Everything´s going good with my new assignment. We´re in a trio now because my future companion, Elder De la Cruz, had his comp go home this week. So now we´re going to be in a trio for the next three weeks until Elder Garcia goes home to Quito. I´m doing good.
I´m super excited for Christmas. All of the office Elders get to eat at President and Sister Dennis´s house. So that´s pretty neat. The entire mission went to the temple last week, so that kept us pretty busy. We get to go this week.
On Tuesday, Jefferson is going to do baptisms for the dead for the first time, so I might get to see him there.
I took a ton of pictures from last pday, but my memory card just got corrupted, and it´s not letting me send more pictures. But that´s okay, I´m sure we´ll be able to fix it.
Love you all, Merry Christmas!
Here are photos of Office P-day.

Belief is the reason we go on a mission. It is the motive for preaching about Christ and sharing/Proclaiming his love. Faith is understanding we are children of God and our Heavenly Father. May this definition of faith bless you in your life. Faith is defined again and because faith has an inherent joy it gives us a solid foundation that we finally have the peace we have been searching for.
ReplyDelete"Many believer's feed themselves on what God hasn't done. When I dwell on what hasn't happened, I create the atmosphere for the spirit of offense to arise and to thrive. When I dwell on what hasn't happened, I legitimize unbelief. I live with a sense of justification, for not believing God.
Faith in the purest sense is the ceasing of resistance. even when there's no physical evidence, when the other evidence is present. Not feeding ourselves on what God hasn't done Faith in it's purest form is the absence of resistance
Heaven is a place where everyone is celebrated, some are more honored but everyone is celebrated. All men and all women shall be judged on the light which they have received. Heaven is a permissible culture. God's nature is eternally permissible. These statements protect us from credit.
Faith in the purest sense is the ceasing of resistance, even when there's no physical evidence, when the other evidence is present. Not feeding ourselves on what God hasn't done. Faith in it's purest form is the absence of resistance. Faith doesn't deny a problems existence, it denies it's influence. He or she was someone whom aridity and desolation never disturbed for he or she had a deeply rooted, and a vigorous faith.
Now we can act as we have always dreamed. Now we can act as we have always been. Now we can step into the light and gather the sunlight instead of blocking out our possibilities. Instead of blocking out our joy. Variety will bloom in/under the sun. We can show off our best, we can enjoy other people's gifts. We can blossom where we stand upon the joy that faith provides us. Upon the joy that faith inherently has, which blossoms the entire field of flowers"
