Meet Alejandra Frost!
I am from Honduras, I learned English in High School and then was able to practice it a lot while working at the US Embassy in my hometown Tegucigalpa. I think it could be better by now if my husband didn't speak Spanish, but he does and so we speak half and half most of the time. All my family is in Honduras and yes i miss them a lot, but Skype is my best friend :) i get to see them everyday. Ryan and I moved here to AZ because we started a technology business. I'll start attending ASU this Summer and i will be working on a degree called Non profit Leadership and Management. We're are also starting a non profit organization to help the less fortunate children in Honduras by providing them with full scholarships to obtain a quality education. I'm very excited about this!
Here are a few more questions we asked Alejandra to get to know her even better:
1. Tell us about you and your family. (for example...where are you from? What is your career? Where did you go to school/major? Are you married? What does your husband do? etc.)

2. If you had an hour free time, what might we find you doing?
Talking on Skype with my family
3. Share an experience that has strengthened your testimony or why the gospel is important to you?
Several years ago i was praying for something i desire so much, it was a righteous desire and i was sure that Heavenly Father was going to grant it to me. I was so happy about it that i had already started making plans, but my surprise didn't last for too long when i got a NO for an answer. I remember how sad I was, I cried and cried for hours, I felt hopeless, I felt alone, I even thought that Heavenly Father didn't hear my prayers.
During that moment a thought came to my mind that I should go check my mail so I did and to my surprise there I found the Ensign, at the beginning I must admit I didn’t even want to open it, I was still crying, but something told me to open it and reluctantly I did. I started reading the first presidency’s message which was written by Pres. Uchtdorf as soon as I started to read it the Holy Ghost filled my heart again with hope and joy. All the sadness I had was gone and now my heart was again rejuvenated after I read this paragraph: “The answers to our prayers come in the Lord’s due time. Sometimes we may become frustrated that the Lord has delayed answering our prayers. In such times we need to understand that He knows what we do not know. He sees what we do not see. Trust in Him. He knows what is best for His child, and being a perfect God, He will answer our prayers perfectly and in the perfect time.”

Those words brought a perfect reassurance that my Father was very aware of me and my righteous desires, that He was listening to my prayers and that he had written those words of encouragement to me at that time. My testimony about prayer has increased so much since that time and whenever i receive a NO for an answer my thoughts are always brought to that beautiful experience i had with my Heavenly Father.
