¿Hola Familia y Amigos como están ustedes? entonces yo estaba pensando que la obra misional es una bendición grande en mi vida!! yo he aprendido muchas cosas y en verdad yo espero que ustedes están orando cada día! esta semana fue muy rápido y la misión esta pasando! Me gustaría compartir mi testimonio acerca de La Oración! Antes de la misión yo sabia que la oración fue importante pero yo he realizado cuan importante es la conversación con nuestros Padre Celestial! Un noche yo estaba pensando mucho en mi área y las personas que estamos enseñando y yo sentí muy preocupado! entonces esta noche yo ore y hable con mi Padre Celestial sobre mi preocupaciones y el me dijo que todo esta bien y que El es feliz con nosotros! Yo sentí un sentimiento de gozo y paz que yo estoy haciendo su voluntad! So this last week has been full of blessings! So thursday was good and we had a few great lessons about El plan de salvación and it was amazing to see the people to feel the spirit and to feel at peace with themselves!! so friday was good and we recieved another family to teach!! Saturday was really good but a little hot and reallt long because no was really home! Sunday was a good but bad day!! the part where we went to church and part took of the sacrament but as we finished with our clases one of the investigators of the sisters ran out crying!! we found out that her DAD had passed away! she said to us that morning that she felt that someone was pushing her to church! i felt like crying with her because i remembered something about the people that i have lost and im grateful for the knowledge of the plan of salvation! two weeks ago i gave this father of hers a blessing! this guy doesnt know spanish just french! but as i gave him that blessings i said to him and i dont know why but that he will leave this earth with peace and as i said that he had gave me a hug and started crying! when he passed away he family had said that he died in peace! im grateful the priesthood and its wonderful power!! Monday we had went to this mans funeral and that investigator had asked me to say a pray in order to bring peace to the family and as i said the prayer everyone went quiet and the spirit was so strong! On tuesday or yesterday was good and i really hope that we can have the spirit with us always like this!! 

well family this is my week!!! love you guys soo much!

P.s.. mom can you guys sendme a an oil container to give blessings!

For thos who think they want to on a mission dont think anymore just do it!! well my week!! so on thursday we had a few lessons but nothing special but friday was just full of blessings!! so friday we were teaching this new investigador named Jose!! he is amazing!! so we taught him about Jesus Christ and his Atonement! and i have never felt the spirit so strong in during a lesson like this one!! Jose has had a hard life he an accident and lost part of his foot and his leg doesnt really have bones because of this accident!! so he is really humble and very smart! he doesnt have much but he thanks his Father for this test he has recieved and that touched my heart that even though he cant do very much he was still able to love life and just be happy! he has a great spirit to him and i hope that one day i can have that kind of Faith!! so saturday was really good!! we taught a few people and i feel that it was a very relaxed day! so Sunday was amazing only because we saw like 15 more people sitting in sarement meeting so we are definetly building the lords kingdom here! so monday we had a few lessons and we had a family night and it went great!! so tuesday was really sweet we had more lessons than a normal day and i was able to see more people willing to listen and that we stayed busy all day!!

hola Familia y amigos como están!!!

 hey Family I'm soo grateful that its finally Wednesday and that i can tell you about this wonderful week!! so this week has been great and soo many blessings and miracles that i have seen!! so last week President Douglas gave me a missionary in order for him to learn how to be missionary. i realized that night what President was trying to do was to put his trust in me and lords trust as well! I prayed to Heavenly Father to find out what i should do! I decided that i will find something to get him motivated and that is P90X and we are working harder as ever!! so those who don't know what P90X is its a work out program in order to lose all your fat and gain muscle! i found a few things that he has gone through in the mission and even before the mission and i really feel humbled by his story! he is a great missionary and friend! i really feel that it was a blessing form the Lord because its opportunity to grow and learn more and more! Ya so im going to get really strong!! well Thursday the first day this week was really sweet because we were teaching this new investigator about the Book Of Mormon and i felt the spirit soo strong there because these people told me that they really do believe that its a true book and that they feel that the Lord is telling them to follow listening to us and that what we are teaching is true! its really hard to find people in this area that are willing to read and know that the Book Of Mormon is true but when the people do there part in the work they will recieve that testimonio!! so Friday was awsome but it was a normal day!! Saturday was cool because we were talking to this one new convert about obediencia and about the Sacrament! he was having a lot of problems in his family and he started crying to us about how he doesnt feel like Jesus Christ is with him and that he doesnt deserve to go to church!! So we talked a little more about the love of Christ!! At the end of the lesson we had asked us to give a blessing! this was one of the best experiences that i have had! i gave him the blessing and a the end he started crying because he felt the spirit testify that everything would good!! He said that he had never felt the spirit so strong!! it was the most spirtual experience that i have ever felt!! so any Sunday was great because we recieved 5 more people that we can teach!! this work is really growing and really feel like now we can start working the way the lord wants! Monday was good we had a family night with these members about Obedience again and it went great because i really believe that this family will start to grow and become like a family that can enter the temple and be sealed! this is a wonderful opportunity to have temples and to have families that can be forever! we need to all stay worthy to enter the temple in order for us to feel closer to our Heavenly Father! Families are so important and such a blessing but if we arent doing what we need to do then there goes that blessing! we need to all be worthy to recieve a temple recommend and try to better every week!! this is the only way to live together again!! Tuesday was awsome because we had another family to teach and i really think that this family will become a important part in the ward! I love this work and blessings that we are receiving!! Judy and Dave i love you guys soo much!! im sorry for the trials that you are facing! i will have you in my prayers!! this week was good! thanks for prayers and love!!!

p.s. mom is it ok to out Beef Jerky in my package!
