Stepping on dog disclaimer

I got some concerns that me and my companion were stepping on the dog in the photo last week. No se preocupe, we were just rubbing his belly. Normally I don’t like dogs but this dog was being funny so I had to get a pic. 

Sore Legs

My legs were totally wrecked this week from the mountain hike. I was walking like I didn’t have knees. And I hated it when we’d start walking downhill. My legs hurt so bad and I couldn’t stop walking. Also we were contacting this lady and I almost fell over because my legs wanted to give out which was embarrassing.

I’m a visa…?

There’s a video here in the DR that went viral of these two elders in one of the Santo Domingo missions jamming out to some song. A ton of people showed us the video while we were out proselyting and we were kind of popular. But that also made us a target. We street contacted some people and they were like “are you the Elders from the video?”. I said no, but then they pulled up a different video on tik tok that is literally of us. We were just walking around in the video so it wasn’t very exciting but apparently it was going around too, and the caption was something about us being visas. Probably because all the dominicanas want to go to the U.S. and if they marry a gringo they can go. It was interesante.

Bucket Shower

Since I’ve been here in Puerto Plata, I’ve been taking bucket showers. In my shower the water just comes out of a PVC pipe from the bottom of the shower so I just fill that up and use it. But I found out recently that it actually works. I just have to twist a different knob and then the water will come out from the top. So basically I’ve been taking bucket showers for a month for no reason.

El Regreso de La Sombrilla

After church yesterday bishop gave us a ride, and I was chilling there in the back seat. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw the handle of a familiar object…could it be? I reached for the silver handle and pulled it out. It was my umbrella. I could not believe it. I almost cried with joy. Apparently I left it in bishops car when he gave us a ride last month. But it was crazy and I am so happy. 

Spiritual Thought

For my spiritual thought today I’m going to add a section from my journal from this week. Enjoy-

1/8/21 - Sábado

"Today was alright. My legs are super freaking sore from the hike that we did Monday. I’ve been walking really weird all day because of it. But it’s whatever.

My personal study was so good. Lately it’s just been so great. The Book of Mormon is so powerful. I feel so much power while reading it. I just feel so good and so happy. 

My mind has been pretty clear lately. Like for instance it really just kinda hit me recently that wickedness really isn’t happiness. I’ve started to lose the desire to do any kind of wrong. It never has and never will make me happy. I have always loved the truth. 

I’ve also started praying out loud in the other room at night for my personal prayers. It has actually helped me a lot. 

I know I will always be faithful to the gospel, but I wish I was better about it sometimes. I don’t want to be like Laman and Lemuel who do the same thing Nephi does but with the wrong attitude, making it better if they had just not done it at all in the first place. 

I am so grateful though for the mission and what it’s doing for me. Living the gospel is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. 

I was feeling annoyed lately at the idea of extraordinary things happening. Like angels appearing to people, Moses parting the red sea, etc.. I was feeling doubtful and that it’s all just a tall tale. But then I remembered a part from a talk I listened to again recently (Lawrence C. Corbridge, “Stand Forever”)

“Believe “with God all things are possible.” We may all be taken back from time to time by the extraordinary—such as walking on water, multiplying bread and fish, raising the dead, translating gold plates with special lenses or a stone and hat, and the visitation of angels. Some people are hard-pressed to believe extraordinary things. While it is understandable that we may be challenged by the extraordinary, we shouldn’t be, because ordinary things are actually far more phenomenal.

The most phenomenal occurrences of all time and eternity—the most amazing wonders, the most astounding, awesome developments—are the most common and widely recognized. They include: I am; you are; we are; and all that we perceive exists as well, from subatomic particles to the farthest reaches of the cosmos and everything in between, including all of the wonders of life. Is there anything greater than those ordinary realities? No. Nothing else even comes close. You can’t begin to imagine, much less describe, anything greater than what already is.

In light of what is, nothing else should surprise us. It should be easy to believe that with God all things are possible.

The healing of the withered hand is not nearly as amazing as the existence of the hand in the first place. If it exists, it follows that it can certainly be fixed when it is broken. The greater event is not in its healing but in its creation.

More phenomenal than resurrection is birth. The greater wonder is not that life, having once existed, could come again but that it ever exists at all.

More amazing than raising the dead is that we live at all. A silent heart that beats again is not nearly as amazing as the heart that beats within your breast right now.

That one could see on a stone or through a special lens the modern translation of ancient text written on plates of gold is far less amazing than the human eye. The wonder is not what the human eye may see, rather, that it sees anything at all.

How can you believe in extraordinary things such as angels and gold plates and your divine potential? Easy, just look around and believe.

I don’t know if pigs will ever sprout wings and fly, but if they do, flying pigs will never be nearly as amazing as the ordinary pig in the first place.”

And it’s so true! Like, look at the sun!? What the heck is that thing!?!?!? It’s a floating giant condensed ball of something that also gives light and heat and just like what?! That’s insane! How does it even work? Who put that there? Who made it? 

And the earth! It’s crazy! What are the odds that everything here has been lined up so perfectly for human life. And look at humans! Where did they come from!?!? They are so weird looking! Reminds me of the part from Alma 30:44 - 

“all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator.”

So I am deciding to accept that I can’t even explain how basic things work, like gravity, the sun, etc. So I shouldn’t be annoyed with the fact that I can’t explain how more extraordinary things work.

Like it says in the Book of Mormon at the beginning of 3 Nefi. There were tons of signs and wonders coming forth to testify of the coming of Christ. At first they were shocked by it, but quickly started to disbelieve the miracles they were seeing. 1 Nefi 1:22 - 

“And it came to pass that from this time forth there began to be lyings sent forth among the people, by Satan, to harden their hearts, to the intent that they might not believe in those signs and wonders which they had seen…”

Anyways, there’s my rant.

I’ve also had the thought lately that God needs us to choose to come back to Him. He needs us to work really hard here. We have to want it. If we don’t get the celestial growth we need here, we will be physically unable to come back to Him in the next life. 

“For he who is not able to abide the law of a celestial kingdom cannot abide a celestial glory.” - D&C 88:22

I love my Heavenly Father. I want to always choose Him. 

“And it came to pass that the God of heaven looked upon the residue of the people, and he wept;

And Enoch said unto the Lord: How is it that thou canst weep, seeing thou art holy, and from all eternity to all eternity? How is it thou canst weep?

The Lord said unto Enoch: Behold these thy brethren; they are the workmanship of mine own hands, and I gave unto them their knowledge, and gave I unto man his agency;

And unto [them] have I given commandment, that they should love one another, and that they should choose me, their Father; but behold, they are without affection, and they hate their own blood;” (Moses 7:28, 29, 32–33,).

But yea anyways, I love being a missionary. If there was a plane outside that would take me home I would run the other way.

Actually assuming my legs are still sore I’d probably have to waddle away slowly and try not to trip over my own feet in the process. But the point is, I love it out here...”

I love you all! I have so many questions, but I know enough about life to know that I want to build it off of the truths taught in the Gospel. I am not kidding at all when I say that the happiest people I have met out here are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or people who are just living the gospel principles anyways. We are all free to choose eternal life, or captivity, hell and damnation. Shouldn't the choice be an easy one?

2 Nefi 2:27-29

27 Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.

    28 And now, my sons, I would that ye should look to the great Mediator, and hearken unto his great commandments; and be faithful unto his words, and choose eternal life, according to the will of his Holy Spirit;

    29 And not choose eternal death, according to the will of the flesh and the evil which is therein, which giveth the spirit of the devil power to captivate, to bring you down to hell, that he may reign over you in his own kingdom.

Alright I’ll see y’all next week! Also both of my companions Elder McKee and Elder Crookston are getting transferred. Gonna miss those guys. I’ll be getting a new companion and also two other elders in our apartment so it’s about to get pretty crazy. 

Love you all

Finished a sisters mission

Klk bacanos

Maria

Last month we met this kid and he kept interrogating me about what my actual name is but I didn’t want to tell it to him so I thought it would be funny if I told him that my name is Maria. After telling him that I told him he can’t tell anybody else because I’m self conscious. That was like a month ago and I totally forgot that I had told him that, but yesterday we saw him and he was like ‘’Hola Maria!!’’ and I was confused at first but it was funny. 

Baptism by Kool Aid

My companion is kind of a clown and tricked me into thinking that he got re-baptized as a missionary. He told me that when he was 8 and got baptized that some kid had dumped kool aid in the water but he got baptized anyway. He then told me that as a missionary he was studying baptism and felt prompted that he needed to be baptized again because the first time he was baptized by kool aid. So he asked his mission president and his mission president had him get rebaptized but not in kool aid. He was super genuine about it and I totally believed it. But looking back, I feel dumb for believing him. That was like two weeks ago that he had told me that story but I didn’t find out it was all a lie until this week. I was kind of upset.

The Mountain

This email is kinda rushed because we went on a hike today at the puerto plata mountain. It was really cool, except the uber who drove us up the mountain was really annoyed with us for making him drive up there and long story short we ended up having to hike down the mountain by ourselves in proselyting clothes. That took most of the day. I’m totally beat right now. But it was worth it because of the sick pictures that we were able to take up there. I don’t have time to upload them all this week but it was pretty sweet. 

New Years

New years eve was terrible. They blasted music the entire night and I didn’t fall asleep till like 3 and then I was super sick the next morning. That’s it.

Spiritual Thought(s)

Things have been super great here in Puerto Plata though. Sometimes I genuinely feel like Ammon when he said that he might preach unto the people there until the day he died. I really really hope I stay here in Puerto Plata long enough to see all of my friends make the progress I know they can get with time. I was sick on new years day with a bad fever so our mission mom had us stay home for the evening. I felt terrible. I just wanted to go out and teach. The next day (and even right now) I don’t feel great physically but I just need to be out teaching or I’m going to lose my mind. I love these people so much. There’s been a couple times visiting with someone where I just want to cry thinking about how much I love them. That sounds kinda weird and they probably don’t really care about me, but I love these people with my whole soul. I am definitely happier when I focus more on them than on myself. 

I know I said last week that I would go through all of the friends who we’re teaching in detail but I don’t have time again. But the work is amazing. I love going out and being guided by the spirit. I feel like I’m getting really good at following it. It just feels so natural knowing exactly who to talk to and exactly what to say. It’s super fun. 

I have so much going through my head that I want to share but sorry. I don’t have the time or patience. But I do think it’s been really insightful for me to see people here contradicting themselves. Everybody believes in God, Christ, the Bible, etc. But then they deny other things that they should believe assuming that they believe in God. 

Anybody who claims to believe in Jesus Christ has to believe in the Book of Mormon. They are inseparable. Just so you know. And if you don’t believe me, you’re just wrong. But you’ll understand if you’ll read the book. 

There is an amazing family that we’re teaching that I love so much. Her name is Solanye. She is so genuine and really wants to know what’s right, but is struggling with doing the basic things that will help her to know if what we’re teaching her is true. 

We read one of my favorite verses with her. Mosiah 4:9. It says

´´9 Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that he has all wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man doth not  comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend´´

After we read it, we asked her: do you believe in God? Do you believe that he created all things? Do you believe that he has all wisdom? Etc. She said yes to all of them. Then we read this part from verse 10 of the same chapter-

‘’if you believe all these things see that ye do them.’’

If any of you believe in God, then make sure you’re keeping His commandments. Our actions are really what show what we believe. So do that.

The power is out again and the phone is gonna die so I g2g. But I love you all very much. Sorry if I am bad at responding. You can still email me though

Adiós

La navidad es buena

 Saludos mis queridos hermanas y hermanos. Aquí estoy con otro correo electrónico. 

Exchanges beard

This week I was out on exchanges for like 3 days straight. But by the end of the three days, I was looking like a wild man. I haven’t gone that long without shaving for like 18 months so it was intense. Our neighbor Daury saw me when I got back and told me (in his broken English) that I “look like a man”. We street contacted this lady who was kinda mean to us. She also had a bit of a mustache. As we walked away my green companion said to me, “her mustache is better than yours”. Not sure if that statement was roasting me or her more, but it was kinda funny. Also it caught me off guard because this elder is like the sweetest guy but then out of nowhere just totally wrecked me and that random dominican lady. It was pretty funny though. 

Ewe

During a lesson we were teaching, and this 3 year old kid just walked in the middle of the room and puked everywhere. It was kinda funny. Then the next day we were street contacting someone and a guy walked in between us and the investigator and tripped while doing so. It was awkward. But before I had the chance to help the guy out he popped right up and said “gloria a Dios” and went on his way. 

Reverse Mosquito Net…?

In my first area here in the DR (Navarrete) I needed a mosquito net super bad. They were insane. My second area here (El Dorado) they weren’t bad at all because we were like 5 floors off the ground. But here in Puerto Plata they have been bad again. However I was secretly kind of happy because I get to use my zapper more and watch them die. I hate mosquitos so much. I feel like the third of the hosts of heaven that rebelled are actually just mosquitos. Sent to earth to torment man. 

So right when I got here I put up my mosquito net. Except it has been more of a curse than a blessing lately. During the day I haven’t done a good job of tying it up to keep the mosquitos from going in, so during the day the mosquitos sneak in. Then at night, I get in my mosquito net and tie it up to keep any from coming in. Genius, except when the mosquitos are already in the net. Instead of keeping them from coming in, it keeps them from going out, giving me like 10 times more mosquitos bites. There were two nights in a row where I literally woke up because of mosquito bite pain. 

Umbrella

Long story short, I really like umbrellas. But I didn’t know I did until like two weeks ago. I’ve had a super nice umbrella my whole mission but I’ve never used it. If it rains I just use my raincoat. But a couple weeks ago I decided to try the umbrella and just totally loved it. It looks super cool and when you press the button and it shoots out it feels like pulling out a lightsaber. So I had a great time using my umbrella because it’s been raining so much lately. But last week I accidentally left it on a bus, and have been really depressed about it since. One of the elders gave me an umbrella replacement, but it just isn’t the same. It doesn’t have the button that just shoots it open so it’s kind of pointless. And I broke the handle of it while trying to open it like a lightsaber. Instead of popping out, the umbrella part flew off. So it’s been tough. This week it rained so much. It was insane. We walked to a lesson and by the time we got there my waterproof shoes were soaked on the inside because of all the puddles I had stepped in. The guy we were teaching saw my situation and let me try to dry my shoes on his stove. It kind of worked. But then after the visit we had to go back out, and I was still umbrellaless. So our friend Ramon gave me a giant plastic bag that I used to protect myself the rest of the night. It was pretty cool. But I looked dumb.

Soul and Sax

We were supposed to prepare a christmas presentation with our zone for our mission christmas activity, so I ended up playing the saxophone which was a ton of fun. It’s been a while since I played it. We borrowed the horn from a member who is really into it as well. After the zone performances we watched the movie “Soul” in spanish by pixar and it was actually super good. Maybe it’s just because I haven’t seen a movie in 18 months, but I was kinda hypnotized the whole time. But it was such a good movie. It had a ton of gospel parallels too. 

Feliz Navidad

Christmas was a normal proselyting day for us which was fun. But in the morning we cooked crepes which was pretty fun.

We also slept the night before under our little christmas tree that my grandma sent me because me and my siblings always slept under the tree christmas eve growing up. 

La Fwance

There’s a lot of people here who are haitian so they speak hatian-creole. That’s also pretty similar to french, so we talk to french speakers occasionally. I talked to one this week and wanted to communicate with them. I have the song ´´Le Festin´´ from Ratatouille memorized, so I sang it to her thinking that she would understand. She didn’t understand anything. 

LA OBRA DEL SEÑOR

I have been so hecka busy and I need to wrap this email up like right now but the work here has been absolutely amazing. Sometimes I feel like I could just live in this little sketch town for a long time. It’s super great. We have a lot of friends coming to church. This week we had 8 that came which was a miracle because when I first got to this area we didn’t have anyone. Next month hopefully a good number of them will choose to be baptized. I wish I had time to write you about each of them individually, but I don’t. Next week I’ll make sure to give you an overview of all of them and their story though. But overall, things are great with la obra. Me encanta la República Dominicana.

Spiritual Thought

Quick thought because I don't have time. We talked to an inactive member and invited her to come back to church. She said yes, and that since she stopped coming life has been harder for her. I feel like we think that life with God makes it harder, but we need to remember that God isn't just there to help us spiritually, but with every aspect of our lives. Remember that. And please read the Book of Mormon every day

Love you guys! Gotta go

Creo que la playa es divertida

 Hey guys!

I wanted to give you guys a lot more deets this week but we played spikeball and frisbee at the beach and ran out of time. So this will also be pretty brief again. We've been really busy here which has been fun but it's harder to keep track of stuff to share with you guys. So sorry about that. Also I did this email in one draft so sorry about any weird stuff in here. Also feliz navidad

Trio Life part. 4

I’m in a trio again which is alright. It’s another new missionary so he’s learning spanish. It’s kind of a struggle though sometimes. During a lesson while talking about Joseph Smith he asked the investigador, ´´how old do you think you are?＂. It was funny. I think he meant to ask how old she thought Joseph Smith was or something but she just looked super confused. 

Dog Attack

We went to throw frisbee at the beach one morning and a giant dog came out of nowhere and tried to eat me. I kept trying to hit him in the face with my foot but he’d dodge and strike. This went on for like a minute and both my companions just watched completely unphased. I was pretty freaked out though. But eventually the dog just ran away so that was nice. 

Dream Stuff

I had a dream last night that my mission was over again. In my dream I was in my room back home feeling sad that it was over and just wishing I could be back and do more. The hardest part of the mission for me is feeling like I’m not doing a good job. And I just want to stay out here as long as I need to do what I am supposed to do. So the dream was really hard for me. But then I woke up and it was P/beach - day so I was doing good.

Spiritual Thought

My amazing mother sent me a quote this week from C.S. Lewis’ ＂the Screwtape Letters＂. If you don’t know what it is, basically it’s about this devil named Screwtape who is writing letters to his nephew Wormwood teaching him how to be a good devil and how to deceive us humans. The quote she sent me was really powerful and gave me a ton more motivation to keep working at my hardest. Here’s the quote. When it refers to ＂the Enemy＂ it is referring to God.

＂The Enemy wants a world full of beings united to Him but still distinct.

And that is where the troughs come in. You must have often wondered why the Enemy does not make more use of His power to be sensibly present to human souls in any degree He chooses and at any moment. But you now see that the Irresistible and the Indisputable are the two weapons which the very nature of His scheme forbids Him to use. Merely to over-ride a human will (as His felt presence in any but the faintest and most mitigated degree would certainly do) would be for Him useless. He cannot ravish. He can only woo. 

He is prepared to do a little overriding at the beginning. He will set them off with communications of His presence which, though faint, seem great to them, with emotional sweetness, and easy conquest over temptation. But He never allows this state of affairs to last long. Sooner or later He withdraws, if not in fact, at least from their conscious experience, all those supports and incentives. He leaves the creature to stand up on its own legs—to carry out from the will alone duties which have lost all relish. It is during such trough periods, much more than during the peak periods, that it is growing into the sort of creature He wants it to be. Hence the prayers offered in the state of dryness are those which please Him best. We can drag our patients along by continual tempting, because we design them only for the table, and the more their will is interfered with the better. He cannot “tempt” to virtue as we do to vice. He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand; and if only the will to walk is really there He is pleased even with their stumbles. Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger, than when a human, no longer desiring, but intending, to do our Enemy’s will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.＂

That hit me really hard. Not gonna lie, sometimes I feel like the Lord really lets me down. Like I’ve done all I thought I was supposed to do and somehow it doesn’t turn out the way that I thought it would. But all of these experiences I’m having will help turn me into every good thing I’m capable of becoming, if I let them do so. 

Last Spiritual Thought

This is something my dad sent me a while ago that I thought was great. It’s from a BYU devotional with a guy named Mitch Davis and John Groberg. The guy from the movie ＂the other side of heaven＂

Mitch Davis: It is so good to be here with my lovely bride, who I also met and courted on this hallowed campus.

Several years ago I had a very dramatic experience regarding trusting the Lord. I was backpacking with my 10-year-old son, two of his friends, and our faithful dog, Pluto, when we were hit by lightning.

We were hiking above timberline when a sudden storm blew in. We pitched our tent, and I put the boys inside their sleeping bags to keep them warm. I started fixing dinner on our little camp stove. Then, suddenly, I was gone.

Although I have no recollection of the lightning hitting me, the boys tell me that it blasted through our tent’s roof and hit me square in the chest and that I flew backward and landed on the floor unconscious with my eyes open but rolled back into my head.

The bulk of the strike passed through my chest and into the dog sitting behind me, killing him. The rest of the lightning curled down my right arm and struck the boy seated next to me, then danced wickedly about the tent, burning holes in sleeping bags and striking the two other boys.

But I knew nothing about this. In my mind, at least, I ceased to exist.

After some time I became aware of myself again. I began to be able to hear, although I could not see or move any part of my body. As if from a great distance I could hear the three boys screaming. I heard my son cry out, “Dad, please don’t die!” One of the boys leaned over and gave me a single puff of artificial respiration. The other promised God he would never do another bad thing in his entire life if Brother Davis would just wake up.

But I couldn’t wake up. I could only lie there, helpless, wondering what in the world had happened to me.

Then I became aware of something else—a dark presence I can only describe as impending death. I felt myself starting to leave mortality and realized my only hope was divine intervention. I fought with every fiber of my being to call on Heavenly Father.

Then a most interesting thing happened. Before I could call on Father, He called on me. Through the unmistakably clear voice of the Spirit, He encouraged me with these simple words: “You served a valiant mission. Ask in confidence.”

Heavenly Father knew I needed extra faith at that moment. He knew I had faith in Him but lacked faith in myself as a worthy recipient of the miracle I so desperately needed. So he sent me that encouraging message: “You served a valiant mission. Ask in confidence.”

I exerted every ounce of faith I had in a fervent, frenzied prayer. Heavenly Father responded by immediately freeing me from death’s grip. I regained consciousness and the strength, several hours later, to hike off the mountain with my boy, his friends, and the body of our dog.

I do not tell you this story for the sake of mere drama, nor to boast about my personal missionary prowess. I assure you I was no more valiant than most missionaries. I tell you this story because of the significance of the Lord’s choice of words to me: When my life literally hung in the balance, all that mattered were my two years of obscure service in the villages of Argentina.

How grateful I was I had decided to go on a mission and that I had worked hard once I got there! I remembered the words of my great BYU stake president, Robert K. Thomas: “If you’re almost worthy, almost willing to make the sacrifice, you’ll almost get the blessing.” I wondered what the Lord would have said to me on that mountain had I almost decided to serve a mission.

I am so grateful the Lord Jesus Christ didn’t “almost” atone for our sins. I am grateful Elder John Groberg didn’t “almost” serve a valiant mission, and I know that he is grateful that Jean didn’t “almost” wait for him.

Today, especially, I am grateful for you: the blessed, beloved students of this, “the Lord’s university.” You each have your own missions—past, present, and future. May you fulfill them valiantly, faithfully, fearlessly.

And during the dark times, may you hear the voice of the Lord whispering encouragement to you. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

I love you all so much. I have a testimony of the gospel. That testimony has been tested out here a lot actually, but it’s also grown in ways I didn’t think it would. Also reading the Book of Mormon has changed my life. I hope you are all studying that. It’s God’s book.

Hola

Sorry this email is going to be super bad! I decided to take a nap this P-day and was out for longer than I should have been so I don't have a lot of time. 

This week was kind of a pain because we've been working super hard but nobody is really doing anything. We had so many people committed to church and hardly anybody came. So that's been hard but we're still working at it.

The Book of Mormon is my best friend. I literally could not survive without it. I have been reading a ton more lately and it's brought mucho paz a mi alma. I would encourage you all to study it too. It's a good read. 

Next week I promise I'll do better with the email. And feel free to email me if you can! I'd love to know how y'all are doing. 

Also the phone was being weird so I had to send the photos in a different email. Enjoy

Adios
