Hello Everyone!!

How are you all doing this week?! 

The MTC is still a blast.. I love it here!! I'm taking my time and enjoying every, little thing about it!! 

One little thing I want to leave for this week is this quote by our beloved Prophet, Thomas S. Monson.
It's to all Full-Time Missionaries around the world, but it can also be for Members as well! 

There are 3 things a missionary should do:
1. Prepare with Purpose
2. Teach with Testimony
3. Labor with Love

I know that if we do these things, we will be more fit to help the Lord, as He hastens His work.
I love you all. Hope you all have a great rest of your week!! 
I still don't know Spanish.. lol

Christ says, "Give me ALL. I don't want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want YOU. I have not come to torment your natural self, but to kill it. No half-measures are any good. I don't want to cut off a branch here and a branch there. I want the whole tree down... Hand over the whole natural self, all the desires which you think innocent as well as the ones you think wicked-- the whole outfit. I will give you a new self instead. In fact, I will give you Myself. My own will shall become yours." - C.S. Lewis (Mere Christianity, 167)

This past week in Personal Study, I was flipping through my old seminary scriptures and a little peice of paper fell out with this quote on it. I'm not sure where or who I got it from, but it has helped me to remember who I represent. I love this gospel and I'm thankful for Christ and His example. It's through Him, that we can overcome all things. From repenting of our own sins to forgiving others for theirs. Through Him we can lead, serve, bless, and lift. He is the Savior and Redeemer that lives and stand triumphant today! In His sacred name, Jesus Christ. Amen.

HOLA Family and Friends!!
How is everyone this week?!! The MTC is awesome!! One quick thing I want to share, is the analogy of the shovel.
We (as missionaries and members) are the shovel. 
The Lord is the worker. This is His work, because He's the one that is holding the shovel. 
It's NOT our work, because we are the shovel. 
So the only thing that we can do, is be the sharpest shovel or tool we can be, for Him to do HIS work.

Every member a missionary and every missionary a member. 

I'm so happy to be here in the MTC! I don't know any spanish yet.. But I'm having the time of my life! Lol. I love the Lord and I love His gospel. Hope you all have a great week! 

(sorry, no pictures.. this computer that I'm using is super old.. lol)
