Princess 7

Well well well, I bet you're wondering why you're reading this! I imagine because you love me, and miss me soooo much hehe, sorry idk why I even put that. But anyways hope you've all been well. This week was pretty solid. And these past few weeks have been fun. But the interesting thing is, my new companion went to another area which we didn't think would happen, I am in a trio again! My third trio now, but I'm enjoying it. They are (Elder Croft, Elder Killpack). Elder killpack actually swam a lot before the mission so we Relate on that. Elder croft is pretty goofy, and they were actually companions in the MTC (missionary training center) which was around 4 months ago for them haha. So it was kinda weird that they got put back together again with me. They have a few inside jokes here and there. I can't remember if I talked about our Nicaraguan friend before or not, but I found him on facebook just adding latinos in our area and I invited him to Xmas Eve church and bro actually came! It was my first time having that work, and it was lit. But now he actually is going to be baptized!! This Saturday he will be baptized and I will have the opportunity to baptize him. He is super humble and he has such a desire to follow the savior and live the restored gospel and join the restored church of Jesus Christ!


Explanation of title
Me and elder Killpack were out knocking (Elder Croft had to go to another area for a day) and we met this woman who told us her name was Nancy, an interesting older woman with a tiara on her head, an eagles Hoodia, and a long skirt. After she told us her name she said, "that's not my real name though" and we said, "what's your real name?" She told me to lean in so she could whisper it, and she said, "In heaven my name is Princess 7!" and she later talked about how the king had died and how she now reigns, do it was something else, but a pretty funny interaction!


I am just over 18 months in my mission now, I'm grateful for the time I still have to be here and serve the lord, it definitely has its hard times, sometimes I want to listen to some music maybe some joji haha or watch a good new movie, but I know through my obedience and desire to always have the spirit with me I will be able to share the light of christ better.


Quick thought
Alma 5: 33-34 (In the book of mormon, Read it!)


33 Behold, he sendeth an invitation unto all men, for the arms of mercy are extended towards them, and he saith: Repent, and I will receive you. 


34 Yea, he saith: Come unto me and ye shall partake of the fruit of the tree of life; yea, ye shall eat and drink of the bread and the waters of life freely;


His arms are always open, don't wait. Every day you wait to change and to truly turn to him and live his complete gospel is another day without being embraced fully by your savior's extended arms. The blessings he offers are greater than anything, so don't wait, don't make excuses, don't say it doesn't apply to you. Jesus suffered for all, you need to repent. I love him for that, and I hope you do also!


Que pasen una semana muy feliz
-Elder Hill
