Hello friends and family,
When Elder Zeballos lived in Chile, he lived
close to the ocean on the beach. On the other side of him was a mountain. He
didnt want to climb the mountian because it was too hot, but his son insisted
that they climb the mountain together. "I'm too busy", said Elder
Zeballos. Haha but his son grabbed his planner and found a day that he was
going to be home and said, "We will climb the mountian on this day, you
wont be busy." Elder Zeballos told him, "Ok, under one condition! We
leave at 6:30 am this way we will leave before it gets too hot." They
agreed. A few weeks later, Elder Zeballos thinks his son forgot about the
arrangement they made, but he didn't. He came into his bedroom and woke him up.
They climbed the mountain and when they got tot the top of the mountain they
looked over at the beautiful beach on one side. When they turned to look at the other
direction, they saw another mountain that they did not see before. They could
only see the second mountain after they climbed the first. So it is when we do
our best our best is always changing. When we climb to the top of one
mountian, we see another mountain to be climbed. But each time we do our best,
our best improves. So his son said, "Next week, we climb the second
mountain." Haha and they did! It was a cute story. It helped me realize
that I have done my best on my mission. But my best will continue to get
better, which is what life is all about!
Dennis came to church yesterday! Dennis wants
to be Mormon but his wife is a different religion. So after he went to church with
his wife, then came to our church and he loved it!!!! The whole high priest
group (basically all the older men in our church) welcomed him! Dennis said he
felt very at home. I know that this Gospel is a place for everyone to feel at
home!
The other night we hadn't found any new
investigators in a while and we had an hour left until we needed to go inside.
Sister Beaudette and I tried to pray very sincerely that we would be able to
find someone to teach before we had to go in. We were walking and we met a lady named Tarran, she listened to us,
took a Book of Mormon and invited us back! I am never surprised anymore to see
those miracles and prayers answered, Heavenly Father hears us and He answers our prayers!
I know that Heavenly Father loves us. I know
that Jesus Christ can strengthen us when we need it. I know that this is the
church of Jesus Christ, the one that He is the head of. I know that God loves
us so much that he guides us through personal revelation and also through His
Prophets and Apostles on the earth today. I love the Gospel with all my heart!
I love you all and I will see you
shortly!!!
