Dear President,
I cant believe how fast the time goes! I am loving it
here in Mexico!
So we had some great lessons this week! I think the
lesson that stuck out to me the most this week was one that we were having with
a less active family in our ward. La Familia Suarez.. We are trying to practice
the new rule that we need to teach all the members lesson one and have them
practice teaching it to us and challenge them to share it with someone. So we
were doing that with the mom of this family and we said the closing prayer,
specially asking for inspiration of who she could share it with and right after
the prayer she said she wanted to go right then and share the message! Well, we
werent going to stop her, so we went with her and had a great lesson with one
of her friends! It was so great to see how the spirit can inspire people to action
and to have the desire to share the things they love and know to be true!
Also, conference weekend! I know that i had so many of my
questions answered during this conference. I know God helped me understand the
talks through the gift of tongues. I know that God answers prayers. Im so
grateful for this gospel in my life and i know every part of it is true!Thank you for all you do!

Loving us some General Conference

Dear President Egbert:
First of all i want recognize your spiritual revelation
for us and our investigators , while hearing the messages of the General
Conference I figured out how you're an inspired servant of God, we learned the
importance of the Sacraments and how to be good disciples of Jesus Christ.
I know that every one of us always can be better, i love
how the answers of our questions come with the words of the Prophet.
Yesterday one man of a taxi told us " Sisters , who
are you really? Do you put on a mask of friendliness to be a missionary? or is
that who you really are?.
To be honest i had never thought about it, but that man
made me think so much things.
Who Am I when president is not here? Who Am I in my
thoughts? Am I a real disciple of Jesus Christ? Do I have this attributes?,
This week was great! but i know that it could be better.
President I prayed to have this feelings, and this
attributes to be "REAL". Even when i know that nobody's perfect i
know that i can be better, i have this words in my mind " I love you, you
are my daugther all this things are for your experience".
President I'm sure that if we believe who we are we will
give more for this work, and if we truly are this disciples people will see on
us more than a missionary, more than a pretty lady , they will see the Savior's
face.
I'm so greatful for the personal revelation because i can
feel the power of the Atonement and the desires of a loving Heavenly Father who
is caring of me , I know that we knows me and Hears me , I'm so greatful for
the challenges and for the pure love that i can feel for the people.
President this is the work of the Lord i know that, so He
deserves more of me.
With Love, Hna. C (native Spanish Speaker)

hola presidente!
otra semana mas y se aproximan los cambios estoy muy
feliz por estar aqui he visto grandes cambios en las personas esta semana que
paso fuimos a visitar a una familia que son miembros y la niña es converso
reciente y el unico que no es miembro es su papa, ese dia en la noche que
fuimos ya habiamos pasado temprano a verlos pero no estaban entonses visitamos
a otra familia y ya íbamos de regreso a casa cuando vi que en su casa ya habia
luz y senti que deberiamos ir asi que le dije a mi compañera vamos a verlos y
despues nos vamos a casa, vimos a toda la familia reunida junto estaba su papa
cuando empezamos a enseñar el no se fue de ahi, para esto dejeme decirle como
era el con los elderes anteriores : se escondia para no verlos, con tal de no
saludarlos no llegaba a casa se quedaba esquinas atras, tambien si el estaba en
casa y los misioneros llegaban el se brincaba la ventana de su cuarto para
poder salir de ella y no tener que saludarles.
realmente el fue un cambio total apartir de que su hija
se bautizo algo cambio en el, no habiamos tenido oportunidad de enseñarle antes
pero siempre su familia nos hablaba de el ellos quieren sellarse en el templo
pero para esto el tiene que ser miembro asi que nosotras les pusimos metas como
familia las oraciones familiares, la lectura en familia y las noches de hogar,
y prometimos que todas estas cosas harían que su papa ablandara su corazon.
esa noche que llegamos a platicar y enseñar el estuvo ahi
atento escuchando del plan de salvacion y participando, preguntamos que sentia
y que pensaba al respecto el dijo tienen razon ahora puedo entender mejor no
todo pero entiendo el proposito de mi vida, esas palabras llegaron a mi corazon
por que se que el señor habia visto el amor de sus hijos hacia el y el deseo
sincero de sus corazones, no dudamos en lo que sentiamos e hicimos la pregunta
¿seguira el ejemplo de jesucristo, y sera bautizado por alguien que posea la
debida autoridad de dios? el dijo SI! en ese momento sentimos todos el espiritu
sus hijos asombrados por su respuesta entonses nosotras dijimos ¿que le parece
el 1 de noviembre? nosotras le ayudaremos a que este preparado el dijo SI! me
preparare.
esa experiencia realmente me hizo sentir muy especial
pude ver oraciones contestadas y una familia camino hacia la exhaltacion.
presidente gracias por ayudarnos por enseñarnos la mejor
manera de enseñar a los miembros gracias por esos maravillosso consejos que me
da me esfuerzo siempre por ponerlos en practica gracias.
mi relacion con mi compañera va muy bien ambas hemos
mejorado mucho nuestra comunicacion y tambien tenemos muchas metas que nos
esforzamos por cumplir se sin ninguna duda que el señor queria que fuera ella
no solo por que yo podia enseñarle algunas cosas mas de la mision o terminar su
entrenamiento sino por que el señor sabia que ella podia ser mas que mi ayuda y
mi compañera...... mi amiga y mi hermana.
le amo presidente y esta semana tuve algunos desafios de
salud pero estoy mejor hoy :) , gracias.

saludeme a su esposa les amo mucho a ambos con amor :)

"Yep, we ate them- they were fried with chili and lime. It was crunchy and not too bad; but I won't be eating another!"
-Hermana Boone-
This has been the cycle of "Special changes!"
These Elders are troopers once again as we retrieve Elder Ortega from this trio and he is moving to another area for 4 days until mission wide transfers. We are so grateful for their ability to "go with the flow" !
Just 'chillin' on the couch waiting in the office for our companions to come back from the VISA office...
We are so grateful for good members of the wards that help our missionaries daily. This good brother spent the best part of his day driving these two missionaries to the mission office for a final English Exam for Elder Smith. They live along ways out- so it was a big deal and greatly appreciated!
President shining up his shoes...
Conference time allows us to recommit to "do a little better than we have done in the past".
Mision Mexico Pachuca is up for the challenge-
Sister Egbert "diverted" to McDonalds for a little treat to celebrate Final English Exams by Elder Cordova and Elder Ordonez... and then onto the bus station to head back to their perspective areas!
(shhh don't tell President)
