He lived in our area so they gave him to us and we called him as soon as we got the text and set up an apt for that night. This guy was a gift from God. He was baptized in Lakewood two years ago but was never confirmed and so he needed to be baptized again. He knew all the lessons and listed them in order for us. He went on to tell us what the law of chastity and word of wisdom are. We were able to meet with him every day this week and he was on Saturday. It was a very spiritual experience, as a companionship.  Things are going very well here in Parkland. This is the last week before transfers so we will see what happens next.  Love, Elder Chacon postmaster@cvs.com 9:07 PM (0 minutes ago) to me This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Raining Again

another week down in the watac. The rain has come and another winter in hell has started. The football season has started so the peoples tolerance of us has decreased. The people here are crazy about there team. 

So i dont have much time, but this sunday a man from the high council spoke and i liked the story he shared. 

He is a bigger(tall and muscular) and went to the dentist for his teeth cleaning and he does not like the dentist, so the lady did every thing she could to relax him. she had him dip his hads in wax and pput these mittins on and she played instrumental  music. He was sitting in the chair when he said he i know this song. and she said yeah i love this song, someone gave it to me. She said it really relaxes her and gives her peace. He said to her do you want to know the words to this song. He said it goes like this. Keep the commandments, keep the commandments in this there is safety in this there is peace. 

i just liked the story because it just goes to show as president monson said  the commandments arnt there to restrict us and cause us frustration, but the opposite. 

so i love all of you and keep the commandments.... all of them...not just the easy ones. 

Grateful to be taught well and learn from others mistakes

It’s been another good week in the WaTac. We did a lot of knocking and I have had the blessing of dealing with a bunch of adult real life situations that has taught me a lot.  Throughout my whole mission I have dealt with a large amount of people that don’t know how to manage their life. I have learned what I don’t want to do, and what I need to do to have a good life!  I am soooooooo grateful to have grown up in Corona, with the parents I have and the influences that surrounded me, so many people just don’t have that!  

 21 And now that my soul might have joy in you, and that my heart might leave this world with gladness because of you, that I 

might not be brought down with grief and sorrow to the grave, arise

 from the dust, my sons, and be men, and be determined in one mind 

and in one heart, united in all things that ye may not come down into captivity.

(2 Nephi 1:21)  

I can hear my mission president saying this to me. I like it because it’s a pump up scripture. So that’s what I’ve pondered this week.

Love your boring son,

Do Unto Others - Sept 2016

So with just a short time frame between emailing sessions not much has happened, However i have had time to reflect on this statement mad by Elder Uceada,"There are no disobedient Gods on the universe."  Its one of thoes statements that we allready knew but when its phrased so simply it makes so much more sense. There is a quote in Preach My Gospel that says something to the effect that true intelligence is the ability to take something complex and unfold it simply so a child can understand. I love when the simple things click for me. So thats what i have been trying to do is follow the rules the best i can. So it was hard but i gave all my cool socks away:(.... now just black hahah but i think the little dumb things that we think dont matter, do. I know there are a good amount of people who read this, and i know im Just that mormon missionary that is all hyped up on the spirit and I can see it now, all the rm's thinking i remeber i was like that. But even so here is my challenge.

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

What is one thing you can do better. Something small. Then tell someone and do it.  Im going to be doing this myself each week. 

love elder chacon
