March 31, 2013: Happy Easter

Yeah it was a great Easter Sunday even more because really me and my companion were able to see a grande miracle!! We found people that I like to call gold!! Pretty much they fell from the heavens!  We were pretty much rejected by everyone this week as it has been a holiday weekend... it was looong! lol But saturday night I told my companion pray for a miracle because we weren't going to bring anyone to church! lol that next morning we went to our recent converts house to help them out getting ready and something amazing happened two of the cousins were there and they just started asking tons of questions and in the end they were like ok lets go! lol super funny but awesome because it truly was a miracle for me because just the night before we said those exact words!  It's made me look at the tender mercy of the Lord.  Its made me think of the words of Prophet Alma who said if we can only but give a particle of faith in our Lord and Savior yea even to experiment on His words.  I felt exactly like these words were coming out smacking me on the face.  And I realized that really God gives so much compared to what we do.  We do a small part and He gives us more then our arms can recieve.  I every day write down all the blessings that I received that day and it brings me down to the depths of humility.  But in the same time I am lifted up and rejoice because I know I have God as my power, and as my friend!  I dont worry because I know when I fall he's gonna lift me up. I have learned the importance of being grateful.  It does so much for us knowing that He loves us, and that He cares for us, Keeps me from being prideful,  And makes me love Him even more.  I've learned it's not just enough that we talk with God but that we have a relationship with Him just as we have here with another person.  It's made the long days short and the hard times easy, knowing that all that I go through is what I need,  even though sometimes I dont fully understand I have realized just as Christ says not my will but the will of the Father! It's made me laugh even more about the phrase of my companion because he always says everything happens!  Not realizing it he was teaching me humility, to accept the Fathers will and just be happy!  I've learned that attitude makes the difference we have the choice to look at things how we want,  we have the choice to act how we want with different situations,  It's given me a whole new perspective on agency because now I feel like I'm using it how God wanted.... to give us joy, We aren't here to suffer we aren't here to be sad but I've learned that we need to enjoy the things that life has to offer!  It's supposed to be fun through the hard and easy there is always joy around.  Even in the most difficult situations there is joy!  Like this week I was angry because we just walked in the burning hot sun all day and in the end of the week we were filled with joy to help someone to learn... that joy came from God and I realized that things happen for a reason and that it's only for our good!  It's accepting that its God's will and if we follow Him, He will show us the door out.  It made Ether 12:27 make more sense because He gives us weakness so we are humble... lol oh wait He did that to me... and I couldn't be more joyous!  It's how we want to see things!  I know that everything is for a reason and it's so we can become better!

Anyways as for talking with people day; Utah how freaking fast do things get arround!! I was like I'm gonna tell mom about this and she will be amazed... NOT I guess I will have to tell the people the next time to tell no one so I can tell you!! lol But yeah they were super cool I think we talked for about a hour... lol it was awesome to talk in English... lol kinda hard.  But yeah they said they lived close to us like on 1400 south or something like that not quite sure.  This week we have a baptism,  I'm still in Acahualinca, I write in a computer place... lol  we are going to have changes April 16 I decided I don't like changes! lol but they are good so we can learn... I guess... lol For me I'm happy and just filled with joy!  I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in my life right now!  I'm learning to take every day with joy because time is short and I want the whole time to be Enjoyable!!!  Everything is going great and we are helping lots of people!  I know that God truly lives and that Christ the son is the reason we can go back to him!  I am slowly learning of his love!  I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
I MISS YOU TONS!!! ONLY 362 DAYS LEFT!!! PWEFF
Love Elder Trujillo
