Perfectamente In-Perfecto

This week, oh man, what a week. I always remember hearing everyone say on the mission the days will feel like weeks but the weeks will go by like a few days - how true of a statement.

I can't believe week 4 is starting today. I still feel like there is so much I need to be doing here in my area, for the 16 sisters in our zone, and for my own companionship (Hickmans the best), and even for myself. This week I truly realized how much the atonement can help me be a refined, energized, and truly happy person. I have thought a bit about what this week in the mission was like with two intercambios, trying to teach as many lessons as possible, trying to maintain everyone else's area successful as well as our own, and baptizing. The most rough point of the week was on Sunday, when no investigators came to church (i had never experienced this feeling during my mission). I sat there, and just pondered, what else could I have done? As I sat in sacrament meeting and began looking around at everyone I saw three people that stood out to me, Ramiro, Jose, and Anna Karen, three of my converts here in Teran. I then realized and reflected on the quote by Elder Holland on salvation and remembered if I did all that I could do, and the Lord knows I did, then my efforts were enough. No amount of effort goes in vain. 

The Lord truly is merciful. He cares about and loves the people here so much. He cares about and loves me. This was going to be Hectors 5th Sunday attendance and his baptism was programmed for this Saturday,but if he didnt come to church it would have had to have been pushed back a week which would be hard with General conference being next week. On special circumstances like these we are able to ask the mission president for special permission, and we were granted it. Hector will be baptized on Saturday by Jose, one recent convert to another.

I learned in this situation that sometimes we mistakenly believe that happiness is the absence of a load. But bearing a load is a necessary and essential part of the plan of happiness. Because our individual load needs to generate spiritual traction, allowing us to grow. "The good works that really matter require the help of heaven, And the help of heaven requires working past the point of fatigue so far that only the meek and lowly will keep going long enough." I don't think anyone but Hna. Hickman and I can express this weeks efforts, but I do know that there were and will continue to be times during the week and for the rest of my earthly life when I won't know if I can put another foot in front of another, or handling another trial, or rejection, but I have come to learn that when we push past these points of fatigue, or heartache, that is when miracles happen, and when "His arm is revealed" (DyC 123:17).

"I am convinced that missionary work is not easy because salvation is not a cheap experience.  Salvation never was easy.  We are The Church of Jesus Christ, this is the truth, and He is our Great Eternal Head.  How could we believe it would be easy for us when it was never, ever easy for Him?  It seems to me that missionaries and mission leaders have to spend at least a few moments in Gethsemane. Missionaries and mission leaders have to take at least a step or two toward the summit of Calvary. Now, please don’t misunderstand.  I’m not talking about anything anywhere near what Christ experienced.  That would be presumptuous and sacrilegious.  But I believe that missionaries and investigators, to come to the truth, to come to salvation, to know something of this price that has been paid, will have to pay a token of that same price. For that reason I don’t believe missionary work has ever been easy, nor that conversion is, nor that retention is, nor that continued faithfulness is. I believe it is supposed to require some effort, something from the depths of our soul." - Elder Holland

During my mission and for the rest of my life I have to be willing to show the Lord he can trust me, by traveling the road few have traveled, for few are willing to just keep going. It will be tough, but This is the Lord's work so it is worth every ounce of lost sleep or effort! 

Let us gladly carry those loads that are given to us, for through them we come to know ourselves and better yet; we come to know HIM, and become like HIM. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10)

It will all be worth it.

Love you all A LOT,

Hermanita Coronado

The Definiton of a Capacitadora (in the words of Hna. Hickman and I):

- our excuse to travel

- see my companion twice a week

- try to fix everyone elses problems

- all we want to do is come home and sleep

- run out of saldo (unfunctional phone)

- cold showers :)

- we now exercise even more... it hurts to laugh

- laugh like crazy

- living purely on the atonement

 Painting with the Zone leaders, we have fun

 Want to have intercambios with me?!

 I made a calendar with a wee bit of the things we have to do every week...

 This weeks service project: paiting a pink wall white

Sea un Nefi, o un Lehi.

Talk about the longest spiritually, emotionally, and physically draining week. This week was full of SOOO many ups and downs. The week went from Monday having a talk/ heart to heart talk with Hectors anti-mormon mom, to fasting for Hector on Tuesday with Karla (his best friend), to having our Zone Conference on Wednesday (with the assitants). The best activite we did was have everyone write down on a small peice of paper their largest disobedience and then we had them one by one walk outside and we had a little fire going and they all threw their piece of paper in the fire (representing their new covenant with the Lord that they are now even more willing to obey him.) Intercambios with Suchiapa (the hardest hnas in our zone), to intercambios with Central on Friday, receiving a random message Friday afternoon asking us to go to the Chapultepec stake center (not telling us why), showing up there at 6pm (mid intercambio), and being told we were going to take 2 mini-missionaries home with us (they were 15 and 17 yrs old), to the best temple lessons with Hector Saturday morning and having our Stake Conference Saturday and Sunday.

This week truly was incredible. Some of the best experiences began on Monday, talking with Hectors mom. She saw us teaching her son, and once the lesson had ended invited us into her home only to scold us on how they were a catholic family, and we were the mormons. I prayed in my heart the entire lesson, to have her heart softened... it didnt work. But I was able to ask hector a question, I looked at him and said: "Hector, what do you want to be?", he replied (with tears in his eyes), "Mom, I want to be a Mormon." I bore my testimony, Hna. Hickman bore her testimony, and Jose (a recent convert) bore his testimony. As we left Hectors home I was crying, he was crying, and we told him now He would have to choose. the Lord or his parents. The next day as we began to fast for him I truly had NO idea how to help him, but our Heavenly Father IS a Father of miracles. Wedneday evening we received a text message from Hector saying, in the end it all worked out. He told us later in the week when we met with him that he talked to his parents, and told them he wanted to get baptized. He did his part, and so did the Lord. How grateful I am for his example.

On Saturday morning we taught a lesson to Hector inside the temple and asked him to share his feelings with us. He simply said, "I feel so much peace, and each day I know more and more that this is all true." On Sunday he showed us his family tree and his uncle has roughly 8 generations worth of names on his grandfathers side. I can't even explain how cool it was, We told him you have so much work to do in the temple (starting in a few weeks). He is such a good 18yr old Kid, he simply smiles, and says yes.

How thankful I am to be able to find Hectors in my mission. Everytime I meet a golden person all I think is: He is so special, a chosen one, un escogido. 

Apart from Hector we have begun to find more families to teach, such as Jorge and his family (golden street contacts). Isabel, the old lady who can get baptized any week, she just has to be aware of how important of a covenant this is, and Raul, he too is golden, and is changing his old habits to be baptized the 28th of March,

Family, I LOVE THIS WORK (OBRA), SO MUCH.

At our Stake Conference Elder Torris came to speak with us and shared so many great insights with us, such as "In order for someone to remain in the church they need daily contact with the church, but NOTdaily contact with the missionaries." He placed a huge emphasis on how important our actions are, and our ability to daily contact the Lord. He invited us to Share our Testmonies with the Lord! We don't need special equipment to communicate with the Lord, we simply have to fold our knees and go to our sacred grove. 

This is my invitation to y'all today - Go To Your Sacred Grove and Share Your Testimony With He Who Has Given Us Everything.

I love my Father in Heaven, I love my Savior Jesus Christ. I know they are two personages who are real, and I feel their love daily.

Les Amo UN BUEN y oro por su felicidad mucho,

Te Encontrare Mi Querido Amigo

Hola mi querida familia. Y amigos.

Esta semana ha sido llenisimo de muchos milagros, unos pequeños, unos grandes, pero todos increíbles.

I seriously believe that the Lord gives me even better and better companions each transfer. Hermana Hickman has 14mths on the mission but is still on fire and wants to work hard. I am super excited to get a few transfers to work with her (or so I hope). 

The new and awesome updates from teran are that we found a GOLDEN investigator. His name is Hector and he is seriously another Jose. He prays every lesson to get to his baptismal date the 28th of March, loves coming to church. I know he too will be a future missionary. In Gospel principles when our mission leader asked him if he had a baptismal date he replied he did without any hesitation. Whooo. He is great. I believe in member referrals. On Sunday Jose came out to visit with us. We taught him how to contact, he has no fear, he just does it. I keep thinking, wait until he is a real missionary (in the U.S.) He is one of the strongest JAS we have and he's only been a member for a month.

Anna Karen is one of those people I know and feel in my soul I promised to find. When Hna. Hickman asked her what things she likes to do, she replied, "Go out visiting people with the sister missionaries." And when she was asked if she wants to be a missionary she enthusiastically replied, "Yes!" 

Isabel is an older lady, like 70ish years old who has been coming to church every Sunday without fail for a few months, and just moved houses and into our ward in Teran, yet feels uneasy about accepting a baptismal date. Please pray for her to understand the importance of baptism. I have hope, and faith that if we serve her more, her heart will soften and we will be able to help her follow Christ, the way He wants her too. She had been catholic for 40yrs, and just now became a "dry member". We taught her how to pray, and she tries really really hard to do it without talking to Christ and the Holy Ghost, but I can't even imagine what it must be like to change everything you believe in, everything you are. I think being a convert is amazing, and truly admirable. Expect good news from her, soon. :)

Raul is learning, and truly trying to overcome his addictions. I know this gospel can change his natural man, and so does he. He is working towards his baptism, this week. The hard thing with him, is finding the right time to teach him. His dad has cancer and there are Always people swarming his house. Raul's brother Arturo is a convert of a little over a year.

We invited a random street contact to church on Wednesday, and than ran into him again on Saturday, and re-invited him, and in sacrament meeting a young man walks in, Hna. Hickman and I were blown away, that usually NEVER happens. So yeah, lets just say it is way important to contact on the street.

I a learning the true difference between a chosen one and someone I want to be a chosen one. It is amazing to me how keep the spirit is. I love it, and hope to never loose it. As I was sitting in Sacrament meeting on Sunday I sat there looking around at everyone and couldn't help but smile. I love these people so much. Just a few months with them, but they have won my heart, the converts, the members, the progressing investigators. This TRULY is the Life.

I found a scripture that I love today in my personal study. It is John 15:10 "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love." 

Live worthy to abide in His love. Believe in Miracles.

Intercambios start this week, on Wedneday, I am mentally preparing for another quick transfer, eight intercambios makes this time fly, toooo quickly.

I love you all - UN BUEN,

Hermana Coronado

A la manera del Señor

Be the Best of the Best of the Best.

This weeks phenomenal news begins with MEETING Elder Oaks. He truly is an apostle of the Lord. We took a mission photo with him, it was crazy having all 230+ of us together (my first time in the mission seeing everyone). After the photo he wanted to shake every missionaries hand, so we lined up and spoke briefly to him. Along with him was Elder Walker (of the seventy), and pdte/hna. George. When my turn came to greet him, he simply cupped my hand and said: "It is good to see you Hermana Coronado", as if we had met before. 

As the conference commenced about 40 of us missionaries elderes y hermanas were able to sing the hymn: Acompañame to him, with Hna. Cook (beautiful violinist), and Hna. George on the piano. It sounded lovely and as we sang Elder Oaks sat right in front of me.... 

What I loved is that with each speaker I was able to feel their conviction, their conversion and love for our Savior, Jesus Christ. Elder Walked told us something that I loved. It simply isn't enough to be in missionary work, we must convert ourselves to working for the Lord. He placed a lot of emphasis on Using Preach my Gospel in Every aspect of our lives. When Elder Oaks stood, since he doesn't speak spanish he had a translator, but he told us that he never prepares talks when he visits missionaries, he lets the spirit be his guide. Every word that came from his mouth was powerful. I could feel the love Pdte. George has for all of us as his missionaries, I could feel the power of Elder Walker, but it was so much more powerful hearing an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ speak to us. He was just so close, I felt His sincerity and love for us as well. The Spirit truly is in His Countenance.

Some of the things he shared with us that I absolutely LOVED were: We dont teach people the American culture, or the mexican culture, we teach people the Gospel culture. And our invitation to everyone is to be a part of the gospel culture. Our families will allow us to come back together to the presence of our Father, to a celestial glory and exaltation. The BEST advice I received from his whole capacitacion was that we have to Concentrate on teaching people the NEXT ordinance after baptism: THE Sacrament. "This is an ordinance of the gospel we are commanded to participate in every week, not every christmas, or every saints day, Every Sunday. It is Not optional." How much I loved this. I know that if people understand this principle they will understand why it is that we Need to go to church every sunday. 

"The gospel is a gospel of commitment." - Elder Oaks 

To testify is to know and to say. To be converted is to do and become. This weekend I have learned to struggle in order to grow. Hna. Juliana and I tried SO hard to find someone to baptize this week. We literally went to every resource, I felt soooo many emotions within the matter of 48hours. But I know that No effort goes in vain. This next transfer has been set up perfectly to baptize, a lot, and to retain every one of these people.

TRANSFERS; I will be staying in Teran and Hna. Juliana is leaving to Bonampak (like 5 minutes away). Our 3mths together have been great. I am kind of trending, my whole mission, 2 transfers every companion. My new companion is Hna. Hickman the one with the famous tuxtla gutierrez mexico blog, but seriously I am basically every missionary have seen her blog before our mission. She has been about about 14 o 15 meses. She has a lot of fire, and I am really excited to work with her.

Struggle → Grow → Receive blessings → Bask in the blessings (honeymoon period) → Great opposition → (Lessening of the Spirit) → Remain Faithful → Climb to new spiritual heights → Start all over again.... It is the way of growth. -John Pontius (Journey to the veil)

Suggestion, read the book mentioned above. It has changed my mission. 

Have a spirit filled, gospel sharing week. This gospel IS True.

Mi querida familia y amigos,

Les amo muuuuchhhhoooo

Hermana Coronado

Mis favorita MJ's: Frida y Anna Karen. Oh how I wish you could all meet Anna. If she was the ONLY person I saw get baptized my whole mission, it would have been enough. She is incredible. Luckily the Lord continues to allow me to see more and more miracles. 

Aaron's curls are too cute, on Sunday we sang I am a child of God, and every time the words "Soy" o "Dios" were in the hymn we'd hear a little belt from 2yr old Aaron. 

I AM BACK

This past week was one of the MOST fun weeks I have had here. It was our 6mth mission activity (every feb. and aug.), there is an activity for every zone in the mission, depending on what area you are in depends on what activity you get to go to. I was able to go to two of the activities, to the zoo here in Tuxtla, and my FAVORITE to Tonina with all the tzotzils/san cristobal/comitan zones, Tonina are ruins here in Mexico, they are beautiful, and it is about 2300ft high. At the very tip top of Tonina there is about a 3 by 3 ft rock, and when you stand on it, the view is amazing, quite breath-taking actually. It made me really miss hiking in Utah, but also appreciate these tender yet beautiful moments in life, such peace, such beauty. I loved it so much. We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful world. Our Father loves us so much he has created such a perfect plan of happiness for us, with moments of such joy, for me, these are the tender moments I live for. 

Being the "presidents secretary" as he likes to call me was really fun. He taught me a lot. But it is great to be back in action. I am finally a full, functioning (slightly in pain), fully renewed missionary. Saturday afternoon Hna. Juliana came to the mission home to pick me up, and on Sunday while in church Jose blessed the sacrament like a pro. It was beautiful. He is doing wonderfully and preparing to go to the temple this coming week. Being a missionary truly is one of the most fulfilling callings this life has to offer. I know this time flies, very quickly and I need to work hard until the end... 

Wow, it's crazy how many of my katy friends are getting engaged and all that jazz. After being with Hna. George she opened up my eyes, a lot, to what a family will be like, and all I can think is: I am SUPER happy to be here in Mexico. I know this is where I am needed a this moment in my life, and that this time is preparing me to be a much better wife/mother in the future. But that I also need to take these next months to grow, and be the best person I can be, and continue to become the person Christ needs me to be so that one day, He can trust me with such great responsibilities.

Right now I LOVE feeling the satisfaction when I meet someone and just feeling that connection of: "I totally knew you before. I can feel it. I am going to help you." Since this is the last week of the transfer I am feeling more motivated than ever before to work hard and give it all I can. I have grown to love Teran so much. On Sunday I felt beyong loved, these beautiful members were so genuinely happy in welcoming me nack here, they even gave me ice cream and made me chocolate muffins. Hna. Juliana and I are "predicting"/ feeling that this transfer that come we won't be together, and that there will be transfers for hna Jules, which makes me sad to think about but also hopeful for the future. Whatever happens I like to think of and always act on my new favorite quote: "I desire to do the Will of the Lord, nothing more, nothing less, nothing else."

Expect miracles to come this week, I can't wait to go out and tell y'all about them next week. Until then, I love y'all so much. Se que esta obra es verdadera. Yo se que Jesucristo vive. Vive fiel para recibir Sus bendiciones.

I TOTALLY almost forgot: Elder Oaks is coming this Saturday and we get to ask Him questions, any question we want, too cool!!!! ANNNIIIMMMMOOOO.

Les amo, UN BUEN,

Hermana Coronado

Sweet Relief and Infinite Gratitude

This week has been a blast. I went to parque Central with my dear friend Hna. Westbrook, and to Chiapa de Corzo earlier today with a ton of hermanas and with Sister George. There are just so many hand-made neat things here. One of my favorite little treasures is a hymn case with little Mexican women dolls sown onto it. I truly love hymns. I miss singing to strangers in the street like no other. I also just found out I am going to be in the missionary choir for Elder Oaks, he is coming here to Chiapas, to Tuxtla next Friday, we are all buzzing with excitement. I cant wait to see him, and ask him questions. I am giving the closing prayer in our meeting and am quite excited. :) 

I love this work, tooo much. This week has given me time to reflect more on why this is happening and I have come to the conclusion that because of my Savior, Jesus Christ I will not have to suffer this for much longer. He loves me enough to provide me with happiness and relief, how I love him. This gives me such a sweet relief, and a sense of eternal gratitude. 

My knee is almost 100%. I am now able to walk (with my crutches), but I can walk and feel very little to no pain. Which is awesome. People: Appreciate your blessings, no matter how simple and insignificant they seem. Since I am usually in the mission home or out with Hna. George I dont get to do much contacting but the other night the mail man came to the door and I half taught a lesson with Hna. Westbrook, it felt very nice. 

During this week I have had the chance to run into several different hermanas, all of which are struggling with different things here on their mission and I always council  them to Forget Themselves and Go To Work. My mind this week had repeatedly turned to Matthew 10:39 "He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that looseth his life for my sake shall find it." I have found this to be sooo true here in the mission field. The more I think of others, the more my soul is filled with joy, and the times I do find myself thinking of "Hermana Coronado", I am never happy, funny how that works out. I know that time here is cut tooo short. 

My amount of patience has (hopefully, I would like to think) expanded widely in these past months. A quote a friend once shared with me has stuck with me for, forever. It says: “Patience is tied very closely to faith in our Heavenly Father. Actually, when we are unduly impatient, we are suggesting that we know what is best—better than does God. Or, at least, we are asserting that our timetable is better than His. We can grow in faith only if we are willing to wait patiently for God's purposes and patterns to unfold in our lives, on His timetable.” -Neal A. Maxwell

How true this. This week I am going to try to be more patient, to accept and eventually, in due time, understand the Lord's will. This is my invitation to y'all too... Open your ears so that you may hear, open your eyes so that you may see, and open your hearts so that you may be able to feel the promptings from the heavens. 

Lots of Love and Prayers from Chiapas,

Hermana Coronado

Hermana George enjoyed removing my stitches (Hna. George and Pdte. George are literally like my parents here in Mexico, they take Very good care of me)

Tal como un fuego se ve ya ardiendo...♫

Since you all know me, you should know, I love helping others feel happy and not really having people help me too much so at times is can be a challenge to actually accept that in this time in my life: I need a bit of help. I have been using crutches every day since my operation and sometimes it is a little challenge. I have learned to appreciate being able to do "the little things" in life, like getting up, walking down the stairs and drinking a glass of water, carrying my own plate of food to the table, and even standing up. I always feel quite exhausted just going up and down the stair cases, crutching through the church building, my forearms, and biceps are much stronger than they were before. I made it past the "i'm sore stage" which means Im gaing muscle, i think... haha. 

Luckily I will get to begin my physical therapy and start putting pressure on my right knee on Thursday. I am so excited. I always feel a bit goofy with my crutches. My recovery is going very well, which gives me a lot of comfort. I know the Lord has truly been with me through this whole process.

I spend my days here trying to focus on what the Lord wants me to learn through this phase in my life, and in my mission. On Tuesday we had our Super Consejo de Liderazgo (all the zone leaders/district leaders/capacitadoras) it was super funny because I am suppose to have my leg elevated for the first week post surgery to decrease inflamation, so I took 2 pillows and used an extra chair and had my knee elevated throughout all of consejo, it looked hilarious. The best was that I was given 20min to lead on La Ensenanza Eficaz ahhh, it was wonderful. Me encanta sentirme útil. After consejo we went to the temple and I felt such a sense of peace. 

This week has been quite an adventure. Until I am fully recovered I will be here in the mission home, Hermana George has become my new companion. She is seriously super funny. Her bluntness (idk if thats a word) is too grand. I thought I would have a lot of time to be studying in depth the gospel, and memorizing scriptures, etc. Which i have been doing, but wherever Pdte. George goes, Hna. George goes, and I go too. Like on Friday we went to San Cristobal, it truly is just as beautiful as everyone says it is, and it is Cold! I felt like I was in provo again. They took out 5 sister missionaries to eat at a chinese restaurant that was delicious.

Saturday was incredible. We spent the entire evening attending baptisms: The first were with the elders from Lomas and they had a family of 4, they looked so happy and the spirit was ever so present. The second were Hna. Juliana and I here in Mactumatza, 19yr. old Jose and 12yr. old Anna, they were radiant, even being around them you could feel just how happy they were. I love Anna so dearly, i don't know why but I see myself in her. She is a ray of happiness. During their baptism they both bore their testimonies and that was the best because Jose talked about how he would one day serve a mission and Anna shared her feelings of purity when she was immersed into the water. It was also cool because the room was filled with investigators, and part member families. Pdte. George gave the most sweet closing prayer. The third baptism was a 25+ yr old man, he is the pioneer for his family, the highlight of this baptism was the special musical number by the secretarios and the ap's.

The spirit is so incredible. I feel so lucky to be a small part of Such a Marvelous Work and  a Wonder.

On Sunday we went to church in Chahuites, Oaxaca and it is a whole other world down there. I tried to capture it with photos but a camera doesn't do it justice. I wonder if one day I will be serving here. The people are so humble, so beautiful.

Pdte. George is awesome at keeping me busy at work, he calls me his "secretary" because I translate quotes and stories that he wants to share with the mission, and help him learn how to use his iphone, it's pretty fun. Presidente George and Hermana George truly are some of the most incredible people I know!

Animo mi querida familia. Gracias por sus cartas, me fortalecen mucho y me hacen tener el deseo de ser mejor. Sigan esforzándose por preguntarse: ¿Que es lo que el Señor quiere que yo haga?! y HAZLO. 

Les Amo MUCHO,

Hermana Coronado

Only in Oaxaca. I love this place. 

 Hna. George found lemons on the tree in the back of the casa de oracion in Chahuites and we helped her get them drown from the trees, daily trip to Oaxaca and we came back with a real coconut, lemmos, and MANGOS. There are a bajilion mangos in Oaxaca, literally EVERYWHERE.

 Hna. Grover is one of my favorite Hermanas, I love her dearly!
