Hallelujah

Hellooooo friends and familia

This has been an awesome week to reflect on the atonement of Jesus

Christ in preparation for the release of the Easter video Hallelujah.

I read a lot in Jesus the Christ in the Bible and the Book of Mormon

and feel like I'm slowly learning more and more about my Redeemer.

Leading up to His crucifixion Christ had been mocked and persecuted to

a point that he struggled to carry his cross the whole distance to

Calvary. He had been beaten, spit on and wore a crown of thorns on his

head- submitting to the will of the Father. He suffered all things and

his example of perfect charity continued in his time of great personal

anguish. As I think about the scripture that says to take up the cross

daily I look to my Savior and think of this cross he bore as he

approached this painful suffering and death. Our trails are very small

compared to those things that Jesus Christ has already passed through

but I know that as we emulate his example in our trials and

tribulation we will be supported and lifted up in the last day. As we

carry our burdens with faith and hope we will never be walking alone.

This week we had an activity in our branch for la obra misional it was

kind of like Olympic themed and we wanted to do like little minute to

win it games and have different teams that competed against eachother.

Anyways we thought it was all ready to go last week but then we found

out that the plans weren't really set and nobody was taking charge and

it kind of got pushed to us last minute so we're like ok we were a

little stressed but just tried our best to put it together and it

turned out awesome! Heavenly Father really blessed us and helped us

because it really was a success we had three investigator families

there that were competing and loving it haha we were laughing so hard

the whole time because everyone was making it super intense but it was

so much fun and all of the investigators kept thanking us for inviting

them. Haha we first did a three leg race then a game where they had to

move a cookie from their forehead to their mouth without their hands

haha and then one where you tie a balloon around your ankle and try to

pop other people's haha and then a marshmallow pass on a spoon it was

so funny turned out great and the members made carne asada tacos so

everyone was happy.

This week we have the baptism of Iveth and Andres it is going to be

amazing. Their family is a huge miracle for us and we love them so so

much!! There are so many miracles everyday and I'm so grateful to be a

missionary!!!

I love you all!!!
