Missionary Moment - Puerto Rico San Juan & Dominican Republic Santo Domingo West


 

Good morning all! I hope your all killing it out there day by day! 

 This week is a little different as I want to share something that we are being taught very steadily by our dear Heacenly Father and leaders of His divine restored church through His divine revelation and love which captivates an Eternal Family. 

 What is an Eternal family and what does that mean? 

The truth is that it can mean many things but basically it comes down to the willingness as a family to be perpetuated beyond the grave, to be sealed together and live with each other forever, always progressing and trying to be better in the presence of God and His son Jesus Christ. Eternal life or Exaltation has always been a family matter as Salvation is much more personal. Salvation comes to all as we do as our Loving heavenly asks of us and inevitably Eternal life and Exaltation fall into place as we keep on and stay obedient to Heavenly Father's loving instructions. 

As we learn the basics and the gifts of the ability to live with each other forever we can come to except and act upon what is being asked of us. From the very beginning of my mission I was told something that I will never forget my Spanish teacher in the MTC who had told us that, "Heaven is not heaven without my family". 

 I think about this phrase so many times, sometimes more than once a day. As I think about this phrase I wonder why is it that so many people will not be able to enjoy a blessing such as this. Sometimes I fear that I will loose this blessing as I have family struggles much like everyone else. God does have a plan for us. He loves us and wants our Eternal happiness and progression. Much of that progression is meant to be made here however. Many of you might say this comes down to a very black and white personality but unfortunately the second coming of Jesus Christ comes closer every day and much of us have such a long way to go including myself. 

 Heaven in not heaven without my family. I urge each of you, all of you, friends and family alike to think about what that means and what changes in your life need to be made so that we can all live with our families forever and ever in the sacred joyful presence of Heavenly Father and His son our Savior Jesus Christ. 

 Remember we are here in this time and place for a reason and each of us has a part to play in these last days. 

I love you guys so very much! Each of you are so important to me and the reason I feel the constant need to show everybody else the blessings that await them as they act.
