Oh my Devin GRADUATED!!!!!!!!! I LOVED your pictures! I am so proud of you Dev! And tell Rudy how proud I am of him too! Huge Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!
Ok....I just hit my 6 month mark this week?! May 20....WHAT happened to the last 6 months? It blows my mind. I will have been in Torrejón for a third of my mission! I feel so lucky and blessed. I love this area so much and I know I´m going to miss it!
Did you get all my pictures from Jhon´s baptism?! He was so happy :) It was so good!!!! He´s still doing great :)
Lately I´ve been thinking so much about how much Heavenly Father has invested in us. The whole Plan of Salvation is FOR us! The Savior has invested EVERYTHING in us. His life, his teachings, His Atonement. Everything he has done for us is because He loves us so much. He created the world FOR us! There´s no way he could have done all that He did if He didn´t have love for us. We had a really incredible zone conference this last week and I was reminded of the incredible and incomprehensible love that the Lord has for us. The Savior was the greatest missionary of all because he worked by loving people. As missionaries, we literally are here to share ourselves and share our love. Sometimes, its hard to know if things we say and do really are making a difference, but I know with all of my heart that when we love others and express that love to them through kind words and simple acts of kindness, service, the love that we share really does impact them so much.
"Los missioneros más eficaces siempre obran for Amor."
- Élder Dallin H. Oaks
I know that is true. I know that this is the Lord´s work. In order to do the Lord´s work, we HAVE to love others. To be all that the Lord wants us to be, to be our best selves, to be happy, we have to LOVE others. When we love others, we are happier and more grateful people and we show the Lord that we love him.
I know that the Lord is aware of us in every experience and circumstance we find ourselves in. He knows us personally and perfectly. We are so blessed to have the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ on the earth today, to understand the Plan that God has for us, and to understand the reality of the Savior´s Atonement. I know that Joseph Smith was called of God to restore the Gospel back to the earth and that he was called of God to be the prophet of our dispensation. I love the Book of Mormon, I know that it is the word of God, it testifies of Christ and we are protected from the craziness of the world when we read and study it. I know that we have a living prophet who guides the Lord´s church on the earth today with the correct authority. We are blessed.
I hope you all have the best week ever! I love you!
