hey family, wow thank you so much for sharing your experiences with luke 15 that really meant a lot to me. its amazing cuz i was totally expecting different answers and the ones that you guys gave me are the answers that i really needed to hear.
so i have been reading alot in the bible and something that has really gotten to me are the fariseos (haha i dont remember how to spell it in english) the orthodox jews that always tried prooving Jesus wrong. for example healing on the sabbath or just about any other little thing. They did know the teachings of the gospel very well, they did have all the rules down, they memorized just about everything but they were missing something.. they didnt apply it in their lives, they didnt understand the reasoning behind all of it. for example ¿why do we have the sabbath day? obviously to worship the Lord, do good for others, renew our covenants all that stuff. but when Jesus healed a man who had a limp hand on the sabbath they all freaked out. but why?
something else i love in the bible is chapter 22 of matthew when Christ talks about the Great Commandment. Elder Wirthlin gave an awesome talk about that in october 2007 that one of my ex companions gave me and i read it this week and absolutely loved it. i´m really really striving to apply that and Moroni 7:45 in my life as a missionary. its not easy but for real its so much better. im finally starting to think before saying things haha and i think ¿how am i showing charity for this person? haha its not easy and to be honest sometimes i feel like a goon trying to be overly nice haha but just in this week i`ve seen a change in my life haha. and since you guys loved the homework i gave you last week haha im gonna give you some more. in the last conference there was a 70 that gave a talk about ¿what type of men and women should we be? I say unto you even as I am. i think his name is elder Robin but his talk is absolutely awesome and talks about how we Being and Doing. so i want you to read it and then help me understand what i should do as a missionary. I really really want to be obedient in everything but i dont want to be a fariseo telling everyone else what is it that they are doing wrong haha i hope you understand that. so please give me some tips.
oh so this week one of rey davids friends saw us in the street and came running up to us (he was drunk too so it was pretty funny seeing him run haha) but yeah he came up to us and wanted to talk to us. he saw the huge change that Rey david made in his life and he wants to change too but he had lost hope a long time ago cuz of all the problems he has had. but after he saw everything that david did he has faith again and wants us to help him!!! how awesome!! and he says that his mom and sister and aunt and cousins wanna learn too haha so im super pumped about all that.
but yeah i love yall so much. cuìdense mucho, les amo
