The Gospel!! - Mon 9/24/2018, Today, 4:25 PM

A pretty little bush on the street where we live.

Dear friends and family,

Not a whole ton happened this week, but it was pretty fun what did.

We had our zone conference this last week, and that was really cool. I learned a lot of stuff about how to be a better missionary. But something that really stood out to me is how Jesus Christ really is the center of all things. I know that He loves us and that He came to give us a helping hand. He knows how we feel better than any other person that has or ever will come to the earth.

I know that He lives, and that He loves us. Our Heavenly Father sent Him here for us, to save us from our sin. As we live the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ begins to flow through our lives and to cleanse us from our sin.

The Church is true, and the Gospel has been restored.

Love,

Elder DuBose

By small and simple things... - Mon 9/17/2018, 4:07 PM

Dear friends and family,

We had a zone conference this last week, and getting there we had a really cool experience. 

We were trying to find a taxi to take us to the stake center, and we had some really bad luck. We were there for like half an hour and every taxi that stopped by said, "It´s just that I dont go that far away. Sorry"

Then, someone passed by in their car, and told us that she was going the same way that we were. It was a miracle! We got in and started to talk about who we were and how everything was going for her and her family. We got a really good opportunity to share a message with her and she gave us her direction. She wasn't home this last week because of the Mexican Independence Day, but we are planning to go look for her later this week. 

It is by small and simple means that great things are brought to pass. This is the way that God has worked in my life, and I know that it is the way that He works in the lives of all of His children to bring to pass their salvation.

I love you guys!

Love,

Elder DuBose

p.s. some cool fotos of Aguascalientes. 

And the Mexican Flag (Viva México!)

The eagle statue marks the center of the Mexican Republic, which was pretty cool to learn about.

And a missionary had his birthday yesterday, so we bought him a cake and because he lives in a village, we gave it to him last night and went with him just to hangout today.

What a busy week! - Mon 9/10/2018, 2:33 PM

My companion and me

Dear family,

The other elders in our ward had their contract expire for their house, so they got to move in with us. It is a little crazy to have four elders in the same house, and not just have it be for a night or two, but it is pretty fun. 

We had a really jam packed week this last week. We found a family with a less active dad who hasn't been to church for like 10 years, and so his kids and his wife aren't members. We finally had the chance to teach them as a family, and it was an amazing lesson that we had. 

We brought one of the members with us and ... we all started crying at the end of the lesson. It really hit the dad hard. He is a big tought looking bald guy, so it kind of shook me up to see him start to cry, but it just shows that when the Spirit talks to us, we will recognize it, if we want to. He really wanted to. He started to explain to us how he has wanted something like this to happen for years, but he didn't want to force his wife to come to church with him. He wanted her to find out for herself. He still has a pretty strong testimony, but he had lost his hope. He found that again, and told us that he was going to do what he could to help his family come to church and to pray about what we had said.

God loves all of His children, and will send them the things that they need in the time that they need.

I know that is true!

Love,

Elder DuBose

It's all good. - Mon 9/3/2018, 2:17 PM

Elder Zarate and me.

Dear friends and family,

We had our transfers this last Tuesday, and it was quite the adventure. I'm in a ward called Jesus Maria and my companion is named Elder Zarate. He is from the south of Mexico, a state called Chiapas and he loves to sing and play music. He also really likes to work. He is a really good guy. 

I'm in a ward where there are like four missionaries, so that is really different from where I was at before.

But, things are going well. 

I know that the Church is true, and that it blesses families. It is the orginisation of God here on the earth to help us to progress.

God loves us!

Love,

Elder DuBose

p.s. I forgot to bring my adapter for the computer, so I don't have any pictures this week.Sorry.

p.p.s.  And here are some pictures...  We had to change the place that we were writing, so my SD card was able to load the pictures this time.

And then...
