THE BEST TWO YEARS!!!!!!

Hey everyone!!!!!

Thanks for all the letters!! I love them and the pictures were the best!! 

This week was a great week and the mission is great!! Like i have said 10000000000 times. These two years are really the best two years!! THE BEST!!! They are the best two years OF my life and FOR my life!! There is a big difference there!! But these past couple weeks i have truly enjoyed the mission!!! All the things that we have been doing and just working in the work!! Spending time with the family of Ana and Feliz and with all the missionaries!! We do the best P'days because we got the best zone in the mission!! But like 8 of us are leaving the zone so its gonna be a huge change!! I have learned to love the small things that one experiences in the mission!! From the CRAZY Dominican contacts (knocking doors) to the great powerful lessons!! Also meeting so many people!! Thats by far the hardest thing to admit will change!! ALL the people that i have met, all the members and Dominican people to all the missionaries that i have met and have become my blood brothers!!! TIME JUST FLIES WHEN YOUR HAVING FUN!!!! I have seriously learned alot in my mission and am so very very grateful for the time that i have served and if i could i would walk right back into the MTC and start it all over again, fresh!! If i could chose any mission in the world i would not think twice or even once about changing from the Santo Domingo WEST MISSION DR!!!!!!! The best mission in the whole world!!! It really changes your life, the mission!! It prepares you for so many things!! This i know!!! The best thing that a young man can do is SERVE A 2 YEAR MISSION for the Lord!!! It is hard, painful and full of so many trials, ups and downs but the PAIN is worth the reward!! The Lord blesses those that press forward in his work!! You dont have to be a scripture master or know all the doctrine of the church to be a great missionary!! You just need the desire to work, then the Lord will bless you with the spirit and Miracles will take place!! Boys become MEN of the Most High God!!! ´´We are as the army of Helaman, we have been called in our youth, and we will be the Lord´s missionaries to bring the world His truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!´´ This is our calling the Lord requires it of US!!!! HOW GREAT IS OUR CALLING!!!! There are 2 great and marvelous works that are being brought to pass every single day, One, the Work of the Temple and TWO Preaching the Gospel and the Lord takes care of those who devote their time and effort to these 2 great and marvelous works!!!!!! The mission has changed me for the BETTER!!! I have grown to become the Man that the Lord needs me to be!! I cant think of anything better that a 19 year old boy can do in his life than a mission!!! THESE ARE THE BEST TWO YEARS!! We are called to BLESS and CHANGE the lives of our brothers and sisters, sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father. But before we know it, while we help these beloved people we are also changing and refining ourselves for the better and becoming the Disciple of Christ that our Lord and Savior needs!!! If there is a young man that is not sure about the mission, i invite him to kneel down and pray WITH ALL HIS HEART and ASK the Father if serving a mission is something that HE wants this young man to do!!!! The Father will answer IF we are willing to follow the answer that He gives us, to follow His desires and not our own we will truly be blessed!! The Father knows what He has in store for us in the future that is why we must always ASK Him for divine guidance, and He will give it to us because He will not let us walk alone!!!! He will always be there!!!!! I LOVE THE MISSION and if i could i would do it all over again!! These have truly been the BEST 2 YEARS Of and FOR my life!!! That i know with out a shadow of a doubt!!! 

Family and Friends thank you all so much for your sweet and humble prayers in my behalf and for all the people of the DR, i have felt them and i have seen the blessings from them. I know the Lord has blessed everyone of you for having me and these people always present in your sweet and humble prayers!!!! 

I love you all so much!!!

This has been an adventure of a life time that i will never forget!! Hope you all have enjoyed living a little of it with me along the way!!! 

I am eternally grateful for all of you!!! 

con mucho amor!!!

INTERVIEWS!!!

HEY EVERYONE!!!!!!!

This week was great!!! Thanks for all the letters family!!! 

Today the Zone played Softball and it was a blast. I tried out the cannon, it had been awhile. But i shook off the rust and after we got done playing i grabbed one of the softballs and asked one of the kids, that was playing with us who was like 16, if he would go get the ball if i threw it out of the park, he said ya. It was like a 300 ft fence or maybe a little less but i took the crow hop and let it fly and just looked at the kid while everyone else watched the ball leave the yard!! haha. Then he looked at me but one of his buddies was out in the outfield and went and got it for him!!! It was a fun Pday activity!! haha. 

But this week was very special!!! I have been thinking alot about many things lately, and i had a great interview with President Rodriguez this past week. I had some things that i wanted ask him and had some questions!! I walked in and we knelt down together and prayed to our Father in Heaven, then we just began to talk and i asked him a interesting question to see what he would say to me, i asked him how he looks back on his mission and what he thinks about and remembers when he looks back on it?? He just looked at me and told me that he LOVED his mission and he always tried to do his best and improve everyday!! Trying to help everyone at all times and leave a great mark on every area where he served, meaning that all the members and the people he met in those areas had nothing but good things to say about him!!! He told me alot of things and then i opened up to him and told him the things that i had been pondering about. Tears filled my eyes as i told him of my great love for these people and how i dont want to leave, how i dont want to go home, how i dont want my time to come!! He told me alot of special things and tears filled his eyes as he spoke to me from his heart as well. I just looked at him and he told me things that i will never forget, compliments and things that i really needed to hear. He told me how love never ends and how i will never forget these people and how they will never ever forget me!!! I then told him how i was thinking on my mission and if i have become the missionary that the Savior wanted me to become. I told him i was wondering if the Lord was pleased with the things that i have done here and if He was pleased with the 2 years that i have given to Him!!!  Everyone comes up short in some things and no one is ever perfect but he looked at my tear filled eyes and with tears in his he looked at me and said with a pause. “Elder Urry I KNOW that the Lord is pleased with all that you have done, this i know!! If only we had a few more missionaries like you Elder Urry!”  And when he told me that the spirit just hit me like a TON of BRICKS and yes dad it felt like 2000 lbs just went to my heart!!! It was a special interview with President one that i will never forget. We shared some tears together and we both shared personal feelings about the other!!  I have truly learned a ton from both Presidents that i have had in the mission. They are both SO different but both so amazing!! I love them both. Mom, Dad, and Steve you will have the chance to meet them both!! By the way Mom and Dad we are going to the temple on Tuesday with all the missionaries and Pres Rodriguez said that you are the special invites if you wanna go and you are the special invites to the lunch after, but that depends on what time you get here. I will be with all the other missionaries so we could just go to the temple another day.  Maybe we could do baptisms and i could baptize the 3 of you and then we could eat with Presidente and his family another day, then it’s just us with them. I think that would be better anyways!!!   

But is was a great interview. The Presidents of missions are men that are truly called of God and were prepared for this GREAT calling!! I can truly see that in Presidente Rodriguez. He is a great man!!!! 

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!

Enduring to the End is the key. But while in the path we should not only be looking ahead but realize what we are passing by and experiencing those things. It is great to keep your eye on the goal but if we forget about the NOW we will miss out on all the day to day promised blessings!!! 

I love you all!!! Pray hard for these people! Pray for the missionaries in the world. This work is the Greatest work that there is and we need all the help from on high we can get!!! 

ELDER URRY

You can write me the last week because i will be able to check my mail in the office but i dont know if i will be able to write back!!!! So you know. . . 

ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE!

Hey everyone!!!

This week was a week that i will never forget!!! We have had so many great experiences here this week but one i want to tell you about with Ana, Felix and the whole familia!!!! IT was on friday night and we were headed over to their home, we sat down in the living room i guess you call it haha and we were just talking for a bit with Ana and Felix. After a chat i stood up and went to their bookshelf and got the things that we were gonna share. They have so many books from the church. We have brought them so many things for them to read and learn about!! I think its funny. If any member of the church walked into their house they would think that they have been members for such a long time!!!  They also have a small picture of the temple on their wall now!!! Its awesome!! But i grabbed the Sept 2011 Liahona that talks all about Eternal marriage and making the relationship that husband and wife have even better in line with the gospel principles!!! I also grabbed the family Proclamation to the World. We started with a prayer and then we began to talk!! I began to read the Proclamation and was commenting on it and everything was going well. I was talking alot and so i had Diana talk a bit on what she was understanding from what we were reading and it was going alright. My companion threw some thoughts in there but something was missing. I Asked Felix if he had any questions or thoughts on what we were talking about, he didnt really say anything, he kinda shut the door, but right before he did we got our foot in there!! I looked at my comp and gave him time to talk and he began to read from the Liahona magazine on improving your marriage relationship. As he read i just still felt like something was missing and i didnt know what. Then i thought, are we teaching just us two? Did we have our most important companion with us in this moment and then it hit me. The presence of the Spirit was not too strong and we needed his help badly. As my comp kept talking i just slowly and with all my heart prayed within me so that our Father would send us the guiding light of His spirit. I poured out my heart to our Father with my “righteous desire” and He gave it to me!! As i was praying my comp stopped reading and talked for a quick second then decided to have Ana read a bit from the article. THIS WAS THE ANSWER TO PRAYER!! Ana began to read on different ways to better your marriage and relationship. As she read the article and the list of things that one should and shouldnt do she began to choke up and began to cry. In that moment as i looked in her eyes i knew that the spirit touched her heart. The spirit flowed in like a rushing river, with power!! I know that what she read she realized that there were things she wasnt doing that she should and things that she does that she shouldnt!! She couldnt even finish reading the part that Elder Toribio gave to her to read!! Right then we jumped in head first!!! My comp tied it up there for a second and then i pulled out my quick shooter!!! The Book of Mormon!! I turned to 3 Nefi 27:20 and read the words of the Savior describing what He wants us all to do.  Then i applied it to our purpose as missionaries and what we are here to do!! The Spirit hit me SO HARD and i just flowed with it as i talked with them as a family, father mother and children. I just expressed my GREAT LOVE for them with all that i had!! Tears filled my eyes and filled the room!! I talk of this great gospel that promises us SO MUCH if we follow the council of the Savior. I just let the spirit talk to me and through me as i looked into their eyes praying, for Him to take the message from my heart to theirs!! I talked of you, mom and dad, and told Ana and Felix how much they both remind me of you. I told them about the letter you wrote to us kids mom, as a gift of the 30 year anniversary. I talked of the love that you both share for each other even in the SMALL things and with the small things great things come to pass. Every time Felix comes home he gives Ana a kiss just to show that he loves her and that he is happily home!!! I looked Felix in the eyes and told him how much i look up to him and how much i truly love them and told him all the many things that i have learned from him!! I told him how i see him!! I said that i cant even find the words to describe my love for this great and amazing family and i told them that i love them with all of my heart!! As i said it they all said it back through the tears. The 3 of us jumped on Felix (URRY, TORIBIO, SPIRIT) and talked to him of the blessings of marriage.  He opened up and we ended some of his small doubts but there are still some BIG ONEs hidden that we have to solve. Like ALWAYS as missionaries and representatives of the Savior we invited him to pray to his Loving Heavenly Father and to ask Him if he should get married. He said that he would. We promised him an answer if he went to the Father without doubts and requirements. Then Ana told me some sweet but also hard things to hear. She expressed her love for me and how i will always be with them wherever i am. She told me how much she loves all of you, (my family) how privileged she feels that i wanted her to see the family pictures and how i want her to meet you. She then said hard things, how they will always love me and care for me even though they probably wont ever be able to go visit me in Arizona like they will be able to visit Elder Toribio in Nagua (north DR). It was hard to hear that but i felt their love for me just the same!! It was a powerful lesson that i will never forget and it was all thanks to a simple ask, and we truly received!!! The Lord hears our humble prayers and He answers them!! If we ask with Faith! (3 Nefi 18:19-20). My prayer was answered in that moment and for that i will always be grateful to my Father in Heaven!! I know that we as members of the church have the GREATEST blessing to have as a constant companion the Holy Ghost.  He will safely guide us through!! Pray for this family but especially Felix. After the lesson everyone went into the kitchen to eat dinner.  Felix and I just stayed there talking. He has doubts but there are alot of things that are floating in his head!! Ana has a STRONG personality and is a very dominant person and all he was saying was “ella es muy fuerte URRY pero MUY FUERTE!” But we both just talked and had a good like 10 min talk!! Trying to follow the spirit because he is a way better teacher than me!! But after a good one on one talk he slapped my leg and said “lets go eat”. haha. It was an amazing night. One that i will never forget.

This gospel CHANGES PEOPLE and CHANGES LIVES!!! THat i know!! I HAVE SEEN IT!!!!

I know this work is so true and nothing else really matters!!!!!

I love you all so much!!!!

Have a great week!!

LOVE

SHORT LETTER, THE LIGHTS WENT OUT IN THE INTERNET CAFE!

Hey everyone!!!!

Alright everyone i  have gone to three different internet centers because the light has left in every one!!! It is super crazy  here but after 23 months you get used to it and i even like it!!!! jaja. Steve i cant believe you struck out swinging man!! haha. Thats alright though,  sounds like Brian has helped  you get your swing down a bit!! Brian sorry about the DBacks lose man!!! I wanted them to win!! But the Yankees lost to and that i am not sorry about haha!!! Just kiddin man!! haha.

 Famliy sorry- this week was great and i will let you know more about it next  time!! Or you can read my journal when i get home jaja. But pray for the family!! They are having the same problem as Santiago and Luisa- MARRIAGE!!! The dominican man doesnt like commitment!! But i have done this my whole mission!! Wedding planner!! We got this, but we will NEED all your prayers!!! It doesnt look too easy!! .

LOVE YOU ALL

CONFERENCE!!!!!!!!

Hey Everyone!!!!!

Thanks for all the letters and thoughts and prayers!!!!!! Mom and Dad happy 30th!!!! Thats something that a Kid doesnt have to remember because we werent alive when you both got hitched!!!!!! jaja. But i hope you have fun over there in the island of the pacific while i am doing big things over here in my island of the Caribbean. 

This weekend was GREAT!!!!!!!!! Conference was one of the BEST of my whole mission and there was tons of GREAT talks that i felt were written exactly for me, and what they said was exactly what i needed to here. The thing that i realized as i was talking with my comp Elder Toribio about the conference is that alot of the talks if not all of them are based in KEY and BASIC principles and ordinance's of the True gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  What we hear in the conference are the Words of the Lord for us and are things that we need to hear and need to improve on!!! The gospel is so true and so SIMPLE!!! We must follow the Savior, trust in Him and follow his true and everlasting gospel!!! They talked on Prayer, Reading the Scriptures daily especially the BOOK OF MORMON!!!!!!!! ( best book on earth).  They talked on simple commandments and they put it SO CLEAR so that we could all understand CLEARLY and so that we could act and get better!!! They talked of LOVE and most importantly MISSIONARY WORK!!!!!!!!! ´´EVERY MEMBER A MISSIONARY!!!!!!!!´´ We have all been called to this great and marvelous work!!!! I loved the whole conference so much and it was something that i needed!! Like i am sure we all did. The words of the prophets are WORDS OF PEACE and COMFORT, WORDS OF HOPE and JOY that heal the wounded soul that is diligently and relentlessly searching to be healed. This healing power comes from two basic things that i learned from my two loving parents. (1) Sincere PRAYER to a loving Heavenly Father, looking to Him for help and divine guidance. (2) Diligent study of the Word of God found in His holy scriptures. (Iron rod is the word of God that will safely guide us through).

If we stick to the basics we will progress so so much both personally and spiritually!!! This can be applied in all things. Baseball, if your swing is all out of wack, you relax and trust in yourself and go back to the basics and look at the basic things that work. Weaknesses, Then you take those weak things and make them strong!!! (Ether 12:27) It is the same in the Gospel. We have all entered into the path by being baptized (and for those who havent, search your soul and look for answers and you can too find out that these things are true for yourself) and we have all received the gift of the Holy Ghost that will lead us and guide us in our way and will tell us all the things that we should do. (2 Nep 32:5) So we need to use the tools we have been given and go back to the basics in the Gospel to get back on track in the path that lead to the gates of our Father in Heaven. The path is not easy, who said it would be, BUT I PROMISE YOU THAT IT IS ALL WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!.  That i know with all my heart. With great Sacrifices, Great blessings are given. We all get lost in the business of everyday day life and thinking and pondering on things that really have no importance if you look upon it in a eternal prospective, so all we have to do is repent. Realize that we are struggling a bit and try to get better. Repentance is a change of heart. If we change our heart and try to follow our Savior and His Gospel he will make up for the rest because that is what the Scriptures say!!! (THE ATONEMENT). This Gospel is SO TRUE and SO SIMPLE, we are the ones that make if complicated!!!! There is a great slogan that is great for us to understand, called ´´KISS´´ (Keep it simple Stupid!!!) haha. If we keep it simple and stick to the basics, living and teaching TRUE principles to others through word and action we will receive the great promised blessings. I know that this Gospel is so true and so simple. Our loving Father in Heaven gives us the answers in His words and all he wants us to do is feast upon them!!! So let us take heed to the words we just heard this last weekend, repent and get better!!! BECAUSE NO ONE IS PERFECT!!!!!!! And He that was PERFECT beckons us to follow His humble footsteps so we can become like HE IS!!!!!! Family and friends i love you all so much!!! This work is so true and i am so lucky to be apart of it!!! Pray for me and these people here and for all the missionaries in the world so we can find the lost souls (children) of our Father in Heaven!!!!!

 I love you all

ELDER URRY,

PS. In the 2nd session on Sunday the old guy that talked before Elder Cook is one of my best buddies!! Elder Cornish!!!!! He is the 2nd councilor of the Area here and in one of our zone Conferences he talked to us. Also in a Zone leader council he talked to us!! But after that conference with us My Comp Elder Toribio and I visited Ana and the family with ELDER CORNISH and with President Rodriguez. Basically President and Elder Cornish were the missionaries and we were the members there to support!!! haha. It was amazing to teach Ana with Elder Cornish and our President. An experience that i will never forget. Elder Cornish said that if he gets to live to be 90 he doesnt think he will meet someone as special as Ana!!!! He also told me and my comp that we were great missionaries and to keep up the great work. Props from the BIG GUY!!!!! HAHA. So that was alot of fun to see him speak and Ana felt special that a Big Shot like him was in her house teaching and then drinking lemonade and eating crackers!! haha. It was awesome!! Just thought i would let you all know that!!! haha!!

LAST TRANSFER OF MY MISSION-BUT NOT BEING TRANSFERRED

HEY EVERYONE!!!

You will all hate me for this letter but i have no time left!!!! SORRY!!!! I am doing great and the work is great!! I am so excited for General Conference this week i really need to hear what our Heavenly Father needs to tell me through the words of the profetas. (Prophet)  (D&C 1:37-38)

I know that there is something that everyone of us needs to hear. Let us open our ears and BE WILLING to follow what we FEEL and HEAR so that we can grow more spiritually and be the servants that Master needs.

This week was transfers and i stayed here, of course, but i will stay with my comp Elder Toribio who is a stud!! This is the last transfer that i will have here in the mission and i am so excited to work and bring as many souls to Cristo (Christ) as i can. We have the family and they are doing great.  Pray for them and for us to do all that we can to help them solve their doubts and questions!! They are such an amazing family and we are so blessed to know them and bring them to the light of the truth!!!

Listen to conference and look for answers to your prayers, you will hear them if you listen to the spirit, that i know and promise!!!!

I promise that next week it will be a better letter, this last transfer i will try to make every letter great!! haha.

Love ELDER URRY

HUGE. ..GIANT  plans for you!!! This work is the best blessing that you will ever partake of in your entire life!!! THAT I PROMISE YOU!!!! You are more than prepared for the BATTLE!!!!!! But never stop preparing!!!!! I will love to study with you for that time that we will have before you take off!!! I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!   My brothers are STUDS!!!!! With the BEST OLDEST SISTER!!!! How lucky am i!!!  BRI and Steve i knew it was your bday so dont get all mad that i didnt say it in the letter!.. But i was telling everyone here that it was your bdays!! I hope they were great!! Mine was!! We had a bday party at the familia house that we are teaching!! We played Dont Eat Pete and it was THE BEST!!!! Ana (the mom) is crazy!!! She went and got a big wooden bat thing so that we wouldnt hit her with pillows!! HAHA But we still let her have it!! But she is a punk, she LOVED the Skittles and wouldn't play unless there was TWO candies in every spot!!! HAHAHA. This familia is amazing as well!!

The Lord has truly blessed me throughout my WHOLE life with an amazing family and here in the mission he has given me the same thing!!! I have had the privilege to be able to teach families here and bring them to the gospel but also i have been given families from all the areas i have been in that are members!! I LOVE THE FAMILY!!!!!!! I feel like i am at home!!!! This next week is transfers and then the next transfer will be my last.  i just want time to stop in its tracks and stay here forever!!! I truly feel at home here. Mom i told you that you were gonna come and get me with dad and steve but i planned now that you guys will just leave and leave me here some more time!! I have left everyone of my areas telling everyone that i will be back with my parents and brother, but now i realize that when that time comes this will be the GOODBYE that will hurt the most!!!! I dont want that time to come!!! Like Brian always said, it sounds cliche the love that you gain for the people but he told me that it’s real before i came out here and now i understand him PERFECTLY!!!! This love that burns deep within my heart for this beloved people is something that i cant put to words it is only something that i can feel, and a feeling that has been BURNED into my heart. It is the pure love that Christ feels for everyone of us!! I feel TRUE and REAL JOY when i am with these people and it is something that i desire my whole life!! I love these people and i cant say it enough!!!

This Sunday Ana and her kids were at church, Ana came up to me, she was on the phone, and tells me “Urry Feliz (her husband) says that he wants to come, should i go get him from the market?” I yelled almost in the sacrament meeting but told her yes!! So she called back and he said that he was just gonna come by himself.  But he asked Ana if he could come in his normal platanoe selling cloths  and i said yelling almost yes!!! haha. Feliz is one that thought we were crazy CIA people that just did crazy things, and he believed all the things that he heard in the streets about us!! Which are never good!! haha. But he came in and sat down next to his wife and his kids and his wife just had her arm around him the whole time!! She has wanted him to come to church SO BADLY!!!! And he came!!! The two boys had white shirts and ties on too!!!! IT WAS THE BEST!!! Feliz and Ana Loved the church but Feliz really liked it being his first time going!!! I had never seen Ana So happy!!! She was taking him around presenting him to all the members saying “This is my amazing husband Feliz!!!” It was the best!! I was so happy!!! Then after, they all went home, the 5 of them so happy!! But in the house the daughter asked feliz if he liked church and he said “OF course!!! I love it!! I met so many people and they didnt even care that i was in jeans and a stained scrub shirt!!” Then the daughter asked him if he was gonna keep going and he said even more excited “Claro que sí!!!!” Which mean more or less “yes of course” but it is way better in Spanish!!! haha. When they told us that we were overflowing with JOY!!!! We really had a great lesson with them on Friday night!! We were talking and normally Ana dominates the conversation and the lesson as we teach but then i felt the great impression to talk to Feliz and focus in on him!! We were talking a bit and then i just turned to Feliz on my left and told him what i felt!! I felt in my heart to tell him the things that i have seen in him!! The Attributes of Christ that he has. I told him of his love for others and how he is a great father and is loved by everyone!! I told him that his Father in Heaven has great and eternal plans for he and his family but he being the father needs to be their leader so that they can receive the eternal blessing from on high!! I poured my heart into it so that he could feel the power of this great message of joy and so he could feel the love that i have for he and his family!!! I was staring in his eyes and i knew that the spirit had carried that message to his heart!! We walk out of that lesson and i just gave my comp a fist pump and told him that we got to him, we got to feliz´s heart!! But truly it wasnt us that did it but the truthfulness of this message and the great power of the Spirit that did all the work, we are just the instruments in the Lords hands. THE TOOLS!!!! But we as tools have to be more than ready at all times to be used by the Maker!!! This family is amazing and we hope to see them enter into the waters of baptism soon!!! Pray for them!! And pray for us to be able to guide them there!!

This gospel BLESSES FAMILIES!!!!!!! That is what it does and that is what it is meant to do!!! I have seen it in MY LIFE back at home and here in my home in the DR!!! I know that this gospel is so true!!! I know it and I CANNOT DENY IT like the beloved prophet Joseph always said!!!

I love you all so much and hope the best for you in this next week!!!! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU EVEN KNOW!!!!

Your beloved Son, Brother, and Friend!!!!
