| Singing praises to moms |
Happy belated Mother's Day everyone! I got to talk to the best mom
in the world yesterday with Skype! I know that thou shalt not covet, but
you can be a little jealous ha. I finally got to explain to her what
the Mother's Day card that I sent her last year really meant, because it
was in Spanish haha.
President gave us an awesome talk from Elder Eyring in October
2003. I invite everyone to read that talk because its the true essence
and "secret" to successful missionary work. It helped me see how natural
it should be for all true disciples of Christ. In this week I have
tried hard not to ever pressure anyone, but rather listen and teach with
love. Transfers are today and President told me again that the Lord
wants me to stay with Elder Oliver, because I'm "helping him to be a
missionary". I'm honored with that heaven sent calling! We are going to
do awesome this transfer I know it.

Yesterday I gave a talk in church after being asked to talk twice
before but never was able to talk because the people before me took all
the time. (Typical Mexican ward ha). I talked about the 8th chapter from
the Teachings of President Joseph Fielding Smith, The Kingdom of God. I
finally fully realized what that last paragraph means from the
introduccion of the Book of Mormon. I have a testimony that we are truly
in God's Kingdom here on Earth. The Church is directed by Christ and all
of our leaders are called by our Loving Heavenly Father.
THE GOSPEL IS TRUE
