Transfer #2 Sevilla Ward

Hello Everyone!! This last week has been full of activities and work. I love it here in Sevilla and am so grateful for all of your emails, thoughts, and prayers.
Last Tuesday we had a Zone Training in Lingsat with the whole San Fernando Zone! Every one is so close with one another and so nice as well so it was a super fun, spirit filled Training.
For part of the training I gave a workshop about how we can make it easier, and more fun to find others who are willing to listen to the message of the Restored Gospel. I called it "Finding Nemo" and based it all off of the movie!! We talked about how Marlin 1) Had a companion 2) Traveled Everywhere and 3) Left behind a reputation of what he was doing so that others would know!
It fir right in to missionary work and, cant lie, it felt good to talk about a movie i havent seen in over a year! Hahah
Elder Tavita and I have been jogging every morning to burn off all that rice, and have been working all day every day as much as possible to find new people and to help those learning, be able to come closer to making promises with our Heavenly Father to always follow his plan. Nothing too crazy has been going on but we are loving life and doing our best! I am sorry this email is short! We have been workin hard and tough and not letting the summer heat drag us down!


I was able to finish the Book of Mormon again this week. I loved the last words that Moroni has before he ends his writing! Also in Moroni 7:41-48




44 If so, his faith and hope is vain, for none is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly in heart; and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity.

45 And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

 46 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail—

 47 But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.

 48 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen.

Prayer is key for us to feel the love of our Heavenly Father. I know he watches over every one of us and listens to our prayers. I am so grateful for the knowledge that Christ Lives and is our Savior. I love you all! Have a great week!
