Questions:
Can you think of any neat stories to share?
What advice do you have for the young men and women in the ward regarding missionary work.
What struggles have you had to face?
What blessings do you see?
What has helped your testimony grow the most?
What has helped you stay focused on the work?
What struggles do you see that people are dealing with?
What is keeping the people away from the gospel?
Well something that has really stood out to me is the importance of the message of the Restoration of the Gospel and the Book of Mormon. There is nothing more important to share than those two things because they contain all the things that are true in this Gospel and it says in Preach My Gospel. The Spirit and the Book of Mormon combined are the most powerful tools in conversion. In the members and in investigators. For the young men preparing for missions: study Preach my gospel NOW. Don´t just read it though. Take time to study it and put thought into it in how you can share it with others (family friends nonmembers etc) Study it at least 15 minutes a day. if not more. PMG contains so many amazing inspired words and thoughts. I wish I would have taken that time to study it more seriously because it is so important to learn the principles and doctrines of our Gospel. For the young men and women. always live virtuously. Always follow the standards in Strength for Youth. Read their patriarchal blessings often too because we receive strength spiritually and revelation every time we read it. Don´t take any thing about this Gospel for granted or as something non important. Attend church EVERY Sunday no matter what comes. Show your faith and desire to follow God and Christ through these actions.
¡Paz fuera!
Love,

These two quotes are from President Howard W. Hunter: 2016 Priesthood/Relief Society Manual
"My message to you today is to "fear not, little flock." It is to encourage you to rejoice in the great blessings of life. It is to invite you to feel the great thrill of gospel living and our Father in Heaven's love. Life is wonderful, even in the hard times, and there is happiness, joy, and peace at stops all along the way, and endless portions of them at the end of the road."
"Please remember this one thing. If our lives and our faith are centered upon Jesus Christ and his restored gospel,nothing can ever go permanently wrong. On the other hand, if our lives are not centered on the Savior and his teachings, no other success can ever be permanently right..."

If every member and investigator read the BoM every day, well we would see a different world. A world full of light, a world full of hope, a world full of love, and simply a world full of the desire to follow their Celestial Father.
I have grown this testimony only through the experiences that I have had for myself. No one can pray in the place of another. No one can read the Book of Mormon for another to receive testimony of it.
We must each take the initiative in these actions ourselves, to learn for ourselves as did the Prophet Joseph Smith.
Well, that is what I would like to share right now. I will keep thinking of more things to share in the coming week.
I have a couple of things written down this week that I want to ask you :)
1. Maybe also in the USB you could send a couple of the Prince of Egypt songs like Deliver Us and some other good inspiring ones :)
2. How much do I have in my checking account with America First? I still haven´t used my debit card yet.
3. send the nice stretchy Bandaid brand bandaids with the package maybe. (not too necessary)
4. Maybe one pair of Corban garments, but this time with a small size shirt because the medium is super loose haha. I like it but I think a little tighter would be better. I actually really like the corban. They don´t sell them here in Colombia
Well, if you see my email before I leave that would be awesome in case you have more questions you can ask me.
Love you so much and thank you for everything you do!!!
