Nov. 15

I had a fantastic week! I didnt baptize anyone this last week, but thats ok because we weren't allowed because it was stake conference. But this week you better bet I will be baptizing.

I have been working super hard and really I am exausted. Imagine it...here lately its been like 80 degrees and I walk in it all day trying to find people. I want you now to try.... ya try....and imagine me in the middle of a super busy city street bearing testimony that Jesus is the Christ and that I have a message that will bless each and every part of their lives... i did like 190 of those this last week.

I know its probably hard to imagine but i sure do love working for the Lord. There is not one person that couldnt benefit from this wonderful message of peace and love. I have been thinking a lot about the letter grandpa wrote me and it brings tears to my eyes everytime i think about his words... so powerful. it all started in the waters of baptism and will never end. thanks to my grandparents, my parents and all their examples, I have been brought up in this church, the only true church to be known. I love this work. Thank you so much mom, and dad for all your sacrifices that you have made for your son.

This week I am moving houses because tomorrow 2 more missionaries will be living with us. Right now i am running two wards, but as for tomorrow i will only be in one.. i have been working super hard preparing the area. looking for houses etc. all the work.. wow!

Also this last week, I have been finding some really neat families to teach and soon convert, like rebeca and her family, we taught last night in the chapel. How much I love to gives tours in the chapel and every time I watch for their expressions when I show them the baptisimal font, its great. Everytime I teach someone, I really try to imagine them all in white. Its so beatiful.. also, as district leader I have been getting my elders excited about the work. This week and the next we will all be baptizing giving us a total of as many baptisms as other zones that have 20 missionaries.. i love getting people exited about the work.

I have also been working with the teachers quorum presidente eliu. he went on divisions with us 2 times this last week and is starting to beg us to come with us, he loves contacting. We are trying to reactivate his whole quorum.... i really am watching God "gettin r done" down here with me helping out in it all. But as the scriptures says, I have to work with diligence in the vineyard to be blessed and to bless my family and my future wife and my eternity...... i love you all so much but I am going to have to go now.

I sure love you all... read your scriptures and be good in doing all things so that ye might have promise in the day to come... entonces arrepentaos os digo para que entonces vereis que pues ya jeje les amo
