Week 56

it has been a very good week so here it was "semana santa" HOLY WEEK haha for easter and we had to be in the house at 7 at night on thursday friday and saturday but we were still able to teach alot of lessons..wohoooo!!! we had 2 investigators that came to church and that made me pretty happy becuase it has been like 2 months since investigators have came to church here in this area there names our erendira and her husband ahah cuz i forgot his name but they are so awesome they have 2 cute little girls who i just want to kiss and hug haha but i cant booo :/ haha they have a baby who only has like 8 months and then a 5 year old and they are so cute erendira her mom and dad and sisters just barely got baptized and she really wants to get baptized but shes not married and she lives with her boyfriend but he is awesome too so please please pray with all of your heart that they can get married we are really trying our hardest to teach eternal marriage and how happy there family can be and our last lesson went really good so.. i know a guy who can marry them for cheap so im gonna talk to him and on wendsday when we go visit them im jsut gonna be like hey i got the guy lets go its lall ready and then we can baptize them wohooo...we taught a guy who just got out of prision this week he has been there for 6 years and his family is member and he is a member and i cant tell you how strong th spirit was as we bore our testimonys on the healing power of christs atonement he told us he is going to come back to church.. and then last night we taught a 27 year old who is les active and it was a sad lesson he just wanted to argue with us and tell us that he doesnt need god in his life and stuff he was a really nice guy but he was jsut so lost and it was hard for me and my companion we just tried our hardest to tell him that we know that the gospel helps but he has kind of gone of the deep end but were gonna keep working with him and its all right because he gave us tamales after wich our my favorite wohooo 

this talk is what we shared with almost all of the less actives we taught this week that i cut out of a liahona and taped into my scriptures ahaha if there is one thing that i have learned and am still learning every single day its this that when the hard times come or maybe when we think im doing everythign right why is god not blessing me more that god knows us perfectly and he has greater plans for us sometimes its us that need to change that like  an umbrella we cant see the blessings in our live becasue we have sinds or questions every single one of us needs to learn to be obedient that god doesnt put these commandments and these things in our lives to punish us he does it cuz he loves us and he wants us to be happy."AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIND TRUE HAPPINESS IS TO OBEY GOD"

i love you all so much and im grateful for you

Perhaps during [hard times], we might find ourselves asking, ‘Do we really need to obey all of God’s commandments?’
“My response to this question is simple:
“I think God knows something we don’t—things that are beyond our capacity to comprehend! Our Father in Heaven is an eternal being whose experience, wisdom, and intelligence are infinitely greater than ours. [SeeIsaiah 55:9.] …
“Part of our challenge is, I think, that we imagine that God has all of His blessings locked in a huge cloud up in heaven, refusing to give them to us unless we comply with some strict, paternalistic requirements He has set up. But the commandments aren’t like that at all. In reality, Heavenly Father is constantly raining blessings upon us. It is our fear, doubt, and sin that, like an umbrella, block these blessings from reaching us.
“His commandments are the loving instructions and the divine help for us to close the umbrella so we can receive the shower of heavenly blessings.”
