Family and Friends, Well this week was a fantastic one because on Sunday I got to talk to my family for Mother's Day. I'm so grateful that all is well with them and that they are happy and that they support me in all that I do. I'm also very grateful for a wonderful mother who has always been there for me and has always shown me love and support.  Well some highlights of the week was our plan of salvation FHE that Sister DeLeon and I did with our branch. Every Thursday night the missionaries do FHE for our branch and this last Thursday was Sister DeLeon and I's turn. We played the game "Life" by using different doctrines from the plan of Salvation and we made a huge dice they they had to roll  in order to move spaces and the spaces had different scriptures on them that talked about the different stages of the plan of salvation. They really liked it, and it was a fun way to learn about the importance of "not procrastinating the day of your repentance," having faith in Christ, and enduring to the end. On Saturday we had a Mother's Day activity with the branch where people shared different talents, read Mother's Day poems, and we ate together. Us as missionaries were asked to participate so what we did was we shared three funny, and one serious, things that our mothers taught us. For example, one elder said his mom taught him how to shave his legs, and a sister said that her mom taught her that he brothers were not punching bags. The four things that my mom taught me are the following: 1. My mom taught me how to drive...after I about killed my dad one the first try 2. She taught me that we draw on paper not walls...thanks to writing my name on the garage wall and then denying that it was me. 3. Chocolate is an essential in life. 4. No matter what kind of mood I'm in, hugs are always needed. So there you have it, my mother has definitely taught me some great things over the years. Sister DeLeon and I are working hard to find news and to help our investigators progress. And as always there's always those obstacles that we have to overcome, but with the Lord's help anything is possible. We just have to trust in him and he will guide us."Go ye therefore, and teach all nations baptizing them in teh name of the Father, and the Son and the holy Ghost. I am with you always even unto the end." Matthew 28:19-20 This week I've had some really good study session that I've learned a lot from and I would like to share a couple of those thoughts with you. A: "Our destiny is not determined by the number of times we fail, but by the number of times we get up, dust ourselves off, and move forward."-President Utchdorft 2013 B: "Learn of me and listen to my words, walk in the meekness of my spirit and you shall have peace in me." DyC 19:23. C: "Teach them all things concerning things pertaining to righteousness, and exhort them daily, with all diligence." Alma21:23 I hope that we can all dust ourselves off and move forward and know that the Lord is always there to support us and help us in whatever situation He puts us in. I know that this gospel is true and I'm so grateful for the opportunity that I've had to serve him for the last 13 months as a missionary here in Belize. Remember that we are all missionaries and that we can all invite other to come unto Christ. Love, Sister Ontiveros  May 13, 2014
