I'm Trying To Be Like Jesus (Week 87)

Zone Conference Fun!

      Another good week. We had zone conference and that was a good time, and also September 16^th is independence day for Mexico. So the 15^th we had to be home early because everyone is partying, haha. But Saturday we had a cool experience. We were calling people from the area book and we said a prayer to find someone that would accept us and want to go to church, and the first person we called said we could go visit him that day! So that was really cool. I know God answers our prayers! Also, Victor went to church and we have taught him everything, so he is ready for his baptism! Wahoo!

Spiritual Thought Of The Week

      In our mission right now we are very focused on the attributes of Jesus Christ. Man I love studying His attributes so I can strive to be like He is. Something I love is hope. Hope makes life a lot better because we are more optimistic and positive. Many times we can be happier and endure trials better if we have hope. How can we have more hope? Studying the scriptures and finding the promises that God has made with us, and seeing the bigger picture. Hope helps us to endure to the end and to be righteous. In Doctrine and Covenants 59:23 it says “But learn that he who doeth the works of righteousness shall receive his reward, even peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come.” If we keep our eye on the prize we will be motivated! Also I love the scripture in Ether 12:32 “And I also remember that thou hast said that thou hast prepared a house for man, yea, even among the mansions of thy Father, in which man might have a more excellent hope; wherefore man must hope, or he cannot receive an inheritance in the place which thou hast prepared.” We must have hope in Eternal Life, and that if we do everything we need to here, we will inherit this place that the Lord has prepared among the mansions of his Father. Hope makes life happier! I hope we can all have hope that one day we will all be with God again, living happily with our families!
