We have talked before of the responsibility of sharing the gospel that comes automatically when weaccept membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It says in D & C 88:81, "Behold, Isent you out to testify and warn the people, and it becometh every man who hath been warned towarn his neighbor." This scripture makes it abundantly clear that since we have been warned it is nowour responsibility to warn others--for the rest of our lives. Mosiah reinforces this clear gospel responsibilitywhen it says, "...and to stand as witnesses of God at all TIMES and in all THINGS, and in all PLACES that yemay be in, even until DEATH...." I have reflected often on exactly what this last scripture means for allof us. What does it mean to always be a witness, even until death. Well for starters I think we canassume that this is something from which we are never released. Secondly, I interpret this as saying thatthere is never a time when we should stop being missionaries--never. Thirdly, that we should bewitnesses in all "things" suggests that no matter what activity we are involved with we should be able todiscuss the gospel whether it is in our work, on transfers, during Preparation Day, during Church, duringrides on the Metro, during walks to our areas, shopping in the grocery store, ordering lunch at BurgerKing, etc. etc.

Being a witness in all places means there is no place on the earth where there are spirit children ofGod where we should stop being witnesses. In what way should we be witnesses? Without question weneed to model the principles of the gospel in our behavior and the way we treat others. Disciples ofChrist are kind, thoughtful, helpful, forgiving, responsible, mature, and dignified. People are watchingus all of the time. It is crucial they see in us something different, something special--not that we aresuperior to any other person--but we should live our lives on a higher plane because we have been

shown a "more excellent way." We should be bold in proclaiming our beliefs and testify that we know its true to everyone who will listen to us. We should be knowledgeable about the scriptures and theprinciples of the gospel and share that knowledge with others. We should be consistent in the way weive our lives. We should never be seen as hypocrites, shallow or petty. While this is especially true whilewe are specially commissioned emissaries of the Master in El Faro, it should hold true for the rest of ourives. Truly, we need to be like the Apostle Paul in saying, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth." May we strive to always be thebest witnesses we can of this priceless message of salvation is my prayer.

Como testigo de Cristo,

Initiative

Message From Hermana Dayton


Initiative is recognizing and doing what needs to be done before beingsked to do it. Initiative is required to carry out every other character quality we have

udied including gratefulness, forgiveness, punctuality, diligence, joyfulness, etc. On thewall in our computer room we have a quote that reads, "Happiness is doing what needso be done, when it needs to be done, whether you like it or not." Jessie Evans Smith.

When we take the initiative and do what needs to be done, we do find happiness.Initiative is activated by our thoughts and words. We learn in the scriptures

hat we have the power to do good or evil and that we cannot serve two masters. Justs the world was created by thoughts and words then actions, we too create our livesy thoughts, words and actions. There are many ways we can take initiative. The

criptures tell us to "pray without ceasing, " to "lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven,"

o "do good to all men" and to "go ye into all the world preaching the Gospel."As missionaries, there are many ways we can demonstrate the characteruality of initiative by:Rising each day at 7:30, exercising vigorously, eating a well balanced breakfast, and

ollowing the missionary schedule.Studying the scriptures and following the words of the prophets.Asking forgiveness if we do something that offends our companion, investigator, a

ward member, etc.Sharing the gospel with all in the streets...trying to talk with every person we meet.Keeping our piso clean by doing items on the cleaning chart and going the extra miley doing more than our companionLooking for ways to serve others



Message From Hermana Dayton


Last week we had Transfers and there were many things that needed to beone in the mission home for the luncheon. President and I were so impressed by the

many missionaries who started setting the tables, getting water in glasses, and working inhe kitchen. Following the meeting many stayed and helped clean, taking down tablesnd chairs. At our Family Home Evenings, you missionaries offer to help serve

efreshments and clean up...without being asked. You see what needs to be done andhen you do it. We feel grateful for your examples of taking initiative in finding worthyonverts, serving those in your areas, and effectively teaching.

We love you and pray daily for you and for your investigators. We feelrateful for your goodness and all you do to bring the gospel to the people in Spain.

Much love, gratitude and admiration--

ermana Dayton

The Miracle of Baptism


BAUTISSSSMO President!!!After we had our zone

enfoque, we prepared forAngels baptism! How fitting oa name cause he truly is anAngel! It was a beautifulbaptismal service. The joys ofseeing one of Gods childrenenter into a covenant withHevenly Father through thewaters of baptism never getsold! Through baptism, its howthe gates of heaven and

eternity are opened. And tohave helped Angel preparefor this day was a privilegeand honor. I truly find JOY inthe work.

We were greatly blessed wittwo baptisms-- a Colombianmother and her son. The waywe met this family isremarkable. We were simply

walking on the street, when aboy shouted, "elderes!"-- wesimply went over and startedtalking. Gloria (the mother),had recently moved here fromAlbacete, España, and has hamuch contact with themissionaries. In fact, two of hersons were baptizedthere(although now menosactivos)! Anyways, it was an

incredibly sweet experience inthe whole teaching process,and one I will never forget.Gloria and her son will surely bestrong members and help buildthe church.

Wilber se bautizó!! Lo mejor que podía pasar antes de irmeeste hombre ha cambiado suvida de una manera

increíble. Un nuevo hijo de Dioque ha encontrado el caminode regreso a casa.! Y ahora aseguir hasta el fin.
