On saturday we had a Zone Conference and I was able to see a familiar face: Sister Erikson! So we took some pics representing the good old 208 Area.
I am so glad that Megan is having this chance to participate in the Missionary work! I´m still secretly(yet not so secretly) hoping she goes on a mission

Look, we're frying Fish on ¨El Disco¨, the disk. Turned out pretty tasty!
I don't know Kotter, what ward's he from? (He is our new stake president}
I feel so proud knowing that Ellie's playing LaX! I'm so happy, I'm tearing up a little :´)
I hope those rolls make it! You may not believe it, but Mexico isn't very well know for its desserts. They're good here, but nothing like the ones from back home!
This week we had a Zone Conference meeting with our mission president. It was super awesome! He focused on what we need to do as missionaries to help our investigators progress and go to church. He focused on the importance of Obedience: The first law of Heaven. We have to explain the importance of obeying, even when we don't understand why.
In the book of Moses the comes a story of Adam, who obeyed the commandment to offer sacrifices.
6. And after many days an angel of the Lord appeared unto Adam, saying: Why dost thou offer sacrifices unto the Lord? And Adam said unto him: I know not, save the Lord commanded me.
What really stands out to me is that the angl didn't come to explain it to him after the first time, nor the second time. It was ¨After many days¨. Answers don't always come quickly. They may not even come in this life. But they will come.
As Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf said after sharing his personal experience,
¨The answer didn’t come immediately. But eventually I learned that God’s promises are not always fulfilled as quickly as or in the way we might hope; they come according to His timing and in His ways¨
I heard a story once of a mon who found that he was lacking patience. So he prayed ¨Lord, please give me patience, but give it to me now!¨
It doesnt work like that. We must wait and obey faithfully. I know that if we do, good things will come. The greatest blessings don't come immediately, they take time. And if we accept the Lords will we'll see that they come exactly when we need them.
Obey. Be Patient. You will see the blessings.
I Love you!
