ALFAJOR FEST



Family,

How are you all doing? Its really good to hear from you all it s been awhile it seems like. Well everything in sant fe is going really good. Me and my comp are really good he is trying not to be trunky but everyone is making him really to that point. O by the way I did there is no way to put this easy I bought my comp a suit , but the thing is that he really needed on his pants were like 4 sizes to big his suits were really at the point of death , I just felt bad I did not want him to go home with such poor suts , I know I am suppost to by stuff for me but its what I felt I wanted to do with the money to help him feel better in his image so he could go home looking nic and sharp…

But as far as the work is going its going pretty good we found some people and few of them went to chruch this past week, but this next coming week we are going to be working really hard to get our goal for the transfer , of 12 programados , cuz the transfers ends this week so I wont be mailing you all tell Tuesday. Its so crazy how fast this time of the lord goes by in the mission ill already be on my 5th transfer so that’s pretty crazy just got to keep working hard for the lord, and just put my sholder to the wheel and keep pushing for the lord al the way through, tell the end. The great thing in the mission there is never nothing to be done , for the lord is always giving us work for him.

Sence this is the last week for my comp, we are doing something ALFAJOR FEST, in other words we have tons of Alfajors , which is like 2 cokies and in the middle is vinala , them chocalate warped al round it, and u put them in hot coco , and drink out off the alfajor we call it milking a moose… and we each do two por day…. Cuz its his last week in this country its really good lol

So that’s something a little different that we are doing in the south lol , the weather has been really hot this whole past week , but the weather man said it should cool down by the end of the week , but its just like El Paso they say one thing and some thing else happens , so will see…. And it really stinks cuz they pst a new rule saying that we have to be in suits so it makes it really , really hot…not suit weather lolo. Chruch was really good we had a lady in that we found this
past week , and I think she liked it , hopfuly she we will be there next week…but the spirit was strong the young kids always tell me to smile I think they like the way I smile or something…. Lol I am doing what you asked mom keeping a smile on my face…. So I am sending photos of the past baptism and when we went to walmart , and went we got to go to the beach, also it was a my district leaders birthday, so I made him a cake a huge one that cake was really heavy..lol chocalate and orange cake…. So the last photo is all the Alfajores that we are eating through out the week… lol

Love you all , I love the time in my life to serve the lord in his holy work, I love how everyone of you have helped me in a way to prepare for this time in my life , I love you all so much keep strrong in this great true chruch, I thank you for everything in every way, I love you all to the depths of my own soul, always will you all be in my heart, don’t forget to ask if you all need anything from me… love you

Let us Accept Him in our Lives and Families

Family,
Hello how are all you doing? It was so good to hear you all last night , its been a long time from the last phone call. I can't believe that the next time I'll be calling you all I will have left to go is a year and two months! But that is still in the future so I just got to go by day by day in the Lords work so that I can truly do everything I need to do for the Lord each day of the mission. But it was a great time to hear you voices …Well like I said we had a baptism this past week and it went really well. We still have hopes in getting another one before my comp has to go home.. don’t know who but we are going to find him or her.. lol I love this work of which I am doing so much, it brings joy to my soul to help someone come closer to the Lord.. it’s a very lucky honor of which I have to do, this great and wonderful work for the Lord, in this land of South America. This week is also going to be a week of hard work, like I said last night over the phone, but to tell you the truth I am looking really forward to this next week to find some of the Lords children to teach this gospel to. That to me is one of the greatest parts of the missions , just cuz there is so many different ways to try and find people that are ready to hear the gospel…My scripture for the week: Si , en verdad en verdad os digo que si todos los hombres hubieran sido , y fueran y pudieran siempre ser como Moroni he aqui , los poderes mismos del infierno se habrian sacudido para siempre ; si , el diablo jamas tendria poder sobre el corazon de los hijos d los hombres. Alma 48: 17I love this scripture cuz it show us how strong Moroni actually was in his faith in his beliefs, all in the memory of his God, why should we not try to become more, as he did in his strong faith. There is nothing stopping us except our own self's , we just have to realize what it is that we want and put our heart to it and ask the Lord in high faith to help us in our time to get our goals, not just spiritual goals , but as temporal as well. The Lord is there to help us out always it is us that pushes him away from our lives , let us accept Him, and give Him the highest honor and well help us through out our times of need , as well as in our times of prosperity, for our Lord and God are there for us always…LET US EXCEPT HIM IN OUR LIVES AND FAMILIES. I just thought that little spiritual thought might help some of you all out in the next coming week, as it did help me this past week…but family I truly love you all to the core of my soul , I know that we do have the true church on the earth today , and we are members of this great and wonderful church today. Let us become united as a family and become stronger in the faith of our Lord , so that we can stand strong on our foundation of Jesus Christ, in this world of wickedness and chaos . Let us become as the Lord would want us to become in this world today as members of his true chruch…Family I love you all take care be strong , love and server one another, and remember if there is anything that you all need I am here don’t be shy to ask.. Thank you for everything mom dad brothers , sister and family..

But me and the comp are really good , we are both doing really doing great on the book o mormon as are as the reading is going ,  but all in all we are doing good (de diez) lil of  argentine slang lol , But everything is going really good , also mom I say don’t worry about I the girls will like the camp, I t sounds so good I wish I could join you all lol. So good to here that about the power o the holy ghost did or te bread or your all ssacerment, as fare as us we have a new experisen every day with it, it truly does come rom the lord. My faith grows everyday by so much each day its amazing how much the lords hand is in are life to help us each day. Its so good to see that lie is good for everyone in the life, I am so glad I get to write you all cuz I love you all so much , this week is also mothers day , this Sunday , so it means we get to call you this week… I would like to do the call 8 o clock argentine time, but I cant remember the difference, or the life o me as fare as the time goes, I think its 4 hours , so the time my chang so you may neeed to look it up 4 me, and ii need you all to send me a list of phone numbers , and important numbers, cuz I will call you at frist , cuz ill be coming back to the cyber latter this week , so If you can send me the list o numbers and important inormation by tom. It will be great.. thanks mom …. But  I have a scripture that I would like to share with you all…
( ..y ocurrio que los alento con sus palabras diciendo , Hermanos mios ,sed de buen animo ,y vayamos a buscar los rebanos ,y los recogeremos y los traeremos otra vez al abrevadero y asi preservaremos los rebaños del rey y no os matara… Y sucedo que salieron a buscar los rebaños , y siguieron a Ammon y corrieron con mucha ligereza y atajaron los rebaños del rey y los juntaron en el abrevadero otra vez… Alma 17: 31-32)  i love this scripture cuz it makes you o good cheer .  cuz it shows you that you can be of good cheer in point of are lifes even when we have death in front of us. It also tells us that we all need to work together in the lords holy work, from the members to the missionaries we are all in the lords work to ind the lords sheep ( rey ) he knows who they are we just got to listin to the voice o the lord on which children are ready to hear the gospel of the lord.. so its just my little thought for you all …. 

But I know that tthis my lords holy work of which I am in , and that he does love us, that he is helping us in our daliy lifes , for he is there he knows all of  us he did suffer for each one of us …

 The weather is starting to get cold now its starting to drop in the temp. I don’t know how strong this winter is going to be but we will see in the futur. The  wether does not botter me at all cuz I know that the lord will be there to help me through the thick and thin o the mission , for he does give us the protection of which we need , so I do give my trust to my lord in his great work. 

 Family be str5ong let your selfs trust in our god as Ammon does in the scripture above. For the lord will give us the guidence o which we need , through out our life , he wants us to do his will , so lets not hold it back , let us just progress it forward so that this gospel can go into places we yet cant go, so be strong have faith, give your selfs to prayer and fasting , and let the lords spirit fill are souls day to day , for each member of this chruch is a missionary , and a servent of the lord Let us send forth his work to and through the latter days , and be the saints of  who the book of mormon prophets saw in the visions…

 I lover you all my parents and brothers and sister, let us be strong and be a family of god 

I love you all to the depths of my soul,

Serving the lord
