Short and hopefully Sweet

Hey everyone, we had a powerful Zone Conference! We had a great District Conference( equivelant of Stake Conference)! My prayers are currently being answered. I also know many of your prayers are being answered too. Also the prayers for me because what ever you all may have prayed for for me has come true. I hope that makes sense and wish I could explain better.
This week the Search for Happiness has been on my mind and even the topic around me. Everyone is looking for happiness all around the world at this moment in their lives. Many do not find it. Sad but true. Why? This is what I´ve set my mind upon to find out why. Here are the truths I know, God loves us and wants us to be happy. He blesses us so we are happy. We are given commandments to make us Happy. Then why are so many not happy? Then I realized what some of you may already know . . . it is because many are looking in the wrong places. The difference in pleasure and happiness is great but can be hard to see at times. Things of the world bring pleasure but things of God bring happiness. This is one of the reasons why I am here because many people know not where to find God. Here is there.
A member that isn´t in our area wanted us to visit one of her friends and her friend´s family. They are from Bolivia and a wonderful family. Iluminada and her husband Raul. Then their kids too we had the chance to meet. They fed us unexpectedly and I wish I could remember how to spell what is was. But it looked exactly like MENUDO! ha ha. it was different in taste and good. Then we also had yuccu, I don´t know if that is how you spell it but basically they eat it in place of bread. Their hospitality was more than we deserved and I hope to continue to teach them about the way God wants us all to worship besides our own personaly form or worshiping.
Love Elder Rodriguez.
