Hey family. Oh man we had a crazy week. But it was awesome, we are working our butts off. This week we had 5 investigators in the chapel, the most I have had all my mission. Also we has 4 people with baptismal dates. Their names are Belen, Anastacia, Karen, and Felicinda. They are all really prepared and ready to take this big step in their lives. It is crazy, we are seeing so many miracles in this sector. hey family. the first pic is of my comp elder lira, he is from peru
This is the car that we have in our house. we have permission to use it...if we can fix it haha. ya it is dead but its still my baby.
So I am going to explain how we found Belen. We had this really hard day when everything fell through. We had a bunch of awesome people to teach and no one was home. So we were walking around trying to figure out what we were going to do when my comp said that we should go see a less active. So we went and started talking this lady and her daughter. She said that her other daughter was sick and wanted a blessing. So we went upstairs and gave her a blessing. Then the mom told us that somehow the missionaries always come when she needs them the most. She said that she wanted to come back to church and said that she would if heavenly father would send her a sign…haha her older daughter also said that she had desires to return to the church. Thats when her youngest daughter said that she wanted to get baptized. Her name is Belen and she is 9 years old. Belen also told us that when she turned 21 she wants to be a missionary…haha they are so awesome and they came to church this past week. So we are really busy and time is just flying by. Also belen looks exactly like jenna. She is pretty white and has long red hair. Everytime I see her I think of ya jenna haha.
My comp and I are getting along better. There are still times when we have arguments and what not but its expected…being with someone 24/7 for weeks at a time can do that to ya. Also in our sector we have a part that is in the country so we hop on a bus and get to take a nice drive out into the country to visit this family that we are teaching. We have done service there 3 times now and man does it remind me of home. Haha I haven’t worked that hard in a long long time. They have a farm and this old guy named luis (he looks and talks just like gramp Lamoreaux) haha it is so funny. He makes me smile every time he talks cause he is exactly like him. hey fam this is why i didnt write ya yesterday. we had to change the pday to go to this musium (dont know how to spell anymore) of airplanes. it was pretty sweet. i love ya all tons. chao
So this week I ended a goal that I have had since the MTC. The first day in the MTC I started reading the Book of Mormon in Spanish out loud and this week I finished after nearly one year!!! It was so incredible the spirit I felt as I read the words of moroni, his promise, his hope and love that he had for the people and for the Lord. I cant explain the feelings that hit me when I finished those words. I love the Book of Mormon so much. It really is the word of God. He loves His children and he will always help them in any way that He can. The Book of Mormon is true. There is no doubt in my mind. If any of you have doubts about this church, just read the Book of Mormon and those doubts will wash away. I love reading the Bible, which I will end the old testament before the end of this year. But the Book of Mormon has a spirit that I cant find anywhere else. This is a christmas tree that i found in the attic. we put lights on it and i bought a star in the feria. it is small and doesnt have a stand thing on the bottom so it falls over a lot but its awesome and its ours
Well I gotta go but I love you guys and all that you do. I hope you liked the pics and the necklaces that I sent. Sorry dad landon and jansen, that I didn’t sent ya anything but I will soon. I think it will be after Christmas but it will be your presents ok? It is hard to find stuff and we really don’t have time to do anything but I will try. Also mom and grandma, I wont have anytime this month to look for nativity scenes sorry. But next year I will buy one for you ok? Haha I love you all tons and I am sitting here sweating my head off in the middle of December. Hope that you guys get snow soon and that you enjoy it for me cause I wont see snow for another year…stinks but its all good. Have a awesome week fam. Love you all more than you know. Chile Rocks and im loving the work!!! ¡¡Chao!!
Love ya
