FELIZ PASCUA!

I was reading a talk the other day and I´d like to start out by quoting it. Elder Stephen Oveson,

¨´A story has been told aobut a chicken and a pig who found themselves discussing their contributions to the farmers breakfast table. The hen bemoaned having to donate her eggs for breakfast.  The pig replied ÿes but for you its just a small a sacrifice for me it is a total commitment.¨¨

Obivious there is a lot that can be learned from this parable and since it is pascua its even more appropriate, dont you think so? Yah it is not spring here, which makes everything feel slightly off normal but we close our eyes and pretend.  Maybe leaves are falling but to my left I see baby sheep and to my right freshly hatched chicks.  But be careful to not smell to closely, witch all the animals its definitely not freshly bloomed temple square roses your smelling.  With this story first we can ask ourselfs ¨¨am I an occasional egg giving type person toward the building of the kingdom or am I categorized in giving my ¨¨my heart might mind and strength¨¨ a FULL conseration. Now apply this to what you wish in life, tithing, church callings, the atonement, and well yes MISSIONARY WORK.  we need to stop living under our potential, we are just satisfied to easily with the ¨¨easy¨¨ way of things when really we can be so much more. you may have to sacrifice more time and effort but once you find the golden egg (my bet is that bubbus found it... like always!) its worth it and your left with more than just some temporarly sugar.  We are here on earth to learn, grow, and prepare for a celestial living.  If we think its a cake walk to eternal life we are going to be sorely disappointed once we arrive at those pearl gates.  ¨¨He who is not able to abide the law of a celestial kingdom cannot abide a celestial glory.¨¨  So get going, your slacking behind and this is the fourth quarter, home stretch, and We are the A team! The shot clock is running out and we all want to stand before our Father in Heaven one day and receive a beso and a ¨¨welcome home, I am so proud of you.¨¨  So GET PUMPED!  And dont worry once your working hard and showing that your serious with obedience and Faith, you are worthy to recieve the most wonderful surprises and blessings.  

the pure love of christ

Hola and BUEN DIA!

Well I am just stoked to open up my email today because last week my emails didnt print... therefore it has been two weeks since I got to read of zion and I am just super oober anxious. the life of a missionary eh?  and just to clear things up you can send mem letters. packages no, but letters are still great!  (so no excuses...)

This past week was transfer week and we lucky dogs since we are so far out here we get the special treat of knowing the day before the whole mission. I wasnt nervous until the phone does the vibrating dance and after its nothing but twinching motions. But never fear when they announced that we are SAFE! my comp and I were so flippin excited the photo went flying for a beso and a hug!  the rest is history... the first week is up and I will be honest it started out bitter but ended sweet.  Here in 25 de mayo I have learned a lot, I think that if I were to pick a part in my mission where I really learned to give myself to the work it would be here. I think a big part of it is that when you put to ¨babies¨ together they learn to lean off eachother for support. And in the process we have become the quite the dueling double and the best of friends.  There isnt a day we dont put back our heads and laugh and there isnt a day that we regret. Disappointments and failures si, and there are days when we find ourselves kneeing pleading for forgiveness because we could have done more, but I feel as though I have grown more in these past three transfers than in my whole life. and I can actually feel myself becoming the person I have set out to be. I still have the himilayas to climb obvio but hey the best thing about the hike, is the view from the top!  

General conference weekend

Well General conference week, The week that you look forward to for six months and than flys by within a second. Unlike in seattle washington where we were required to watch it was just slightly different here. For this conference its appropriate to say that I sacrifised this years confrernece for the cause, but since the cause is vale la pena aka worth it,  I was ok with it. Haha in other words I didnt have the privilege of watching the eight hours of inspiration. You see saturday mornign we were out searching for our investigators taht promised they were coiming and that rain convinced them otherwise, in the afternoon with more heavy rain fall we were visting the same peopel... haha sunday was better as we had people for the session but being as we had a ton of kids going wild I took upon me the obligation and magnified my calling as primary teacher and entertained the hoodums for the hours so their parerents )our investigators( could be spiritually inspired and recognize the spirit.  I crossed my fingures really hard that you all sent me great snib bits of the event so I can catch up and I am reaaally looking forward to the ensign this upcoming month!  Overall it was quite the hectic event, I realized that a three hour block just on sunday is the way to go! haha It was slightly strange to be watching conference at 5 oclock in the evening here when its only 2 there... time changes are weird! GET UP, Its already 10 in the morning!!

speakingn of conference, Elder Zivic of the 70 is the father-grandpa of a my haedo ward.  yUp his family pretty much makes up the whole ward.  Hermana vicente and I were their when when his grandson was baptized. in other words it was so great to hear that our country was represented in the conference!  His son, served in slc and would always talk english with me.  anyways I love this family and if you look up the spanish traslation its obviously his voice which is the argentina accent!!! in other words you can spend some time in my world while listening!  GO ARGENTINA!!  where we speak beautifully!
