HELLO!
Wow, well this week has been super incredible and I have learned so much.  Im so very grateful for all that i have learned and all the ways that I've grown.  Yes, its sometimes been hard and sometimes I just dont know what to do, however, one thing I've learned slowly and slowly is Trust in God and he will show you where to go.  Ive learned to be grateful for my trials because they teach me to become better and to become more like my Savior.  It's helped me to know that God as well trusts in me to give me the tests.  Because if He knew i wouldnt be able to overcome them he would never have given them to me.  At times i feel like its impossible but, he always shows me the path that leads me to Him. As ive been going throughout this week i have learned to ask myself in every situation what would Jesus do?  As i have been focusing on what i need to learn from every situation I become strengthened and my life becomes a learning experience.  Also I have been studying about revelation and I have learned that God can answer us in many  ways but there are three types of revelation that we recieve 1 is a type that comes very fast and fills our mind with all we need. kind of like a light that fills a dark room fast and we can see everything.  2 which comes in a gradual form until we understand all, like the rising of the sun which gives us little by little.  and 3 the one that I recieve most often which is like when we are only able to see a little in front of us to keep going step by step. learning more and more until we have all.  Like a foggy street with only a flashlight.  However, these three forms of revelation come from the spirit of God that which gives us light is the spirit which teaches us and gives us this knowledge from our Father in Heaven.  haha just a little knowledge I've learned from my studying.  Well like I've said this week has been great I've learned so much from love, to patience, to compassion, to courage.  Its been one of the most spiritual growing experiences I've had, however not only this but also some of the biggest trials that I've had.  Learning to love with all my heart is what opened the doors to the path to God.  Growing close to these people more has helped me to understand their needs, to truely care about what they have to say, and in every form possible helping them to recieve the restored gospel.  I was studying the kingdoms of glory the other day and learned about how amazing the lowest glory is.  And i got to thinking that if its truely that great I couldnt even imagine the Celestial Kingdom. This leads to the love that I have developed for these people.  Truely putting into perspective my mission as a missionary.  The love God has for us is one that I could never understand, and its only given me all the more strength to push myself even further for Him in this work... however not only for Him but also for my brothers and sisters who are lost and confused wanting the truth.  Ive learned more and more about the plan of salvation and I testify that if we truely understand the whole plan that we will only fight that much harder to the highest glory, however not for ourselves but for all.  As I've learned more and more Its given me the strength and desire to help others to this end that God has for us.  And its free to all who are willing to accept it.  I want to give you the chance to do the same and truely strive to understand more the plan of salvation and to understand the parts deeply.  I know that it will only help you to understand more of our purpose.  I know I was given this family for a reason and i know that i wouldn't of choosen any other family but this one.  I know even more that we can live together forever with God... But without a doubt.  I know it!! I cant explain how much i want it and it comes through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  I know Christ lives and through Him we will live too! Follow the promptings of the spirit and he will guide you in paths of truth and happiness! I am grateful for each and everyone of you and for all that youve done! i hope you can all feel this same joy that ive felt through knowing this plan.  I hope you can come to understand this plan. I love you all! and want you to know thattttt!!
LOVE ELDER TRUJILLO!!
