Marcus's Mission

Wowowow Hey guys it has been quite some time, the only thing more neglected than all of you is my Journal...  but hey we hitting it back up! We got a lot to talk about!      Firstly... SPIRITUAL THOUGHT :    Well clearly today, we are going to start this off with a spiritual thought, with what was shared with us by a general authority, Elder Godoy. About 3 weeks ago we got to hear from Elder Godoy, who talked about the importance of perspectives. From our Earthly perspectives, we can decide whatever we desire to be truth. What we have is so small compared to what God sees that we could be thinking one thing is truth when in fact it is completely wrong.    So why am I talking about this, well its because I wanna talk about the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints, and what we view as true. We know, with Moses or Noah or Adam or Abraham, that way back then God himself came to those who he had chosen, to be the ones to guide or rule us. God did...

  Yo wuts good. Lets be short and start off with the SPIRITUAL THOUGHT :    So today, obviously we will be talking about the why do we pray. Now the WHY    Something that I been able to see as a missionary is to see the power of prayer. Literally first hand. For example one thing our president implemented in this mission was praying specifically for the people that are progressing to be baptized and I will say that the amount of people who were getting baptized doubled. So prayer absolutely works and we have seen miracles    So now brings the question of why do we pray. Do we pray because we want blessings, or do we pray to talk to God, I wanna know why do we pray.  Go read Moroni 10:4-5    We may ask in prayer for things, but it is worth nothing if we cannot invite the spirit to work on our hearts and testify. Prayer is powerful and the spark that lights the warm comfort and confirmation of the Holy Ghost.     We pray to ...

     Hello what is up, we are here with another email, you know I will tell you this it has been a miracle these are actually being written, because my journal is looking real dry and lots of unwritten letters to fam and friends have not been sent... I want to say expect them soon but no promises So to start this weeks email lets hit the  SPIRITUAL THOUGHT :    Like I mentioned in last weeks email I will be picking a theme, word, idea, whatever and focus on that theme for the month! This months word is PRAYER.     Okok so like what even is prayer and why do we even do it. The scriptures tell us it is a way of communication between us and God, and an obvious example of this is, if course, with Jesus Christ! Jesus was always talking with his father, at least thats what we receive from witnesses. But what did his prayers look like when there was no one else to hear them, when there was no one other than him and his father... I have genuinely always w...

Mónica Casas  David Asencio Casas Yarumi Asencio Casas Danna Asencio Casas Xiomara Cruz Aylin Echeverria Yoselin Briceño (Would be much appreciated if you sent some prayers their way) Lets start the  SPIRITUAL THOUGHT :     Hey today I wanted to share some of my favorite scriptures to finish off the month!! Also something I will start to do is give myself a month topic. So for this month I've talked a lot around trust so here are my favorite concerning trust!    Proverbs 3:5-7 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.    Alma 34:41 41 But that ye have patience, ...
