One Year of Miracles in Monterrey!

Wow! It is quite insane looking at all the events that have gone on in this past year!
WE had a wonderful week this past week and even with the scorching sun, we are seeing a lot of wonderful little miracles!
The Ramos Family after seeing many struggles with their schedule is going to be baptized in two weeks!  We have seen a lot of wonderful little miracles with them and the Hermana Nubia is so spiritually prepared! We are still seeing how the Lord is preparing them and we are just including all the members we can to help them feel loved and stay animated about their decisions!
We also had some miraculous experiences with the members because the Sisters were also able to baptize a complete family this past week and the family Galvan Medina are so wonderful and the Sister Ivonne bore a powerful spiritual witness of the veracity of the church and they are clearly on course to be sealed in the temple!

District Activity Bowling and Trampoline

We also had our district activity today which was great because we went bowling in a little plaza and it was great because due to recent changes in the zone our district has 12 missionaries now (3 normal companionships and 2 trios!) which has made things really wonderful! We have seen how the Lord is truly blessing our district with a support and love for each other which helps us stay really animated!  It was so great being with them and we found this cool 70s diner here that made some massive hamburgers that were absolutely delicious!
But as for a more spiritual side of things I saw this Mormon Message the past week in the Quorum de Elderes Class and dealing with how we minister to others!
It is an excerpt from the October 2016 conference talk by Elder Holland, Emissaries to the Church, which is absolutely beautiful!  I know that the Lord has given us the capacity to bless those around us through small and simple means!  I know that as we strive to love as the Savior loved and demonstrate our gratitude for all of the wonderful blessings we receive gracias a ร‰l (thanks to Him) we can be angeles here upon the earth to those around us!  This past week my companion and I were studying Alma 13 in companionship study and we were discussing how as missionaries and members of the church we can oftentimes be these mortal angels that others need in order to receive the gospel, referring to verse 24, and I know that every charitable act done with a pure heart will be purifying to us!  I would like to invite you to find someone to serve and be able to apply as well the new videos of the church that were shared about how to share the gospel with others that are in this link;
And that we can all strive to model these simple examples and see those who need our love and support!
I love every wonderful and charitable act that you have ever done and for the many examples that you all have given me of how Christ always looked to serve others!
Til next week!
Elder Raven
