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.

¡Estoy muy feliz!

   Mis queridos amigos y hermanos. Estoy muy agrecidos para estar aquí 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.

All Pictures

This week Trevor's email was all pictures and no words. At least we know he is alive and he looks like he is happy.
