Tortilla count for the week: 15
I don’t have changes but there are still changes since
the time has come for Elder Moncada to go home, he had served faithfully for
two years. I will miss him. Elder Moncada’s greenie/comp Elder Cervantes is
being changed since he has finished his new missionary training. I’m still the
zone leader so I will be getting a new zone leader comp and I will still
continue to train Elder Chavis.

This week Elder Chavis got sick; he ate tamales with milk.
He told me he had a stomach of steel well that was a lie, he was throwing up and
could not stop. Yes it was sad but dang funny because supuestamente
(supposedly) he has a stomach of steel…jajaja...so I got to work with Elder Moncada
for a little bit and it was sweet! Like I said before I’m going to miss him, he
is a great missionary and we have been through so much together.

This week we taught a super powerful lesson on the
restoration. We taught it in a different way than we have before. Each time we
came to a new principal we would ask a question so that when Willy would answer
we could know if he truly understood the principal we were talking about. The
lesson really started to develop when Elder Chavis and I talked about Christ’s
life and the apostasía (apostasy). As we explained with the Bible (yes Elder
Mac uses the Bible at times) that Christ estableció His church with His power
and authority and to also introduce la apostasia. We asked if the apostles
truly established Christ’s church and only taught His doctrine then why are there
so many Christian churches today. Willy really thought about this and said something
must have happened, was it because they were killed and there was no one with
the authority. He got it! It was a powerful lesson.
President Uchtdorf said this, “He is not waiting to
love you until you have overcome your weaknesses and bad habits. He loves you
today with a full understanding of your struggles. He is aware that you reach
up to Him in heartfelt and hopeful prayer. He knows of the times you have held
onto the fading light and believed—even in the midst of growing darkness. He
knows of your sufferings. He knows of your remorse for the times you have
fallen short or failed. And still He loves you.” I felt His love. Just knowing
that He loves me despite of all my shortcomings gives me hope. President
Uchtdorf’s words gave me hope to repent and to keep repenting. We are from
Heavenly Parents and as I read that I felt a strong desire to do good, or I
could say I felt what the el pueblo de rey Benjamín (King Benjamin’s people)
felt and said, “Yea, we believe all the words which thou hast spoken unto us;
and also, we know of their surety and truth, because of the Spirit of the Lord
Omnipotent, which has wrought a mighty change in us, or in our hearts, that we
have no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually.” (Mosiah 5:2)
Take some to truly think what it means to be from Heavenly Parents.

What I love about Dad is that he has been called as a
bishop. What I love about Mom is the support she has been to Dad.
