Hello!Well things are going great down here. Time is truly flying by demasiado fastly and it seems untrue that we are midway through May. I am truly looking for the ability to change my complete self into a more worth faithful bolder servant of the Lord. I read the stories of Alma, Amulek, Ammon, especially Nefi and Lehi the brothers and with how much power and authority they truly taught. I read those stories and know that, if someone were to be as faithful and true in fasting and praying and sacrificing time energies and emotions in this great work, they could really become as one of them, after all we are all children of God. I know the scriptures are here to give us the example, teach and guide us. Those stories are as true now as they were back then. But it all comes down to faith and obedience. The more obedient I am i gain more faith, and the more faith i have the more easier it is to be obedient. I love this work. I know it is true. I know that Satan is angry when we try our best and he wants our investigators in his hands. i know that fasting is a protection for them. Like Ive said many times, it has been amazing to have the chance to serve a long side my sister, a great missionary, and my brother (cuñado pues quien sabe) Elder Sanchez, an example to the world. I know they are serving with allk their hearts and it strengthens me to do the same as well. I know this church is true, and the Jesus is the Christ, I have learned so many things on the mission that i hope to never forget, and i still have so much yet to learn. I hope you all have a great week and can search for the spirit in your daily lives.
Love Elder Redfern

Hola a todos!!

Hugo was confirmed yesterday and in his blessing Hno Perez said that he would be an instrument in bringing many souls to the Kingdom of God. He is progressing really well and it is so fun to hear about all the changes that have happened with him since he was baptized last week.
We are continuing to see miracles happen. I feel truly blessed to be apart of this work. This Sunday Cristian Ortiz came to church by himself and he was sitting before sacrament started which is more punctual then many of the members. He is 21 and a very prepared young man. The other day I asked him why it is that he wants to listen to us and he told me that he wants to progress and learn how he can avoid sinning. His answer was so tender and so pure. And he was just a regular contact in the street that we almost didn’t past by because of the lack of time that we had.
I am continuing to learn more and more about myself as the mish goes on. I thought that by now many of my faults would diminish but I am reminded constantly that there is always so much more I can do. I was reading in Mosiah this morning where King Benjamin addresses the people from his tower and he reminds them that they are NOTHING and compares them to the dust of the earth. When they realize that these things are true they bow themselves to God out of fear and plead for forgiveness. They repent of their sins and then it says that they are filled with the spirit and are filled with joy and happiness. We must humble ourselves before our God. We must recognize that we are nothing ask for forgiveness and then the Lord can bless us with the Spirit which then brings joy and happiness to our lives. Want to have more joy and happiness. Repent! Daily we must plead with the Lord, we must humble ourselves and then we will find joy in our lives. I know these things are true and I know that true happiness lies within repentance. I love you all with all of my heart.
Keep the FAITH!!!!
