Waterfall

By Elder Zach Seager -
This was a really good week.  I have been working with several people and it is great to see their progression.  It is also amazing to see tiny miracles that occur every day.  I met a girl and her two sons who has been struggling with addiction.  She is a member, but has not been to church in over five years.  We talked her into coming to church and she was feeling uncomfortable about coming and felt like the ward had judged her for some of her addictions.  She was afraid to go back to church alone.  We walked her to church and sat with her.  Another investigator we have been working with promised to come to church too.  She sat right behind the girl we brought back to church.  After Sacrament meeting, the investigator saw the girl we brought back to church and was so happy.  They had been life long friends and hadn't seen each other in ten years.  It was exactly what they both needed to feel connected and comfortable at church.  They both went off together to Sunday School without needing us.  It was great!  

We hiked up to a waterfall today.  The waterfall wasn't really that big but it was a great hike!  The city was so pretty and awesome to see from up above it.  It was good to get up above the air pollution and to be in the mountains.  I really miss the mountains.  My ankle is recovering well from my soccer injury several weeks ago. 

Have a great week!

La Actitud Es Todo!

Attitude is everything!  Today was awesome! I played soccer and was able to see Elder Chase Ebeling!  So great!   This week was really good. It is frustrating you can't go knock on doors to talk to people and yelling through the gates gets old.  We kept at it all week and were able to talk to a man who was interested in reading the Book of Mormon and also talked to another man on the bus.   The man on the bus knew very little about missionaries other than we were nice to everyone. He wanted to read the Book of Mormon so we gave him one and referred him to missionaries in his area. We had a baptism on Saturday for this dope 13 year old boy who already knows so much about the church.  I confirmed him on Sunday in Sacrament Meeting in my broken Spanish.  He was so happy and understood what I said so it all worked out.   I kept thinking this week about the time that our family took food and supplies to the African refuge...

Hump Day and Liv's Birthday!

This last year has been crazy with some of the best moments of my life and some of the hardest / worst moments of my life!  Here's what I have learned this past year: God answers prayers! If we read, pray, listen to the holy ghost, and write down our feelings, God will answer our prayers! The gospel brings joy and happiness in our lives. The Book of Mormon is true and blesses our lives! I've read the Book of Mormon twice since I've been out here on my mission. It's so much more fun and easier to read than the New Testament and the Old Testament. The Book of Mormon keeps the doctrine so simple and makes it so everyone can understand it!  Joseph Smith was a true prophet! I have had the chance over the past year to teach a lot of Lesson 1 which is the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ! It's been crazy because there's one point in there that talks about how Joseph Smith saw Jesus Christ and God. Every time we share it, the Spirit fills the roo...

Loving it ...

My companion and I taught Priesthood this week.  We taught from the book Christ's Ideals for Living on the attributes of Christ.  That book is awesome.  We taught about 65 elders and it went well I think.  My companion was sick this past week and I was able to give him a blessing. He got feeling better the next day.  It was super dope. I love Alma 38.  If you get a chance go read it and replace the name son with your name.   It's the best. I am loving it here.  I love the Mexican people, the noises at night - haha - gun shots, fireworks and dogs barking all the time.  There is nothing better!  I only have about 3 weeks left here.  It is going fast.   Below is a picture of me with the head chef Estabon.  He is such a freaking bro!   #godsarmyletsgo Elder Seager
