#CalledtoShare

If you have seen this hashtag around Facebook, I bet you are friends with some missionaries!

We are doing a 4 week event on online Proselyting. We are using Facebook as a tool to share what we know and have come to know through the Book Of Mormon.

I invite you to participate. Add yourself to the facebook group "Called to Share" and post a picture and a sentence each week on the event.

I discovered the Book of Mormon when I was young, through the example of my parents, reading it daily. I invite you to discover this book, and discover it again and again. #Discoverthebook

 

"For my soul delighteth in the scriptures, and my heart pondereth them" (2 Nephi 4:15)
I love searching the Book of Mormon! It always helps me find answers and bring peace to my heart. #searchthebook

Carry On

When in trials, it seems like there is no possible way carry on. It feels like we may be alone.

But I Know that our Heavenly Father is always with us. We just simply need to "Keep Calm, and Carry On" for he is with us.

Shall we not [carry] on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward! (D&C 128:22)

Happy Year Mark to Me

On May 29, 2013, I became a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This has been the most life-changing year in my life, and I am becoming somebody I never thought I could be.

I have learned my potential. I still have a long way to go, but I am grateful that I know the path to get there. We are ALL children of our Heavenly Father. We all have a purpose.

I know that this church is true. I know that it is because of the church, the gospel, and my Savior Jesus Christ, I am, who I am, today.

It's been a while....

It has been a bit of time since I have had the chance to update my blog. [Sorry about that]

But I have learned a lot in the past few weeks. I have seen so many miracles. One of my main goals right now is to follow the Lord's will. I have learned that sometimes, answers to prayers don't come until Heavenly Father knows our heart is completely to accept whatever he needs us to do. That is called Real Intent. (Moroni 10:4-5)

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.
