Mother's Day

Remember that time when you couldn't get to sleep? Remember that time when you scraped your knee? Remember that time when you missed the bus home? Well, so does your mom because she was the one who came to your rescue on each of those occasions. This Mother's Day take a chance to just sit down and remember all that your mom has ever done for you. Just think of the sacrifice made just for you, even though you may not appreciate it! But thinking isn't enough, thank your mom every single day for what she does and thank God every single day for the mom you have.

Mi Cumpleaños!

Wow, yesterday was a birthday I won't forget! It was actually a pretty great day. All my teachers and people in my district are so loving and kind. Hermana Doll gave me 6 of her famous home-made cookies, and those have been delicious. My morning teacher Hermana Jimenez wished me a happy birthday about 100 times. And it was one of the teacher's birthdays yesterday, so I got a slice of his cake! But something really out of the ordinary that happened on my birthday was that I got a new companion. That normally doesn't happen until a transfer date (every six weeks) so it was pretty strange. One of the elders in our district had to be moved from our district, so they split up my trio companionship and put me with the lone elder. My new companion's name is Elder Nolan, and he is a great guy. He knew literally no Spanish before coming here, and has progressed a lot. He has a strong testimony, and I am excited to be working with him! I will miss working with Elder Waters and El

Conference

Hey remember this post post about changing your life? If you don't you better read it! Anyway, I was serious in that post. If you're not completely happy with your life, sit down right now and write ten ways to improve your life. That's what I did! But this brings up the question, how do I change my life? There's this program at Church where we learn things then we act upon them. So start by learning what you need to do. The ability to change your life probably isn't found in a textbook, but it can be found from men and women who are very close to God. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (aka Mormon) has many men and women like this, and they speak to the members of the Church twice a year for one weekend. Their messages are inspired directly from God himself. The words radiate with power and joy. Even if you're not a Mormon, try to listen to some of these speakers. Whether you believe they are Prophets and Apostles or not, they still have a sensibl

The World Today

Everywhere you ever look today, the world is changing. Where many sins were shunned and horrific, they are right before our eyes today. Sin and squalor are all around at almost all angles. At some times, one can feel as if there is no hope and we are consigned to the woe around us, but that is not true. The truth is that the rising generation is the hope. We can be the best we want to be and make this world a better place. Think of your friends, your family, your potential, who you can become. Never give up hope, that is the one thing that is constant. Life can get better, but it's up to us. Sorry for rambling, I just felt like I needed to say this. “Why do we need such resilient faith? Because difficult days are ahead. Rarely in the future will it be easy or popular to be a faithful Latter-day Saint. Each of us will be tested. … Strength comes when you remember that you have a divine nature, an inheritance of infinite worth.” —Elder Russell M. Nelson
