Hey family! This week has been really tough but we finally will have a baptism this Saturday! I am really tired but this week we have really walked and looked for new people to teach! So this week we have had the blessing of teaching Joselo who will be baptized on Saturday! I feel so happy that he chose me to baptize him! I really feel blessed to be here in the mission! The blessings are so great and the sorrow so little! I really feel like that this is the true Gospel Of Jesus Christ! The Gospel gives us that peace and joy that we seek each and everyday! We can pass soo many difficulties, but the Gospel is the way to overcome everything! I wish i would have been a better brother,son, and friend before the mission! I have realized that through diligence in the scriptures and fervent prayers! I love the peace and teachings that i have learned here on the mission! This the preparation to be the Dad and Husband that i will need to be! I have been down this past week having health problems and being a little down about the work! I have felt down because of soo much that is happening at home! I know i need to be here, but family stop having kids and random things because i cant handle anymore! I love my savior and his teachings! I love his atonement and for the peace that i feel by his prophets. I have now less then 8 months in the mission! This will be the time where i will need to work harder than i ever had! I Love you guys sooo much!! I pray about you guys daily!

LOVE ELDER WESTENSKOW
