The best exercise of all!


      Exercising is great whether it's running, crunches, squats, push-ups, etc. Heavenly Father wants us to have strong bodies, but the best exercise of all is exercising our FAITH! 
PMG says
"Faith in Christ leads to action. It leads to sincere and lasting repentance. Having faith causes us to try as hard as we can to learn about and become more like our Savior. We want to learn what His commandments are and then obey them. Even though we will still make mistakes, we show our love for Him by striving to keep His commandments and avoid sin."
I think Heavenly Father gives us struggles, so that we can exercise faith in him. I've seen that a lot on my mission as I've gone through hard times. I see it a lot in the people that we teach.
       We have an Investigator Senovio! He has changed so much because of his Faith! He has noticed it in himself too. He loves coming to the Mormon Battalion Historic site and watching the movies. He came this week to see the Testaments movie. He loved it and got teary eyed. He is very close to accepting a date to be baptized and although he has a couple of doubts he knows if he is baptized it will be good. We had a lesson with him on Saturday, with a member Hno. Escobedo. After the lesson we went to see a baptism. As the man was being baptized Senovio asked if he could be baptized right then. He did say it in a joking way but I think he does have the intentions of being baptized. Now he has to exercise his faith and take that step. 
      Also, our investigator Jose, has accepted a date to be baptized on February 7th and his son, Angel who was baptized in October passed out the Sacrament for the first time!
