Feliz Navidad
Since we skyped (it was AWESOME!!!) with Elder Broadbent on Christmas Day, he didn't have much to say but he did share some visuals.

¡Fuimos a un castillo hoy!
Well to begin Mabel has dropped us and we have not seen her in 3 weeks. But this is a work of happiness so I'm going to say we have two people on baptismal date! Sindi y Jose have been taught since January of this year. And through them we have a new investigator who is thinking of baptism already. 😀
Now my Spanish is improving so much that I honestly don't think when talking in Spanish. But still don't know every word or every grammar corrections. When learning a new language it's like learning everything over again. And the last two weeks I've read the Book of Mormon in Spanish. The best decision I've made in my life. I honestly believe I have a testimony of Book of Mormon in Spanish more than in English. I've made the goal to read the New Testament in the next three months. And keep reading the Book of Mormon of course. I invite you all to read this book. It is the most correct and wholesome book. I know this because it is a gift from God for us.

A Work of Happiness

First
off I just received an early Christmas gift from one of the missionaries; a bloody nose. That's alright, he gave me a hug afterwards so we are good. But other than that the
week was awesome. Not much happened this week other than we had so many
meetings. But the moral of this week is definitely 70x7. My companion and I had
so many appointments set up it was insane. But almost next to know one could
come and Mabel is having a hard time now. She had a baptismal fecha (we need to
change it) and she has failed three times to meet with us. But we still fogive
all of them.
But this is a work of happiness. The lord is still blessing us. We
met an awesome family from Ukraine that are moving into the ward. They speak
English and have two children. We'll be teaching them Spanish and they're so
fun. Probably the some of nicest people I've met here. We have been working
with less actives this week and one family wants to come back. It's not a
baptism but every soul is great in the sight of God.

La historia de un misionero en España.
![]() |
Elder Erickson y yo |
Well
this week was interesting with having someone know less Spanish than me but we
survived. Except the first day my new companion was in the field, someone tried to
pick-pocket him! Instead of glaring
at them, I told them that we were missionaries and wanted to share a message
with them. We actually received their number and they looked dumbstruck at just
what happened. My companion asked me how was it possible for me to that. I
asked him, "Are they worth something to you?"
I
never thought that myself until that happened. I tell you that the hardest
commandment to keep is the second greatest commandment which is to love your
neighbor like yourself. I can tell you that it is even a sin to think wrong
about someone.
"And if men come unto me I will show unto them their
weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is
sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble
themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become
strong unto them." (Ether 12:27)
The
only way to have love for others is to pray and be humble before God. That is
the only way we can keep this commandment and I bear the truth that this is one
of the most important commandment we have. And I know blessings will come to
those who keep. I exhort you all to pray that you can have love for every
person you see. Even those who do not love you.
Love
you all,
Elder
Broadbent.
It was a good day! we received an email, and pictures and videos!

¡Estoy muy feliz!
Mis queridos amigos y
hermanos. Estoy muy agrecidos para estar aquà en este mundo. Before my mission
I thought I had a huge heart for people. But now I realize that I honestly didn't. Not
enough for what is needed for this great work. I'm truly grateful to still be
here, on a mission, for those who are in darkness. I never thought I'd be this
happy during my mission but I'm happier than I was back home. My Spanish is
alright but definitely needs improving. Planning the days have improved but
always more room for improvement. Some things I noticed during the last few
weeks is that the Lord does not allow us to rest for too long. He always wants us
to progress and he never puts a limit on any attribute or ability. He does that
because our mission here is to become like him and God has no limits. For that
he pushes us to do more and more; he is our Father. And he wants to give the
inheritance that he has bestowed upon us before this life. We must follow what
he commands of us so we can receive our mansions in the heavens.
This upcoming
transfer will be interesting because I´m am now a trainer and it will be for
only four weeks. ¡Estoy muy feliz! I definitely do not consider myself even
worthy to train but I think heavenly father knows I can do it. I want to tell you
all that I love you guys. And I love being here.

I am Eating!
Sorry I'm so bad at this. It's something I need to improve. Sorry this will be a little short. Pdays are
the fastest days for me. This
week was great in both growth and events. My Spanish has improved so much that
I can actually keep a conversation.
Here are some videos so you can see that I am alive and well.

This will be very short.
This has been a hectic day because of Festivos. Would
you believe that there is an actually day every week with the reason that
people just don´t
want to work. We have to buy everything during the week now. :( But I still
love being here and doing the lords work.
We have a large group of people feed us miembros y

for that. I´ll
send pics of things I make from scratch.

Las Buenas Cosas Vendrán
![]() |
¡Correr de Toros! |
The bull fights came and I
have no actual pictures of the bulls. I have videos but the videos are too big
to send. Sorry. Other than that I am staying in Guadalajara, España (not the
city in Mexico that everyone says). Not going to lie this has been a rough area
for me. I talk to angry Spanish people all day but it takes a lot to scare me
off. I love them so much that I talk to every person I see. Literally, every
person I see. I´ve been smacked by people because they thought I was annoying. (I´m
not annoying, I´m persistent.) But the Lord always makes a way for us to feel
peace and joy. A quote that comes to my head all the time, tells us what the
exact definition of peace is. “Peace is not silence and no worries, but in the
midst of devastation and the unknown, you still find peace”.
I love the address that the
prophet Thomas S. Monson gave in the conference during Sunday morning. About
being an example and a light. First, be an example in your conversations. Use
words that are of love to others and have love to those who struggle with it.
Be an example of the savior´s charity to others. When you give a service to
another person, you will receive seven-fold of what you have given. Be an
example of a good spirit. To me that means we strive to have in our lives
kindness, gratitude, forgiveness, and goodwill. Be an example of faith. “In
order to gain and to keep the faith we need, it is essential that we read and
study and ponder the scriptures. Communication with our Heavenly Father through
prayer is vital.”
Be an example of purity. “We
need to be clean in body, mind, and spirit to be worthy to have the Holy Ghost.
“Purity will bring us peace of mind and will qualify us to receive the Savior’s
promises.”
When we live to be the best
possible example we can be, Las buenas cosas vendrán. (Good things will come)

Love, Elder Trevor Broadbent
P.S. my favorite hobby is
cooking now. Elder Nash is happy for that. And I am truly grateful to be here
in Guadalajara on a mission for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints.

Scriptures
Short message this week. The scriptures are one of the best tools against the adversary. I learned that this week during one of our morning studies. The scriptures teach us of people who are much older than ourselves. But their stories are just as powerful now as they were then.

Bulls and Parties!
We survived the bulls and
the parties! Some the parties stayed up till 5 o'clock in the
morning. Where we live right outside of one of them, they were so loud they woke us up in the middle of the night. And the bull
runs were are right outside of our Piso. But the bull runs and the parties are
over now which makes me a little bit happy. We will be able to contact people
on the street more and not worry so much of being caught in big groups. And we
will also be able to meet with more people in their houses and have more
lessons.
Funny story of the week. We were at an
investigators house and he was playing Michael Jackson for us. It was Thriller
to be exact and I want to dance to it. The person's name is Jose and he is the
funniest guy I've ever met here. It was dancing around doing the thriller walk
and being a very fine zombie. He was clawing at me and making the sounds of
Michael Jackson. Then I started dancing I did the Thriller walk. But I went a
little too far ahead. I slid to the right and I came up and clap my hands.
Between my hands I heard a crack. I broke his lamp, I broke his chandelier.
That is the end of that story.
View from our piso. |
We
don't have many progressive investigators, but we met this family that had the
missionaries before. We talked and were able to set up a time to meet this
week. They seem to be the perfect family and I'm very excited to teach them. I
pray that we can be able to have the spirit with us when we meet. That reminds
me prayer is the best thing to gain faith. You can literally ask for anything.
Ask to receive insight in a problem you have, to have strength within your
families, or simply to have a good day. But I find the better part is the
opportunity to say thank you. Some of you might be thinking, why is that
the better part. It's a chance to reflect on who we and what we are. Thanking
someone shows that you recognize their work within your life and you appreciate
their help. And I am thankful for all that I have. My family, friends, mission,
I can give a never ending of things I'm grateful for. I know that they all come
from our father in heaven.

A meeting of area in Pavones.

I
know that we are children of God. That he knows us personally and wants us to
live with eternal happiness. I know that we all receive answers to our prayers.
I also know that answers may come now, later, or even into the next life. I can
give a personal witness that prayer is a great blessing that God has given us.
That through prayer will be strengthened to endure hardships and trials. And
that prayer is used both in good time and bad time. I know these things to be
true without a doubt in my body.

Guadalajara
Me and Elder Nash |
Well Guadalajara´s very small compared to Madrid but the people are the same. This week is fair week for the city and they party hard every night. There´s a parade each afternoon and at night for two weeks straight. There´s rock concerts in every park every night. Just thousands of people clogging the small streets of guadalajara. And every morning there is a running of the bulls in the main road. And it all ends with a bull fight in the bull ring.
Funny story of the week. oh. A little old lady about a yard stick tall gave us pamphlets from her bishop and started talking to us. She was saying something when a young girl not dressed appropriately passes by us. The old lady then yells and cusses her out. ¨What you are wearing is disgusting¨ she said. ¨Go home and change this instant!¨That little old lady is so funny. We were able to give a Book of Mormon in the end and said she´ll look at it.
One thing I learned this week is that everyone can receptive to the gospel. old or young. We all have that light within us to accept the gospel. sometimes that light has a shadow placed over it. The shadow may be very close to the light that it almost envelopes it. But the light of light bulb is constant (given that everything is functioning correctly). While the shadow changes constantly as the day goes by. Make sure that you are the light of the world. because we all have the potential to be a light to any one who has shadow covering theirs.

Pointless to fear man, the family is ordained of God
Thanks for all the things you're doing for me but I'm really fine. Yes this is
a hard work but it's worth it. But I'm gaining weight back so don't worry. I'm
here doing what God wants me to do. I realized that on my mission. When we put
our whole faith in God and leave have no doubt that he will bless us. Our lives
are so much easier and you will be more confident in things that you are doing.
As long as those things are good in the eyes of God.
One scripture story that testifies of this is when Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego refused to worship the idol built by king Nebuchadnezzar. They were cast into a fire for their actions. But they had full faith that God would save them if it were for a righteous cause. For their faith in God to save them from the fires of the furnace, God saved them and he was there with them. I'm not saying that I'll be thrown into a furnace but I will not fear what may happen if I know I'm doing is what God wants. I love you guys.
Transfers are here now and I'm in Guadalajara
now! My new companion is Elder Nash and he's from California. He just turned 22
yesterday and he has 16 months on the mission. And I have a good feeling about
this area. Yes I'm sad to leave Barrio 5 but I'm called of God to preach in
this area now. I know that for a fact now.

I'm
not sure why but I feel I need to share this talk with you guys. One thing I
know for sure is that the family is ordained of God and that this could
possibly be my favorite talk of the importance of family. I love you mom
and dad. And I'm grateful to be your son. Thank you for being the example I
hope to be when I have a family of my own. I never realized it until I came on
a mission is that my greatest dream is to be a father. It no longer matters
what job I'll have, where I'll live, or how beautiful my wife will be. My
biggest dream is to be a father. Thank you.
And a Little Child
Shall Lead Them
By President Boyd K.
Packer
Husbands
and wives should understand that their first calling--from which they will
never be released--is to one another and then to their children.
Years
ago on a cold night in a train station in Japan, I heard a tap on the window of
my sleeper car. There stood a freezing boy wearing a ragged shirt with a dirty
rag tied about a swollen jaw. His head was covered with scabies. He held a
rusty tin can and a spoon, the symbol of an orphan beggar. As I struggled to
open the door to give him money, the train pulled out.
I will never forget that starving little boy left standing in the
cold, holding up an empty tin can. Nor can I forget how helpless I felt as the
train slowly pulled away and left him standing on the platform.
Some years later in Cusco, a city high in the Andes of Peru, Elder A.
Theodore Tuttle and I held a sacrament meeting in a long, narrow room that
opened onto the street. It was night, and while Elder Tuttle spoke, a little
boy, perhaps six years old, appeared in the doorway. He wore only a ragged
shirt that went about to his knees.
On our left was a small table with a plate of bread for the sacrament.
This starving street orphan saw the bread and inched slowly along the wall
toward it. He was almost to the table when a woman on the aisle saw him. With a
stern toss of her head, she banished him out into the night. I groaned within
myself.
Later the little boy returned. He slid along the wall, glancing from the
bread to me. When he was near the point where the woman would see him again, I
held out my arms, and he came running to me. I held him on my lap.
Then, as something symbolic, I set him on Elder Tuttle’s chair. After
the closing prayer the hungry little boy darted out into the night.
When I returned home, I told President Spencer W. Kimball about my
experience. He was deeply moved and told me, “You were holding a nation on your
lap.” He said to me more than once, “That experience has far greater meaning
than you have yet come to know.”
As I have visited Latin American countries nearly 100 times, I have
looked for that little boy in the faces of the people. Now I do know what
President Kimball meant.
I met another shivering boy on the streets of Salt Lake City. It was
late on another cold winter night. We were leaving a Christmas dinner at a
hotel. Down the street came six or eight noisy boys. All of them should have
been at home out of the cold.
One boy had no coat. He bounced about very rapidly to stave off the
chill. He disappeared down a side street, no doubt to a small, shabby apartment
and a bed that did not have enough covers to keep him warm.
At night, when I pull the covers over me, I offer a prayer for those who
have no warm bed to go to.
I was stationed in Osaka, Japan, when World War II closed. The city was
rubble, and the streets were littered with blocks, debris, and bomb craters.
Although most of the trees had been blasted away, some few of them still stood
with shattered limbs and trunks and had the courage to send forth a few twigs
with leaves.
A tiny girl dressed in a ragged, colored kimono was busily gathering
yellow sycamore leaves into a bouquet. The little child seemed unaware of the
devastation that surrounded her as she scrambled over the rubble to add new
leaves to her collection. She had found the one beauty left in her world.
Perhaps I should say she was the beautiful part of her world. Somehow, to think
of her increases my faith. Embodied in the child was hope.
Mormon taught that “little children are alive in Christ” and need not
repent.
Around the turn of the previous century, two missionaries were
laboring in the mountains of the southern United States. One day, from a
hilltop, they saw people gathering in a clearing far below. The missionaries
did not often have many people to whom they might preach, so they made their
way down to the clearing.
A little boy had drowned, and there was to be a funeral. His
parents had sent for the minister to “say words” over their son. The
missionaries stood back as the itinerant minister faced the grieving father and
mother and began his sermon. If the parents expected to receive comfort from
this man of the cloth, they would be disappointed.
He scolded them severely for not having had the little boy
baptized. They had put it off because of one thing or another, and now it was
too late. He told them very bluntly that their little boy had gone to hell. It
was their fault. They were to blame for his endless torment.
After the sermon was over and the grave was covered, the elders
approached the grieving parents. “We are servants of the Lord,” they told the
mother, “and we have come with a message for you.” As the sobbing parents
listened, the two elders read from the revelations and bore their testimony of
the restoration of the keys for the redemption of both the living and the dead.
I have some sympathy for that preacher. He was doing the best he
could with such light and knowledge as he had. But there is more that he should
have been able to offer. There is the fullness of the gospel.
The elders came as comforters, as teachers, as servants of the
Lord, as authorized ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
These children of whom I spoke represent all of our Heavenly
Father’s children. “Children are an heritage of the Lord: and … happy is the
man that hath his quiver full of them.”
The creation of life is a great responsibility for a married couple. It
is the challenge of mortality to be a worthy and responsible parent. Neither
man nor woman can bear children alone. It was meant that children have two
parents--both a father and a mother. No other pattern or process can replace
this one.
Long ago a woman tearfully told me that as a college student she had
made a serious mistake with her boyfriend. He had arranged for an abortion. In
due time they graduated and were married and had several other children. She
told me how tormented she now was to look at her family, her beautiful
children, and see in her mind the place, empty now, where that one child was
missing.
If this couple understands and applies the Atonement, they will know
that those experiences and the pain connected with them can be erased. No pain
will last forever. It is not easy, but life was never meant to be either easy
or fair. Repentance and the lasting hope that forgiveness brings will always be
worth the effort.
Another young couple tearfully told me they had just come from a doctor
where they were told they would be unable to have children of their own. They
were brokenhearted with the news. They were surprised when I told them that
they were actually quite fortunate. They wondered why I would say such a thing.
I told them their state was infinitely better than that of other couples who
were capable of being parents but who rejected and selfishly avoided that
responsibility.
I told them, “At least you want children, and that desire will weigh
heavily in your favor in your earthly lives and beyond because it will provide
spiritual and emotional stability. Ultimately, you will be much better off
because you wanted children and could not have them, as compared to those who
could but would not have children.”
Still others remain unmarried and therefore childless. Some, due to
circumstances beyond their control, are raising children as single mothers or
single fathers. These are temporary states. In the eternal scheme of
things--not always in mortality--righteous yearning and longing will be
fulfilled.
“If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most
miserable.”
The ultimate end of all activity in the Church is to see a husband and
his wife and their children happy at home, protected by the principles and laws
of the gospel, and sealed safely in the covenants of the everlasting
priesthood. Husbands and wives should understand that their first calling--from
which they will never be released--is to one another and then to their
children.
One of the great discoveries of parenthood is that we learn far more
about what really matters from our children than we ever did from our parents.
We come to recognize the truth in Isaiah’s prophecy that “a little child shall
lead them.”
In Jerusalem, “Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the
midst of them,
“And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as
little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
“Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same
is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”
“Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto
me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
“And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.”
We read in the Book of Mormon of the visit of Jesus Christ to the New
World. He healed and blessed the people and commanded that the little children
should be brought to Him.
Mormon records, “They brought their little children and set them down
upon the ground round about him, and Jesus stood in the midst; and the
multitude gave way till they had all been brought unto him.”
He then commanded the people to kneel. With the children around Him, the
Savior knelt and offered a prayer to our Father in Heaven. After the prayer the
Savior wept, “And he took their little children, one by one, and blessed them,
and prayed unto the Father for them.
“And when he had done this he wept again.”
I can understand the feelings expressed by the Savior toward children.
There is much to be learned from following His example in seeking to pray for,
bless, and teach “those little ones.”
I was number 10 in a family of 11 children. So far as I know, neither
my father nor my mother served in a prominent calling in the Church.
Our parents served faithfully in their most important calling--as
parents. Our father led our home in righteousness, never with anger or fear.
And the powerful example of our father was magnified by the tender counsel of
our mother. The gospel is a powerful influence in the life of every one of us
in the Packer family and to the next generation and the next generation and the
next, as far as we have seen.
I hope to be judged as good a man as my father. Before I hear
those words “well done” from my Heavenly Father, I hope to first hear them from
my mortal father.
Many times I have puzzled over why I should be called as an Apostle and
then as the President of the Quorum of the Twelve in spite of having come from
a home where the father could be termed as less active. I am not the only
member of the Twelve who fits that description.
Finally I could see and understand that it may have been because of that
circumstance that I was called. And I could understand why in all that we do in
the Church, we need to provide the way, as leaders, for parents and children to
have time together as families. Priesthood leaders must be careful to make the
Church family-friendly.
There are many things about living the gospel of Jesus Christ that
cannot be measured by that which is counted or charted in records of
attendance. We busy ourselves with buildings and budgets and programs and
procedures. In so doing, it is possible to overlook the very spirit of the
gospel of Jesus Christ.
Too often someone comes to me and says, “President Packer, wouldn’t it
be nice if …?”
I usually stop them and say no, because I suspect that what follows will
be a new activity or program that is going to add a burden of time and
financial means on the family.
Family time is sacred time and should be protected and respected. We
urge our members to show devotion to their families.
When we were first married, my wife and I decided that we would accept
the children that would be born to us with the responsibility attending their
birth and growth. In due time they have formed families of their own.
Twice in our marriage, at the time of the births of two of our little
boys, we have had a doctor say, “I do not think you are going to keep this
one.”
Both times this brought the response from us that we would give our
lives if our tiny son could keep his. In the course of that offer, it dawned on
us that this same devotion is akin to what Heavenly Father feels about each of
us. What a supernal thought.
Now in the sunset of our lives, Sister Packer and I understand and
witness that our families can be forever. As we obey the commandments and live
the gospel fully, we will be protected and blessed. With our children and
grandchildren and great-grandchildren, our prayer is that each one of our
growing family will have that same devotion toward those precious little ones.
Fathers and mothers, next time you cradle a newborn child in your arms,
you can have an inner vision of the mysteries and purposes of life. You will
better understand why the Church is as it is and why the family is the basic
organization in time and in eternity. I bear witness that the gospel of Jesus
Christ is true, that the plan of redemption, which has been called the plan of
happiness, is a plan for families. I pray the Lord that the families of the
Church will be blessed, parents and children that this work will roll forth as
the Father intends. I bear this witness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
I love you all. Thank you for all you do for me and I really appreciate all your prayers and love.

I'm alright.

One thing I learned this week is that the gospel is true without a
doubt in my mind. I should be sad about my grandfather passing away. But I feel
no need to be sad. I know where he is, and that he is still my grandfather. So
I've been energized to talk more, smile more, and work more because I have this
knowledge. I love being here. It took me some time but, I love being here. Mi
propósito es para testificar de Jesucristo. Yo sé que él vive. (My purpose is to testify
of Jesus Christ. I know he lives.)

I am now legal! We went to the government
buildings and now I have my residency card. I have to go back in one year to
renew it but I'm legal now! The work here is slow in the summer. Everyone's on
vacation now and we are doing a lot of work in the ward. Nothing much happened
today other than I went to grab my card. Tomorrow will be better.
Miercoles 29 de Julio 2015 (Wednesday, July 29, 2015)
Had an intercambio
with Elder Esquien again today. We did a few lessons with the people that he
and his companion have. I also gave a talk to the district today and it was
alright.
Jueves 30 de Julio 2015 (Thursday, July 30, 2015)
I had an
intercambio with Elder Farmer today. He is has less time on the mission then I
do. But one thing for sure is that he is doing better then I was when I had his
time. We taught a family tonight and it was rough but it worked out fine.
Viernes 31 de Julio 2015 (Friday, July 31, 2015)
Today was one of
the roughest day of my life. I just had no desire to talk to anyone. My Spanish
was just horrible and wanted to come home. Then I prayed to our father in
heaven with all my heart and what energy I had and more. I received an answer
from him. And he said, "You need to stay." So I am staying on the mission.
