Well family,
I guess another week has
gone by. I guess I have to rack my brain to try and think which stories to tell
and what not to tell. Every pday is a blessing. I
think that just about every missionary would agree with that! The stress and the pains and the headache of the mission life could just about drive anyone
crazy and it sometimes drives me crazy. haha Last night as we finished
taking numbers the four of us from my house when on to the roof to look at the
stars. To talk to relax. We drank a small mate and went to sleep. It was nice.
We all feel better after a long and hard week.
One of the things we have
been doing is watch the bible videos www.lds.org/bible-videos/videos?lang=eng For those of you
who understand Spanish I would suggest watching is Spanish because it's
better.
We are teaching Alexis and
this week we challenged him to tell his parents that we wants to get baptized.
He is super awesome he wants us to teach his parents and he wants to go on a
mission. We are going to be doing his baptism in two weeks if everything is
according to plan.
Last night we went to teach
a few recent converts and it was bad. They totally got baptized because the Elders were cool and the Elders baptized them because they were
ready. I hate that. Many things that are counted don't count. And
many things that don't count, count. I live by that saying.
This week we
stopped by the elder's quorum president's house because he had a talk. We gave him a few
ideas. A few talks and left him to do what he wanted. He gave a great talk and I
felt the spirit teach us as he spoke. That is something that doesn't count.
But it does in heaven. And that is why we are here.
A scripture from D&C
always helps 128:22-25.
22 Brethren, shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory! Let your hearts rejoice, and be exceedingly glad. Let the earth break forth into singing. Let the dead speak forth anthems of eternal praise to the King Immanuel, who hath ordained, before the world was, that which would enable us to redeem them out of their prison; for the prisoners shall go free.

23 Let the mountains
shout for joy, and all ye valleys cry aloud; and all ye seas and dry
lands tell the wonders of your Eternal King! And ye rivers, and brooks,
and rills, flow down with gladness. Let the woods and all the trees of
the field praise the Lord; and ye solid rocks weep for joy! And let the sun, moon, and the morning
stars sing together, and let all the sons of God shout for joy! And let
the eternal creations declare his name forever and ever! And again I
say, how glorious is the voice we hear from heaven, proclaiming in our
ears, glory, and salvation, and honor, and immortality, and eternal life; kingdoms, principalities, and powers!
24 Behold, the great day of the Lord is at hand; and who can abide the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fuller’s soap; and he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering
in righteousness. Let us, therefore, as a church and a people, and as
Latter-day Saints, offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness; and
let us present in his holy temple, when it is finished, a book
containing the records of our dead, which shall be worthy of all acceptation.
The church is true. I know it.
Sonreindo Siempre
