Feliz Navidad

dearest friends, family, and all the rest of you who snuck onto my email list (just kidding i hand select each and every one of you each week)

this week i would like to forgo the usual lightheared story telling i usually start with and instead jump straight to the story from this week that talks about the savior, and missionary work.

a couple days ago we had a zone activity. it was in the morning of a friday... any ways we went to this bakery and were going to make cookies and then the next day we were going to hand them out to some of our investigators.

i was feeling kinda grumpy, because instead of weekly planning we were doing something that would postpone weekly planning and cut in to our time spent out in the streets. i kinda wongly feel like any time i dont spend talking to people and teaching or contacting is a waste of time. so i was kinda grumpy

so we were sitting thyere and there were 20 of us in total. so 14 of us we just standing there watching. so i really felt like i was just wasting my time. but i took a step back and thought about why i am here. and i am here to help others come unto christ. and i realized that if i was grumpy no body would want to talk to me or interact with me, and then i couldnt be the example of the savior that i wanted to be.

so i folded my arms right there and asked for help. as soon as i ended my prayer i got up and started trying to be happy and trying to help. i can honestly say that it worked. i was able to help wih the cookies and we also helped our zone leaders move and i was happy.

this week i just wanted to let you all know that prayer works. there have been other times in my life when as soon as i asked for help i recieved it. whether that help was spiritual, mental, or physical. and i promise. i gaurantee. that it will work for you too.

no matter your problem, big, small, medium sized. your father in heaven wants to help you. 

and that is exactly why 2018 years ago he sent us our savior. he didnt come in the way you would expect. there was no chariots of fire or algo como asi (anything like that). there was a baby. just like how every other person enters this world.

but this one was different. he changed the history of the world. because of him we can forgive and be forgiven. we can overcome anything. any sin, disability, error, infermedy, injury, sickness, sadness, guilt, shame, every single thing in this world that is not perfect.

have a very merry christmas
