Hello again a todos!!! Its been a great week here in La Ligua. Yesterday while I was sitting in church, I just sat back and reflected on all my time and all the great battles and things I have learned here in La Ligua and i just LOVE this place! Now when I hear "theres no place like home" home falls right here. This branch is just the best branch in the entire world! Love my ligua!!!
First of all I want to give a BIG BRITHDAY SHOUTOUT to the best father in the ENTIRE WORLLLLLDDDD!!!!! Love ya dad, just dont get too old now, alright? ;)
So this week I got a couple different boxes and letters!!! I got a sweet valentires box, and also a box with the triple combinations I bought for converts! The ones I ordered the day of general conference... and they JUST NOW got here. jaja oh well. I was in Quillota for the inerchange with Elder Cabrera. We had a great day and at the end, well, it was his birthday and the last home we went to they had a cake. and well, it was a fun little way to end his birthday!!
Miercoles we had a zone meeting and it actually went really well as well!! We were happy with the outcome! Although, we got out of there late, our bus took extra long in the Calera terminal, and then the whole day we were running behind! jaja Thats life though! You know, before the mission I was really good about being on time, but now, here in Chile, no one takes time very seriously and we just fight to try and stay on schedule so we can make our many visits! jaja
Last fun thought, we had lunch with the new familia in our branch and we got there when they were cooking, and well, the little girl, Anita, was preparing dessert, so I asked if I could help. She accepted and after a few minutes we became the best of friends! and then her brother too! OH I love those little kids! They were shy last time, but now they love us! I just love that familia because they live, and understand the gospel and are just way awesome!!! I love it!!!
Also, this week in my studies, I did an activity from "Predicar mi evangelio" and as I looked at the options of scriptures I could read I thought " well I know what these all talk about, so we will go with the one in Moroni." So I read what it said to read, but it was NOT what I was expecting. I thought it was going to be about charity and loving one another but it went into faith and miracles. And as I read it, it was a humbling experience, but not in a bad way. I really liked it and the spirit was very strong. I know that my faith could be A LOT stronger, and the answer was right there. Clear as day. I invite you all to read it. Moroni 7:32-43. Read it and think how you can apply it to your own life and your own families.
I know that this gospel is true. I know tht Jesus guides us even to this day through a living prophet who loves every single one of us. I know that this life isnt easy, but its worth it. and I know the key to happiness is found through obedience to our Heavenly father. Mosiah 2: 22-24, 41.
I love you all and I hope that everyone is just loving life! Keep on serving others and all your cares and worries will blow away!!! Cuidense!!
Elder Marvin =D
