Marcus's Mission

Hello hello, yes sorry I just had little time yesterday and decided to not write an email. So, sorry about that hehe.    Anyway I wanna get started with the spiritual thought but before that, thank you so much for all the amazing b-day messages I got, I'll tell ya it was a day like every other, straight chambeando, with a little call to fam but that was it. Celebrated a little cake the monday after and it was good! SPIRITUAL THOUGHT  :    Today I wanna talk about the relationship between patience and preparation something that slowly came to me as I've been studying the scriptures lately.    To start things off I wanna start with a scripture about pacience. Alma 34:40-41 40 And now my beloved brethren, I would exhort you to have patience, and that ye bear with all manner of afflictions; that ye do not revile against those who do cast you out because of your exceeding poverty, lest ye become sinners like unto them 41 But that ye have patience, and bear ...

 

  Warning it's pretty long Lets start off with the week! Monday:    We headed up to a place called Yanasara about an hour away. Basically their natural hot tubs... so lit  . Will be adding photos! Tuesday:    Okok so today was so blessed!! We have a plaza in the center of our city with crazy loud speakers and they were playing white girl music  . Another thing that happened was we found an amazing friend this day. His name is Alejandro Gabriel, and he's been on the search for truth so we're excited to be teaching him. Wednesday:    Wow today we ate one of the most colorful dishes I think I've ever eaten. Beats(purple) potatoes (yellow), beef(brown) and corn/rice(white) ya crazy. We ended today with a Noche de Hogar with the Ynglessie family, our friends Kevin and Liz and their daughter who has about the same amount of time living as I have in the mission, let's just say I'm winning the language game haha sucker! We then played some version of...

     What up everyone I hope that everyone has had a great Easter week with General Conference ending things off! Also if anyone really thinking about sending me something send out your favorite talk from Conference or what you did to celebrate the Easter holiday!! Spiritual Thought :    Ok ok so for the spiritual thought today I wanna talk more about the talk from Sister Freeman about good days and bad days! I know that every person has got their good days and bad days. We are not here on this Earth to have every day be the best day. I can clearly see this while being in the mission. Having good days and bad days is completely out of our control.     So what is in our control, well that would be our attitude and how we choose to react to a certain outcome. The Joy and Promise of Christ is that if we are striving to be like him we will eventually end up with attitudes that will turn a bad day into a day just a tad bit better. Clearly we can see th...

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 rea...

       Hello, what up friends and fam thanks for taking the time to read my email for this week!! So for this week I wanna keep it a little short because lately they've been real long.  Lets get started      Wednesday, goated proselyting day preaching the word of God but we left to zone conference and had a terrible time sleeping on the bus and basically got no sleep.            Thursday was zone conference, and it was fire.  We got to see the boys from our mtc time in lima and learned a lot more about the faith and hope, something I have been studying lately so that was cool. Also came back this day after just barely catching the bus.      Friday we had district counsel to talk about zone conference then hit up intercambios or exchanges. I went with Elder Carbajo into their area and we ALMOST put a fecha down with a guy named Eddingson...      Ending this week on Friday night there ...
