September 15, 2013

Well mom this has been a very good week and it's been a big learning experience... once again!! lol  I'm learning a lot about what it says in Mosiah 2: 41.  This change there has been a lot of temptations to do that which I have been taught not to do!  I've learned too as well that we too must come unto Christ with all purpose of heart if we want to overcome all temptation.  I've also been able to learn more about my weaknesses and I'm learning little by little on how to overcome them!  I am happy to hear all is going well with the family.

Well for me as I said it's been a learning experience to be here in the concepcion.  I have learned lots and lots and lots about patience as well as obedience.  These two principles actually I am sure go hand in hand with the faith.  I've learned that obedience as well as patience takes a sacrifice to obtain.  And I've learned that's where it comes into play the words of the prophets when they say come unto Christ and take your cross.  That we sacrifice little things to obtain something greater, and to many we may seem crazy or we may seem nuts.  But unto us it is but a small price of what the Savior and Redeemer did for us.  I've learned to be able to show more unto my Savior about how much I love him and how much I truly do care about him.  Maybe I sometimes don't do it 100 percent but I do understand that its worth the climb to fight for that freedom that Jesus gives.  Not freedom temporally but however spiritually.  I learned in the bible that we must see things in a spiritual plane and not just on a temporal one.  Seeing things through the eyes of our spirit and not of that of our flesh.  I've come to understand that when we see through these eyes the greatest sacrifices that we make unto the world will only be a small piece of the puzzle that is slowly but surely coming together!  It's been an interesting adventure my mission and I never would have thought I would have been given the great privilege of serving but I've come to know that it's the greatest work there is upon the whole entire world!  I know that there is none better then this, I also know that my savior and redeemer has given me the chance to be able to overcome death both spiritually and temporally allowing me through my obedience unto him return to his presence... And to be honest I want to do it because I love him, and wouldn't want anything more then to live with my Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ for all eternity.  Maybe it's not easy but it will always be worth it!  I know Christ suffered all things for me to help me in how I feel and what I am going through.  It's by that same knowledge which has helped me to overcome many challenges and difficult times!!  I love you all and hope you too that you can gain this great knowledge of the goodness and love our or father in heaven!

Love you all
