April 10, 2017~"Strive for Progress not Perfection"

Yes Conference was good and Alfredo and his wife are awesome and they will be baptized on the 23rd of this month!!!   We have a family home evening night with them hahah.  I have really learned a lot about a lot of things.  Something that I learned was that Christ didnt want to suffer and be crucified and be killed.... he asked God if there was a less painful way to do that but he did it anyways... because he loved God and loves us.  He suffered, bled and died for us.  He was the only person to do it and was perfect and it was hard for him and so for me it shows the love he has for us.   He wants us to be happy and return to him as well.  If it was hard for him than why would it be easy for us if we suffer even a little.... we ask why but,  Christ never asked why...He did it because it was what God wants and thats what we should do.  If life is hard look for the good out of it. venga lo que venga disfrutelo. ..whatever comes and enjoy it. 

So this week was a good week.  We had a zone meeting and well it was super fun to talk about being a reperesentative of Jesus Christ.  It was fun to talk about how our mission is "sion" cause mission in spanish is misión and that means mi sion or my zion and so it was fun to talk about how we are in Zion in Mexico City and its our zion and how we should enjoy the time we have here and help others come unto Christ as well and come closer to God and be a better representative of him everyday.   Also we found a family that is awesome.  So the parents names are Ivan and Mildret and the Elders before us were teaching them and stopped because they left but we found them and are teaching them.   They are very excited to go back to church and be members.  We are teaching Alfredo and his wife and a guy named Ricardo who wants to be baptized so we are helping him not to smoke and also Alma and Monica.  Alma is the mom and Monica is the daughter.  Her sister is a member and her Mom lost her sight so we have been teaching them and they accepted baptism so we are working with them.  We could have a lot of baptisms this change.   We had 5 of them come to church and they were very happy and so it made us excited and the other two that didn't go Ivan and Mildret... didn't go because they had their family in town that they haven't seen in a while.  We are working really hard... my legs hurt after the day haha  and I have knots in my shoulders from my backpack but its good because I see the blessings from the people that we have :)

Well that was this week.  I hope that you have a good week and win some ballgames.  I Love You!!!
