What a great 2 years that have passed by! In this experience of being one of Christ's representatives, I have learned many many things. God has molded me and has made me into the man He wants me to be. It's incredible to see how God can work in one's life. My dad has a phrase "A positive attitude will take you further in life than skill or talent ever will." And I have seen that that is true. Despite the sweltering heat, blisters, days without water in the house, if one has a positive attitude those times will be the best memories that that person can have. I love each and every memory that I now have from serving a 2 year mission. One day I was thinking about my dad's phrase and another popped into my head: "Work Hard, Work Happy." Going along with having a good attitude, if we just get down and dirty with the work and if we do it with a smile, that's when everything is worth it. Just get working, sweat is the key to happiness!!</span></span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Being on a mission I have learned many things, but one of the most important would be that of receiving personal revelation. I can remember many very distinct times where I felt lead by the Lord. I have felt His counsel and have been blessed when I have followed it. I know He works with each one of us, one on one. And I'm grateful for the help He constantly gave me.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;" /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Before the mission, I had no idea what a good goal was. I didn't even know how to set one. But man has that changed. I can say, with a lot of gratitude, that I reached every goal I put here. Except one, and that goal was to eat 1000 pupusas....I only got 897 :(..... When we put goals, we show the Lord what we want to reach, and that's how He knows exactly how to help us. I saw His help more times than I can count, in reaching my goals. And I know that that skill will help me in the future. </span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I want to end with my testimony. I know that this is God's work. He directs it. I participated in the Gathering of Israel and I will continue participating in this work. I know that miracles exist. God loves us, His son lives. The Book of Mormon is a book that has answered all my questions. It has changed my life. I live with the hope to be with my family for forever. It's not just a hope, but a reality, and I want that. I hope to answer my Father in Heaven when that day comes when we will see Him face to face, and tell Him that I consecrated my mission and now it is something very sacred to me. I love this work. I love this gospel. If you feel the same way, I congratulate you. If not, come see why I believe in all these things. Ask me about them. I know that these things are true and I share them in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.</span></div>

He is full of mixed emotions as his mission comes to a close next week. He and his companion continue to work hard and it's been a little hard on Dallin knowing he won't be in El Salvador to see the fruits of his labors. He is excited to come home but will miss those people he has grown so fond of in El Salvador. We can't wait to hear more stories when he gets home! In the mean time, here are some pictures to enjoy...</span><br />

They've had several families getting baptized as well. He is so happy to see other people accepting the gospel in their lives and to see how happy they are. For the last little while and until he comes home, he is training a new Elder. He is loving it! Honestly, that's all when it comes to news from Dallin!! :) Here are some pictures to enjoy.</span><br />

I apologize for not updating the blog in a long time. His emails have been pretty short and sweet lately. He has been working hard and working closely with the President. We found out that he will be coming home the beginning of July. There was some confusion at first because he was originally told he'd be coming home the end of May but as it turns out, it's July. His mission has gone by quickly! At least for some of us. He has thoroughly enjoyed serving the Lord and the people of El Salvador. </span>Elder Dallin Hazelgrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642100369231176983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4190350470592257423.post-8998985970950519312015-02-24T18:35:00.000-08:002015-02-24T18:35:25.242-08:00Pictures<span style="font-size: large;">This week some of their investigators got married!

He was thinking what has made his mission great and the thought came to him "work hard, work happy." We have to put in a lot of effort to make things good and if we can do that with a smile on our face, we will be successful. He has really loved his mission. He loves meeting new people and being able to share the gospel with them. They are helping to plan a wedding and are having a few baptisms this week. They continue to work hard and found 3 new families this week! </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This week is transfer week so unfortunately his email today was super short. He is doing well and loving the people of El Salvador. He's been traveling around his area more and a lot of times on his P-days he isn't close to computers. We did find out over Christmas that he will be coming home in May now! Before he left on his mission, there were changes and because of those changes, the missionaries that left when Dallin did missed the last transfer of their mission by one day and are all going home in May instead of July. He had a very hard time with it at first but after talking to his mission president he feels much better and knows things happen for a reason. We are still having mixed feelings ourselves but are very excited as well :) It has been so fun hearing from him each week and seeing how he is maturing. He is such a good example to many and we are so proud of all he has done and continues to do especially in the lives of those people in El Salvador. </span><br />

He was able to help a family build their house. He loved that experience! He also helped a man sell his bread (which is how this man makes a living) and he and his companion were able to have some family home evenings that night. The missionaries had a Christmas dinner with the mission president. He has been traveling around a bit, going to areas that are further out within their zone and that keeps him very busy. We were able to talk to him on Christmas morning and it was so great! He looks good and is doing amazing :)</span><br />

He is doing well. He is helping to organize a large activity at the temple in El Salvador. He didn't elaborate, but it must be for Christmas. They baptized a man named Julio Cesar. Dallin says Julio is very faithful and was thankful for the small miracle it was to get him baptized. On p-day they were able to visit a volcano! There was a lagoon at the bottom of it and they played soccer there with lots of kids. He loved it! </span><br />

My life has been a little crazy lately so please forgive me!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dallin has been keeping busy of course. They continue to meet new investigators and have more baptisms. El Salvador had an earthquake a couple weeks ago. It was a large one, 7.3 to be exact! We had no idea it happened, but we received an email from his mission president saying that all the missionaries were okay and no harm came to anyone. We were a little surprised to receive that email but very glad that everyone was okay. Dallin said in his email the following week that while the earthquake was happening, he and his companion had to run out of their apartment because things were falling all around them! We are so proud of Dallin and his continued efforts to bring souls unto Christ.</span><br />

They had several investigators that said they no longer want to be taught the gospel. Of course as a missionary that is hard to hear when that is your main job as a missionary; to bring people to the gospel. Elder Beck from the General Young Men's presidency came for a zone conference. Dallin said that his zone seems to not care as much about progressing the work of the Lord. It's always good to hear from Elder Hazelgren but it's sad to see him discouraged. We know the missionaries are working hard to tell people about the gospel. They of course have their free agency as well. Dallin said it rains everyday! He loves the rain so I'm sure he's enjoying this weather. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">"This week was a little difficult, we had many troubles finding people to teach and we faced so many rejects this week. Wow, I got knocked down again and again and again and again. But that day really taught me something, I actually didn't get mad at the people, I really improved in my patience that's for sure. And I'm learning how Christ loved the people that rejected him. Yea its hard, but at the end of the day I felt really good with how the day went down. So another day, we couldn't find anyone, I told my comp we were gonna pray in the street. So we did, continued getting rejected, continued trying our patience, but after a couple hours we finally found a family. the dad, Douglas, is super positive and he is inviting his whole family to listen to us. Also, later on, we found another family that are strong Catholics. we taught them, the lesson went good, we left. but then we passed by like an hour later, and they were all reading the pamphlet still! haha wow, so maybe they will progress, we will go back today!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Last p-day, we had a lot of games with the Zone, it went way good, everyone got rid of the idea that the ZLs are garbage, because the other 2 that got kicked out before me were really, really bad. anyway, we regained their confidence and the zone is really doing great! We also had our zone conference, baked cookies for each elder and everyone had a good time at the conference. The zone is really doing good in unity!"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy a few pics...</span><br />

He is in an area called Soyapango. He also has a new companion names Elder Morales from Ecuador. The previous zone leaders in this area got taken out because they weren't doing as they should so Dallin is training a new zone leader. He also said a few areas in his zone had missionaries taken out so they are trying to "revamp" the area and have honorable missionaries serving there. Elder Morales and Elder Hazelgren are working to get more baptisms in this area. He is excited for this challenge. </span><br />

<em>Returned Missionaries in Montecarmelo</em>Elder Dallin Hazelgrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642100369231176983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4190350470592257423.post-39843949286653829752014-08-04T21:27:00.000-07:002014-08-04T21:27:12.895-07:00Spiritual Experience<span style="font-size: large;">This week Elder Hazelgren had a cool spiritual experience and so I'm just going to leave it in his own words...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"This week, I had a very spiritual experience. You know how Veronica got baptized a little bit ago, well we have been working with her husband, man is he tough. but anyway, we visited him on Friday. I asked him how he was and everything, he said "good, I'm ready to get baptized.".... ok, so I asked him "how do you know?" "well, I have had like 3 dreams this week with you, elder Hazelgren, dressed in white with me at your side in white also, and you were doing the thumbs up. I know that the lord is answering my prayers and I want to get baptized." alright, I wont lie, I teared up a little and I felt the spirit so strongly. My head was spinning but I felt at peace. "will you be baptized tomorrow at 5pm?" i asked. he said "sure, i actually asked for tomorrow off because i knew i would be baptized tomorrow." ok really i have never had an experience like it. but then my comp asked "and how we doing with the coffee?"...... "i drank this morning". NOOOO he was so ready for everything and asked for work off, and then he tells us that!!! Freak, transfers are this week and i fear i wont be in this area. man, i have never had a lesson like that, it was the most satisying experience to know that after working so hard with him, his name is Santos, he finally found an answer." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What a neat experience. It's so awesome hearing about these experiences and knowing that it's strengthening Dallin's testimony even more so. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dallin also helped build a house for a man named Manuel. He was ready to get baptized but was still living with his girlfriend, so the mission president asked the missionaries to build him a house so he could be baptized. The house took the Elders two days to build.</span><br />

<em>The inside of his new home</em>Elder Dallin Hazelgrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642100369231176983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4190350470592257423.post-70444044301766238902014-07-22T20:38:00.000-07:002014-07-22T20:38:28.323-07:00Mountain Hike<span style="font-size: large;">It was a good week for Elder Hazelgren. They had three baptisms, painted a home & climbed a mountain! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the baptisms was a guy named Balmore. He used to be an atheist and was part of the big gang in El Salvador called MS13. The missionaries had been working with him for about a year and each time they met, he tried to argue with him. Dallin and his companion "dropped" him, meaning they weren't going to teach him anymore if he wasn't willing to listen to what they had to say. They found him drunk about three weeks ago and he said when they "dropped" him, his life fell apart and that he was now willing to listen. He committed to baptism and his daughter Lesly also got baptized. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Another baptism was Veronica. She had been praying to see what she should do with her life. Dallin happened to knock on her gate for help looking for someone else. He said she was part of a large church there and the members of that church are hard to convert. She is now a great influence to her family, including her husband who could possibly get baptized. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">July 23rd also marks Dallin's ONE YEAR! We are so proud of him and love hearing of his experiences.</span><br />

They were eating lunch the other day and all of a sudden heard an uproar of cheering. He felt like he was in Brazil watching the game live! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dallin is still loving his new companion. He said that his companion is the one who likes to have a little fun while Dallin is the serious one. That was surprising to hear since Dallin is usually the one joking around. It's good that he's so focused on his mission.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They met with a former mission president of Honduras to get some insight of how to help the area they are serving in. They are also meeting with their mission president this week to discuss ways to better help those in their area. He's been busy but is grateful for the success they are seeing. </span><br />

He said he reminds him of our Dad, which of course our dad loved hearing :) Dallin is excited to see the new changes that will come from having President Vasquez there. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They had another baptism. His name is Giovanni and he is the first member in his family to be baptized. The rest of his family have baptismal dates set for this month! Giovanni is 20 years old and plans on serving a mission. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dallin is also loving his new companion. They get along really well and even have some fun together. </span><br />

Well this week has brought new changes as well. He got a new companion. Elder Soriano is his new companion and he is from Mexico. He was previously the assistant to the president and only has two months left in the mission field. Dallin is learning lots from his companion and he is a very humble guy. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">His new mission president is there now. Dallin was very grateful for his previous mission president and learned a lot of important things from him.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">All the areas in his zone had changes and he said it's like a new whole area now. He is getting to know lots of new elders. Their investigators are continuing their learning of the gospel and are still coming to church. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We love hearing from Elder Hazelgren and are so grateful he is doing well.</span><br />

Several of the missionaries in El Salvador had to go to Panama last week due to issues with their visas. Dallin said he can now check that off his bucket list :) There were issues leaving El Salvador and getting into Panama and also returning to El Salvador. It sounds like an adventure! He was able to go the Panama City Temple and see the Panama Canal and do some sight seeing. What a cool experience! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They had 2 more baptisms last week and more investigators at church on Sunday. Dallin has been nervous about being away from his area since going to Panama. He is in a different area right now while he waits for his companion to come back from the Dominican Republic. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The new mission president will arrive on Thursday and his mission president now leaves today. Dallin has loved getting to know President Glazier and his wife and is very grateful for them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's some pictures from his visit to Panama...</span><br />

First off, they were able to go to the temple as a zone and Dallin had a great time. He learned a lot which is one of the blessings of the temple. You learn something new each time or pick up on something you didn't before and it makes the experience that much sweeter. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They also had 3 zone conferences! Missionary work is hard but rewarding. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They baptized a girl named Roxana and her family only has one more person to be baptized so everyone will be a member soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One of their investigators that they've been working with for awhile on some word of wisdom issues got married this weekend. His name is Dyckson and his wife Lisette is a member of the church. They continue to work with him and he has now stopped drinking and smoking and they are hoping he will get baptized soon. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dallin is enjoying his mission and everything that goes along with it. It's so great to hear his positive attitude each week. </span><br />

He didn't elaborate on that but seemed very happy that they don't have to come in early anymore.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">His mission is getting a new mission president starting in July. His mission president right now bore his testimony along with his wife and Dallin said it was very powerful. He is excited about meeting his new mission president. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dallin is seeing a little of success with investigators and he's very grateful for it. They have three families on track to be baptized soon! Current investigators are coming to church more often which is so great. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They have another temple visit planned this week. </span><br />

"There is a guy here, Hermano Rojas, who was a Branch President in Montecarmelo a long time ago. He has 6 kids. Dedicated everything to the work. He sacrificed so much for other people, and money didn't matter to him. He had, each day, 2 eggs to give to his family to eat. Everyday, he would take one or two kids and say, "hey kids today you and I are going to fast!" because he didn't have anything else. 2 eggs..... 6 kids. But he dedicated everything and now he is relaxing because the lord blessed him with a good job, after 20 years and now doesn't have to work, he has so much money. THE LORD PROVIDES!"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought that story was powerful. We're so grateful that Dallin is having these experiences. These moments are testimony builders. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They are having success with their investigators and they keep showing up to church which is very great. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy the pictures...</span><br />

He was very happy :) He is doing well despite the danger in El Salvador. He said all the missionaries have to be in a lot sooner, 6 pm to be exact, because of the danger surrounding the areas where the missionaries are. Of course hearing that is scary but he has reassured us he is safe. We know the Lord is looking out for his missionaries. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They are doing conference calls with the District Leaders to higher the number of investigators. He said those calls seem to be helping and Dallin and his companion had 8 investigators at church on Sunday! They recently started visiting with a lady named Gladys who has had missionaries over for the last 20 years so he is hoping that this time around will be the time when she commits to baptism. She came to church on Sunday so he is hopeful. They have another baptism lined up for a guy who has been struggling with the Word of Wisdom. Dallin is excited about this one. This guy's name is Dyckson and he is getting married next month and baptized shortly after that. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We are so proud of Dallin and his efforts to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to he people of El Salvador.</span>Elder Dallin Hazelgrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642100369231176983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4190350470592257423.post-42515446715143137482014-05-19T18:20:00.000-07:002014-05-19T18:20:15.638-07:00Blessings<span style="font-size: large;">Like I mentioned last week, Dallin is in a very dangerous area. He mentioned two specific occurrences that happened this week where he and his companion were protected from dangerous and sad situations. He is very grateful for those people who as he said "are worthy enough of the spirit to help out the dumb elders." We are grateful as well that Dallin continues to be safe. It's comforting to know that he feels ok with the situations and knows he'll be safe. </span><br />

He sent a picture of the little girls in his ward doing a dance. (the picture is pretty blurry, sorry.)
