A Christmas Wish

As a month of thankfulness is coming to end a lot of people are starting to think what they would want for Christmas. They are willing to go through tons of people to buy the little things they think is so important. As soon as the month is over, it becomes a battle of needs that stories know that they will get money from and make a profit. I challenge that during this month you will learn the most important thing about this season, it is not a season of getting it is a season of giving. Go out and give service to those who need it. Give love to those who need it, make them feel that there is still good in this world. Give with real intent, and made someday this world we live in will wake up and realize what it is missing, but until then we must be there helping. Only then it will happen. For this holiday season we are sharing a message called the gift and if you would like to watch it, go to lds.org and you should be able to watch uit from there.

Do you have any challenges for Elder Hernandez? Questions? Leave them in the comments!

It was Thanksgiving..so my sister was lazy

One week late! But here you are! :)

So I have learned that during my mission one of the best things you can do is write a weekly email to people you love and care about. I have been out about 15 weeks and decide that I have wasted time not doing this and will continue to do this until the end. It will not always be about spiritually things, but things I feel prompted to write about. So since this week will be Thanksgiving, what better why then to talk about being thankful. I would like to say that telling your friends and family the things you have been thankful will help you become cosler. I'm thankful for the people who have encourage me to go on my mission, and has been there for me during hard moments of my life. I know that because of families that it will help you to learn how to treat others. I know I haven't been the best example, but that is what life is for. To go threw challenges and learn how to become better, and once when you do help others. There is no better feeling in life then to help others. I encourage you to tell the people you love that you are grateful for them during this holiday season and to let them know that you love them. Keep that in mind during the rest of your life. From experience, you will never know what you had until it is gone. I should have been a better person, a better friend, and a better owner. Don't make the mistakes I have, be better. I love and miss all of you, and will write to you next week. TTFN, ta ta for now.
