Let prayer lift us high like a butterfly in the sky

By Elder Zach Seager -


I love being district leader and helping out the guys out here! I am feeling really good and had some really powerful studies this week about prayer. Alma 37 37! "Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yeah, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day."

It was cool to see how the Lord wants to hear us pray and we need to work hard on it every day - so cool. I was also able to baptize a girl named Flor. When I got in the water with her I could feel God's love for her and how happy God was that she took that first step in her life! When she came out of the water she started crying. So cool seeing people change their lives out here and back home! Flor’s story is crazy cool she stopped working on Sundays. She then started going to church, then she said I know I need to go to church and sacrifice two hours of my Sunday so that I can receive more blessings for the week and feel the Spirit the whole week! So cool she understands the gospel so well and just wants to keep learning! We had a family home evening with her and she really liked it this week. We also went to this old old old man who may be dying and I don't really like passing for him because he's old and can barely talk, but I felt the still small voice of the Holy Ghost tell me that we needed to stop by and help out this man. We went in to visit him and this man had been praying for one month that we would stop by and help him read from the Book of Mormon and help him feel the Holy Ghost again in his life! Just super cool to see how God wants to hear our prayers and wants to answer them as well!

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
