¡holaaaa y'all!
I hope everyone is doing so so well bc life is really just so good. This week was crazy!! I can't remember how much I explained in my last email, but now with my new assignments to help out some other missionaries and also run a handful of Facebook pages, things are way busier than they were before but I am lovvving it. I had my first few meetings that go along with these assignments, and I already know it's going to be such a party. I get to work so much more with other missionaries and I get to share my ideas and opinions way more, plus listening to others people's ideas and opinions. It's a blast.
Since we've been so busy with those things though, we didn't have a ton of time to talk to amigos that aren't missionaries, but the ones that we did talk to are the coolest ever. We have the Martinez family and then Brandy and her family and they are the BEST. We had dinner with Brandy's family for Father's Day yesterday, and that was my first time having real real Mexican food in a hot little minute and it was sooooo good wow.
Today for my ~pequeño~ spiritual thought, we're going to dive right into one of the best stories in the Book of Mormon: Abinadi. If you haven't heard of him before, he was an incredibly faithful and diligent prophet who never denied what he knew to be true. He preached to so many wicked people and tried to help save them, but they never listened, and eventually the king of this land sentenced Abinadi to be killed if he didn't take back his preachings. Bc of his great faith of course he didn't take back what he had taught. He knew it was true, and he knew that God knew it was true. "BUT THERE WAS ONE among them whose name was Alma. . . and he believed the words which Abinadi has spoken" (Mosiah 16:2). I don't want to spoil the whole story here, but basically what happened was Alma, the ONE who listened and believed Abinadi, was changed. Then after acting on what he heard and believed, he changed the world of the Lamanites. He was only one person. Abinadi was only one person. But their faith and actions will never, ever, ever be forgotten. Jesus Christ was one person. Actually he was the Only Begotten One son of God. The difference he made changed not only the world, but eternity. You are one person. I am one person. Our potential to change the world is unlimited, but only if we act upon it. By touching the life of only ONE person and showing genuine love each day, the world will not stay the same. It will constantly get better:)
But hey, I love y'all a whole whole bunch and I hope you never forget it! Also if you go and read through Abinadi and his story, let me know! I'd love to hear your thoughts:) (and if you need a Book of Mormon first I know where you can get one!!)
Con amor,
