Hey there! FELIZ NAVIDAD!! This isn´t going to be a very long
letter cause I want to tell you about this week in person when I talk to
you on Wednesday!! This week was a good one! Maria was baptized and
confirmed and her whole family came. They are all Catholic, so it was
interesting, but neat. I will tell you more about it when we talk. Also
remind me to tell you about our mission Christmas party that we had on
friday. I´ll send some pictures of the happenings of this week. Love you
guys so much and can´t wait to talk to you all!! See you soon!
Just wanted to share a thought I had this morning
actually in my personal study... Joseph Smith, along with some of the
early saints, formed Zion´s camp in 1834 in order to go from Kirtland to
Missouri to help the saints that were facing persecution there. By all
appearances the camp appeared a failure, but the Lord revealed in DyC
105 his reasons for the camp. The prophet Joseph said, we were never
meant to go and fight in Missouri. The point was that the Lord wanted to
see if the men were worthy, obedient and faithful priesthood holders. A
bunch of men from Zion´s camp ended up becoming leaders in the church
in later years. I applied Zion´s camp to the mission. At times we feel
like we´re not accomplishing a lot, but the Lord´s purposes are
different than ours. The mission is to try us, to see if we´ll be
faithful to the commandments, and to prepare us to become leaders in the
future.
Hope that made sense! Love you guys so much!! Have a wonderful Christmas eve and I´ll see you soon! Chau!
