OOH! so we had a
mission activity this passed Saturday at the Church. We invited our
investigators and a lot of less actives but...yeah only members came so it was
more like a ward party haha. But it was still really fun. Hermana Lara and I
made book marks that had the infinity sign on one side and the words "Por
toda la eternidad" and then on the other side was a scripture in Matthew
16:18-19 that talks about what so ever is sealed here on the earth is also
sealed in the Heavens and we wrote "Las familias pueden ser eternas"
underneath the scripture. We passed these out in the beginning of the activity
because we started out with a little message about eternal families and then we
broke out for the activities which were: basketball and soccer (which sadly we
couldn`t play because we are missionaries and it wasn`t monday...) and juegos
del mesa! Which we could play :) (board games). We played chutes and ladders
and chinese checkers and uno :) after we all ate fruit outside and everyone
seemed to have a great time so that`s good :) It was a great activity :) I got
a really great picture of Hna Marce...haha I laughed SO hard!!! I was crying!
:) I`m going to send some pics from the activity but...be warned...I am really
chubby and it makes me so sad! My face is all nice and chubby so that`s really
awesome ;) But whatever, I have been called to a mission with like the best
food in Mexico and you do not bajar de peso aqui...only if you get sick from
the food or you are a missionary with really good genes... Well anyway, it was
a great activity and we had a pretty good turn out, even if they were all
members :)
Oh haha I have
something else to tell you all....So one day I was starving and we have no food
in the house. But we live right in front of like a "center" were
there are basketball courts and stuff (it`s right in front of the catholic
church) and people set up their little stand things and sell stuff. Well, this
day, there was a lady and she was selling some taquitos and so we went over and
asked what was in them and how much they were. I didn`t understand what she
said they were made of and my comp didn`t say anything so I thought, alright
cool, it isn`t anything gross. And I bought two little taquitos. And I ate
them. They tasted a tiny bit burned but nothing else was wrong with them and
yeah I ate em. Well, later on in the evening, Hermana Lara says to me, "Oh
yeah Hermana, I forgot to tell you what was in hose taquitos. It was
cesos" To which I replied "Que es eso" (insert question mark)
"Cerebrum de vaca." ...That`s right. I ate cow brain! haha whooo! Que
rico no (mark) it was pretty funny haha :)
Well anyway, I am now
going to close because I am running out of time. Here is my mensaje espiritual
en "spanglish" ;)
Here it goes...my
spanglish... :)
Hoy en la mañana yo
estaba leyendo en la nueva testamento en Mateo y no me acuerdo exactamente
estuvo pero creo que es algo como capitulo 8 y 9... pero bueno no importa. La
importante es que yo leí sobre algunos de los milagros que hizo Jesucristo y
siempre hay una pattern. El siempre dijo que "según su fe, se sano".
Siempre siempre. Y en estas momentos en la mañana I was hit by la poder de esta
cosa. La fe es tan importante y bien poderoso que puede sanar los enfermos y
the deaf and the blind. It can raise people from the dead and heal a woman of
an enfermedad de sangre solo por tocando la ropa de Cristo en fe. Que
maravillosa!
Tambien me encanta la
parte con la...pues no me acuerdo como se llama pero un hombre approached Jesus
and told him that his servant was ill and asked if Christ could heal him. Of
course the Savior said yes but the response of the man was incredible. He said
that he was unworthy to have the Lord Jesus Christ enter his home and that if
the Savior would just say that his servant would be healed that that would be
sufficient and the servant would no longer be ill. It says in the scriptures that
Jesus marvelled. He marvelled! I was blown away by that line because in my mind
the Savior doesn`t marvel at things because he is perfect and already knows the
will of God and can perform miracles and all that so when I read that the
Savior marvelled at the faith of this man I was blown away. The savior said
that he hadn`t seen faith like this in all of Jerusalem (I think it was
Jerusalem). Anyway, when I read that it hit me that faith is so strong and so
powerful and that I really need to pray and ask for more faith...on a daily
basis.... The Savior told the man that it would be done even as he had said
because of his faith. And his servant was healed within that very hour. It´s
incredible!
De esta hora de
estudios yo tuve en la mañana yo aprendí que milagros no produce la fe, pero la
gran fe produce los milagros. Como representantes de Jesucristo, es muy
importante que siempre tenemos fe, gran fe, la fe a hacer milagros en el nombre
de Jesucristo, la fe a cambiar vidas y invitar otros a venir a Cristo y ser
perfectos en él. La fe es algo muy sencillo y difícil en la mismo momento pero
es muy importante porque es la primer principio del Evangelio de Jesucristo. Se
que la fe es poder. Se que sin fe no tenemos nada y no vamos a recibir
bendiciones ni ver milagros en nuestra vida. Estoy muy agradecida por la
oportunidad tengo a orar y pedir por más fe porque no estoy perfecta y tengo
mis dudas y faltas pero Jesucristo puede ayudarme a tener la fe suficiente a
hacer milagros en su nombre como su representante por la próximo 13 meces. Esta
llamamiento que tenemos es muy hermoso y tan importante. Nunca vamos a tener
esta mismo oportunidad ni experiencias y yo creo que nunca vamos a crecer más
cerca de nuestro Padre Celestial en nuestra vida de en estas momentos aquí en
la misión.
Se que no es facil
pero es totally worth it! Nothing worth having is ever easy and salvation never
was easy, as President Holland once said.
Solo quiero
compartirles una escritura que me gusta mucho y que me ayuda mucho. Esta en
Isaías 48:10 y dice, "He aquí te he purificado, y no como a plata; te he
escogido en el horno de la aflicción."
Se que esto es verdad
y muy importante a recordar porque Dios tiene un plan más grande para nosotros
que podemos ver en cualquier momento y aveces pasamos pruebas muy fuertes y no
entendimos porque pero él esta purificando nos en el horno de aflicción para
que podemos ser como él quiere y podemos ser más fuertes en el futuro.
I love you all and
hope your thanksgiving was fantastic and that you all got really fat off of
delicious food! Hope you have a great week and prepare for Christmas with your
mind and hearts centered on the true meaning (as cliche as that sounds...) You
all are amazing and I keep you in my heart and in my prayers!
Love always,
Hermana Walker :)
