I cannot
believe this mission is coming to an end! Words cannot describe how I
feel. Some days I am not sure what to say about my mission, but one
thing is for sure, I have been more converted to the gospel of Jesus
Christ, and knowing that makes me happy!</div>

For
eighteen months I have been striving to share the message of the
Restoration to as many as I can. As I believe I have mentioned in
previous posts, my mission scripture is D&C 100:5-6 which states, <span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px currentColor; color: #333333; font-family: Palatino,"Palatino Linotype",Pahoran,Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 25.2px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span></div>

Last
Thursday I was on exchanges with Sister Leyes from Argentina. We were
at the reflection pool and approached "Fred". He was staying in Utah for a couple of months for work.
Right away he asked who we were and what we did. We explained that we
were missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
and our purpose was to invite others to receive the restored gospel. We
then pulled out the Restoration pamphlet and began to share our unique
message. Reciting the First Vision was refreshing and spectacular!
That day the sun was bright and warm, the sky was clear blue and the
spirit was strong! Sister Leyes and I
knew the spirit kept us balanced with one another and our tongues were
loosed. Fred then asked, "Well what do I need to do if I were to become
Mormon?" With enthusiasm we pulled out the Book of Mormon and shared
about baptism. He accepted a copy of the Book of Mormon and to learn
more! Sister Leyes will continue to teach Fred. When she called
at the scheduled appointment we had made, he was busy, but, he had started
reading the Book of Mormon!</div>
<div>
<br />I love my Savior Jesus
Christ. His love is soothing and assuring. I am grateful that I have
weaknesses so that I may be able to find joy as I overcome them! It is such an honor to
serve on holy ground where families are sealed for eternity. I know
President Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God. Joseph Smith did see
God the Father and Jesus Christ. Obedience is a commandment that
secures our eternal salvation. I say these things in the name of Jesus
Christ, amen. </div>

General
Conference was spectacular! I loved seeing the bright colored flowers,
the clear blue sky; feeling the warm sun and meeting the crowds and
crowds of people from all over the world! It is one of the most
miraculous sights to see! <br />
<div dir="ltr">
<div>
<br />Because of the
conference we met mostly members, but there were some guests not of our
faith and it was wonderful to share with them that there is still a
prophet today, from whom we can receive guidance for our lives! </div>
<div>
<br />One
of the greatest lessons I learned from General Conference and MLC
(Mission Leadership Counsel), is that we, as disciples of Jesus Christ, <b>must</b>
tend or serve our fellow men in order to be happy individuals. </div>
<div>
In
MLC, President Risenmay bore testimony of what it truly means to be a
Christ-like leader. He shared of the time Jesus Christ washed the feet
of His apostles. This got me thinking of how I needed to "wash the
feet" of the sisters in my district more often. Each of us as members
have been given a calling or are currently serving in one. We do not
have to be a Bishop or Stake President to act as a leader and diligently
serve. What ever the calling may be I invite you to be a righteous
example and continuously serve those in your ward specifically. "For I
was hungered, and ye gave me meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I
was a stranger, and ye took me in; Naked and ye clothed me; I was in
prison, and ye came unto me." Matthew 25:35-36.</div>
<div>
Never
forget the "worth of souls is great in the sight of God". God loves us
individually and He knows what we need. We need to be the answer to
someone else's prayers. That someone may be the sister quietly sitting next
to you in Relief Society or the single parent struggling
to get the children to church. That someone could be the Bishop
himself. </div>
<div>
<br />I know that the Savior is the
master of service. He is the director of this church. I hope to be His
hands and obey His will. I am grateful the Savior forgives me for my
mistakes and shortcomings. I am grateful that Joseph Smith asked God to
know the truth. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.</div>

General Conference is this weekend
and once again I am so excited! There will be miracles after miracles!
Sometimes in life we feel as though we are 'breezing' through life,
enjoying every minute of it and then a trial or two or three or ten come
our way and we become stuck. The things that once made us happy are
gone, the confidence we once had withers away. Have any of you ever
felt like this at one point in your lives? I sure have. Although I may sometimes feel discouraged, hurt or lonely, I know I can find greater happiness and light in my life as I follow the prophets of old and in modern times, for they are men called of God to be His mouth piece on the earth. </div>

<div>
I am grateful there is a living day prophet today, Thomas S. Monson,
who loves each and every one of us. I hope each of us will listen to his words this weekend. If you do not know already, pray to know if he is a man called of God. </div>
</div>
</div>
Jesus
Christ is the director of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our loving
Heavenly Father trusts us to make righteous choices, repent and find
happiness. I know Joseph Smith did see God the Father and Jesus Christ
in 1820. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.</div>
I love you all!<br />

<div dir="ltr">
I hope all of you were able to watch the Easter
video that I posted on last week's blog! Please share any thoughts or
feelings you had!<div>
<br />This past week Sister Evangelista and I gave a tour to two member
families who were good friends and wanted their children to take a tour.
The tour was very uplifting and rewarding! The spirit was present every
second. We ended in "God's Plan" and a sight I had
never seen before really touched my heart. The little 7 year old
pulled out a kleenex and began to cry. This reminded me of how we need to "becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love..." as it says in Mosiah 3:19. </div>
<div>
<br />The family has an important role in <a href="https://discover.mormon.org/en-us/topics/purpose-of-life/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">God's Plan</a>. If we are obedient to <a href="https://www.lds.org/topics/family-proclamation?lang=eng" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">His commandment</a>s,
the family can perform miracles and serve others in the greatest of
ways. Marriage is between a man and a woman. It is through the
prophets we can come to know the truth of all things and how to direct
our families in righteousness. I invite all families to pray for an
opportunity to serve in any way this week. I promise you that the Lord
will strengthen your home and peace will reside within the walls of your
home. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Joseph Smith did see God the Father
and Jesus Christ. It was through the restoration that families can we
bound for time on earth and for eternity. I say these thing sin the
name of Jesus Christ. Amen.</div>
<div>

<div>
I love you!</div>

<div>
This last week Sister Evangelista and I had met a lot of people with various backgrounds and experiences. Some grew up with a faith and were strong, and others had fallen away from a belief in God. Some asked questions, wanting to find answers, while others asked questions just to argue with us. But, I feel, that they were all in some way, seeking for something or someone that could bring them peace. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In our world we have medication, therapy, books, rituals, and so on that are provided to help us find strength and understand ourselves. The most perfect "solution" that I know to be true, is our Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane. There He felt all of the pain and confusion that each of us face daily. Then, He died on the cross at Golgotha. However, He was also resurrected, which means He overcame death. Through our Savior Jesus Christ it <b>is </b>possible to find peace, comfort and joy from our hardships and questions of doubt. This last weekend our church released a new video for Easter. <a href="https://www.mormon.org/easter?cid=HP_SU_3-13-2016_dMIS_fSPC_xLIDyL1-A_">Hallelujah: An Easter Message About Jesus Christ</a>. I invite everyone to watch, and ponder how strengthening your relationship with the Savior can resolve your pain, concerns or fears.<br /><br />Jesus Christ lives! I know He was resurrected from death. I know He visited God's children in Jerusalem and Ancient America. The resurrected Christ did visit Joseph Smith; and through Joseph Smith the gospel was restored back to the earth. I love my Savior. I am honored to wear His name on my badge for these eighteen months. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.<br /></div>
Love, <br />
Sister Mikeila Aquino<br />

<div>
<div>
So many miracles and blessings came our way! For one, the sun is beaming outside and I am actually saying "It is so hot!" here in Utah. I'm so excited that General Conference is almost here!</div>
<div>
On Saturday, I found out that someone who we had been teaching since my second transfer, but had lost contact with when I went to Arizona, got baptized! </div>
<div>
One
of the lessons that I am learning is the
importance of communication. Sister Evangelista and I love each
other! We are always laughing, trying to tell jokes and being happy. But, there have been instances where we are evaluating a
tour or discussing something and we misunderstand each other. Sister Evangelista is a wonderful example of
listening with love. She and I are learning to communicate better by
using the gospel of Jesus Christ. I found this quote given by one of
our leaders of the church that I believe can be applied by all, not just
women.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="A yellow textured background combined with a quote by Sister Rosemary M. Wixom: “We may live in different countries … but as women our purpose is the same.”" src="http://media.ldscdn.org/images/media-library/by-speaker/sister-rosemary-m-wixom/sister-wixom-quote-1232290-gallery.jpg" shrinktofit="true" /></div>
<div>
I know that the when we use the gospel of Jesus Christ, we can help fix any relationships that may be struggling. If we truly have a desire to change and ask Heavenly Father for help, we will receive His guidance and feel His love. <br />
<br />
Heavenly Father loves us! He sent us down to earth with our families. He provided prophets every dispensation and even after apostasy. I know Jesus Christ came to the earth to teach us the way to obtain salvation and to establish God's church with His authority. Although the priesthood, authority of God, was lost after the death of Christ and His apostles, God provided a way to restore it back to the earth because He loves us. Because of <b>clear</b> communication, the priesthood and God's church was restored in 1830 through Joseph Smith. The communication Joseph had with God and Jesus Christ did happen. The Book of Mormon is the evidence. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.<br />
<br />
Love, Sister Mikeila Aquino<br />

<div>
Sunday we walked up to the Christus and saw a girl
looking up at the statue. I felt we needed to talk with her so we
approached her and unlike many people, she right away smiled and said
"Hi!". Her name was Julia and she was a member of the church. She just
seemed to be the bubbly and optimistic type; someone that bursts with
sunlight and warms your heart. We asked if she had seen God's Plan and
if she would like to see it. She quickly got up and we went. Before we
started the presentation we asked that she share what made her the
happy individual that she was. She said, <i>I love knowing who am I and that Heavenly Father cares about me
no matter how small I may be in this entire universe. I love being
happy and having this wonderful message in my life that lets me remember
that I'm here to help others and to bring them into Christ. This gospel
is the best thing that's ever happened to me and I will never give it
up. </i><br />
Although she did not say, I am sure like all of us, Julia, has
experienced trials, but instead of allowing them to discourage her, she <b>applied</b> the Atonement into her life and used God's love to define who she is today. <br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
Her
remarks really stuck with me and I want to add my testimony to
Julia's. Happiness comes from being a witness that Christ performed the
Atonement. I am a witness. I am grateful to have the gospel of Jesus
Christ in my life. I am a work in progress. I have many flaws and weaknesses, but I am who I am today
because I trust in Heavenly Father and I love my Savior. There are many
different reasons as to why I decided to serve this mission, but the
main one is because <strong>the gospel of Jesus Christ brings me
happiness</strong>. I am happy when I read the Book of Mormon. I am happy
partaking of the <a href="https://www.mormon.org/worship">sacramen</a>t
each week. I am happy when I attend the temple to make covenants or
promises with Heavenly Father. I am happy when I pray constantly
throughout the day to my Heavenly Father. I am happy when listening to <a href="https://history.lds.org/article/thomas-s-monson-video-downloads?lang=eng">President Thomas S. Monson</a>,
our living prophet. I am happy when I use the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I
am happy to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of-Latter Days
Saints.<br />
If you want be happy, find who you truly are. If you are trying to find yourself <b>apply</b>
the gospel of Jesus Christ. As a missionary my purpose is to help
others grow closer to their Savior and guiding them to take necessary
steps that will make them happy eternally. If you are feeling lost or discouraged, my companion and I would love to help you!
Please email me and we would love to share more about the gospel of
Jesus Christ with you and teach you how to <b>apply</b> it in your life!<br />
<br />
I say these things in the name of my beloved Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.</div>
I love you all! You are all beautiful sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father!</div>

The Spring season is slowly on its way and I love it!
Winter is beautiful and the Salt Lake Temple is a breath
taking sight covered in white, but my body can only handle the
temperature for so long. Honestly, I could live in the hot summer Arizona
weather longer than a Utah winter. However, I am still grateful for
Heavenly Father's beautiful creation!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1456171424468_2218">
<br /></div>
Since the beginning of winter I have been trying to find
earmuffs at the store because my ears were very cold and my
beanie didn't always keep them warm. I finally found a pair a couple of weeks ago in our mission bin where the sisters can recycle the clothes they don't want
and others can take them for free. Then, Saturday evening I realized I had left them somewhere. I
back-tracked to find them, but had no luck. I began to have a
sour attitude.I was
frustrated... frustrated that I had lost my <b>cute and stylish </b>earmuffs.
The next day was Sunday and while I partook of the
sacrament I prayed to the Lord for peace. <br />
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1456171424468_2235">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1456171424468_2236">
The Lord will always teach you the lesson you need to find
joy. Sunday I was on exchanges with Sister Bean, one of the
sisters in my district. We decided to talk with this man, who
was a member of the church, and he offered for us to sit down
and talk with him for a little bit. We began talking about
his family and his wife's conversion into the gospel. Because
it was such a spirit lead conversation I cannot even explain
the feelings I had and all that was said. Then he made a
statement along these lines. "Too many people focus on the
worldly and materialist things... Too many people think that
happiness comes from money, cars, etc. He went on to say that
none of those things matter. Only the gospel of Jesus Christ
can bring us happiness. Pure joy simply comes from the
following the example of Jesus Christ and keeping God's
commandments." <br />
I was re-taught, if you will, a vital lesson
that as mortals we often forget. Even though I am serving a
mission, striving to live a righteous life, I still get
selfish and turn my heart away from the Lord. My mind and
desires were so focused on <b id="yui_3_16_0_1_1456171424468_2247">cute and stylish </b>things
that I had forgotten my purpose on a mission and more
importantly my purpose on this earth.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1456171424468_2237">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1456171424468_2238">
If today is one of those days or weeks or months, that you
feel is "going south" my invitation to you is to turn your
heart to the Lord. Ask for forgiveness, read the scriptures
and PRAY! Don't wait like I did for someone to tell you to
change. It may be difficult because turning, changing is
hard, but I promise you that you will find peace and eternal
joy!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1456171424468_2239">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1456171424468_2240">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1456171424468_2241">
Although it can be difficult at times to admit my mistakes
and faults I am grateful to be a sinner and to be the clumsy
person that I am because I have been able to grow closer to my
Savior Jesus Christ. No other event, like the atonement,
could fully heal a scar as it does and no other event could
promise eternal joy as Joseph Smith's first vision. Jesus
Christ bled from every pore and <b>was </b>crucified for
each of us individually. Joseph Smith <b>did</b> see God the
Father and Jesus Christ in 1820 and he was called as a prophet
by God. Heavenly Father loves His children. With our
families we can return to live with Him again some day. I say
these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.</div>

<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
Yesterday, we took two ladies on a
tour. "Clara" was not a member of the church, and "Kristi" was a less active member. (names changed) They had been friends since they were children. We began the tour in the
Tabernacle explaining the purpose of it's dome shaped roof and how
important it was that we listen to a living prophet to give us
direction. They were amazed by the organ, as everyone is, but didn't
ask many questions about anything else. We next went to the Assembly Hall where we discussed how much dedication it took to build the benches and pillars. Although church
services did not actually take place in the Assembly Hall, we explained what happens in our church services. Kristi brought up that she remembered attending
Primary class (Sunday school for the children) and that her favorite
song was <a href="https://www.lds.org/music/library/childrens-songbook/i-am-a-child-of-god?lang=eng">"I Am A Child Of God."</a> At first Sister Evangelista and I were planning to take them to
the model of the temple, but the spirit prompted us in another
direction, to the God's Plan exhibit. At this point in the tour, we were having a difficult time figuring out their concerns or needs. Our
conversation and tour was kind of "all over the place." </div>
We
got to the "God's Plan" door to find a group already in one room and another
group waiting to go in with other sisters. So, we went downstairs so
they could use the restroom. I was so glad on the timing of everything
because when we went back upstairs the first thing Kristi said was, "Now
I have that song stuck in my head." (Referring to 'I am A Child Of
God.') I pulled up the lyrics on my ipad and gave it to her to show
Clara. Kristi started singing the first verse. The spirit beamed in
the room and I knew our tour was going to end the way the Lord would
have it end. </div>
This experience was a testimony to me of the
power of hymns and uplifting music. The world today offers too many
unwholesome environments and sounds. Sometimes our lives are clouded by
the noise of yelling and cursing and harsh sounds. Wholesome music and
hymns always invite the spirit and give us the peaceful direction we
need in our lives.When we have too much noise and distractions in our lives, we should turn it down and tune into the music of the spirit. </div>
</div>
I
bear witness that Jesus Christ is coming and now is the time for us to
turn our hearts to wholesome thoughts and to make righteous decisions.
These righteous decisions will lead us back to our Heavenly Father's
presence. I am grateful for our church hymns and the Primary songs
because they keep my thoughts pure and help me feel my Savior's love. I
say these things in th name of Jesus Christ. Amen.</div>
Love,<br />

Another transfer is here! This was the first
transfer we did transfer calls and it was very exciting. Our whole
apartment got up so eager to get our call from the Assistants. It was
exciting! My new companion is Sister Evangelista from the
Philippines!!! Woohoo! My third Filipina companion. I was so happy to
get the call! We will be serving in Humanitarian Center this
transfer. Sister Evangelista is very kind and has a sweet spirit about
her. Many miracles to come!</div>

I would like to share two
experiences I had this week that show a contrast of how the Lord teaches
us about the work of the Spirit. This invitation is specifically for
those who are members of the LDS faith<span style="color: red;"></span></div>
</div>
Sunday,
Sister Cariñote and I took a family through the God's Plan
presentation. Another sister had spoken with the mother and told me
they were members of the Mormon church and that she was struggling with
attending church. Throughout the presentation I
was pleading with the Lord that we would be able to say what they needed to hear. While they were watching the second video I
was in the third room looking up scriptures, keywords to give me some
direction, trying to think of experiences, but nothing came to me. Sister Cariñote bore her testimony, then I bore mine. Then we invited them to share with their children why the sacrament is important to them. The mother started to cry. I knew it was the Spirit that had spoken, not me.</div>
Tuesday
we met another member of our faith and he was sitting near the New
Testament paintings in the North Visitor Center and seemed to be
in a stupor of thought. We
approached him and asked what he was thinking. He said he was
contemplating about a decision that he needed to make for work. I
prayed to the Lord asking what scripture, quote, testimony, anything we
could share with him, but realized that we had nothing to offer. I share with him a title from an Ensign magazine, but even that didn't feel right.
I know that Sister Carinote and I had the spirit. We were trying to discern needs
and trying to speak the Lord's words, but I believe that the Lord was
giving me this experience just to remind me that this is His work and
NOT ours. </div>
In both experiences the Lord was teaching me
that this is His work and we cannot do it without the spirit. Now
matter how hard we try to help our non member friends come into the
gospel we cannot force it upon them and we cannot force the spirit to
give us the direction we are seeking for. This also includes helping
our less active friends. We must be patient with Heavenly Father's
timing for '<a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/isa/55?lang=eng">His ways are higher than our ways.</a>'
We must have charity- which also includes respecting their agency. I
want to invite you to read this recent ensign article for this month
that gives insight to parents who have children that are less active.
However, I feel all of us as members can learn from it. (<a href="https://www.lds.org/ensign/resources/when-a-child-leaves-the-church?lang=eng">When A Child Leaves the Church</a>)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
love my Savior Jesus Christ. I know that He desires us to follow Him.
That is why we were sent down to the earth with our families and the
friends we have so that we may help one another to return to live with
God again. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">I apologize for not writing last
week! Each day has gone by way too fast and so much is filled in these
days! I am so grateful for all of the lessons I have learned! I would
like to share one of these that really touched me.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
In
the evening we were contacting people in the basement of the North
Visitor Center. We had planned to go to the reflection pool next, but
then Sister Cariñote said we should go to the Christus. At first I asked
why not go to the reflection pool as we had planned, but agreed to
go up to the Cristus. I am so grateful Sister Cariñote acted on that prompting. We
approached a lady sitting on the couch. There, leaning against the couch, was a
big blue envelope with the name 'Sara' written on it. We asked who the
artist was. The lady responded that it was her daughter, Sara, who has
autism. She said that Sara loved art and was downstairs looking at the
paintings of Christ. The mother began to cry and said when Sara
wants to come to Temple Square, they come. We asked if there was one
particular Christ-like attribute she learned from
her daughter. I shared that those of us not with special needs are the
different ones and that we have so much to learn from them. She continued to cry as she explained that Sara always focuses on the Savior.
The spirit came to me and taught me that me venting or having self pity
for my trials was selfish. I needed to focus on my purpose as a
missionary. Sara soon came up to the ramp and we we got to see some of
her art.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
We can learn from Sara, to center our lives more on the Savior instead of the things of the world, and, as we strive to follow Him and use His atonement, we will overcome the things of the world.The invitation
I give to all of us this week is to turn our hearts more towards the
Savior. Put down the phone and say a prayer; turn off the television
and play with the kids; put aside the homework and read the
scriptures. I promise you peace and a surety of God's love for you. I
love my Savior. He has blessed me with experiences that humble me and
remind me to turn to Him always. Not just when times are difficult, not just when I want to pass my test, not just when I want a lesson or
tour to go well, but always! </div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">

Sister Palmer, now Gwyneth Allred, got married! I had the wonderful
opportunity to attend her sealing! A sealing is when a husband and wife are married in the temple for 'time and all eternity'. The
temple is where God hopes for each of us to one day enter so we can make
covenants, or higher promises with Him; one of which is a temple
marriage or sealing. We also do work for our ancestors who have passed
on. For example, if we have a family member who was not baptized in
this life, we can be baptized for them.
Sealings for family members are also done. If you have any questions about
the purpose of temples visit <a href="https://discover.mormon.org/en-us/topics/temples/">Temples.</a> You
can also email me and I would love to answer any questions you might have.<br />

President
and Sister Poulsen, (my mission president and his wife) will be completing their mission this Thursday. They both spoke in church this last
Sunday and boy was I emotional! I love them! He directed the Temple Square Mission exactly how it needed to
be. I know that our prophet, President Thomas S. Monson <b>is </b>a
man called of God and he received revelation that
the Poulsens needed to be our Mission President. However, I also know that President
and Sister Risenmay (my new Mission President) have also been called by our
Heavenly Father. Members of the church, if for whatever reason you are
struggling with supporting your leaders, whether it be a Bishop, Relief
Society President, counselor, I urge you to ask the Lord to fill your
heart with Christ like charity and to have the desire to sustain that
leader. There is only happiness in following God's will. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Happiness comes from eternal blessings. Eternal blessings are received in the temple. The temple is <b>the </b>only
way we can be with our family for time and all eternity. The Book of
Mormon has brought so much clarity into my life and has strengthened my
faith that I will see my loved ones again after this life. One of my
mother's favorite scriptures is found in the Book of Mormon (Mosiah 16:8) <i>But there is a resurrection, therefore the grave hath no victory, and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ.</i> I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. </div>

here! Another year to find and experience miracles!<br />
<br />
January 1 for us was wonderful! There was quite a lot
of people that came to visit Temple Square and it was
exciting! <br />
<br />
In the evening we went to contact guests in the
Tabernacle and we met "George" (name changed for privacy) and his father. They were visiting from Ecuador. Since George's
father could only speak Spanish, George translated
for me.
They didn't know anything about the Tabernacle so I
began to explain the history and original purpose for
the building- to listen to a living day prophet speak
without the use of a microphone.<br />
<br />
This was one of those moments that the spirit was
flowing right through me. I began to ask questions and
bear testimony of things that were not my own words.
The message of the Restoration came up and I could feel
that their hearts and spirits were listening. I knew they
felt Heavenly Father's love for them. I asked them if
they had ever read or heard of the <u>Book of Mormon</u>.
George had because his brother was actually Mormon.
This surprised me that hadn't brought it up before, but
I guess the Spirit helped him to be open about it. He
said that he had read the some of the <u>Book of Mormon</u> in the past. He
and his brother hadn't ever talked too in depth about
the Mormon religion before because George didn't know
what to ask. I invited George to read his copy of the <u>Book of Mormon</u> again and to "liken" or relate the words to himself. He said
he would. The Spirit was so strong! <br />
<br />
I am a witness that the <u>Book of Mormon</u> is for every
individual on this earth. I know God's love is poured
upon me when I have the desire to listen to what is being
said in the words of the prophets. I urge each and every
one of you to read the <u>Book of Mormon</u>. Before reading, get
on your knees and ask Heavenly Father for strength to
understand what is being taught. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
If you have any questions or doubts at all about the <u>Book of Mormon</u> please visit <a href="https://www.mormon.org/chat" target="_blank">mormon.org</a> to chat
with missionaries like me. We would love to help you increase
your faith and understanding of the <u>Book of Mormon</u>.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
I love you all!<br />

This year was
very much a white Christmas on Temple Square and what a beautiful time it was!<br />
Tuesday morning we had Assembly Hall
for two hours and I met "Luke." (Name changed for privacy purposes). He
was visiting from Florida on his way to Seattle to visit a friend.
His flight got delayed so he came to Temple Square. This was his first
time to Salt Lake. I asked if he had seen much and the Assembly Hall
was his first stop. I started asking questions to get to know him. I
learned he had a friend or coworker who was Mormon, but had never
talked with them about their faith. He grew up Methodist but didn't
agree with some of the
things and stopped reading, praying and attending church.<br />
<br />
He
asked about the purpose of the temple and why he could not
enter. I explained to him that it was a very sacred, special place
where we make covenants, or higher promises with God. I also explained
that not even all members could enter right away. However, that did not
mean he could never go in. There are three
questions that are answered when we go: Where did we come from? Why we are here?
and Where do we go after this life? He said he didn't believe in heaven and did
not have an answer to any of those questions. I felt an overwhelming feeling to
tell him God loves him. Then the Spirit prompted me to invited him to
read the Bible again as a goal for the New year. The spirit was very
strong and I knew that he felt Heavenly Father's love, even if he didn't
express it.<br />
<br />
When New Years comes around I often try
to think of finding something "new" I want to develop or a high
achieving goal I have always wanted to succeed in. But this experience
taught me that sometimes the goals we set for ourselves need to be
simple and need to be a skill we haven't "touched" in a while. I want
to invite each of you to make one of your New Years
resolutions to develop or strengthen a relationship you haven't had in a
while. This relationship could be with a family member, a friend, or maybe with our Heavenly Father. Get on your knees and pour your
heart out to Him, seeking for His love. I promise you that whatever
relationship you choose, your happiness will increase! I too will take
this invite and you can email me if you want to follow up with my
progress.<br />
<br />
I know love, hope and charity bring us happiness
because they are characteristics of our Savior, Jesus Christ. God sent
us to the earth to make goals so that we can return to live with Him
again someday. I know that because Joseph Smith sought to strengthen his
relationship with God and Jesus Christ, he was able to restore the
gospel of Jesus Christ to the earth. I say these things in the name of
Jesus Christ. Amen. <br />
<br />
Happy New Year!<br />
Love,<br />

Wow! Another transfer is here! The words" I have been out for
over a year" scare me more and more. I am grateful that Sister Butler
and I were companions. She is beautiful and I learned so much from
her. We were able to have experiences that strengthened us and helped
us to learn more about charity. If you ever have trials with a friend,
do not let the lesson(s) you learn go in vain! Sister Butler is great
in simplicity when teaching and she loves the Lord. I am going to miss
her.</div>

I love my new companion, Sister Cariñote.
She is from the Philippines! We will be serving in the Humanitarian
Center and this will be a first time for both of us!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I am sad to say this is President and Sister Poulsen's last transfer! They both mean so much to me and I am going to miss them! At transfer Conference, President and Sister Poulsen shared wonderful testimonies!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sister
Poulsen shared a simple experience with a powerful message. This past
weekend she had just put up their Christmas tree. The morning of our
transfer conference she woke up to find that the Christmas tree had fallen over.
She continued on to say, "There will be disappointment and adversity
that will come our way." She said it is up to us how we will react
to them and encouraged us to always have a positive outlook on life.<br /></div>
<div>
This
is something I will strive to develop this transfer. I know I struggle
with patience at times, but I know that Sister Poulsen's words are true. The atonement, Christ's sacrifice for us,
allows each of us to have hope, joy, charity and faith. We cannot
control the circumstances around us, but we definitely have control of
our reactions to them. I commit myself and invite all of you to find the blessing in
every trial we go through. Fall to your knees and plead for Heavenly
Father's help. I know He will answer us if we will listen.<br /></div>
<div>
I
love the gospel of Jesus Christ. Positivity comes from having charity
for others and love for the Savior. I say these things in the name of
Jesus Christ. Amen.<br /><br />Sister Mikeila Aquino<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
Christmas signifies the birth of our Savior,
Jesus Christ. It is a time of joy, a time of peace and a time of
happiness; and yet, there are many who feel the opposite; stress, anger,
sadness. Sometimes we may feel that God does not love us or He has forgotten
about us because of the trials we are given. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
The LDS church has made two videos this year to remind us of God's love to His children. I shared the video, <a href="https://www.mormon.org/christmas"><i>"A Savior is Born."</i></a> in my last post. If you haven't had a chance to watch it, I invite you to do so first, and then to watch this one, <a href="https://www.mormon.org/christmas/purpose-of-a-savior">"Imagine a World without a Savior."</a></div>
As
you watch this video, I invite you to ponder what gift you want to
give the Savior this Christmas. Maybe it is using more appropriate
language, or saying "I love you more." Maybe it is reading the scriptures, saying
more fervent prayers, or listening to our parents more. Sincerely pray so you can know how to bring
yourself closer to Savior this season and this new year.<br />
</div>
God
does love each and every one of us! His love is shown through the birth
of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Without Christ's birth, we would not have
joy or the ability to repent. When I repent and am forgiven, I feel that joy. I love my Savior. I say these things
in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.</div>
<br />
I love you all!</div>

<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Christmas is here on
Temple Square! The grounds are lit up with </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">beautiful colors and many
of God's children gather on the grounds! </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Christmas is my absolute favorite season and being here on Temple Square makes it even more special.</span><br />
<br style="font-size: 12.8px;" />
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">As with everywhere else, it is also the busiest time of
the year on Temple Square as many hustle and bustle </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">to to see the Christus
or to take </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">pictures in front of the temple with
the lights. It is easy at times to get distracted. <span style="font-size: 12.8px;">The word
Christmas has Christ' name in it, but often we are caught up
in the other beauties of the season instead of focusing on our
Savior, who is the reason to celebrate. </span></span><br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Last year we started "Sing
and Smile." On our schedules we sing </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Christmas songs from the hymn book </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">many times each
week. Last night a
little girl and her family were walking by taking pictures
of the lights. She then came up to us missionaries and just
stood there looking as if she wanted to sing. So we helped her stand on the top
of one of the planters and she started singing with us. It
was such a precious and memorable sight to see! <span style="background-color: white;"> I </span>realized that best way to
find peace in our lives, especially during the holiday
season is to center our lives around Jesus Christ; just as this
little girl had done. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Christmas carols are all fun
exciting and memorable to sing, but the carols that provide
peace, comfort and healing are the ones that share the
message of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I invite each of you
to choose one of your favorite Christmas carols that talk
about the Savior. Sing it to yourself or listen to it and then post the lyrics on social media with
your testimony of why you love the Savior. I promise you
that this will answer another's prayers and it will help to calm<span style="background-color: white;"> your crazy busy
life. If yo</span>u are not sure
what song to share or what to say, watch this video that the
church recently published and maybe this will give you some
ideas!</span></div>

so that we may know joy, comfort and peace. He lived to teach us
humility, love, obedience, charity, knowledge and faith. He died and was
resurrected so that we may have the hope to return to live with God
again. Christ was born in the most humble state to teach us
gratitude. I love my Savior. He is my brother, my advocate and my
friend. I say this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.</span></div>

this last week that emphasizes the importance of the Book of Mormon for all.
Last Wednesday we met Kelly (name changed for privacy purposes)outside the
Assembly Hall. She was in town for business and it was her first visit to
Temple Square. While we were giving her a tour of the Assembly Hall, we got the
impression to take her to the Interactive Book of Mormon display. This display
simply explains the why and the how to read the Book of Mormon. I personally
had only used this once, but we knew the spirit needed us to bring her there.
As we discussed her feelings about it, she said it was different than what she
"had expected". We asked in what way. Her response was that she
expected it to be strict, but it was gentle. We asked if this was something she
would want in her life and she said yes! We now have an appointment with her!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Tuesday we met a couple, both members, up at the Christus.
We invited them to watch God's Plan and they accepted. We learned they were
from Utah and they loved their children. Throughout the presentation Sister
Chansriramee and I had no clue what we should invite them to do. We went blank.
But, faith is a real thing and it works! At the end we asked what they liked
about the video. He said he liked that the family got along. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, he knows not all relationships work out
that way. We asked if there was a specific person that came to his mind. He
said there was more than one, but that he wasn't sure if the desire to have a
better relationship with that person existed at the moment. So, we shared
a scripture that I had read that morning during <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>personal study (Alma 32:41.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

nourish the tree as it beginneth to grow, by your faith with great diligence,

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We invited each of them to pray, read the Family
Proclamation and ask Heavenly Father to point out what they needed to work on
to have the desire to have a relationship with that person again, and then to
write their goals on the back of the Family Proclamation. What a
wonderful feeling it was to feel the presence of the Spirit as it bore witness
to their hearts of Heavenly Father's love for them!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Today we had a similar experience with another couple who
were also members of the church. We met them outside of the Assembly Hall
and asked if we could show them God's Plan. They said yes. We
learned they were in town for a funeral. They had three children and one
of them had passed on. We learned about their adorable family story. They
had known each other since elementary school. They were such a sweet
couple. Before we started we had invited them to think of one thing they
wanted to change about themselves as individuals so that their family could be
strengthened. We started the presentation and again Sister Chasriramee
and I didn't know what message they needed and what we would invite them to
do. When the last video was finished, we asked what they liked about
it. The husband suddenly opened up and shared his sincere feelings about
overcoming hardships and his gratitude for the Gospel. The wife, as well,
shared her testimony of how they have used the Atonement of Jesus Christ in
their marriage and in dealing with the loss of loved ones. We know that
the Spirit was present. As we listened to this wonderful couple and the Spirit,
once again, we were able to bear testimony and extend the commitment Heavenly
Father had prepared for them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Trust that Heavenly Father will answer your prayers.
This life is the time to prepare to meet Him again, not necessarily receive
every answer we long for. Preparing means we place our faith first and
act on it. Then because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can find joy
in eternal life! I know I will see my grandma again because the Savior
was resurrected and overcame death. This is a blessing promised to each
of us, as we center our lives on Jesus Christ. I know this to be
true. There is no doubt of this in my heart. I say these things in
the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.</span></div>

<div>
<div>
General Conference was amazing! Hearing the prophet,
apostles and general authorities speak to us all is so refreshing and
reassures my testimony of my Savior. I hope all of the members were
able to watch or listen to <a href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/sessions/2015/10?cid=HP_SU_10-4-2015_dPTH_fGC_xLIDyL1-C_&lang=eng">General Conference</a>!
Three new apostles were sustained; what an exciting time for the world!
Our zone had the privilege to attend the Saturday morning session. One
of my favorite talks was <a href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2015/10/what-lack-i-yet?lang=eng">"What Lack I Yet?"</a>
by Elder Larry R. Lawrence of the Quorum of the Seventy. I invite everyone to read
his talk. As you do, I urge
you to ponder about what simple change the Holy Ghost has prompted you to
make in your life to bring yourself closer to your Savior.</div>
<div>
<br />
Sunday
night our mission had the privilege of having John Schmidt, from the
Piano Guys, perform for us! We were all really excited and everyone got their ipads out ready to record. It was a nice finish to a long, wonderful General Conference weekend. Well, a lady came walking into the theater and was
looking around wondering what was going on. Immediately, two sisters stood up and started talking
with her. Next thing you know they opened the Book of Mormon and
started turning the pages, describing each picture. Then all three of
them left the theater. <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">What a great example those two sisters were! Even though it meant possibly missing the performance, they took the lady on a tour of Temple Square. What a great lesson!</span> </span></span>There are many who do not have a knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ so we need to always be ready to share it. It is my
hope that you will take every opportunity you have to share the gospel,
even if it might seem an "inconvenience" to you. It is never an
inconvenience to the Lord. This is the work of Salvation!</div>
<br />
I
love the Lord's work. I know that God does live. I
have a testimony that the Savior visited the Ancient Americas and He
will come again. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.</div>
Love,</div>
Sister Mikeila Aquino<br />

I
apologize that I have not written for over a month! There have been so
many transitions and changes these last couple of transfers, but I am
enjoying it! Being a missionary in Tempe Arizona was life changing and
an incredible experience! I miss all of the friends and memories we
made. Tempe will always have a special place in my heart! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
have been back to Temple Square for a transfer and now starting another
this week! Last transfer I was in a trio with the beautiful sisters
Sister Solorzano (from Peru/Spain) and Sister Chansriramee (from
Thailand). We served at Welfare Square. I loved being with these two
sisters! Sister Solorzano taught me how to have more charity and Sister
Chansriramee taught me the importance of patience. I was a district
leader and they both were so supportive! The sisters in our district
were all wonderful! I am grateful I had the opportunity to get to know
them. This next transfer I am still with Sister Chansriramee and I am
excited to learn more from her! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am excited
for this weekend because it is General Conference again! Three new
apostles will be called! General Conference is a time for everyone
around the world to listen to a prophet of God. I believe that God does
call a prophet and apostles for our day, to give us
direction just like during biblical times. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One
of the things I love about Temple Square is that tours and lessons are
given in about fifty different languages! Our Thai investigator, Lucy
(name changed for privacy purposes) and her boyfriend were baptized last
transfer! This last summer some sisters were able to meet Lucy and her
boyfriend during their visit to Temple Square. They decided to stay in
contact with those sisters to learn more about the restored gospel.
Well, Lucy is originally from Thailand and so the other sisters asked
Sister Chansriramee to teach Lucy. Now they are both baptized and very
happy in life!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thursday evening was filled with
wonderful opportunities for us! We were supposed to take an English
tour but when we went to look for them we couldn't find them. The
sisters at the front desk then asked us to play God's Plan in Spanish
for a family because no Spanish sisters were available. The granddaughter spoke
English, but was only able to translate some things. She was a member
of the church, but her uncle and grandmother (visiting form Chile) were
not. From what Spanish I could remember from high school I was able to
relate some things to them, but not really that much. Heavenly Father
was definitely with us. We
invited them to meet with missionaries and they gave us their contact
information so we can send missionaries to their home.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That
same evening we were already running late getting home for studies
because we were taking tours, which is not a bad thing at all! Well, as
we walked by the reflection pool, we felt prompted to talk with this man
sitting at the pool looking at the temple. He was a member visiting
for conference from Mexico for the first time! In the middle of the
conversation Sister Chansriramee asked him if he kept a journal, so that he
could record his General Conference experiences. He said he wasn't
the best at keeping it, so we got talking about how pictures are a great way
to keep a journal. We also talked about social media and how it
can be a tool to share the gospel. He said he didn't really like social
media. Well, we explained how he could use it to do missionary work. I
told him that I was not a big fan of social media either because it is
not always used in wholesome or productive ways. But, I shared that I
keep a mission blog and how my companion in AZ and I used Facebook to
share our testimonies and uplift the members. We will be following up
with him on this commitment. I loved the training by the missionary
department! It has really blessed us!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
These
three experiences taught me the powerful and true principle that their
is a modern day prophet of God on the earth today! God speaks to all of
us! He speaks to Christians and non Christians. He speaks to children
and grandparents. He speaks to all of us in our native language. He speaks to
Lucy. He speaks to the member visiting from Mexico. He speaks to the
part members family from Chile. He speaks to me. He loves and speaks
to everyone and that has always been through a prophet of God. I know
this to be true, not because I have shaken <a href="https://www.lds.org/prophets-and-apostles?lang=eng">President Thomas S. Monson's</a>
hand, but because I have prayed and listened to him. General
Conference was not established for just the believers, but also for
those who need any direction in life. I <b>urge</b> each and everyone of you watch and rewatch/read <a href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/sessions/2015/10?cid=HP_SA_9-26-2015_dPTH_fGC_xLIDyL1-A_&lang=eng">General Conference</a>.
I promise all of you that the spirit of God will testify the truth to
you. Each of us is searching for something in life; through a man
called of God you will find what you are looking for. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
You are probably wondering the translation of my blog title. <b>Prophet, Profeta, ศาสดาพยากรณ์</b></div>
<div>
<b> </b>It is the word prophet in English, Spanish and Thai. This is to show that God does speak all of us!<b> </b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.</div>
<div>

This last week Sister Freeman and I asked the district to pray that we could have return appointments with investigators. Prayer always brings miracles and blessings! Wednesday night we had to be at dinner in 10 minutes but we were near an investigator's home whom we hadn't met yet so we decided to make a quick visit. I said the prayer before going in and asked if we could set a return appointment. I have actually never asked for that specific thing in my prayers before and at the time had forgotten we had asked the district to pray for this. The daughter answered. She recognized we were missionaries. She said it wasn't a good time but asked if tomorrow at 6 would work. Of course we said yes! I was honestly so surprised how quick her response was! We texted the district that night with our exciting news. </div></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">This was another witness to me that Heavenly Father does care about the sincere desires of our hearts. I also know that because of the faith of the missionaries in our district, we were able to witness another miracle! Just as in says in Alma, " <i>let all thy thoughts be directed unto the Lord" </i>and<i> "</i><i>ye shall be lifted up at the last day."</i></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><i><br></i></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">In your own homes if there is something you are struggling with, express this with your family and and ask them to pray for your needs. Maybe have your own family prayer roll where each family member writes down two or three things they stand in need of and in all,of your personal prayers and family prayers, pray for those specific things. I promise you that as your families make your prayers more direct and specific, you will experience more blessings and happiness in your lives. </div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">The example my parents set of saying family prayers in our home has made a huge impact on my life. I have grown so much from this principle and have been able to make righteous choices because of it. I know God gave us families to build strong foundations in our individual lives. I say these things in the name of Jeuss Christ, amen.</div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">Sister Mikeila Aquino </div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AbT80Vdbijk/VdFbsIMUibI/AAAAAAAABWk/MMGbBZELOaA/s640/blogger-image--440925579.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AbT80Vdbijk/VdFbsIMUibI/AAAAAAAABWk/MMGbBZELOaA/s640/blogger-image--440925579.jpg"></a></div> Tempe South YSA Zone</div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-k2NyCDuRcU4/VdFbq2VITCI/AAAAAAAABWc/0qfrnKbJUhI/s640/blogger-image-656390371.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-k2NyCDuRcU4/VdFbq2VITCI/AAAAAAAABWc/0qfrnKbJUhI/s640/blogger-image-656390371.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZM-YN_PVR90/VdFbpxnL9QI/AAAAAAAABWU/6ZQgOli6m0w/s640/blogger-image-1600508183.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZM-YN_PVR90/VdFbpxnL9QI/AAAAAAAABWU/6ZQgOli6m0w/s640/blogger-image-1600508183.jpg"></a></div> Donnelle and Sister Charters came out with us!

Patience, " is the capacity to endure delay, trouble, opposition, or suffering without becoming angry, frustrated, or anxious." In Relief Society, the lesson was on temperance and patience. This made me think of this last Thursday when I was not very patient. We had planned to contact less active and part member families. We also asked many members to come out with us, but no one was available. We also were not able to find anyone home to visit. I became discouraged and began to be impatient. I felt I was being unproductive because although we were trying to do something, we weren't doing anything. There was one point we were parked and I just felt emotionally lost. Sunday's lesson reminded me that I cannot control the circumstances around me, but I can control ho I react. Because of the gift of agency from our, loving Heavenly Father, we all have the ability to choose for ourselves. My frustration and and irritation Thursday did not come from the choices of others, it came from mine. I encourage each of you to choose to be patient and temperate in all aspects of life. I have not quite mastered this Christlike attribute yet, but I am working on strengthening this weakness as well. The next time you feel upset or discouraged, take a deep breath, say a prayer and maybe sing a song. </div><div>President Thomas S. Monson, our living day prophet stated, " Life is full of difficulties, some minor and others of a more serious nature. There seems to be an unending supply of challenges for one and all. Our problem is that we often expect instantaneous solutions to such challenges, forgetting that frequently the heavenly virtue of patience is required."</div><div><br></div><div>As I have strived to increase my patience towards myself and others, I have been more at peace. I am able to see the Lord's hand in my,life and His purpose for challenges that come into my life. I hope to one day master the virtue of patience, and no matter how, long that takes I know the Lord is helping me each day. I love sharing the gospel! The Lord has created such incredible individuals on this earth whom I have grown to love so much! I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. </div><div><br></div><div>Sister Mikeila Aquino</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rM2XiGzJagQ/Vc-sHL0HlgI/AAAAAAAABVc/9_lXKfXxTIY/s640/blogger-image-1569261694.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rM2XiGzJagQ/Vc-sHL0HlgI/AAAAAAAABVc/9_lXKfXxTIY/s640/blogger-image-1569261694.jpg"></a></div> Our first bike ride together!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11695729734730769134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838322140368211054.post-60237181112626545772015-08-15T13:56:00.001-07:002015-08-15T14:12:28.658-07:00"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy."<span style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>July 20-July 26</b></div></span><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><i><br></i></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">The sabbath is a very sacred day. It is the day we are commanded to put aside the things of the world and to focus on our savior, Jesus Christ. This is the time for us to study and ponder the scriptures, </div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">Sunday was one of my favorite days of this past week! The spirit was very strong all throughout the day! The Sabbath is a special day. It is the day I partake of the sacrament to renew my covenants, or promises, with God; One of which is my baptismal covenant. Growing up for the most part I have always loved going to church! Ever since I have become an adult and especially on my mission, I have learned the greater importance of the sabbath. The sabbath is more than just attending church. As members of this church we are commanded to treat the sabbath has as a sacred day. We are to do uplifting things that solely focus on our Savior. Besides going to church we also should spend time with our family. In the evening we visited the Bodily family and they all had their scriptures out and we all read and discussed the chapter. </div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">Singing hymns or songs about Jesus Christ is a wonderful way to bring the spirit of the sabbath in your home. During church, Sister Freeman and I were asked to introduce ourselves in Primary( Sunday school for children). They then asked us to share our favorite primary song and then we all sang it. I chose "A Child's Prayer". As I watched each of the children's precious faces sing those beautiful words, the spirit immediately filled my heart. I choked up and could hardly sing the song myself. I wish all of you could have been in that room to hear and see what I did. From that experience no one could doubt that God exists and that Jesus Christ is our Savior. </div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">For dinner we went to the Gallagar home. All throughout dinner we expressed to one another our gratitude for the temple and the covenants each of us have made there. Something as simple as sharing your testimony of the gospel with your family and friends is a wonderful way to spend your sabbath.</div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">These are obviously several other ways to spend your sabbath and so I want to invite the members of the LDS church, specifically, to commit yourself to make one change you will do to improve your sabbath day. I promise as you make these changes, contention and negative stress will leave your home and you will have more opportunities to share the gospel around you. For those of you who are not of the Mormon faith, but have Mormon friends ask them why the sabbath day is important in their lives and pay attention to the feelings you have as they share their thoughts with you. </div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">I love the peacefulness of church and partaking of the sacrament.
