Dec. 13

hi family i am just sure mom has checked the mail and noticed that i have not written anything yet, yes i am running just a little late and well it raining i am sick with the cold and well things couldnt be any better.

so this last week i went to the temple for the second time here in the mission field, and i will just tell you all that are so lucky to be able to assist every week. i would give anything to go every week just to feel that good.

what a blessing it is to remember those sacred covenents that you have all made ...ok as for the work that i did this last week hmmm well i got chewed out bye an old investigator. i guess he was still mad because he didnt want to make the change and well stop destroying the family that he lives with. so now because of him he wont let my converts go to church and basically has the family scared to talk to us. its rediculas how satan worksin the hearts of those that do not have a desire to follow christ.
lets what else.... yesterday we got the change plans... well for my district and i there wasnt a single change we all will be together another 6 weeks. i am happy about that.

well we will be baptizing again this week thats always great, but only one problem involved, i have to empty all the water by bucket and hand everytime that we baptize...
i have been reading only the book of mormon, i dont know if i told you all, i started a month ago and will end on the 31 of this month reading the book of mormon in spanish in only 2 months. its way easier then oyu think but i dont just read it i study it, its so amazing how much one learns from reading the scriptures. everything just gets a little clearer.

i am super exited to talk to you all on the phone in a few weeks. i will tell you all like a thousand times or so i just cant believe how fast time goes by.... i will leave this little letter i have written with my testimony.

God speaks and lives and loves each and everyone of us. He expects that we give everything to recieve everything. this is the true church, it really is. en el nombre de jesucristo, amen
con mucho amor,
