Happy New Year's

By Elder Zach Seager -

This week was super dope! We have a baptism this Saturday.  I'm pumped and the word is super pumped! We are working super hard here and finding a lot of new people to teach! It's super cool to be in a little bit more poor zone.  A lot of times I ask them are you guys happy? I wonder because I see members with like two pairs of clothes or people that are super sick. Almost all the members say yes elder we are happy and we are happy because we have this blessing of knowing the gospel and having a chapel by our house! They love the gospel and I think it's so cute because they have taught me that our spirits need food just as much as our bodies need food. For example, I love eating a good old peanut butter sandwich that has jam, peanut butter, and bread - 3 simple things right! Our spirits need 3 simple things to progress and be happy here on this earth.
  1. praying
  2. reading the scriptures - BOM (Book of Mormon)  :)
  3. going to church 
With these 3 things, our bodies and minds can be happier. The more spiritual sandwiches we eat the more we feel the love of God in our lives! 

We went singing with all the boys in the church this week and sang Christmas songs to people in the street and to people who haven't been to church much. It was really cool and spiritual! The joy of the spirit is everlasting and that's something I have realized in my mission.  There's a big difference between joy and fun because joy is everlasting and fun is temporary! It's cool though to contact people or families in the streets and tell them about the message we have about joy and how they can feel this joy forever! 

I'm now finding my path here on the mission. I am realizing that the gospel is true and with the more exercise I get the stronger my testimony gets! I hope you guys are able to have a great week and hopefully go skiing for me! It's like 100 degrees here and it's so weird not having a white Christmas!  hahahahah 

yew love you guys

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
