I love being a missionary!

I love being a missionary! There’s nothing that compares to it. It is just weird to think about two 20 year olds running around talking to people and making appointments and then teaching something that will change their lives. It is just awesome. I know I will never have another opportunity at it and the time seems to just go so fast. I love it all. I know Christ died so that people can overcome whatever challenge that thy face. I don’t know how the Atonement works, but it sure does work in my life and those that surround me. Love ya!!!!

It's just more fun to be happy, no matter what:)

I bought a 13 x 9 pan to make brownies and hootenannies. Today, while making brownies, I cracked the eggs right into the mix and one ended up having a very rotten little something in it. That threw a damper on the brownies I was going to make, but I’m still happy (it’s just more fun to be happy, no matter what).

Eternity

Well, I know that every difficulty can be resolved and overcome in this life. All happiness is found in a life based on the teachings of Christ. I always love holding a picture of the temple and telling people that they can be married there for ALL of eternity. It is worth anything to make it there. At times I feel like I don’t deserve so many blessings and opportunities for blessings, but Heavenly Father strengthens us in our weakness and keeps giving the blessings. It is so worth doing all we can to accept all of those blessings. Christ lives. Anything we have done wrong can be fixed and forgotten. Some things may seem too hard to fix, but at some point we just lack forgiving ourselves. Christ’s arms are open and he can lead us on to the eternities!

"I Stand All Amazed...."

Sé que esta Iglesia es dirigido por Jesucristo. Estoy tan feliz a estar aquí en la misión porque puedo ver los cambios en las vidas de las personas, y aún mejor, las familias. Sé que tenemos un profeta a guiarnos y El Libro de Mormón is un libro de Dios, un libro poderoso. Me siento humillado que Dios me confia a llevar su mensaje a las personas en esta ciudad. Jesucristo nos ama y murió por nosotros. Realmente, ¨Asombro me da el amor que me da Jesus¨.

Translation:

I know that Jesus Christ directs the church. I am happy to be on my mission because I am able to see the changes in people’s lives, and even more importantly families. I know that we have a prophet to guide us, and The Book of Mormon is a book from God, a powerful book. I feel humble that God has put his confidence in me to carry his message to the people in this city. I know Jesus Christ loves us and died for us. Truly, "I Stand All Amazed at the Love Jesus Offers Me."

HAPPY EASTERS!!! (Mexican accent)

My new companion is awesome. We only speak Spanish even though our native language is Swiss. Elder Coulter likes to be clean and obedient! Hot dang! We knocked on a whole lot of doors this week. The area was divided, and we got the half that Elder Juarez and I didn’t work in too much, so it was basically like starting over new, but we are going for it. Elder Coulter is a good worker and we’ve got to set the example for the zone. We are working hard, but it made for a very tiring week as well. You know you’re tired when you fall asleep (I usually call it meditating) in a lesson and studies and Priesthood meeting.

I invite all those who have gotten a little away from the church, or a lot, that they come back. It just is the best thing in the world. Also, for all of those that haven’t entered in, it is the time to do it. This is the way to happiness. It just makes sense. I love you so much!!!
