El: might, strength. In Hebrew and related languages it designates "divine being" many biblical names emply El with other words such as Bethel "house of God" , Eleazar "God has helped".
Possibly the best known use of El is in Elohim, a plural form signifying the almighty or omnipotent, a name applied to the Father.

The last multizone of President Klein
We did a quintet of Be Still My Soul as a musical number and Pres. LOVED it. #winning I was so proud of my companion for singing it in english, she did a really good job!
They explained to us that we were now allowed to use sunglasses and hats and what not but i've been using sunnies since I got here tbh
Pres. said that the sun shouldn't be a problem because we should always be inside teaching. Our shoes should be new but our pants and skirts worn out from sitting down so much hahah.
I'm gonna be honest tho, I cried in the closing hymn, I'm going to miss President and Sister Klein so much! They are amazing amazing amazing. But three years is a long time, and they need to go home. :(

"Salvation of one's soul comes only by personal integrity and willing obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel"
Dude Joseph was in prison for more the two years in Egypt because his homie the butler didn't put in a good word for him when he got out #cold But if he would have gotten out, he wouldn't have been able to interpret Pharaohs dream! Crazy how some things work out. Like two whole years in prison for absolutely no reason!

Trying to get a companion that's finishing their mission next week to do weekly planning with you........

"The Lord has revealed himself and his perfect character, possessing in their fulness all the attributes of love, knowledge, justice, mercy, unchangeableness, power, and every other needful thing, so as to enable the mind of man to place confidence in him without reservation"
"who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Am not I the Lord? Now therefore GO, and I will be with they mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say" Exodus 4:11-12
Today was fun.........my camera is broken and we walked a TON and had only 2 lessons.......
The only part that I liked was giving away the coconut bread that we made, everyone that we gave a piece to was so happy to recieve it and said that we bake like garifunas (the original makers of coconut bread)

Jesus wants ME for a sunbeam,
to shine FOR HIM each day.
Today was ruff. My comp is pretty much over it all hahah
I asked her what she wanted to do, "rest"
girl you can rest in your house when you're done!
Okay so today we had our first lesson with Maribel! She told us about how she was homeless for 6 years and had to raise children like that and how she sat there and heard her son getting shot and killed without knowing that it was her own boy that they were firing at :( She's only 50 but she has the eyes of ages and so dim and so sad.
She told us that the other missionaries she'd met before had helped her to leave all her vices and that she's ready now to be baptized.

Fear: "fear is spoken of as something unworthy of a child of God...the first effect of Adam's sin was that he was afraid. Sin destroys that feeling of confidence God's children should feel in a loving Father, and produces instead a feeling of shame and guilt. Ever since the Fall, God has been teaching men not to fear, but with penitence to ask forgiveness in full confidence of receiving it"

Mango banana orange smoothie to start off ma p'day #Iamjambajuice
Mièrcoles 21 de Junio:
I told my comp to call a taxi and our normal driver (hno Summer) was busy, would take about 20 min, so she didn't know what to do.
I told her to look for a different contact in the phone that's a taxi driver. She calls the contact "taxi driver" it's hermano Summer, but she doesn't recognize his boice but he comes anyway lol.
We went to one of her old areas, Por Venir, to say goodbye to the people there and at one point she asked me "where should we go?" "this is your thing girl"
I think the girl has been junior companion her whole mission haha she's so sweet.
Mièrcoles 22 de Junio
we went to the bus stop for all the transfers. And it was just like ahg, coming here and dying is just a transfer away for me. I got to hug Hermana Torres and Hermana Alvarez goodbye.
Haight sent a package! A bunch of melted chocolate and a collage thing in a picture frame. The card make me remember how much I love her.

Exaltation: El màximo estado de felicidad y gloria dentro del reino celestial
Today was a trial of patience
I tried to figure out why they cut the power and the power company assured me that they had not. After a ton of running around (including locking they keys in the door and having hno sumer open it again with a card) we finally got the problem resolved: turns out the apartment above us hasn't paid, but instead of cutting their power they cut ours.
Every single appointment fell but at least my companion is awesome and we have a good time.

I made us oatmeal pancakes with fig jam and honey on top :)
"Although God created things and is the ruler of the universe, being omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent (through his spirit) mankind has a special relationship to him that differentiates man from all other created things: man is literally God's offspring, made in his image, whereas all other things are but the work of his hands."
"Latter-day revelation confirms the biblical account of God as the literal father of the human family: as a being who is concerned for the welfare of mankind, and a personage who hears and answers prayers."
Leticia told us that she was baptized at 12 years of age because that's how old Jesus was when he got baptized....what....
Sharon, this cute little girl, was looking at a picture of Christ so I asked her
"quièn es èl?"
"Dios"
"No, es Jesucristo"
"Oh, se parece a Dios"
Translation:
"Who is that?"
"God"
"No, it's Jesus Christ"
"Oh, he looks like God"

"It is...through the grace of the Lord that individuals, through faith in the atonement of Jesus Christ and repentance of their sins, receive strenth and assistance to do good works that they otherwise would not be able to maintain if left to their own means. This grace is an enabling power that allows men and women to lay hold on eternal life and exaltation after they have expended their own best efforts"

Jovan tells me today "your voice is like a magical dolphin" Thanks?
Sharon, same little girl, tells me "que gordita esta"
We met the strangest child today, THis little garifuna would roll her eyes back and then lunge out at us and yell. She did this like 5 times in a row with us laughing a ton and then all of the sudden she's like "ya no" and stops.
