Encounter With The Police

Family, 

 It great to hear from you all, this week , i am glad to hear that all of you enjoyed the photos i sent last week. Well this week went pretty good but it also had its up s and downs like any other week. Its crazy how the misión Works  we have great days then we have off days were it feels like nothing went right , but what can you say as long as we can look back each day and say you served the lord with all your Herat, might ,mind and stringht. 

Well family your  not going to relieve what happen to me this week. Its a pretty crazy mission story that every one has.. this past Friday my comp and i went to the chruch to do early morning work outs. So we were running at the back field of the chruch about mid way through are workout , when we heard a loud shout Saying PUT YOUR SELFS ON THE FLOOR…. I looked over and it was the cops telling us to throw are selfs on the floor…  it turns out that one of the niehbors of the chruch called the cops saying that they saw two kids jump the fence to the chruch, and that they were robbing. So the cops thought that we were robbers at the chruch. So the cops searched us , saw that we were not armed , then they asked me what was in my hand , then i told them that it was the keys to the chruch , and to are apartment. They stared to ask us who we were , what we were doing , and why we were there? So we basicly gave them a whole lesson, that we are missionaries for the chruch.. From there they asked us to show us that the key was to the chruch , so we showed them. They took down a couple of dats or info, of us and asked to report to the cop station at 9:30 latter the same moring… to make the story short, we showed up to the station , with are zone leaders and they le tus go free of charge.. lol..

What a story right lol , but the whole time the lord had are back , so it went all well, no need to worry. But this week i do have a scripture for you all…. “ y ocurrio que Jesús los bendijo mientras le dirigian sus oraciones ; y la  sonrisa de su faz fue sobre ellos , y los ilumino la luz de su semblante; y he aquí ,estaban tan blancos como el semblante y como los vestidos de Jesús; y he aquí , su blancura excedia a todo blancura, si, no podia haber sobre la tierra cosa tan blanca como blancura.” I read the scripture this moring and i really hit me i thought i world share it with the family.. so every one could ponder it in there own way its in 3 Nephi 19: 25  let us all become white as the cloths of Jesús christ throug are prayers. For it is one of the simplets thing we can offer to the lord.  Well family i truly love you all , i know you all worry about me but i tell you there is no need for the lord is holding me in his mighty hand of which he has.  I know that the lord has blessings ready fro each one of us , and he is ready to give them to us , we just need to ask for them . 

Family i love you all i know that this is the chruch of the lord and that the book of mormon is the Word of our lord… keep remembering our God  and his Hill, in are hearts…

Love you deeply

Serving the Lord
