hey sorry i dont have very much time

hello!! thank you all for your prayers i really need them especially during this challenging time here on the mission. We are working to get new investigators  because we had a drop  a ton of them because they chose not to progress :(  

one guy his name was Javier was so special, he ended up moving , with out telling us!it was sad

consecration week was this week!

 consecration definition: leaving your will behind and do God's will. It is hard, so this week instead of looking at being consecrated for your whole mission seems too hard for some missionaries so our zone leaders received good inspiration for our zone. they came up with Consecration week, to be exactly obedient, and let go of all the worldly things and use the atonement more. It is great because now how can we, any of us ever go back. It was funny to see all the missionaries throw in their things in the alter of sacrifice and vocalize their written imperfections and say how it is for the best. some were funny, mine wasn't because i was being totally serious about mine. 

YAAAy we taught a less active girl named Jessica shes 17 we had an amazing lesson with her about the Plan of Salvation with an emphasis on Lehi's dream on the purpose of life. We shared parts of Elder Bednar's talk and compared the difference between the people that clinged to teh rod and those that continually held fast to it.  The 2nd group those that clinged, got to taste of the fruit but looked around as if they were ashamed and eventually fell away, most likely these people ocassionally read and prayed. while the others were consistant, disciplined and no matter how hard life got they remained firm those were able to partake of eternal life with their loved ones. He went on to say that the gospel is our survival guide, i love that it explaines it as a survival guide . when you are in the wilderness you need to know how to survive, you need to know how to hunt and gather to obtain food, how to protect yourself from wild beasts, you need to know how to heal wounds, you need to know how to get to where you need to be to be safe. The Gospel of Jesus Christ equips us for all the challanges of life, we have the atonement to heal our wounded souls, we have the scriptures to give us the knowledge we need to be wise and nourish our hearts with he good word, and to protect us from the attacks of Satan, and the words of God that lead us safely to our eternal home.  Anyway, love the Gospel and i know you all do too, so share it!! :)

I'm out here baking. These were actually made for the people that are potetials , we made these for them and attatched scriptures to them with toothpicks, so hopefully they soften theri hearts and let us teach them!
