Letter #37

im so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

and i dont know why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

so we had changes today... me and my comp stay in the same Ward but they parted our área. my comp got a new comp and i got a new comp.

 

my comp its from the dominican republic. he has 20 months and hes from the north west mission. he seems very pridefull, he doesnt want to walk fast and i Heard that he isnt obedient! well he got a really bad comp from all of that.  because im going to love him to death.

 

we didnt do anything special for the 4th of july. but we did sing god bless america in english. living here makes me apreciate america a lot more. 

 

we dont go on splits here. we just dont...

 

im district leader but my last president had me on the list to be a zone leader last change. but i was chosen to come to this mission. it was ordained in the pre-existence.

 

my mission president is awesome and makes a lot of money like 500,000,000 a year... he doesnt speak spanish but he is awesome!

 

thanks dad for the brm talks i love them 

 

i would love a talk this week about love and how to love everyone and have christ like love.

 

i love you all so much!

So i read an amazing talk this week about gratitude. i hope all can read it and apply it in there lives. ITS AMAZING!

 

like dad always said "dont look a gift horse in the mouth"

 

we worked so hard this week and we commited 30 people to church! and no one went. i was so mad!!!  but then i started looking at all the blessings... every little thing... then i wasnt so mad and i was much happier.

 

this week im going to be trying to have the spirit as my constant companion to guide me in every moment. i want the people to feel what they dont have... aka "the holy ghost".

 

we have changes again in two weeks if i stay here in this area i will be part of another mission... our mission president will be going home the end of june. and we will get another one... and the other mission is getting a new mission president as well. ill go where the lord wants me to go.

 

my dad in the mission right now is my zone leader and it has been a blast to be working with him! usually that doesnt happen very often.

 

i love you all so much! and im greatful for every single one of you. im greatful for you letters, prayers and support. may God bless us with revelation so that we may know how to live more christlike lives...

 

lets not live below our priviledges... we are children of a heavenly father that loves us and wants to bless us. lets do all we can to win his blessings!

 

i got new shoes(boots for the rain). ill send photos next week. and my card expires or already expired this month :/

so this week can you send me the talk from cleon skousen "the atonement"

arrrg im getting a little frustrated because we cant bring people to church. another sunday with out anyone.  we had to people with baptismal date but they fell with dumb doubts. it made me so sad... noone understands what we understand. elder juergens says that they are "spiritually five-year olds" they dont understand...

the catholic church just lies to everyone and they believe all of it. "in the catholic church we arent forced to go everysunday." "...i believe in God and he is always with me."  "... i dont have to have a church to pray to God and worship him"

its super sad. but we arent giving up. we will not receive results until after the trail of our faith.  the lords wants to bless me but i can tell if he is trying to teach me something or if im not worthy of his blessings. i feel like potters clay or a puzzle all these things are happening but i dont understand why or i cant see what he is doing yet. or im just being hard and im not doing what the lord wants me to do.

im starting to read the new testiment and jesus the christ. every morning to learn more about him and to know his will. 

i thank you all so much for your prayers and concerns!

i love the work, and iwill fight and work until i baptise everyone here!

changes are next week :/ who knows where ill be going.

the card you can send it to the mtc i think and they send a pouch to the mission and its super safe you can call the mtc to see if you could do that.

i love you all a ton.

wow hayden congratulations! keep up the good work!

 

thanks for all the emails of these people im going to start writing them one at a time when i have a chance.

 

so we had our last interview with president last week.  it was pretty amazing! he asked me if i had any questions for him and i told him that i was trying to better my relationship with my father in heaven, and so i asked how i could do it better. he told me two things "learn about the life of christ and his attributes and love his children as you want him to love you"

 

the goal in this life is to become like the savior and everything he did and we will have more success than we could ever imaging.

 

más buscad el reino de Dios y su justicia y todas estas cosas os serán añadidas.

 

i hope that we can all search for the kingdom of god and everything else will be added. its as simple as that...

 

so to do this i have been studying the attributes of christ and trying to apply them in my own life. seriously i have been worried about reaching my true potencial. i had no idea what to work for or who to become, then i thought ill just be like Christ. my true potencial is to become like christ. anyone else wanna come with me in this journey?

 

"what would jesus do..." one of my favorite phrases ever.

 

what class of man ought ye to be..."even as i am"

 

so we went to the catedral in mexico city "so much apostasy"  

i love you all so much!

 

if you could send me a talk about exact righteousness like in dyc 121

also about becoming perfect... dont send me the talk that came out one of these last conferences beause i have already read it. i havent read any from april of 2013.

 

love yall

sorry i have no time to talk today.

my comp all week just told me that he wanted to go home.  i was his dad in the mission. but he was from guatemala and they are gong to talk to doctors to see if they can help him. i got a new comp today and that is why we cant talk alot bc we just got back to tejupilco.

so they dont have easter its just a week long of catholic holidays. its called semana santa. they do a whole bunch of different things.

sorry em we dont get close to families here because we are always working and when we eat we have one hour to eat as much as possible then we leave. we dont have time to play and know people bc we are always trying to find people that dont have the restored gosple. the members already have it.

mike sorry about your friend. the mind is so powerful. but just as faith is a seed that grows so are bad thoughts but they are like weeds that always seem faster and easier where you dont want them then they take over.  

BUT I LOVE THE BOOK OF MORMON. I LOVE IT   I LOVE IT   I LOVE IT. 

but i love you all and thanks for the talks that you send me and your thoughts i love you all a ton!

Elder Clark  im being the elder that my mom wants me to be and thinks that i am. ;)
