Si Se Vale la Pena

Family,

Its so good to hear from you I must truly say. I felt really good to hear from you all this week I dont know why but it did. I must tell you this week was really good for us we have a investigator who we have been preparing for his baptism, and another one in the district, from the other set of elders in Villa Diego. So in this coming week we have two baptism coming up, I am really excited in every way for the district and for my own personal self as well. I must say it sounds like you all were quite busy this week but when are you all not busy, I dont think I would like parents who sit still.. But I must have to agree with dad on preparing the food, if it does bring more people to church it is well worth it… In Spanish there is a frase for that "si se vale la pena"… I think in that why it totally does.. I must say any church activity is a huge weapon for the missionaries, but it just hurts the missionaries if a ward does not do activities. It just stops the work, in a way… the best advice I can give you all coming from the missionary field is try to have the most activities that you can within the week and the month.. it is a huge tool for the work of the Lord…I must say that is where I wish the barrio I am in could be doing better in. Cause it would help us out a lot , so that is the best advise I could give you all as Readers of this letter in El paso.

It sounds like you all had a good Halloween , which is really cool, we wanted to buy some watermelon ,but when we went to go buy they ran out so it was pretty sad, so we just stayed working in the Lords way….Its so crazy that we got a new dog in the house, its crazy and exciting at the same time… I hope to see him when I get home . I can have a new pal when I get there,( wow Jessup dont get trunky now still long ways a way.. ) To tell you the truth the transfer has flown buy at a very unreal Speed that is just way to Fast. To tell you the truth it's kinda scared to see how Fast the next part of my mission goes… i know I have to work hard and just enjoy it cuz it really is the Only time in my life that i will have such a honor to serve the Lord in the way i am doing..

I WANT TO TALK A LIL ABOUT THE BAPTISM,

Ahora pues , a causa del convenio que habeis hecho ,sereis llamados progenie de cristo, hijos e hijas de el porque he aquí , hoy el os ha engendrado espiritualmente , pues decis que vuestros corazones han cambiado por medio de la fe en su nombre, por tanto habeis nacido de el y habeis llegado a ser sus hijos y sus hijas….. Mosiah 5: 7

I know that we all can remember that great and wonderful day of our baptism, on how wonderful it was… and tell you all that we can still feel that great and wonderful joy of the lord each and every week as we partake of the santa cena…i know this is the way the Lord wants us to remember him each and every day as we go through our life..I thank you all, mom go ahead and thank Lope for me , i really appreciate it and I thank her for the donation to my great mission..

I thank all of my family for everything even down to the love of which you all show me as well …. Next week I will be writing on Tuesday cuz it will be transfers, so I'll tell you all if i am leaving or not, I'll have the news by then.. i love you all thank you again..

I know this is the church of the lord and that he loves us , that he gave us the great book of mormon to help us out in are lives for this very time in need… i love this very work and thank you again… tell next P,DAY FAMILY THANK YOU

The Little One
