Week 81 Danli

More questions about home and school but he is still amazingly engaged and applying what he is learning to every day challenges we face.  I think our family has been so fortunate and blessed by what he is doing but it doesn't come to any of us without trials as well.  As he shares.....we walk by faith and not by sight.

ps who is Nefi???

Querida Familia,
Well for my grades all that I remember is I had straight A´s and 1 B in Biology. Thats all that I remember and give me my stuff to look on my EA account because I think there is a weird way to look at grades. Also mom I need to know the date that you guys were sealed in the temple!!??? Its for the wood thing. Also does Emily and Kyle want one?? Can I get one?? Also awesome story about Josey and vball haha. God works in mysterious ways but its like the scripture dad shared 1 Cor. 5:7. I love talking about faith and how putting our full trust in God. We had a zone workshop on Thursday after the meeting in Tegus with President on wednesday. We as a zl´s always give a class to the zone and give the message of President on what he talked about and whatever we feel that we need to talk to them about to animate them more. So a excommunicated member that we talk to all the time named Denis, still trying to come back to full membership, gave us some cool relations in the scriptures on how we need to be better and how we can do it with all of our faith and trust in the Lord. He gave the example of Nefi on how he received the plates of brass from Laban. So how many times did Nefi had to try to finally obtain the plates?? he tried three times and on the third try he had success but why?? If you read chapters 1 Nefi 3 - 1 Nefi 4 it explains that the first two times he failed because he was trying to obtaint he plates by the arm of the flesh or mans plan. Then the third time Nefi goes without even knowing how to do it but was guided by the spirit on how to obtain those plates. Because the angel that showed up when Nefi and his brother were being smitten said to them after Laman and Lemuel hitting them. He said go unto Jerusalem again and the Lord will give Laban to them. Crazy huh?! So Nefi goes back and follows the spirit of the Lord or follows the plan of God and was success. Pure faith!!!! I explained that to the missionaries that sometimes we work with the arm of the flesh or the plan of man, but if we kneel and ask God for help he will guide us to what we need to do in our areas. Do not fear to fail because everyone is going to fail at some point in there life but we can lift up ourselves and fix what we are doing by asking the Lord for forgiveness and ask Him what does he desire for us to do. Something cool I learned!! I love the scriptures and how we can apply them to ourselves nowadays. This week we taught a black young man who is getting baptized this week or next week. He is super pilas to teach and wants to change his life. We are hoping that he goes on a mission because he talks about it. So we will see what happens his name is Eduardo. Then we found some new investigators to teach with some other young folk and possibly a new family to teach. I really want to teach progreessing family so I just want to look for new families. But I love being out here and I dont like thinking about how much time that I have left because it makes me sad and nervous. So I just need to focus on what I have left and do everything that I can to help others come unto Christ. But thats all that I have to say and I love you all!!! I hope you have an awesome week. Tell dad Happy Birthday!!! He is awesome!! talk to you all later!!

Tu Hijo,

P.S.- For gifts for a family let me keep looking because I think the ward wants to do something for the people that are poor here and they might need some help. But let me get back to you on that one.
