Israel, Jesus os Llama

Hola familia y amigos!

 

We went to the temple on Wednesday to see Arlene and Josseline! It was quite magical. It was also so cool to see so many people from the fourth ward! Definitely a fun little reunion. We left our iPads in the car so I don't have any pictures but some members from the fourth ward will probably put pictures up on Facebook that I can steal later haha.

We had probably my favorite zone meeting so far on Thursday. My favorite part was when we spilt off into zones and the zone leaders had us do this awesome activity. The zone leaders along with the sweet Sister Woodbury took us all out to the back parking lot of the church and we each brought a chair and sat spread throughout the entire parking lot. After our chairs were set up we all met in the center and the zone leaders gave some small instruction. They didn't explain what exactly we were doing but said that everything would be silent and we would all be blindfolded. So after we were blindfolded and everything was quiet I just stood there for a while not really sure what was going on until Sister Woodbury guided me to a rope that I was able to follow for a while. After that we were asked to let go of the rope and she guided me to one of the seats that we had placed earlier. After sitting for some time and really trying to listen to figure out what was going on I heard our zone leaders and Sister Woodbury start singing, "Israel Israel God is Calling." And then it started to get louder and more powerful and by that point I knew that people were joining them so I somewhat hesitantly got up from my chair and walked toward the music! When I reached the group I took off my blindfold and saw the missionaries around me singing, and some still with blindfolds making their way to us. This was a really touching experience to me. Afterwards we discussed what we did and we could all feel the Spirit. I feel I learned a lot about faith and how sometimes even if we're not entirely sure it's what we need to do, we just have to follow the music. To me it just sounded like home! And then when we've found the source of that music we HAVE TO SING so we can help our brothers and sisters who are making their way. I absolutely loved that activity! I'd say more about it but I'm running really short on time.

Well we spent the day at our zone activity at the lake! It was so fun! We played ultimate frisbee and some other fun games. I really love our zone they're the best! Anyway I'm out of time but I love you all and I hope everyone has a great week! Write me sometime!

Keep smiling,

Israel, Jesús os llama

1.	Israel, Jesús os llama de las tierras de pesar.
	Babilonia va cayendo; Dios sus torres volcará.
	A Sión venid, pues, prestos, y Su ira evitad.
	A Sión venid, pues, prestos, y Su ira evitad.
2.	Israel, Jesús os habla; escuchad al Salvador.
	Ved romper un alba nueva para ̮el pueblo del Señor.
	A Sión venid, pues, prestos; en sus centros paz gozad.
	A Sión venid, pues, prestos; en sus centros paz gozad.
3.	De las cortes celestiales ángeles descienden ya,
	y poder dan a los hombres de lograr volver allá.
	A Sión venid, pues, prestos; el Señor ya volverá.
	A Sión venid, pues, prestos; el Señor ya volverá.
4.	Israel, ¿por qué demoras aún en sendas de error?
	Ved el juicio que señala el castigo del Señor.
	A Sión venid, pues, prestos, y cantad a Dios loor.
	A Sión venid, pues, prestos, y cantad a Dios loor.
