HOPPY EASTER :))

Hey, what’s up! Fill me in on life! Also, "HOPPY EASTER EVERY BUNNY!" An elder created this saying in my district and I thought I’d share it with you all jajajaaj! But really, happy Easter — I hope you all enjoyed it!

I loved being able to focus on the RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST in these days, but I especially loved sharing with others about this beautiful sacrifice He did so WILLINGLY for us.

The president of our branch said something that really stuck out to me, and it was:

"JESUCRISTO DEDICÓ SU TIEMPO."
"JESUS CHRIST DEDICATED HIS TIME."

Which is absolutely so true! He gave up His TIME, LIFE, and literally EVERYTHING for us so that we can follow His example and also be RESURRECTED someday. How amazing is that!

It got me thinking about how sometimes we get so caught up in the world, sometimes we forget to dedicate even a little bit of time to focus on our Savior Jesus Christ. Many say they are busy and don’t have time to focus on Him, but I promise there is ALWAYS TIME FOR THE LORD!

ECCLESIASTES 3:17:
"FOR THERE IS A TIME THERE FOR EVERY PURPOSE AND FOR EVERY WORK."

Even if it’s 5 minutes of your time, Heavenly Father would love to have you dedicate some of YOUR TIME TO HIM.

Oh right, I also forgot to mention MILY’S BAPTISM last week! She actually lives in the Elders’ area, but she and I got really tight because we were originally teaching her, but where she lived in the Elders’ area, we couldn’t anymore — but that’s OK! Mily is literally the sweetest! She’s 18 years old, and when she was first getting to know the Church, you could see the change in her eyes. I don’t know how to explain it, but WOW! This girl literally strengthened my testimony so much!

I’ve officially completed 20 years of life this week. I’m like officially an adult now, one can say, but I still feel young! HALLELUJAH! I spent it with my amazing COMPS and the GALVEZ FAM! I am grateful to them for making this day great!

The district — we now call ourselves "THE POWER RANGERS" — went to the beach today! I did some reading in the Book of Mormon at the beach and found this PODEROSA ESCRITURA! 2 NEFI 26:24:

"24 He doeth not anything save it be for the BENEFIT OF THE WORLD; for he LOVETH the world, even that he layeth down his own LIFE that he may DRAW ALL MEN UNTO HIM. Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not PARTAKE OF HIS SALVATION."

I invite you guys to reflect and ponder the words in this scripture!

Hey, also I just received news that I am changing areas now! I’M GOING TO COMITÁN!!!!!

That’s what I got for you guys this week! Until the next in my new area!

POWER AND PEACE!!!!

CON AMOR,
HERMANA BODEN

¡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...
