Ayeeee wassup!!
Good yet rough week. first off, im
extremely sick, like a horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE cold. sounds like im a
pansy but for reals though it sucks. Jesus Christ knows my pain, he knows
wassup. Despite the really bad sickness, ive been persevering and working hard,
still teaching lessons, still learning in class, still feeling the spirit. they
keep telling me to rest and take care of myself. which is partially true...BUT
im here because i decided to serve! i need to learn and soak up all i can
before i head out to JAPAN ON MONDAY (wait what). Japanese improves every week.
lesson qualities improve every week as well. Still the same weekly report here
at the MTC so dont expect anything super exciting. WAIT until NEXT WEEK! Thats
where the real fun begins! I can’t tell you all how excited i am to go!
I got to see my old buddy Josh Child
from Oak Ridge Ward!!! oh my gosh that was so awesome hes doing so good! makes
me happy! Also saw my buddy Sam Sedgwick from Japanese Class! i had no idea he
even left on a mission till he showed up in the doorway of my classroom! so
that was really fun this week!
Had a skype session again last night
with Taguchi San. From CHINO HILLS. he knows wassup everyone back home go hit
him up, most beast 60 year old man who just hiked Mt. Whitney last week. really
cool really faithful member. he wants to meet me in corona after the mission!
Just countin down the days now,
thanks to everyone who has been a support to me on my mission and all the love
you've shown! really keeps me going! but i wouldn’t be able to do it without
our heavenly father and our savior. i love them so much.
Keep me in prayers and pray that i
get over this sickness before i leave!
Time is going SO FAST ITS SCARING ME, im so pumped
mom im so ready to preach the gospel. i went and bought books of Mormon at the
book store because best believe im sharing the gospel in the airport!!!!
everyone always
tells me, you will not get much baptisms in japan. i Hate that, i take it to
heart because really what theyre saying is, you cant do it,you are not capable.
I will make it what i make of it, i determine the outcome through the help
of the lord, i fear no man, and i WILL baptize many, even though number doesnt
matter. Im doing it for the lord
As members, we have a job to do. We
must assist the lord and the missionaries in finding his lost sheep. Member
Missionary Work is important! dont be afraid to open up your mouth and preach
the gospel. At Baptism, we all made a covenant with our heavenly father that we
will testify of him, live faithfully to his commandments and teachings, and
endure to the end. Once someone is baptized, you are not done, we must continue
to teach them and guide them and help them live up to their covenants. Dont
forget about the recent converts in your wards, as solid as we may think they
be, they may not be, thats why its important to keep going, and endure to the
end! Saigo Made Taeshinobu!
So long as you remember these
teachings, you will be okay. tell your seminary class, that I specifically
challenge them to become missionaries
NOW! They will be blessed like I am-I promise.
Tell them work hard, preach the
gospel! i love you all! And
good luck in teaching tomorrow mom and share these scriptures with them.
Isaiah 41:13
Matthew 10:16-20
16 ¶Behold,
I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye
therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
17 But
beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will
scourge you in their synagogues;
18 And ye
shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for
a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
19 But
when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak:
for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
but i gotta go momma, share that scripture,
and dont be afraid to share the gospel everyone, im out here on the front lines preaching to
the world, back home, you have a work to do as well. have faith, trust in the
lord, and you will be phenomenal. i love and miss you!
Your favorite Elder,
Elder Preciado
