CaNcHa En La ArEnA

¡Holisssssss!

Let’s get straight to it! This week we had our zone conference—very inspirational and informative.

Guess what we did todayyyy for p-day?! We went to the BEACH! Couldn't touch the water, but the fact of being there and running in the sand, playing some soccer with the district, absorbing the rays of the sun, relaxing in a hammock, and hearing the sounds of the ocean was so fun and peaceful for me.

Gave me some time to reflect on some things. A scripture I really like that talks about the sand (get it, 'cause I went to the beach, jaja) is in Hosea 1:10. It reads:

"Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be MEASURED nor NUMBERED; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the SONS of the living GOD."

I love the thought that there are so many people in the world like the sand, and not a few of them, but ALL of us are CHILDREN OF GOD. It’s absolutely beautiful how our Heavenly Father knows every single one of us—our thoughts, efforts, intentions, EVERYTHING. Today I found a seashell, and it got me thinking about how the ocean brings them to the seashore, and we can find them. It got me thinking about how unique it is and how we, out of all the people, are like a seashell in the sand. We are different, beautiful, and STAND OUT. Never forget you are like a seashell in the SAND, whom Heavenly Father loves sooo DEARLY and acknowledges your EFFORTS.

I wanted to expand more on this, but I don’t have much time.

¡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 LISTENE...

¡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...
