Hey well the final P-day of
the mission has come around. We are in
zone 1 writing only for about half an hour.
This past week flew by, and it has just been an emotional
rollercoaster. Worked hard my last week
just trying to make the most of it. We
had to fly and run around to get everything worked out for the wedding on
Saturday, but it happened! My last week
in the mission and finished with a wedding and a baptism! It was GREAT!
They got married Saturday afternoon and Sunday right before church held
the baptismal service for JE. She is great
and it was a real struggle and stressful to lead up to the baptism, but it was
all worth it.
No one knew that I would be
going home this week because I didn't tell anyone, but everyone was happy. They found out after I went up in sacrament
meeting and bore my testimony. I feel
honored to have been able to train Elder S.
He is great and I know that they will be seeing many miracles and
baptisms continuing in Puerto Barrios.
Well the day has finally
come. 2 years has gone so fast. I feel like Jacob from the Book of Mormon in
saying that time has passed by like a dream.
I loved my time here in Guatemala.
I loved the experiences that I had and I loved all the things that I was
able to accomplish and for the lives that I could help the Lord and spirit
touch. There is a scripture that says El
que pone su mano al arado y mire para tras no es digno de mi reino (He who puts
his hand to the plow and look after is not worthy of my kingdom). The only thing that I have to do now is go
forth with faith and NEVER FORGET! Apply
all that I learned and never go back to the person I was before the mission. I love the Lord, I love the people of this
country, I love the Gospel, and I love the mission!
Antes de terminar, solo
quiero compartir mi testimonio con ustedes.
Yo se que nuestro Padre Celestial vive, y que nos ama. Yo se que Jesucristo vino al mundo para
salvarnos y murió y resucito el tercer día para ayudar personas imperfectas
como yo a regresar a la presencia del padre.
Yo les doy mi testimonio de que este evangelio cambia vidas! Me ha
cambiado y se que el autor de este plan tan maravilloso es un ser
perfecto. Yo se que Joseph Smith fue un
profeta de Dios, y que realmente restauro la iglesia de Jesucristo de nuevo
aquí en la tierra. Hoy en día tenemos un profeta viviente, Thomas S. Monson que
dirige esta iglesia verdadera. También se que El Libro de Mormon es la palabra
de Dios, y que "el hombre se acercaría mas a Dios al seguir sus preceptos
que cualquier otro libro.
Translation: Before
concluding, I just want to share my testimony with you . I know that our
Heavenly Father lives and loves us. I know that Jesus Christ came into the
world to save us and died and rose again the third day to help imperfect people
like me to return to the presence of the father. I give you my testimony that
the gospel changes lives! It has changed and that the author of this wonderful
plan is a perfect being. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and that
really restored church of Jesus Christ again on earth. Today we have a living
prophet, Thomas S. Monson that directs this true church. The Book of Mormon is
also the word of God, "the man would get nearer to God by abiding by its
precepts, than any other book.
