Hola Everyone!

 

I am doing so great here in la CCM this week! I truly love it here but of course with everything going so well you will have the things that do not go so well. I have been struggling a lot lately with all the responisbility that has been put upon me. I know that this experience is not going to be easy one bit if it was then anyone could do it. I have been gaining a stronger testimony of the power of prayer and thank you for that comment Andi. I know that I just need to trun to him when I am feeling down at all because as I saw in PMG today the world sees only part of you which is the top of a iceberg. But the Lord and Heavenly Father can see the mojority of you that is underneath the water. I love know that there are people in my life that know me, ALL OF ME.

 

But on a more happy note 5 minutes before sacrament meeting on Sunday my Branch President, President Wilkins came over to me and my companion and asked us if we could come outside for a second to talk with him real quick. So we proceeded to go outside and speak to him wondering what he could possibly want with two Elders that have only been here for 1 1/2 weeks. He goes on to say that the oldest district is leaving tomorrow night and that they have a calling that is needing to be fulfilled. He goes on to ask my companion and I if we would be able to step into the calling of Zone Leaders! I was taken back and ingulfed in the Spirit thinking to myself that I have only been here for such a short time and that now I am having to step into a position and be called of God to lead our zone. How amazing these days have been following this calling. I am not going to lie and say they have been perfect because yesterday was the hardest day that I have had so far and I was really putting myself down. But I went the newest district and asked them if they could while studying the scriptures they could find something that could possibly help me and so they did and I was truly comforted by the Spirit to know that I must put my faith in Him and give him all that I have for if I do not then that is when the adversary comes into my mind and tries to corrupt me.

 

I have praying a lot lately in Spanish and am still having a really rough time with the language but I know now that as long as the Lord is on my side that I have concords of angels and fiery chariots fighting with me the battle agains Satan. (2 Kings 6) I love how much I am able to grow here and all the amazing testimonies I am able to hear every day as I am able to get to know more personaly every missionary in my zone as a zone leader. The responisblity ways heavy but that is not the bad thing I would be not helping myself if I thought that this was going to be easy or if that when it gets hard I give up. I HAVE BEEN CALLED OF GOD! No evil spirit can control me or what I think for if he could than where would be my agency to follow God for that is the path that I have chosen and would hope that is the path that you have chosen also. The Celestial Kingdom awaits us and it is our desicion if we want to go there or not and I don't know if you have already answered this question but if you have not find an answer for it is truly your choice which Kingdom you want to be in, in the next life.

Love Elder Marse
