"We Thank Thee, O God, For a Prophet!"

Buenas tardes todos! How is everyone?

This week has been so fun. Hermana Lyman and I are still getting along super well and it is so fun to work together! We have met lots of cool people this week and this coming week we will be teaching a lot of them about Christ and how they can increase their faith in Christ! 

This week in my studies, I have studied a lot about prophets. All throughout the Bible, God taught and guided His people through prophets. Today, He does the same! There is a prophet on the earth again and he guides the Church of Jesus Christ through modern-day revelation. Something that impressed me this week as I studied about prophets was a quote that said something like "Prophets help us understand how our relationship with God should be." So I went and studied some of the former talks that the prophet, President Thomas S. Monson has given, and found lots of talks that helped me understand my relationship with God better. This coming weekend (Saturday and Sunday), President Monson and the other leaders of the church will again address the entire world! If you listen, I promise he will speak about how you can better understand your relationship with God. I know that God loves us just as much as He did in the Bible times, which is why He has called a prophet again in these days, to guide us and teach us! I am so grateful to live in a time with a prophet again. If you want to listen to what he has to say this weekend, visit lds.org. I promise you will not be disappointed!! 

Today we went up into the beautiful mountains (Mt. Baldy) and hiked a little bit. It was so nice to be out in nature and enjoy the views! I'll send some pictures soon.

I love you all! Thank you for the love and support :)

HOoola!

Hi everyone!

Wow, what a whirlwind of a week! It was so fast and I can hardly remember what happened! Hermana Lyman and I get along so well! It is so fun to be with her and to be doing this work of salvation together! Her Spanish is improving so much and I am learning so much with her.

This week I have been thinking a lot about the will of God. Lots of times, we want things according to our timetable, and we forget that God has His own, perfect timetable. He has all the factors and all the outcomes that we cannot see, and He knows exactly what will help us the most. We think we know best when all we can see are the two steps directly in front of us, while he can see the beginning, middle, and end of the path. He knows the hills and the declines, and all the dangers on the trail. As we walk along, we would do well to remember His master plan, and cry out to Him, "Lord, I believe! Help thou mine unbelief," like a trusting father in the New Testament cried out. I am trying to trust more in His will and His timing every day. What a blessing it is to know that He knows the path, and that when we trust in Him, we don't have to worry about what comes next, because we can know that He will only give us the trials we can handle, and the ones that will help us become who He knows we can become. I encourage you all to pray for more trust in His plan, and to accept His will. 

I am so lucky to be a missionary! Thank you for all your support and love.

Love,
