Receiving Personal Revelation

Dear family,

Well this week, was a rather tough one as I was seeking revelation personla, with that decision on when I should come home. I studied so hard because I truly do love the work and the people here like you have no idea, like I would love to bring you guys down and you can meet them and spend time here and I know you too would fall in love with it! 

Also, if I was to go home in July I would be extending my mission, not by much but I would have to ask for permission. So I took everything into account. So as I was studying some things started to come into my head, saying "confine en me", which in English means "trust in me." It was hard and I didn´t really understand at first but the more I pondered and studied, I felt and understood that I need to put my life in God´s hands. There is a reason he made it so I would be home in May not in July, as to why I am not sure yet, but I am putting my trust in him and letting him lead my life. So I am not extending my mission and I will be coming home the end of May. Believe me I have gotten a lot of grieve for it and what not but I truly feel its what the Lord has in plan for me! So it was a really great experience and one I won´t forget! 

Also, as I read in the Book of Mormon there is something that has been calling my attention which is found in Alma 37:6-7. Where its talking about small and simple things bring to pass great and better things!! So maybe you all can read it, and ponder about it. Where are some of the small things that we can do to change that bigger and greater things will come to pass in our lifes for it?? Maybe its things that we want and like but are not in line with the Will of our Heavenly Father´s will! Just some things to think about. Thank you all for your love and support, have a great week! 

I love you mother to the moon and back and then some. 

I love you all, and have a great week, remember to never let your praying knees get lazy!! Con mucho amor,

MOM: 

Dear Elder,

I just read your letter home to the family and I am crying.  1. Because you are coming home 2. Because I can’t imagine the inner turmoil you were dealing with.  and 3. Because I am so proud of you for putting your trust in our Father in Heaven.  You are truly an example of a Son of God.

I love you to the moon and back and then some!

Love,

mom

thanks mom, it was seriously so hard there is only one other missionary going home with me everyone else in my group is extending and going home in July. So believe me we have heard it all cause we had a multizone and we got to see a lot of our group and during lunch that was a main subject that got passed around....
