Run for the Prize!

A while back while sitting in a lesson with J.J. a member, he suddenly said, "Plan for the best, Expect the worst." His comment had my mind reeling for the next couple of days. How does one plan for the best but yet expect the worst? "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain." 1st Corinthians 9:24 Thinking about this scripture makes me think of running, now for most of you who know me I DO NOT like to run, I will do it but only if I have too. Now this scripture does not refer to us running physically (although, if you do run in a race...you want to be in first place to obtain the prize.) but to us it means running spiritual...

It soon shall pass.

For the last couple of days I have really felt the love of my Savior for me. I have come to know that he loves me and knows me and he truly did die for me by name. Although I know this, I still struggle some days to even keep my head up in the dark, deep, churning waters. Yet, "I am encircled about eternally in the arms of his love." (2nd Nephi 1:15) How is it possible to keep afloat on our belief and faith on the Savior Jesus Christ admist the storms of life? Although I am no expert on exactly how (since we are all different), I know the way that he has helped to keep me afloat. In Helaman 5: 12 it says, "And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is...

Because of my Mother

This is my Mother, Lucy Servellon Lately, I have been thinking about my mother and the great impact she has had on my life. I am not trying to sound biased or anything, but my mother is the best mother that I could have ever asked for. To me, she is the best mother in the whole entire world, no the whole entire universe. Because of her, I am who I am today. So this blog post is dedicated to her. My mother came from humble circumstances in El Salvador. There she was prepared to hear the message of the restored gospel and both her and my Grandmother Cruz were baptized. My mother, has not had an easy life, she has had to work her whole life to be where she is at today. She now works as...

The impact of kindness

Lately, I have been thinking about compassion, kindness, and love. This last week Sister Cluff and I had an encounter that shocked us and brought a new level of compassion into our missionary work. We were headed to an appointment when we felt impressed to take a different road. As we headed that direction we had to stop at the stoplight and right in front of us was a Patriot Gas Station and there lying on the gravel parking lot was a man face down. We both looked at each other and wondered if he was even alive! We saw that plenty of people would walk up to him, look down at him and then walk away. The Store Manager even walked by and didn't do a thing. When we arrived we asked around if anyone...
