My prayers are with the efforts of Nelido as he struggles to overcome the natural man and become a disciple of Christ. I know it is not easy nor does it happen overnight but over the course of a lifetime we can achieve our goal. He should follow the wise counsel found time and again in the scriptures to "Lift up your head and be of good cheer. " This advice is always preceded in the scriptures by some form of sorrow, trial, or heartache. I have faith that he can do it! Let him know that I believe in his ability to overcome any obstacle. I know God always provides a way for us to be obedient. Sometimes we have to try several different approaches to be successful like Nephi and the brass plates. Or Alma and the city of Ammonihah. Just don't give up!
Drunk people can be funny at times, others not so much. Unfortunately, all who suffer from alcoholism are destructive to their lives to varying degrees. It is interesting that the very thing Satan can never have is what he constantly tempts us to abuse.
Sariah was switched back to days at Walmart, they are really pleased with how quickly she learns and what a hard worker she is.
Camilla bought her first car. See picture. She worked long and hard to save enough money. And she waited patiently to find the right car that we approved of. It has dents on the drivers side but low miles and came from a decent owner. She loves it and I know it could get her through college.
Nauvoo spent a few days volunteering at the humane society for a project. They think she is amazing and would love to have her come back. She is getting ready for girls camp which is later this week. Camp is always a spiritual highlight I am so glad to be able to go with my girls.
Malachi and I had a fantastic time at the Forest and Range day camp we attended. I will send a few pics.
I just applied for BYU-I online. I have to receive Ecclesiastical Endorsement from Bishop then meet with President Thompson and get his endorsement also, before they will look at my application. I am excited to finally have the opportunity to take this step!
Dad has a 4 day ride planned this weekend. There was a large group of them who planned on going but it has dwindled down to the final three amigos. They always seem to have a wonderful time adventure riding. Taking in all the majestic beauty of the earth.
When dad and I were in the temple this week, I felt like there was such an incredible amount of knowledge about the Earth that we all still need to learn before we can become creators. Today President Thompson said "I am glad we do not have to rely on our gardens for all of our substance, for mine is sad." He gave an incredible talk one statement I will share with you. "The seed of remembering grows into gratitude which produces generosity." Ponder and study that this week and let me know what comes of it. I love you forever and always!
Love,
Mom
Hey Momma,
this week was really good and very successful, to me. We didn't have a baptism but that's coming up. But everything else number wise was really good, every week we have a challenge in our District, and whoever wins gets candy or something from every set of missionaries, last week we chose to do the companionship with the the highest number of references received and I'm pretty sure we are going to win we had 24, but you never know, someone else could beat us. Also we put on an activity for the branch called "Día de los Países", "Nations Day", It was awesome every one brought food from where they were and Decorations or a flag of their country. It was really good we had music playing and people eating and Dancing, everyone did a dance from their country. We also invited this guy that we met in the street, he said that he was taking the lessons from the missionaries when he was in Tenerife, and he came but he brought 2 of his friends, They came to the activity, drunk, and first of the guy who stopped us wanted to preach to everyone at the activity about how the BoM changed his life (I'm not sure if I was excited or scared about that.) We told him not to. His other two friends were from the Sahara, and a guy gave him a little plate of food and told him that it was really good, but the guy freaked for some reason. Luckily he just walked outside instead, so we walk outside to talk to him and he is freaking out and yelling in Spanglish, I have no idea what happened. The guy who gave him a plate walked out to say sorry for whatever happened. Turns out he got mad cause he thought he was saying the food he gave him was better than the food from his country. So he was yelling at him, "tú crees que that food es mejor que toda the food in my county?! Have you comido un buffalo? Un Gazelle? Un Kamel? Y tú me dices that that is mejor?" He ended up just walking away with his friends super angry. Me and my companion died, I wonder what was going through this dudes head. Anyways were all good and safe, it actually says in my Patriarchal Blessing that I will be safe in my mission and I feel that God has kept me safe so far, even though I'm in this crazy island that I love. The work is good I'm good and I feel blessed, I love you Mom and the family. Que tenga una buena semana, Your favorito Missionary Moroni
