Hey family!
Do you know another awesome holiday that
apparently doesn´t exist in Mexico? Pioneer Day. I was severely bummed
by the lack of parades and community plays that happens here on the
24th. That being said, Saturday
they did make me steak and mashed potatoes (first mashed taters since
leaving the states.. I almost cried) sooooo... I guess I´ll live. :)
We have found a lot of new people the past couple of
weeks, and we have been told that 9 times out of 10 we should start
with the message of the Restauracion. Hence, we have been talking a lot
about the apostasy, Joseph Smith, The Book of Mormon, etc. When we talk
about the first vision, we always talk about the background of the
experience, o sea, the religion tension, the questions the Joseph Smith
had, and, most importantly, the scripture that he read in James 1:5. "If
any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God that giveth to all men
liberally and upbraideth not and it shall be given him."
What do you think of when you hear that scripture?
This week I have realized that throughout my life I have really only
applied that scripture to this specific situation. Like, "If you have a
question about which church is true, or about the Book of Mormon, you
can ask God and he will tell you that it´s true." Without a doubt, God
answers this question quickly and strongly... the evidence of which I
have seen and experienced more times than I could ever count in my time
as one of the Lord's missionaries. However, the scripture does not
specify what kind of question or "lack of wisdom" that God will help you
with. He is our Father, and as such is eager and willing to answer ALL
of our questions. "Ask and ye shall receive, knock and it shall be
opened unto you." There is nothing we can do as individuals that is
more important than prayer. We need that open communication with Deity
to receive the wisdom we need in EVERY situation. I have read and heard
and seen so many evidences of that this week that I am in awe.
So anyroad.. I invite all of you to rely more fully on the Lord. Promise it will make you a lot happier.
What
else happened this week... Oh! This morning Hermana Ayala and I decided
to go to Plaza Altabrisa, because we always pass it on the way to Cura
Hueso and, well, we wanted to see it on the inside. It is SO NICE. I am
not joking. Like Prada and Steve Madden and Ralph Lauren nice. I felt
very very very out of place. It was more like a museum than a store. We
went to a cheap little place kind of like Claire´s to buy ourselves
rings to help us remember to as for references. We´re really bad at
that. :) haha oops.
GOOD LUCK TODD!!! How exciting to have another
cousin join the ranks! I know he will do great things! I am so lucky to
be a part of the Moser/ Browning clan! I will be forever grateful for
the examples I have in my parents, siblings, grandparents, uncles,
aunts, and cousins. Ya´ll are the best.
I know it might be hard to enjoy the Browning
reunion this year without... well, without me.. but try really hard to
have fun, okay? I promise that I´ll be there next year to liven the
party. :) HAHA Joking. Have a lot of fun and take lots of pictures,
porfa!
i love you I love you i love you!
