Looking for Christ

The Quartet

To tell you the truth, so much and yet so little has happened in these las few weeks I don't even know where to start. There's so much to explain, but I feel like if I just gave a brief overview it wouldn't be able to say it all. But I'll tell you some things that I have learned from these experiences my past few weeks: God is a god of Miracles. I have seen it. But oftentimes these miracles don't happen in the way or the moment we'd like them too. Fasting, prayers, and other acts of faith in the Lord can save and change lives, following the will and plan of the Lord. ( If we aren't living the simple things, how can we expect to receive and see the end goal, and big blessings. I have recently that this is the truth, and it's easy when all the world is thrown at you and everything is going wrong to say that there's no time, the big end goal is out of reach, so how important is it to do the simple things ... but by small and simple things, done with consistency, the Lord works miracles. He understands how naturally we are inconsistent, for this He has given His son to help us move forward and have the power to change. And this moving forward brings joy, even when difficult. La Salud. Health is one of the biggest and least recognized or understood blessings that we have. How marvelous is it to run, jump, talk, breathe, eat ...What marvelous blessing we have every day that we just are too blind to see. I have a new companion and another has made it home safe and sound. I'm so grateful for my companion Elder Ek, he has taught me so much in our time together, it has brought me so much joy to be by the side of him and Elder Pedro, serving the Lord in whatever way possible. What an example of joy despite our circumstances. Now I have another new companion, Elder Garrido, straight outta Simoca and to the office. I am so excited for all that I will be able to learn from him and our time together here. I just want to share my testimony of Christ. I know He lives, because I have seen His influence in my life and those around me. I have seen that applying His teachings, changes us, little by little. As I have reflected on the things that I wish for my life and for others, that Christ, the truth of His restored Gospel and His plan, our what will help us to reach these just hopes for our lives. I know and have seen that there are so many people looking for peace, change, unity, freedom, and joy in their lives ... everyone ... and whether they know it or not yet ... they are looking for Christ.

love you all, Elder Shepherd 2 Nefi 2:26, it's so good. The Quartet
