Really Live

She is my hero!

I know I am Here for a reason...

I am serving my mission in the Washington DC South mission, speaking Spanish.

I was called to serve here by a prophet of God.

I will serve here for the entire 18 months of my mission. I have had the incredible opportunity to serve here for a year now, and have fallen in love with the people and the place.

I know that I have been sent here for a reason. These Specific people needed me....and I needed them.

A seed

Sometimes, we have no idea what kind of an impact our actions can make on others. Or the example we can be to others.

In December, me and my companion started teaching Rosemary. She lived below a member of our church for over 8 years. Her friend tried to introduce her to the church many times, but she was not interested.

Eventually, during a pivatol moment in her life, the missionaries knocked on her door. For the first time, she let them him and heard their message.

This past January, Rosemary took the step toward her Savior, and was baptized.

After her baptism, her children saw the happiness it brought her. Her teenage son, went to church and was invited to a scout camp with other youth. After that, we started teaching Noel.

He has been an amazing example to me, I have seen the change in him and I have seen myself grow from it.

Last week, Noel and his little sister Emily were baptized.

 

 

I have been touched by their story. It all started as a seed. It grew and grew, and will continue to grow. But, they will also touch and change the lives of others. I know they have changed mine.

It's the weekend!

Many thoughts come to me when I think of the weekend.

I think of how the weekend is not a time to relax, as a missionary.

I think of the warm sun, and un-rolled windows.

I think of how close we are the Monday-- Got the love our day to rest!

Then, my mind turns to Sunday. The one day a week that we are asked to rest from our labors. To worship the almighty God. To think of him. Attend church, and be made new through him.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, and your mind turns to the sacred nature of Sunday.

(Not to mention, tomorrow Noel gets baptized! Oh happy day!)

Liahona Lane: We Believe in Biblical Things

Liahona Lane: We Believe in Biblical Things: We Believe... That God spoke to a young boy and called him to be a prophet . That Christ's true church can only be restored ...

You are Never Alone

At times on our mission, we do everything we can to draw close to our Heavenly Father. But we still feel alone at times.

 

I am convinced when we are in trials, he watches lovingly, but must let us learn for ourselves.

 

But even when we make mistakes, are in trials and tribulations, or simply feel alone.....

 

He is with us. I know it.

 

We just have to reach out to him.  

 



The Restoraton

Many of you know that I am Mormon.
But many of you don't know that, that means I am Christian.

We believe in Christ.
He lives, and he is our Savior.

When he came to the earth, he established his church with authority and power from God.
He gave this same authority to his twelve apostles. 

After his death, the apostles were killed as well; leaving the earth without this authority.

There were good people, that looked for the truth, but they lacked the power and authority from God.

After a long period of time, a young boy wanted to know the truth. His name was Joseph Smith.

He asked God what church he should join. As he prayed,  Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ appeared to him and told him to join none of the churches- because they lacked the authority

He was called to be a living day prophet and restore the truth the world. He was given the same authority that Jesus Christ had.

Today we have the truth. But you have to find out for yourself, if it is true. We have a living day prophet and we have the EXACT same church that Jesus Christ established on the earth again.

It has been restored.

I know it is true. You just have to find out for yourself....
