tim ba miskitu Aku pain sa

February 24

well, this has been a really pain (good) week. well, not really in some aspects but in others, really cool! Pretty much my dream since I came to the mision was to learn miskitu (this crazy language out in Puerto Cabezas) well seems as though that has come to pass! funny how things work out and how also, If anyone wants to learn miskitu too we can all learn in wikibooks!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miskito_grammar isnt that exciting! go learn the miskitu!!!!!!!!! just kidding but you could understand a little bit more about how it is...

well, the gospel is true! and the church is too! isnt that great and everything? also, the church is guided by leaders who recieve revalation de Dios . Which is also great! I love the gospel. and I know this work is true and I will learn this language!!!!

nanara miskitu bila smalkisa

February 17

well to my uttermost joy I have been given the opportunity to really learn miskitu as I have been called to be a miskitu misionero!!! wow that is super cool! also, well it is a big deal and I am really humbled by this new responsibility. I can't wait to tell you all what grand things the Lord has in store as I continue on in this amazing adventure of serving the Lord. and most of all establishing the true Church en Nicaragua especially puerto cabezas! this is a special people and God has many blessings prepared for them and everyone that choses to follow him!!

also, I would like to talk a little bit about the importance of the family and the plan of salvation. It is one of the most consoling parts of the true gospel: the security that we are going to be able to be with our families again. In the life to come and that we will see them again. The majority of the people in the world believe in a life after this life but not everyone has the security and a knowing. that there is something prepared for us after this life but we know because we have this faith in our Savior and his teachings. Let us share this with others so that they may receive this peace in their hearts also.

Well things are going great. Sometimes better, sometimes not so well, but it really depends on your attitude. almost always we most easily notice the negative of a situation or person very quickly. But, we are very slow to notice our own weaknesses. It is so important that we try to see the best in everyone and try to better ourselves. Also, many times we envy others for the good things that happen in their lives, while we should be happy for them. For example, in the case of farming sometimes someone needs the sun while in other occasions someone may be praying for the rain, shouldn´t we be happy that what may happen--sun or rain--God is answering someone´s prayer? 

Let us be happy for others, see the blessing of everyday and everything. Maybe it might not be for our favor, but for at least one of God´s many children out there he is blessing in some manner. So let us not be so down about the rain that might of fell on our parade, when that rain may have put the fire out on someone´s house. It is a strange example but,\ to me it is true. Be happy for the victories of those around you and know that blessings aren´t far out of sight for you.

aisabi!

Crazy how fast time passes! within a couple weeks I will have eight months here in puerto, one of the greatest places on earth. I love it so much! and this awesome people! the work is going pretty great especially in the miskitu meeting. there were like eight confirmaciones last night ... so that is really good! I love trying to find the little amazing blessings that the lord grants unto us everyday. The oportunidad to brighten someone's day, the beautiful sky and surroundings, modern medicine even in third world countries. a member had appendicitis last week and as soon as she got to the hospital to get some treatment for her stomach pains they sent her to the operating room and got her appendix out and yep go modern medicine! even if here they send you home a little soon after your surgery... but at least there are good doctors to treat the people and stuff. oh ok back to the list of good things umm... really good ice cream in isolated port towns on the caribbean coast of nicaragua. dairy products.... among other amazing blessings from the Lord on a more serious side the sacrifice that Jesus did for us. And the blessing of repentance and forgiveness. true forgiveness that leaves sins red as crimson, white as snow.
Enjoy the love the Savior has for you and spread to those who don´t feel it.

kasak man luks!
