Can you believe we´re already in May? Time just keeps flying...

This last week was good- we had Zone Conference, which I always love. We talked about a lot of stuff, but the scripture that was used the most was Alma 26:22 which talks about how they were able to baptized millions of souls. They repented, excercised faith, did good works, and prayed without ceasing; because of this they were able to learn the mysteries of the Lord, reveal things that had never before been revealed, and brought thousands unto repentance and baptism. Meanwhile, verse 30 talks about how they suffered all species of suffering as well...success never comes easily! I think when we read the stories about the great prophets and missionaries in the Book of Mormon (and the Bible) it is easy to see and remember the successes that they had, and forget about all that they suffered and endured before reaching that end or point. I´ve been reading in Alma, around chapter 12-15, when Alma and Amuleque are preaching to the people in the city of Amonia. They are an amazing example of continuing faith and trust in the Lord in the midst of trials...we really can learn so much from the Book of Mormon that helps us now, in our lives. I am so grateful for the second witness that we have that Jesus Christ is our redeemer, and that we have the plenitude of the gospel in this book.

Today being the first pday of the month, we had the chance to leave our zone. Our zone had a lunch and games day...we played basketball, frisbee, and football. The weather is beautiful here now, and it was so fun to just be able to play outside!

I hope that you all have a great week! Happy early mother´s day :D
