Called to Serve

¡holaaaaa primero la semana esta bien!

Hola ustedes,

Elder Annas y yo
This week has been so awesome! I've been able to feel the La Espiritu so much!  There are 8 elders in my district.  Because we have such a small district, we basically can go everywhere together. After four days I already love all these elders. Two are from San Diego, one from St. George, orem, American fork, Texas, and Arizona. My compañero is from American Fork and his name is Elder Annas. He is really smart. He also has some social challenges so my patience has definitely grown a ton. 

So far with language class we have been doing pretty good. We can all pray in spanish, recite scriptures from memory, and carry a basic conversation. My compañero never learned spanish before so I've been able to see him improve and its AMAZING how the Gift of Tongues works. 

An awesome miracle happened THE SECOND day we were here. On the first day,  Elder Lloyd had gotten a test for MONO because he was really sick. Later in the middle of that night, he was throwing up and didn't sleep at all. When he had woken up to go to el baño, I had an impression that we should give him a blessing in the morning.  Morning cam around and when I brought up the idea, everyone said they had the same thought. I was able to anoint the oil, and Elder Bird gave the blessing. In the blessing he said that Elder Lloyd would not have mono and would get better. Low and behold, when. the test results came in, he didn't have mono! Mucho milagros!

I love this gospel and I know it is here on this earth! I know that personal revelation is real because I have seen it in my life! I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week!

Spanish Word of the Day  :  Mandamás  - (Big boss, head honcho, big dog)  Buena' día', e'pero que todo e'ta bien con ustede' (Dominican Spanish haha)  All is well here, a little update on our friends: Manuel -He's probably 50 years old. One of the most solid people we have ever met. We asked him to stop drinking coffee and he said he'd stop right in that moment. This guy is powerful!  Alberto  - Soft-spoken guy but knows the Bible very well, he has a very strong desire to know the truth. I want to talk about the concept of temptation.  We know that while we are on this earth, we will experience both good and evil. That is just a given about being mortal, basically all of 2 Nephi 2. Now, I genuinely think that God did not just leave us down here to be completely subject the the evils of this world. He's given us some tools to fight those enticings. We read in the Pearl of Great Price in Moses 1:10-26 of Moses (a great prophet) when he is tempted....

Once upon a time there was a five Elder apartment

Good morning friends and family,  Spanish word of the day is: madrugador (early riser)  Forgive me for not sending an email the last week, things have been a bit crazy as we recieved two more elders in our already limited space apartment. The day before transfers we got a lovely call from our mission leaders saying "Elders! You're making mission history tomorrow!"  So there we were, preparing to fit two Japanese elders in the beloved Rumny Flats. We thought we were all set, but spoke too soon. No hate though, they're good guys, all we needed to do was set a few standards of living with them.  The weather is falling into fall little by little. The ocasional tree with colors and the cool brisk nightly winds have arrived.  I read a neat story in John 8:54-59 this week. It's when Jesus is teaching on the temple mount during a large Jewish festival. The Pharasees and Sadducees were trying to discredit Jesus by trying saying he was younger than the prophet Abraham. We...
