Vengan y Vean (Week 58)

Elder Passeri and Elder Herman

      Well this week was good. Had an intercambio with Elder Sullivan from Brighton, he is awesome. Also, I went to Mexico City to renew my passport. The city is so cool and big I like it a lot! Haha. We saw a building fall, it was crazy! There was dust everywhere. But they were tearing down the building anyway, but there was an accident and it wasn’t planned. We have been inviting everyone to baptism and it has been so awesome! It’s crazy how people accept it in the first lesson. I love it.

Spiritual Thought Of The Week

      This week I gave a talk in church and I talked about missionary work! I used a talk called "Come and See" by Elder Bednar. I like it a lot! It starts with a question. Why are the latter-day saints so anxious to talk about what they believe in and invite me to know more about their Church? Well, the Church of Jesus Christ has always been a missionary church and it always will be! Our desire to share the restored gospel of Jesus Christ shows how important these truths are for us. How important is the gospel in our lives? How are we showing it? The gospel has helped me in my life so much, so naturally I want to share it. It’s like when we find a new really good restaurant and we want to invite all our friends to go eat there, or when we find a new interesting fact and we want to share it with others. In the restored gospel of Jesus Christ we have found happiness, peace, and comfort. If we have really gained a testimony of these things we naturally will have a desire to share it with others. We are so anxious to share the gospel because we know and are convinced that this is the only true Church of Jesus Christ here on the earth and it has helped us so many times. I love you all and I also love being a missionary J Tengan una buena semana compartiendo el evangelio!  (Have a good week sharing the gospel!)

Templooo Wahooo (Week 57)

Elder Passeri, Elder Drake, Elder Wegner, and Elder Herman
at the Mexico City Temple.

      This week we went to the temple! Wahooo I love the temple so much! It was the first time in one whole year that I could finish an ordinance in the temple, cause last time there was an earthquake, ha. Oh ya, and also felt another earthquake this Friday. Its weird how the temple and earthquakes have always been together in my mission...One of the best things of the week was that a family introduced us to some new investigators! One of them is the brother of the wife, named Dylan, and the other is a teenager that is living with them, named Valeria. It was a good lesson and they both accepted baptismal dates and then both went to church! So that was great! We have a lot of faith in them! 

Spiritual Thought Of The Week

      Man I LOVE the temple! Honestly, if I didn’t have the temple in my life, I don’t know where I would be. The temple has been such an important place in my life. Every time I go I feel so much peace and comfort. It is a refuge from the world. We can literally enter the house of the Lord, how cool is that! It is a place important for us, but also for people who have already passed through this life and didn’t make the covenants in the temple. We can help others make covenants with God and enter into the kingdom, His kingdom. I hope you all can take advantage of having so many temples near by and enter into His house! I remember I went every Monday during baseball season and that is when I obtained my biggest testimony! I love you all so much and hope you have a great week full of the temple!

Great Week, New Nephew (Week 56)

Elder Passeri and Elder Herman

      This week has been awesome. We have had some crazy things happen. First off we were at the church Friday cause we were going to have a lesson there and a man came up to us and said “Do I talk to you guys to be baptized?” Haha. He was an old investigator and we were actually looking for him, but never found him, so that was cool. Then at church a lady showed up by herself cause she wants to find the truth, wow, perfect. Then we were walking and this girl stopped us and asked for a Book of Mormon, haha. The Lord is working here in Tultepec! Me and Elder Passeri are having a lot of fun and have had some really great lessons. We are still getting to know everyone, and at church a lot of part members were there, and a bunch of people that aren’t baptized, so we will have our hands full. Also, in the Zone, we almost completed all of our goals! So that is awesome, we have already seen a great improvement. Also my sister had another baby! Now I’m an uncle of 4!

Spiritual Thought Of The Week

      Man how grateful am I to know I have a loving Heavenly Father. To know that He has a perfect plan for me and has given me everything I need to be happy and progress. He sent His son to die for us and to teach us by example. He is the source of all healing, peace, and eternal progress. Through Jesus Christ we can progress more than we could ever by ourselves. He is always inviting us to come unto unto Him, and President Eyring says that it is the most important invitation that anyone could ever accept. He can heal us and help us with everything, but He will not enter if we do not allow Him to. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ so much and I love my Savior and Redeemer. I am so grateful for the perfect plan of salvation that God has given us. I love you all, have a good week!

Living the Life Pues (Week 55)

Elder Passeri and Elder Herman. 
New companions and zone and district leaders.

      Well this week went by fast. But I got sick Monday night and was throwing up all night. So the whole week I wasn’t feeling the best and didn’t eat much so that was a bummer. But being with Passeri is so fun, he is awesome. And our area is really good too but, we haven’t been able to work here very much. The zone has a lot of problems and our job is to make our zone the zone that everyone wants to be, cause honestly it has kinda been really bad for a really long time. But in our area there are some people that have a lot of potential.

Spiritual Though Of The Week

      This week has been pretty focused on our attitudes. It is very important that we have good attitudes in everything we do. The scriptures always tell us to be of good cheer. What reasons to we have to be of good cheer? Well just read the scriptures and you will find many! One of the most important reasons is because we have a Savior who died for us and is always with us. We can always find reasons to be happy and have a good attitude about life! Always remember that we are here to have joy! I love you all! Have a great week!

Con Amor, Elder Herman

Saying good-bye.

More good-byes.
