CONTINUAMENTE PRONTOS!!!!

Hellooo my friendssss! Another fast week has passed!

Met some cool people this week. Went to a Relief Society devotional and it made me feel proud to be a woman. Then today for p-day we went to the beach again because you know, WE'RE LIKE THAT!

I'm currently in a combi, surrounded by a bunch of people, a weird movie is playing, and I'm listening to church music while trying to figure out what to share with you guys! Hmmmm what do I got for you guys this week...

Ah, I remember now, I've got something! Ok my extraordinary people, I remember reading this talk by Elder David A. Bednar called "Watchful Unto Prayer Continually" this week. It's a killer talk, I would recommend reading it!

He shared two great scriptures in his talk that I liked. The first was in Alma 34:39:

"39: Yea, and I also exhort you, my brethren, that ye BE WATCHFUL UNTO PRAYER CONTINUALLY, that ye may not be led away by the temptations of the devil, that he may not overpower you, that ye may not become his subjects at the last day; for behold, he rewardeth you no good thing."

I also remember reading another talk the other day that said something about the difference between the power of Satan and Jesus Christ is that Satan wants to have and take all the power while Jesus Christ wants to give each of us the POWER. Dang it, the person that said it said it so much cooler but I can't find it. Whatever, I thought that was pretty cool and good to think about!

And the second was in Doctrine and Covenants 50:46:

"46 WATCH, therefore, that ye may be READY. Even so. Amen."

In Elder Bednar's talk, he also talks about cheetahs and topis and how we need to be like TOPIS and BE WATCHFUL, aware, and alert of the bad things like cheetahs. Sometimes the dangers and evils of the world can distract from what really matters, and that of course is our HEAVENLY FATHER! So friends, as cool as cheetahs are and are actually one of my favorite animals, in this analogy shared by Elder Bednar we need to be careful and PREPARE for when those bad cheetahs are trying to attack us. If it's necessary, I'll try to fight off those bad cheetahs with you. You know I've always got your backs and Heavenly Father does too! Like those topis, we are a team and a family.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Take care everyone and if you need anything, don't be scared to shoot me an email or text!

¡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...
