Mision Mexico Pachuca
"The restored gospel enables you to become like Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. The Savior has shown the way. He has set the perfect example and He commands us to become as He is. Learn of Him and seek to incorporate His attributes into your life. Through the power of His Atonement, you can achieve this goal and lead others to achieve it also."
-PMG Pg 115
Rain won't slow us down!

"This is Jose. He is a 20 year old who loves the
Gospel... He was super nervous for his baptism, so we made him signs for his
favorite saying... NO PASA NADA!!!
There is also a picture of his mom who we are
also teaching... She was able to come to the baptism and really loved it.
She said that she could tell that we love her son and she felt completely
different in the church..."
Querido Presidente,
Wow, todavía no puedo creer que ya pasó la semana. Fue,
la verdad, una de las mejores semanas de mi misión. Entrando en la semana, yo
sabía que teníamos la posibilidad de tener a muchas personas en la casa de
oración. Yo estaba orando fervientemente toda la semana, y poniendo de mi parte
también, y vimos milagros el Domingo. Al empezar los servicios, solo tuvimos
tres personas en la capilla, lo cual me desanimó bien poquito. Pero al empezar
los anuncios, otros 4 entraron, y durante el primer himno, los otros 5. No pude
contener mi felicidad durante los servicios. Sentí que Dios realmente contesta
oraciones en una forma muy personal. Al pensar en la asistencia, nos dimos
cuenta de que más que la cuarta parte de la asistencia el domingo fueron
investigadores. Fue muy muy genial eso, y estuve muy muy feliz....Estamos muy
animados por nuestros bautismos planeados en esta semana, y estamos haciendo
todo para que se hagan bien. Todos en la rama también está bien animados.
Gracias por todo presidente.

"This is Mariana. She
was just baptized by her husband, Jeffery. She was super excited about her
baptism as well as beginning a new journey with her husband. They are also
expecting a little one in June so they are excited that they will begin this
journey with their family and in one year can be sealed together."

.....during the week when I was with Sister C. We found a
new investigator. Was more or less 8 pm and I felt the impression to knock a
door, and a girl opened the door (Alma 22 years), She was cleaning her house
and we give a harvesting blessing and after we started making questions and How begin
teaching. And I felt the inspiration to make a question but I was a weird
question. I asked: Desde hace 3 meses cual es el pensamiento que usted ha
tenido antes de poder dormir??, And she said my brother died 3 years a ago and
I cant sleep because I think of him, next to this she told us how her brother
died and told us about her feelings. We could know her needs and her heart.
Hacer preguntas inspiradas es important to know the insvestigators and know
that teach!!.....

Presidente,
.....Estoy muy contento con lo que ha pasado esta semana.
Pudimos tener 5 personas en la capilla y todos van muy bien en su proceso como
investigadores. si todo va perfecto, vamos a tener 4 bautismos el 2 de mayo!!!
Estoy muy agradecido que el señor nos guió a las personas que nos
necesitaban.
Esta semana nos hemos enfocado mucho en "la
pregunta" y siempre hablando del bautismo y la capilla en cada lección. Es
maravillosa la diferencia que estos principios básicos hacen! Estamos
encontrando mas y también vemos que personas que no estaban progresando bien ya
han encontrado su visión del bautismo otra vez. Gracias por ayudarnos comprender
y dominar esos principios.
La verdad, me encanta la misión. Me encanta ver los
cambios que el evangelio restaurado puede hacer. Sé sin ninguna duda que las
personas me necesitan. No solo un parte de mi, sino todo de lo que puedo
dar.....
Gracias presidente,
-Elder E

Good Afternoon President!
This week passed by very fast, but thaks to God we worked
very hard.
After the interview, with you, I felt and understood why
we have to commit our investigadors, I was very happy for all things, that we
talked about.
You gave me more motivation to keep working in this
beautiful work. That day we had an appointment in Xochitlan. we contacted a new
investigador named Alicia. She is good, we contacted her in the street and the
firts time we taught her, was that night. It was a very special moment. We did
Harvesting Blessings, and then we started to talk with her about the Gospel.
When she met Us, she said: I feel something very spacial
with you since the first time I saw you.
When we spoke and taught, I felt something special in my
heart, something that told me invite her to be bautised, and come to church.
Wooooow when I felt that, I was full of emotion, and I did it inmediately. To
my supprise she accepted both and commited and said: Yes, I know that this is
true. Im going to do that I feel it now, in this moment I felt that was
something special for us.
That was the best lesson of the whole week, Reina is her
friend, she was there and she accepted too. That nigth we returned very happy
and Grateful with our Heanvely Father, because we had two new basptismal dates,
and two new investigadors. The most important part, is that our Heanvely Father
prepared her heart to listen and undesrtand.
It is Wonderful to know that and feel it too, when we
allow the Holy Ghost to guide our lessons and us, the results are amazing.
I know that is is through our obedience of the little and
simple things, we can see big miracles in our lives. Im continuing to learn my
area. sometimes is difficult, but Im going to learn. We are continuing to
progress, and I feel that my cmpanion need more iniciative, to do something .
that as companios we are going to put all our effort in, so we can Be Better.
My sister is serve a mision too is aldo very
motivating, Every monday we talk about our amazing Experiences. It is something
very special. We are goint to have 7 months in the mission, and we have seen
manymiracles.
Thank you, For the Motivation to continue in the work.
With Love

"I love my companion!"
Well we were headed to the zoo for P-Day but ended up driving around for 1 1/2 hrs and when we finally did find the location it was CLOSED!
An Adventure Anyways...
Making a little Pizza with some members!
My bike has a flat tire- so I was thinking this would totally work!
Do I dare ask what this district is up to?!
The people of Mexico are so kind and so generous to our missionaries!
I love it when our missionaries "problem solve"- They needed to get on the other side of this water in a timely manner for a lesson and so they found two plastic bags - jumped inside them- and got through the small river!
Great job Elder Smith and Elder Ruiz
If we open our mouths and share our message we are always blessed for our faith in moving this work forward... it may not be immediate but we know it is worth our efforts!
Dear President Egbert,
This week has been very good, and we have been working
very hard.....We have been striving to speak all Spanish outside out of the
house, and I have already seen how much it has helped. In reality I fell very good
with my Spanish so far. When I speak I do not have to translate in my head, nor do I need to translate to understand others. I am able to sometimes even take
the lead in some lessons. I can surely testify of the gift of tongues, all I
need is to extend my vocabulary, and work on past tense conjugations. This
Sunday was very good, we had 14 investigators attend church, some old, some we
have been working with, and some new ones as well. This week we were also able
to reach a good number of lessons, and many of them were very spiritual. I have
learned so much even in my very short time on the mission, and I have the Lord
to thank for these experiences.
