With the week being the Holy Week of the ministry of Jesus Christ I wanted to share more about the Jesus I have come to know while being out in the mission. So Easter special!🐣

   Firstly I wanted to start by sharing a little comparison that I've found while reading more about Jesus. The comparison comes from the Bible as well as the Book of Mormon. 

   Starting off in Matthew 21:9 it reads
     And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

   Then in 3 Nephi 11:17
     Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God! And they did fall down at the feet of Jesus, and did worship him.

    Ok so I hope that you can see a similarity i m both of these scriptures. The welcoming of their savior with the words Hosanna. We know that we sing hosanna in quite a bit of songs but what does it really mean. Reading in the topical guide says that "Hosanna" means "Please Save Us." I dont know about you but that came as a little bit of a shock to me because the jews then go on the sacrifice Jesus only a few days later. That signifies to me that they truly didn't have the right faith in him. 

   To end I want to recognize the two different reactions between the Jews and the Nephites in their experiences of Jesus! Like I already said the Jews had their expectations of Jesus and he did not conform to thise expectations and they then fell subject to sacrificing their very own savior. I PRAY that this is not the case for most of us. Then the nephites, earlier in the chapter it talks of how the Nephites came to his feet to feel the prints of the nails in his habds and feet. This signifies to me that these people came t ok learn first and were willing enough to change their ideology around him. Both claimed Hosanna but for completely different reasons. The jews where wishing to be saved in a way that they thought they needed more. And Jesus did not complete their ideology therefore he was a fake, an outcast, and a heretic. Yet he did more for them then they can ever realize. Yet the Nephites realize what Jesus did because they went to his feet and beheld first-hand for themselves that he had individually suffered for each of them. They gained a personal witness of the holiness of his mission and therefore singing Hosanna asked him to save them. So this easter season or holy week I invite each of you to come to the savior to ckme to know him as your personal savior for more than what you expect. He is there for each of us and depending on how we react we will be the judges of our own futures. Stay true, "be still and know that I am God" (Psalms 46:10) He is ever with us, learn of him, and learn to recognize and know him! In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

Okok now for the week!

The work is moving along here, now we have a baptism date and she is just the coolest. We're hoping she can move her baptism sooner to this week . This week we have transfers and I swear if we get moved out before we baptize her I will flip out. It has taken so much work to get this place running again...  Well Tuesday started off a little bummy because that was the day that we were supposed to receive our carnets and all the other boys in my group did. BUT I DIDN'T. Let me help you picture what this place is like. It looks just like a dmv, with letters and numbers saying who goes next. Every single number is just randomized and it looks like a mess. I would argue that this place, called migrations, is worse than the DMV . The sad part was, I wasted my time in that office waiting like everyone else but did not get my brownie card . next week. What made up for it though was spending time with the boys that I had gotten close with in the MTC. So I guess it wasn't all too bad ...

  Whats up guys!! Hope everyone is having a great week this week because I feel like last week just ended. We had a busy week so maybe thats why it felt so fast. We've turned into robots. Finding people has become a rhythm. We just visit all the parks around here because 1 they are beautiful, and 2 it is where people go when they have extra time. As with the title we used the Spanish phrase at the top a lot. Which means, we don't want to take more of your time, which was just for us to stop talking with them to find some more people. The work is hard out here, especially when people love to talk about God and Jesus but never want to accept what we've asked of them. But at least we're spreading the gospel out here!! SPIRITUAL THOUGHT: For my spiritual thought today I want to talk a little about why we as members of the church of Jesus Christ love not only the joy our gospel brings but what Jesucristo does for every one of us. So it begins. Why do members of the church wa...

  Well the sweet and dreadful transfers happened last week... luckily me and my companion are staying another transfer!! My area here has been a real stick in the neck and frustrating, and brown. Not counting how much of a baby mission it is with food cooked for us for two meals and laundry done and folded by someone else... I've been trying to find the good here in where I'm at. Like the food            But trying to teach people who don't want to do anything we ask them to, can really getcha. People's agency is important to God, but sometimes I wish I could just get people to keep their promises... But God has a plan, a plan that is so perfect that even his most rebellious and disruptive child cannot stop the joys we have waiting for us after this life. This week was real boring and we have mostly had lessons with people who we are dropping. It's hard to look at your work and say you're doing a good job when there really isn't anything to show. But a...
