 Is 80% humidad normal?

Hi everyone, gonna be a short one today because Im in Salta trying to get legal. Probably a good idea.

Anyway, here's a little note for the week:

Alma5:

14

...Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?

I love the esperanza/hope that we have thanks to Jesucristo, that thanks to Him we can change, experience a 'mighty change of heart,' be born again of the Spririt, and continúe pressing forward.

I love that With Him, change, repentance can be a thing of Joy. I love that we can look at ourselves everyday and continúe to 'make that change.' Its easy to think that the world or those around us need to change, but more times than less, if we can be humble, we will find that we are needing to change. And He will help us to see, to have an example, and to make the change if we let Him.

Alma 5:14, Mosíah27:25-26, Alma7:14-15

Ponga Su Confianza en Nuestro Padre Celestial

Heeeeey, how is everybody? Hope super good. Welcome back to Simoca. It's been a super good week here, and well...I guess I'll tell ya 'bout it. I've been reading a lot about the way of the Lord versus the way of the world, and how we can overcome and acercarnos/come closer to Him in this world. So here it is, Ponga Su Confianza en Nuestro Padre Celestial/Put Your Trust in our Heavenly Father. He knows each and everyone of His children, individually, by name.

I know that we have a loving Father in Heaven, that he has a plan for each and every one of us. That he gave us life, full of trials and challenges to help us grow to become like Him. And that he gave us families to help us along the way. I know that he loves us so much that he sent his son, Jesus Christ, to show us the way, to show us the love of the Father, and to give His life so that we can all have the chance to live again and the promise that if we follow Him and enter into His fold, we can live with our families forever. We exist, and exist that we might have joy. (2Nefi2:25, 2Nefi11:7). He knows all. 2Nefi9: 20 ¡Oh, cuán grande es la asantidad de nuestro Dios! Pues él bsabe todas las cosas, y no existe nada sin que él lo sepa. 20 O how great the aholiness of our God! For he bknoweth call things, and there is not anything save he knows it. We can trust that he has a plan and a path for us. I testify that He really does, out of His love for us, and if we can trust in Him, we will find the joy and blessings He has waiting for us. We will never completely understand the reasons for everything in this life, but if our Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ is in our focus, we will see more of the light in this world, and He will give us the light we need to take our next step of faith. We will find strength and hope in Him in the midst of the trials, hills, and valleys of this world. Matthew11: 28 ¶ aCome unto me, all ye that blabour and are heavy laden, and I will give you crest. 29 Take my ayoke upon you, and blearn of me; for I am cmeek and dlowly in eheart: and ye shall find frest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is aeasy, and my burden is light. Christ is the only, él unico. In this world of confusion (2Nefi15:20), He is the light. 3Nefi18: 24 Therefore, hold up your alight that it may shine unto the world. Behold I am the blight which ye shall hold up—that which ye have seen me do. He has called us to share this light with the world, to help guide others to Him, and to share His love with all. And how will we answer His call, I hope something like this: 2Nefi16 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: aWhom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said: Here am I; send me. This here is Marcelo, an example to me of how to share the light of Christ with the world. We found him and his family thanks to a miracle, actually I could probably count quite a few miracles I've seen in our time with him, and I know that his Father in Heaven knows him individually, and that He was prepping this path for him, to enter into the fold of his Salvador, of the Good Shepherd, Jesucristo. Marcelo has such a strong desire to learn more about the gospel and his Savior. And he already has been sharing it, this 🔆light🔆, with others. He is coming to Church every week, and helping his family to do so as well, helping his parents to remember why they were baptized all these years ago. One week he even invited his cousin, what a champ. I am so proud of him, the example he has set, the smile he always has, the desire he has to follow his Savior, and I know that he will continue to share this light with the world, and I hope that we can all follow his example.

Lots of Sun, ¡¡Vamos a compartir esta luz!! ¡¡Let's go to share this light!!

For the World

Going to the save a bigger email for next week, but heres a little bit to get you through the week. https://www.instagram.com/p/CqjNFJBgxeb/ La Caridad de Cristo Moroni 7:45-47 Christ taught that we should love others, even to pray for and serve our enemys. And La Caridad/Charity, is the pure love of Christ, it is a gift that we can work to develop. It is amor/love that permanece para siempre, that stays forever. No matter how he was treated, how difficult his life was, Christ loved the people, even those who hurt, hated, and killed Him. I know that this invitacion of the Profet was inspired for these days, for this time, and we can change our lives and those of the world, one little step at a time by following His invitaciom. So I invite you all, members of the Church or not, to watch this video and to follow the invitacion of the Profet, whose message is for the whole world. For the benefit of the world. Also think I had the dengue.👍

Todas las Cosas son Símbolos de Él

Welcome back to the beautiful promised land of Simoca. It was transfers last week, Elder Brizuela headed off to Santiago. He is a great missionary and was a great trainer, couldn't have asked for better and it was clear that we were called together to help each other in this time and help each other to continue to grow and serve. Bienvenidos a Elder Donoso, he is almost finishing his mission, about 2 months left now. And Bueno, it's been a good week. And I have seen miracles. The Good Shepherd has a way of preparing his ovejas perdidos/lost sheep to return to the fold. Alright, let's catch you up. There is a family. And the mom of the Dad of this family was really sick, and in the hospital, couldn't breath and was on respirators. We had never met her, but the family had told us about the situacion and so Elder Brizuela and I had been praying for her. This week, Wednesday, we were in the house of the family, and we got the word that the mom had recovered! She was all better and back in her house. Marvelous. Friday Night. We get a reference from our Facebook page, someone who wants to learn more about the church and where they can find the church, we call them, but the connection is basura/garbage, so we just send them a message with the location of the Church and that we could meet at another time. Saturday morning, we had an appointment with someone in the morning in Barrio Alfonsin (a neighborhood), but it fell through. So we went to our Plan B, no...Plan C?...no. D...E....F...G............ All our plans were falling through, but we knew that this reference who we had tried to call the night before lived in this area, and so we called them again, and this time it was better. They sent us their location and it was super close, and they were like come over and so we ran over there. And Low and Behold... we entered and greeted them, and there she was, the Hermana (mom of the dad of this family) that we had been praying for, and she greeted us with a smile. And she was there with her son, his wife, and kids. A family. We had a lesson together about Jesucristo and his example for us in this life, and the path he showed us that we should walk, and how it can bless our families. Now, the family is prepping to follow this path, and the example of Jesucristo. This world is far from perfect, but the scriptures teach us that with fe/faith in Dios we can have the esperanza(my favorite word ever, Hope) of a mundo mejor/better world(Éter12:4). I think a lot of this applies to the life after this life...but at the same time, I think that there is a lot to do with this life. Fe,Faith When have faith in Christ and when we can focus on Him, in the midst of the storms of this life we can move forward, with just enough light to take the next step, and the esperanza/hope that thanks to Him with are never truly lost in this life, we have never fallen too far, and that we can always move forward. And to know that when we do, we can find a mundo mejor. And that does not necessarily mean the world around us or the circumstances of our life have changed. But I have really come to see that one of the favorite sayings of my mom is true, "We cannot change the winds, but we can adjust our sails." With our perspective in this life set on Cristo and His plan for us, we can find peace, joy, and esperanza where we normally would not.

2N11:7 There is a Christ I can testify that there is a Christ that he lives, that he is The Good Shepherd, and that he loves each and every one of His sheep, every child of God. And because of this... 2N9:21,22 El nos dio su vida He gave his life for us for every man, woman, and child. Every person who has ever lived, He gave His life for them, and He knows them and there struggles and pains. He knows You. And thanks to Him all will live again. 2N11:4 All Things Point to Him Everything that God has given us is a sign of Him, a symbol of our Savior. Look to the Stars, the trees, or the rising sun, all things point to Him. 2N12:5 Caminemos a la luz del Senor, Walk in His Light He has shown us the way and given us the light to walk His path. 2N10:23 Choose His Path But equally important, our loving Heavenly Father has given us the freedom to choose this path for nosotros mismos/for ourselves. 2N9:41 He is the only Path It is soley by Him, His path, His life... ...by which we can find 2N9:18 gozo completo para siempre Joy, that will be full forever. In Him, we can find joy in this life, and more in the presence of Him for eternity. I invite you to look for this light that He has given us, look for the good in the World, and write something down every day that you are greatful for in this world. And I know that as we do this, we will come to find more of this joy, light, and esperanza in Him.
