16 Mar 2015 - Hard Work

Querido familia,
Nunca he trabajado tan duro en mi misión como lo hice en la semana pasada.  Tuvimos mucho trabajo, muchas citas y tantos contactos en la calle. He empezado a amar hablando acerca del evangelio con la gente aquí y en Martes pasada tuvimos intercambios con los líderes de zona. Elder Alvarez me enseño cómo a quitar mi miedo por medio las oportunidades que Él Señor nos envía para demostrar nuestra fe en Él. Enseñamos todo un camión lleno de gente y realmente no era tan aterrador.  Estoy agradecido por los dones y los talentos que he nacido con a lograr esas cosas que El Señor me has pedido a hacer.
Así que estas personas en las calles , llamados fariseos , básicamente lo que son es los viejos en los vestidos de cuentas como indios y bailan por dinero . Los sombreros que tienen son impresionantes. Ellos son de la religión católica , pero es una tradición aquí en Navojoa . Es realmente extraño pero divertido al mismo tiempo. Realmente quiero uno de allí sombreros , ya que sería un buen disfraz de Halloween. Y siempre se puede oírlos venir porque uno en de ellos siempre tiene un tambor que late en él mientras los demás bailan .Voy a enviar una imagen para ustedes para ver. 
El pasado Jueves a las 6 en la mañana, recibimos una llamada del Presidente Munive. Él nos dijo que tuvimos una reunión de capacitación en Obregón, que es una hora de distancia de nosotros, con los otros nuevo misioneros a las 9 am. En la reunión vimos un video sobre el principio de ' ' la práctica hace al maestro ' ' . De modo que practicamos la enseñanza de la restauración de la iglesia por medio del profeta José Smith. Y , por supuesto, de todos los grupos que practicaban , nuestro grupo era el que estaba ' ' clasificado ' ' por el presidente de la misión . Cada compañía se clasificó en una hoja para ver si se les enseña a todos los puntos de la doctrina en la lección de la restauración ! Nos matamos ! Yo estaba un poco nervioso, pero lo hicimos bastante bien.   

Tenemos muchas cosas a hacer entonces no tengo mucho tiempo a escribir. Estoy agradecido por ustedes y espero que el clima se mantiene caliente.

Les Amo!

Dear family,

I've never worked so hard in my mission as I did last week. We had a lot of work, many appointments and many contacts in the street. I started to love talking about the gospel with people here and last Tuesday had exchanges with area leaders. Elder Alvarez showed me how to remove my fear through the opportunities that The Lord sends us to demonstrate our faith in Him. We teach a whole truckload of people and really was not that scary. I am grateful for the gifts and talents that I was born with to achieve those things that the Lord has called me to do.

So these people in the streets, called Pharisees, basically what they are is the oldest in the accounts as Indian dresses and dance for money. The hats they have are awesome. They are of the Catholic religion, but it is a tradition here in Navojoa. It is really strange but funny at the same time. I really want one of their hats, as it would be a good Halloween costume. And you can always hear them coming because one of them always has a drum beating on it while others dance  .I'll to send a picture for you to see.

Last Thursday at 6 in the morning, we received a call from President Munive. He told us we had a training session in Obregon, which is an hour away from us, with the other new missionaries at 9am. At the meeting we watched a video on the principle of 'practice makes perfect'. So we practiced teaching the restoration of the church through the prophet Joseph Smith. And of course, all groups practicing, our group was that was '' classified '' by the mission president. Each company was rated on a sheet to see if we taught at all points of doctrine in the lesson of restoration! We kill! I was a little nervous, but we did pretty well.

We have many things to do then I have little time to write. I am grateful for you and hope the weather stays warm.

Love you!

''Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.'' (Colossians 2:8) 

Genesis 9:8-16

8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

 9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

 10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

 11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

 12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

 13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

 14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

 15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

 16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
