I've obviously never been perfect and I have sins
and problems just like everybody. I have had times in my life when I had
to ask myself if God is real just like everybody. I have had many times
where I asked why should I follow the commandments? And I have had many
times where I didn't and it cost me. But still until this conference I
had my biggest question answered.
Why don't I
just live my life and not worry about commandments and do what ever I
want and party "Eat Drink and be Marry" it just seems so much
easier for those people who party and have fun but during this
conference and from now I on I know why I follow the commandments. It's
not because I will look like a better person or because I can be an
example to others those are just perks... but it's because I love Him. I
LOVE Our Heavenly Father and I love Jesus Christ... nobody understands
what Jesus Christ did for us and we will not have to go through that in
this life, but he did it for us out of love. We have an opportunity to
love him and show through the life we live how much we love Him. There
is no greater gift we have received and we will never be able to comprehend what he did for us.
For me there is a
new reason to be out here on a mission and help other people and that
is because of love. I love every single one of you and I miss every
single one of you so much but the Lord asked me to be here and so I am
out here and I am out here out of love.
So
that was sweet, but also this week we have started a new thing called
GRACIASAQUEELVIVE which means thank you to that he lives but I think it
is because he lives in English, it's on the front page on youtube. But
this helped me gain a testimony and if you want a family home evening
idea throught that on and the first time read what it says and talk about
what you have thanks to him living and then look at the pictures only
and tell me its not exactly what you said... this was a testimony
builder for me, I hope it will do the same for you...
We
had an activity for this initiative we have with our ward and then we
played volley ball after and I'll tell you what if you ever want to see a
bishop mad make sure the team opposed to him wins haha but that was
really fun.
Yesterday we had a
guy stop us on the street and it was so funny. He almost fell 5 times and
we had to catch him and oh man he was right in front of me and I heard
his vomit coming and................ I jumped out of the way but wow it
was a lot and then he fell over thankfully the other way then his throw
up but then his cholo buddies came over to him and helped him and we
left but if I didn't step out of the way I would have had a face full of
alcohol throw up. So I count that as a blessing this week 
Everything
was great this week! I love you all! Me and my companions moto is to be
"STRONGER THEN YESTERDAY". I don't know who sings this song but my
companion always sings it so now it's our moto haha. So I invite everyone
to be stronger or better then they were yesterday!!
Adios muchachos!!
