Buenas mi familia y amigos! So this week´s been good, but I´m doing something a little different. I haven´t written in Spanish for a while, but I happened to give my first talk in Church since I´ve been here. This is the meat of the talk. I hope you enjoy!


Moroni 7. 45-46 
(Hablo sobre esta escritura) Me encanta esta rama y la caridad, amor y servicio que yo veo cada día de ustedes. Tenemos muchas miembros fuerte aquí. Muchas miembros con testimonios grandes y miembros que viven en una manera que otras pueden ver un luz de ustedes. Como miembros tenemos la responsabilidad y privilegio compartir esta luz y esta felicidad con las demás.

Cada una de nosotros podemos hacer la obra misional cada día en una manera que es muy fácil. No necesitamos predicar en cada momentos con nuestras palabras, pero predicamos en cada momento mediante nuestras ejemplos y acciones.

Doctrina y Convenios 121. 45
(Hablo sobre esta escritura) El acostumbre actuar con caridad impensa con nuestros pensamientos. Nuestras pensamientos necesitan ser limpio con virtud. Si tenemos pensamientos buenos vamos a ser listos para actuar con caridad en cada momento. Nosotros nunca sabemos cuando vamos a tener la oportunidad actuar con caridad por otros. Con virtud y confianza en Dios en nuestros corazones y mentes, vamos ser listos para actuar como nuestro ejemplo perfecto Jesucristo en cada tiempo, en cada lugares.

Moroni 7.47 
(Hablo sobro esta escritura) Los acciones pequeño pueden tener los consecuencias el mas grande. Yo espero que las personas de Vicente Noble y Tamayo sepan de los Santo de los Últimos Días son personas buenas que actúan como crean en una forma semejante de Cristo. Y mediante nuestros caridad el mundo va a saber que La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días es en actualidad y verdaderamente una Iglesia de Cristo. 

I hope you enjoy the pictures as well! 

We have a baptism this Friday, I´ll be excited to share more about it next week!

And of course, 

¨We can so live that we can call upon the Lord for His protection and guidance. This is a first priority. We cannot expect His help if we are unwilling to keep His commandments... I have faith.. that the Lord will bless us and watch over us and assist us if we walk in obedience to His light, His gospel, and His commandments.¨ -Gordan B. Hinkley.

Aug 19, 2013


So, I´m sitting in an internet cafe listen to the Dominican owner singing Maroon 5 at the top of his lungs. This is my life and I love it!
Things are great. My companion and I are SUPER busy. Not specific happened, but we´re just working with a lot of people.
I have so much I want to say, but so little time!
Rosie got baptized! YAHOOOO!!!! She´s so awesome and so happy! Her friend, Ashley who´s also planning to get baptized by the end of this month came to the baptism as well.
Juan Carlos came to the baptism too, and also brought 2 friends to church and now we´re teaching them too. The youth here are so awesome and are so supportive of eachother and share the good things that they´re doing. Juan Carlos is super animated about his baptism and wants us to come over to his house everyday to teach him, but we have to tell him we can´t go EVERY day, but we try to as much as we can. We also gave his mother a Book of Mormon this week and she was so happy to recieve it and is now reading it with her husband. We´ll see how they keep progressing... She´s only come to church once, but she loves to have us over and we also have great and very interactive lessons with them.
Also, we ran into a HUGE group of Americans this week very close to our house at an icecream shop. They´re here for a humanitarian type work. They were super nice and we chatted for a bit. It was awesome to speak with them and meet them. They´re all from the East Coast. Also, it made me chuckle because they seemed sooo American. I didn´t realize how different we were, until we saw the first Americans we´ve seen in a long time and just realized that somehow Americans and Dominicans are just different! Hard to explain, but it made me realize I must have been here for a while.
Well sorry I´m out of time! I´m also sorry my words are always so jumbled in my emails- I write REALLY quick. I´ll end with a quotation for this week,

¨In an extremely challenging world, this is what I see young women and women of the Chruch doing. They are an influence for good. They are virtuous and exemplary, intelligent and industrious. They are making a difference because they are different.¨ -President Elaine S. Dalton
Things are great and I hope they´re great back home! Remember, missionaries love mail!
Make good choices!
