Week 1

I'm going to caveat this whole email by saying I'm outside on the street voice to texting this because the Wi-Fi is out in my house. Week one of Home MTC and week two of Mexico MTC have been amazing and eye-opening! Home MTC was rough with 7 to 9 hours of Zoom a day I'll just leave it at that. Because I'm not typing I'm going to keep this short. Week two of Mexico MTC or CCM has been spiritually strengthening and super fun at the same time. The old school nickname stuck of "Fraz" but has evolved to "Freaky Friday Fraz" which is an interesting one to say the least. The views and weather here are wonderful, almlst better than newport ( nobody jump me for that comment). On Thursday we promptly made a teacher give us an hour and a half lecture on being respectful and not talking in class. On Friday we had red hairy chicken (it's exactly what it sounds like). On Saturday we became pickleball senses. On Sunday I felt the most fear I've ever felt through a TV. On Monday I went through a whole pack of gum. And Tuesday the power was out the whole day. I'd lobe to hear from anyone who wants to send an email. Its james.frazier@missionary.org. 

Here's the spiritual thought for today. On Sunday during our devotional we heard a recorded talk of Elder Holland. The thing that stuck out to me most was his analogy saying "who would you rather have work on your mother's heart Elder Nielson or Elder Anderson. Most of you would say Elder Nielson because he's worked on tens of thousands of hearts, And your investigators deserve to put there spiritual lives in the hands of someone who has handled tens of thousands of lessons. So that is what I'm going to strive to do these next couple of weeks is to study my heart out and be worthy of investigators. 

Love you all!
Elder Frazier

Longest week of my life

Now, I don't want you all to get the title wrong. This week was also one of the best weeks of my life, but I did so much, worked like 12 hours a day  6:30-10:30  exactly every day. So it was like I would end a day and be so surprised I'd gotten that much done in 24 hours (but to be fair I also wake up every morning like I've been hit by a bus). But first, SPIRITUAL THOUGHT!!! Something my AMAZING HEAVEN-SENT mission President said " I’m so grateful for you. You are learning that when we do the right thing, even when we are tired or don’t feel like it, the Lord consecrates our efforts and gives us energy and strength. The oath and covenant of the priesthood in section 84, verses 33 through 44, teaches us that our bodies will be renewed by the Spirit as we magnify our callings. Keep up the great work!" HOW COOL IS THAT!! ESPECIALLY FOR YOU ELDERS OUT THERE! The verses say " For whoso is faithful unto the obtaining these two priesthoods of which I have spoken, a...

This week we saw 4 baptisms here in Delta del Tigre!!!! 🐯 It frickin amazing the ways in which the Lord blesses us when we choose to be humble and obedient, and thats what I want to talk about today in my... SPIRITUAL THOUGHT!! Jeffrey R. Holland died this week and he was my favorite apostle because he always cut to the chase and was an amazing teacher. And left me feeling humbled. That's so important, because when we understand how much we have to go and how imperfect we are at getting there we are more open to the help of the Lord and he is ALWAYS, i repeat, ALWAYS there to help us. So we can fulfill the measure of our existence and our purpose here on earth if we just LISTEN AND REPENT. If we change. If we grow. If we give in to the enticings of the Spirit. We will make it, but only thank to him. 19 And now, my beloved brethren, after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path, I would ask if all is done? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it w...
