Oveja - Buscando Al Indicado

¡Holaaaaa!

In my studies this week, I have been focusing on the people out in the field I get the opportunity to teach. Also, I leave for the field next week, and I’ve been here over a month (time slow down!).

A scripture I read and that has stuck out to me is in Luke 15:4, and it says:

"What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?"

The last few years, I’ve had the desire to be a nurse or something like it. There is so much I can say, but through my CNA clinicals and working at an assisted living facility, I’ve seen people in pain, and it hurts to watch. It got me thinking about how our Savior feels that pain. He feels our pain, sorrows, and trials. That can't be easy, but it is also a blessing because He knows how we feel. So turn to Him in prayer, and He can bring you comfort. I know from experience because I pray A LOT that He is a GREAT LISTENER. I am so grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ and His sacrifice FOR US. The amount of people He has helped and healed is so amazing!

I loved working as a CNA because I could help them. And that smile of gratitude and love, and the feeling that I was helping them. THAT SMILE, THAT ONE SMILE, is everything to me.

This week, I remembered that in my temple recommend, that same scripture about the lost sheep is on it, and at the top, it says "SEEKING THE ONE." As I am in the field, it doesn't matter about the number. It is just that ONE person. THE ONE who is lost and has been waiting. That ONE PERSON who needs me and my companion, but most of all the Savior, and can feel His love that we have been so blessed to feel. His love, this gospel, and the people mean EVERYTHING to me. I can't wait to serve those of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Mexico, and SEEK FOR THE ONE. What a wonderful opportunity. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Also, we played basketball and ping pong in the rain—highly suggest doing so! It's been a rainy week with some loud thunder, which is awesome! (Got some pics in the rain, of course.)

Always praying for you all and very grateful! Reach out if there is anything I can do for you, and send me pictures, please! I would love to see how you are doing! Catch up with you next week! ¡Adios!

¡Buenos días! ¿Cómo están? How is everyone doing? Here in Cacahoatán, a member, Hermano Marvin, has been teaching my compañera and me more about the history of the Book of Mormon, and let me tell you, it's FASCINATING! After our discussion, he asked me how I felt, and I said, "NO TENGO PALABRAS" - "I HAVE NO WORDS." First off, he showed us a map of the Book of Mormon lands, which are in the Mesoamericas. He says Hermana Huerta and I are extremely lucky because we are literally serving in "A PROMISED LAND" mentioned in the Book of Mormon! There are a few stones here, but one we specifically focused on is the IZAPA STONE (The Tree of Life). This stone includes many pictures and symbols from the scriptures! Ahh, I wish I could sit down and explain it all to you right now! I still need to do a lot more research, though. I bought a stone and will put a picture of it in my Google Photos, along with the map, for you all if you are interested! You can basicall...

¡NECESITA COCA!

Hola! OK, first off - RAMBUTAN (the BEST fruit in the WORLD)!! I tried it a week ago and fell in love! Sadly, rambutan is only grown here. Sorry. I also tried papaya and mangosteen, along with many other things. Papaya is alright, and mangosteen is also really good! They grow on so many trees! With that said, gullible Hermana Boden was trying to get some rambutan off a random tree (jumping as high as I could) when a lady spotted us! I was like, "oh no," because it could have been her tree. My companion and I looked at each other with concern... The lady said, "come here!... I have more inside." Phew. We got some fruit and were also able to give her a little lesson. So my gullibility led us to teach this lady! Pretty good! Hermana Boden also put her hair in a French braid, a pretty proud moment! (I'm not very good at hair). I always had my cousin Rue do it back home. Here they call Coke "Coca." When I was younger and started my love for sports, I quit d...
