3/4/13 - From Erica


SOOOO,
 
I just read how they are changing our mission and everything and I'm going crazy....but it's a great crazy so don't worry about me. Haha who knows what will happen but I hope you take time to look at the map...because basically you'll see that my whole mission is gone except a little piece. There is so much work in that little area and I think that's why they did that. Wow it's simply amazing everything that is happeneing and that I'm even a part of it. I feel so greteful to be part of this work!!! I wish everyone could come on a mission!
 
"Ye shall seek me and find me when ye shall search me with all your heart." I love this scripture! Seriously, we are the one that choose how close we are to God. We should ask ourselves if we really do believe in God and why.
 
 
Read this talk it's amazing.
"He loves us because He is filled with an infinite measure of holy, pure, and indescribable love. We are important to God not because of our résumé but because we are His children. He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken. God’s love is so great that He loves even the proud, the selfish, the arrogant, and the wicked.What this means is that, regardless of our current state, there is hope for us. No matter our distress, no matter our sorrow, no matter our mistakes, our infinitely compassionate Heavenly Father desires that we draw near to Him so that He can draw near to us.9"
 
This week we found another person that wants to get baptized! It was amazing because at the door he said he had his church ect, and no he didn't want it. The spirit kept pushing me to keep trying. I did. WE finally got an appt with him. Then when we finally got to teach him, he understood. We we just have to see if he has more faith in God or man. His pastor friend could discourage him, but if we all just ask God, he'll tell us the truth.
 
Parent's I'm sending a box of book home, please put it in football's room. gracias!
 
I realized that a lot of people have such a fear or responsibility and they need to stop! haha let's have more faith, take on more responsibility and watch as God blessed us for our efforts. We just have to do our best. I know that as memebers of Christ's church we have something that will help others come closer to God yet we fail to share it with others. It's our responsibility and I'm happy to serve the Lord. God is so merciful to have allowed me to come and experience everything that he wants me too.
 
I pray you all have missionary experiences and "open your mouth" so that he can fill it with His word.
 
I love you all so much and so does God. Trust him.
 
Love,
Hna Arguello
