Light

Hey guys,

I haven´t sent an email in a good while. I´ll be honest, Things have been real tough here.

I have come to learn a lot about myself these past few weeks and the love my Heavenly Father has for me. And that I really have a purpose here and that my Heavenly Father has a plan for me and is molding me in to the person he wants me to become.

These past few weeks, I was pretty distraught and overwhelmed. I felt like what I was doing here wasn´t amounting to anything. I felt like the advesary really had a grip on me, to make me think that I wasn´t worthy to be on a mission, or whatever I do I was not making a difference in this area.

 I was pretty discouraged and thought that I wasn´t supposed to be here or that I wasn´t worthy to be here for things that I did that I HAD ALREADY FIXED and REPENTED of. I was pretty discouraged that I thought going home would be the best option.

I talked to President Orquera about how I felt and what I was going through and he said I am worthy to be here and that you are working hard and doing what you need to do. He also said that I can overcome the trials that are in front of me and become the great missionary and man I want to be. I am thankful I have a great president.

General Conference really helped me out. I felt like the Saturday Sessions were messages tailor made for me and my situation. It gave me hope and gave me the strength and motivation I needed.

I love the quotes from Dieter F. Uchtdorf in the Priesthood Session of General Conference

We can heal spiritually. …

Whatever causes our spiritual ailments, they all have one thing in common: the absence of divine light.

Darkness reduces our ability to see clearly. …

Light, on the other hand, allows us to see things as they really are. …

Darkness is not an indication that there is no light. Most often, it simply means we are not in the right place to receive the light. …

It is up to us to be in the right place to see and feel the divine light and truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Even when night has fallen and the world seems dark, we can choose to walk in Christ’s light, keep His commandments, and courageously testify of His reality and His greatness.

As a bearer of God’s priesthood and as a disciple of Jesus Christ, you are a bearer of light. Keep doing the things that will nurture His divine light. …

My dear brothers, you are instruments in the hands of the Lord with the purpose of bringing light and healing to the souls of Heavenly Father’s children. …

Christ’s light brings hope, happiness, and healing of any spiritual wound or ailment. …

It hit me hard. We all need light in our lives. We all need to stay in the light. Darkness obscures our path. Christ´s light can heal us from spiritual wounds or ailments. It can give us hope when we are discouraged. Choose to walk in the light.

I am here. I am a missionary. I am a servant of the Lord. I will beat my obstacles with him on my side. I know why I need to be here. I am thankful that I have a loving Father in Heaven who knows my needs and understands me. I felt his love . I know he listens. I know he is there for me and all who needs of him.

Transfers are this week. I am not sure what Is going to happen. I feel that I am leaving. A lot of people have been speculating that I will be called as a Zone Leader but we will see. That kind of thing doesn´t matter. I just want to serve the Lord, doesn´t matter the place.

I am thankful for the opportunity to have trained Elder Gueller. He is one of my really good friends. We have gotten along great and we have done a lot of work here. I will miss him and I am happy to see his progress. I have learned a lot from him.

I am thankful to have been made district leader to all these awesome sisters. They have helped me out so much and I feel that they are great friends to me. Our district has been a team and we have all helped one another out and raised eachother up when we feel a bit low.

I will miss this district. I will miss Elder Gueller. I will miss Monterrico.

Thank you all for you prayers and I love you guys. 

The Grind Continues.
