Now is the Time

Andrea's Baptism

"Happiness Moments"

 --We had changes and I am with the most adorable companion!!! Hna Villar:)

--Last night at like 10:45 we discovered bugs in the beds... an uber came to pick us up around midnight and we slept in an apartment above the mission offices!! hahah that is something I will never forget.

--We bought super good bread that was warm and danced in the rain last night before the bug emergency happened;)

Fernando's Baptism

--We got to go to the temple this morning. I continue to feel so blessed for serving in a mission with a temple.

--Kayla, Shaid, Andrea, and Fernando got baptized!!!! Wow, it was such a crazy saturday. The Boiler in our church doesn't work and so we ended up having two different baptismal services in two different churches! One of the most stressful and amazing days of the mission. :)

Shaid and Kayla's Baptisms

General Conference is on the horizon!!! I hope you are all preparing to receive lots of light and revelation. :)

32 For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.

My parents shared with me this quote that they heard in Stake Conference, "Sometimes we talk so much about what to do when the wind blows that we forget what we should do before the wind blows."

Fast Food

3 Nephi 14: 24 Therefore, whoso heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, who built his house upon a rock—

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock.

I think that sometimes we sit down and talk and talk and talk, when really the most important part is to get up and walk. Put everything into action.

President Hinckley has said, "Get on your knees and pray, and then get on your feet and work."

D&C 84: 45 For the word of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is light, and whatsoever is light is Spirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

46 And the Spirit giveth blight to every man that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit.

47 And every one that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit cometh unto God, even the Father.

48 And the Father teacheth him of the covenant which he has renewed and confirmed upon you, which is confirmed upon you for your sakes, and not for your sakes only, but for the sake of the whole world.

Cute Little Friend

I love these scriptures. Everyone receives light, and as we listen to the impressions of the spirit, we come closer to God.

And we are never alone in the journey.

D&C 84:88 And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up.

Slumber (or lack of slumber) Party

I encourage and invite you all to prepare for General Conference. I know that as we prepare, we will receive revelation upon revelation.

Now is the time to prepare for General Conference, and now is the time to prepare for the second coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I know He lives. I know He knows and loves us perfectly.

Now is the time to get to know and love Him, so that we may all live as He does.

With much love and joy,

Hermana Greenwood:)
