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)

I love you all and you all are in my prayers. Remember that when we are a light to world, blessings 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.
