20 Years Old

Don't have much time but we went back into Barrio 5 and had cake that a Bulgarian man made for me. Very odd to think that I'll have one year in the mission soon. I love you all next week will be an actual letter.

Back to Madrid!

Elder Broadbent and Elder Kamimoto

 

Ponder, ponder , ponder

Hi, I'm in Madrid again and the area is so small. It is smaller than Hyrum. It will take some time to get used to everything again. My new companion is named Èlder Kamimoto. He's from la ciudad de pecados or Las Vegas. He's only been here for six months but he speaks Spanish like he's been here for 3 years. His dad has Japanese blood so that's where he received his name. This area is the temple ward and I love it. Not much happened this week other than that. We have been running errands for transfers and things like that. Perks of having the MTC in the area but the temple is beautiful. I love the temple. So excited to see it for the next six weeks.

Added note from Trevor's mom: Trevor has been made a district leader. More work and responsibility but I know he can do it with the Lord's help!

New area and new people.

  Iré y haré lo que el Señor ha mandado, porque sé que él nunca da
mandamientos a los hijos de los hombres sin prepararles una vía para
que cumplan lo que les ha mandado. (Nefi 3:7)

     Well I'm going back into Madrid now. To an area that has the
temple now. I'll be able to see it every week now and that is a huge
blessing. My new companion is Èlder Kamimoto, he's from California and
still is younger than me in the mission. I think it's crazy I'm one of
the oldest ones here in this mission now. I have been told that I'm
hitting the top of the mountain now and will only go down as time goes
on.

     I have a question for you all, does God let us rest? Answer this
question in your own mind.

     27 Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause,
and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much
righteousness; (D&C 58:27)

     Gods wants us always to be engaged in a good cause. He'll keep
giving us blessings for our works and the work he assigns us. And when
gives us an assignment he knows we can achieve it. I can testify that
gods wants to be always of good works.

     45 Let thy bowels also be full of charity towards all men, and to
the household of faith, and let virtue garnish thy thoughts
unceasingly; then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of
God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distil upon thy soul as
the dews from heaven. (D&C 121:45)

I love you all and I know

that God loves you more.
