Hey family,
Hey how are you all doing this week? Everything down here in Argentina is going good we have some new investigators that have a lot o potetional in them so we are really excited in this great work ,to help souls come unto their god. Thanks mom or the money it really came in hand to get two of my shoes resouled cuz man did they need it . so its really nice to be walking with new shoes again. As are as the weather down here its been really rainy, and its starting to cool down , so we will see how the week to come will be. The new dog really cute good job picking her out dad. This past week went really good we were busy just running around to citas and trying to teach everyone. Also a great spiritual week as well , this past week we had Zone conference and was it a great conerence its are presidents second to last one he is going home next month, but the talk that was the best was his talk on the atonemet of Christ , it was really powerful, and man can you feel the spirit o the lord that day. It was agreat spiritual feast I might say lol
As fare as things are with me and my comp, we are doing great.. he toke on a task , a big one that the president asked him to do, and of course me being his comp, toke it on as well. So the task is this , he ha one month left in the mission so the president gave him this to read the whole Book o Mormon before the end o the transfer and it ends the 25 of May, also to read in Spanish as well.. I am loving this task. So the both o us have to read about 20 pages a day to meet are goal. I must say or being a person who did not like to read anything before the mission , some thing changed me inside , cuz now I hate putting books down to stop, and its even harder when it’s the book of Mormon. So the both of us have that going for us as well. The lord did do something to me I am not going to lie about it, and I thank him everyday for it..
Here is what I think on the matter.. For behold thus saith the lord God : I will give unto the children of man line upon line , precept upon precept , here a little there a little ; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts and lend a ear to my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom…. 2 Nephi 28 : 30
For my family have come across a change in my life and it all started by opening the cover of the book of mormon this book has a power that only comes from the heavens above , the spirit you feel as we read this book , is of the joy of the lord our god Jesus Christ. You can take out so much from every verse in the book of mormon and put your name in it instead of Nephi, Moroni , Alma,Helaman , Jacob. See what I mean there is a reson why this book is placed on this earth , in this time , we are the children of god and we are the saints that the prophets of the book of mormon talked about and saw in their visions. Why not live to what the lord wants us to be the latter day saints of the church of Jesus Christ, become the servents of the Lord, for it does not matter of the age which we are ,cuz we were all saved for this very time in the earth, to help others come unto our god. Let us give high pries to our god for revealing this scripture in these Latter Days… Thank you God As the God of Alma . For he is the same today , tomarrow , and forever. I share this with you my family I love you all and I love the work o which I am doing in this time. Be strong keep going and always remember your Lord, our God..

This Work is the Work of the Lord
Family,
How are you all doing , i am doing great lol. Well the new comp. is E.Tatum and this is last transfer for his whole mission, there is a saying in the mission field saying that I am going to kill a elder cuz I have him for the last transfer. But we have a lot of hopes for this transfer he wants to go out strong. And we have a lot of potenional in this area that’s for sure I must say, in our area we just had a choque de furzea where all the elders in the zone go to one area and work in it for the night, and we found a lot of great people.. So the work looks really promising here in general lopez .
But the weather was a bit cold all week then at the end of the week it started to heat up again , like argentina cant make up its mind lol. But I did hear that this country has rough winters so will see what happens, in the next coming week. Thank you mom for the money its going to help me out in this nert coming week. So thanks you again mom. As far as what you told me about dad doing to the ranch that sounds like its going to be a great blessing to thoses poor cows in the ranch. But iam glad to see everything is going good with the family and babes. I am glad to see that they all have great healthand are going strong. Sorry for any erros in this e mail this key board is not all that great.
My family this work is the work of the lord and I can feel the lords hand in my life everyday of my life. I know that the lord is looking out over all of us as a family. Mom I loved the temple story, cuz I know that is something I plan on doing with my family, to be selled. That is such a true blessing of the lord that we have in our days. To go with our wife and be selled for the eternities and to life with our father in heaven. Is is something I have planned for my future lol. That’s so long away I shall focus on one thing at a time my mission.
Thank you mom for the advice it was really needed , that past few days I been finding my self thinking negative, so it was really needed, I don’t know what is going on but I am trying my hardest to keep thooses thoughts out of my head. But I am slowly fighting it. But all in all I have been praying to the lord to garnish my thouhts . And I know he is helping me day by day with it.
Family I love you all with all my heart and all my soul. I pray for each one of yo to have the health and spirit with you all to guide you in work. I know he is there with you all as he is for me don’t you all ever forget of his great love of which he has for all of us as one big family. My family you are always in my prayers as well as your children, please keep them stronger then I and raise them as the strippling warriors of our day let them trust in their god as soon as they start to walk let them be strong in the chruch and in the gospel I begg of this for you to do my family..
I am always here or you if there is anything you all need don’t be shy to ask of me I am here to serve all that need help of the lord…

Six Month Mark
Family,
How are you all its been a week already the time flys by so fast I must say I already hit the 6 month mark, I feel old in the mission now I must say. But it is time for the transfers and my comp is leaving me I was hopeing we would stay together another transfer, but he was bound to go he already had 6 ½ months in this area so it was a lot of time. And my new comp is Elder Tatum He is from Vegas is all I really know and this is his last trasnfer as a missionary so I am his last comp…. how crazy… But elder Erazo is going to Rafaela its still in Santa Fe . so I will still be able to see him at zone conference..
But this week was really good even though it few by, as far as are recent baptisms they all got confered a member of the Chruch of Jesus Christ of the latter Day Saints this past Sunday so that went really well. They all want to keep learning about the chruch so its really exciting to see there drive to learn more. As far as the weather here its starting to cool down to about 60-68 degrees which is about 20 – 26 degrees in celciuos . Also we are starting to put on the suit coats as we go out and work during the day. In reality its fine with me I always tened to like the cold more then heat, but I hearderd it gets really cold down here. My spritual leave is really high in the work , I feel good in what I am dong may spanish is coming along pretty good I believe , I truly do love this great and holy work it’s a true blessing to be in the most holy work of all the works , and in such a time as now with everything going on in the world today, I truly do believe the Lord waited with me for this time in which he needs me in his work as I need him in the work. I guess you can say we both need each other in this work, in other words we got each others backs lol… It does truly fel great that I don’t have to worry about any thing in life, but the gospel of Jesus Christ. What a great honor I have to preach this great and wonderful gospel that I always have takin for granted in the past, but then I think comes a point in every buddys life when they realize how great the gospel is …
But Mom and dad I have a quick question for you all.What was the temple of which you all got married? I want to say St. Geroge but I am not sure…. And the secound question is what was the date of which you all got married? Cuz I need to know for some thing lol love you all . Also mom I kinda runing low on some money, so please send what you want but any thing will truly help me out…. Please..
As far as I have been I love the mission life and I look forward everyday with a new smile in a postive atitude to help some one in need of this gospel. For after all it is what I have been called to do for this time in my life y not do it in the right atitude towards it. Thanks mom for help me be so up beat in the past it is reaally helping me out right now in this work. I look forward to this next transfer the lord wants me with this new elder for a reason , and I have heard a lot of good things about him from all the elders… My family thank you for always being there for me day by day through thick and thin , I truly do love in ways I cant write for all the acts of greatness which each one of you all have done in my life, I will always be in dedt to you all as my family .. I am always here for you all don’t ever forget I will start putting the ranch in my prayers that it maybe blessed with the the water from the heavens and that the animals my be that of good health. M y family if there is anything else of which you all may need of me let me know I am here to help all … who better not to help then my family of my same blood.. I love you all with all my heart always remember so..
And always remember no matter were we are in the world of which god created for us we are of the same family and of the same religion and he our God is always with us and we can talk to or lord through the power of prayer he is ALWAYS LISTING to us in our lifes, let us talk to him. Don’t let a day go by with out saying your prayers for it is through this simple thing that we all received our answer over the book of mormon and of this gospel let us not forget the feeling of which we had that very day, the one that pireced are very heart mind and soul, with the love that our lord has for each one of us as his children…My family I Know that this the gospel of our Lord Our God the same God as Jacob, Nephi, Alma , and as President Hinckley all prophets of the Lord , I know that Jesus is the Christ, and that he lives and that he loves us and wants the best for us…in the name of the sacred name Of Jesus Christ Amen

Hello from Santa Fe
Dear Family,
How are you all ? I am doing great this week. It went by really fast. This week I will be hitting my 6-mouth mark already 1/4 of the mission, it seems the more time you have in the mission the faster it goes. We did get to hear conference, we got to hear all of it , its great to hear the new prophet of the church. It was really great. We had a total of 12 of our investigators come to the conference and they seemed to really enjoy it , they did fell the spirit you could tell that they did. As fare as me and my comp its going really good , its kinda of crazy cuz we are already hitting the last week of are transfer this week, were does the time go...? Oh mom before I forget I received your Easter package that you sent me this week ... Thanks MOM Love you... The work is great the people that we have found this week have a lot of potential , so hopefully we should be getting all these people to be progressing this week.. but we still have a lot of work, the weeks for us just get full of work its crazy , I feel a small part of what dad feels every week, how does he do it?? But what helped us a lot this week was General Conference. One thing that I discovered this week was the burning testimony which I had as I was writing in my journal last night, the Lord just made it click for me last night as I was writing ,it was a great moment for me to truly understand this work. This gospel is the true church , I know I am doing the thing of which the Lord wants me to do in my life, I have felt His love and joy in my soul and have felt His love for his children in these past days. I just want to truly become what the Lord wants me to become during this time in my life so I can truly become a tool in His hands... And I know if I keep doing what He ask of me my time will come.. One thing I really have gotten into the past few weeks that I have been here has been cooking , me and my district leader Elder Kebler just keep cooking food lol, its funny to see us..Mom I have a favor of you.. Please... Its to find a cook book for me. The one elder Kebler has is great its called ..Better Home and Gardens New Cook Book... its a great cook book, but in reality any cook book will do for me lol ... Family I can't tell you how much I love you all , you all are a bunch of great people , all doing the will of the Lord I can tell you all that you all now have new families of your own, how great the ability to say that I have a son of the Lord in my hands , I truly look forward to that day to where I can hold my own son some day , keep strong my family raise them in the right don't let Satan come close to them treasure these moments while you have them cuz sooner than you know it they will be writing you as I am doing right now.. My family let the gospel and the spirit of the Lord fill your house , let it dwell with you day by day, teach the gospel don't keep them from this great gospel take them to church even on days you don't feel strong enough for it , just remember that you will help one of the children of the Lord grow as you go .. just do it for there good. Let them become stronger in the church stronger then us in the church, let the Book of Mormon fill there life. Let them know, my family, that this book was saved for the last days, these days! Don't hide it from them ... my family I know this is kinda of strong but something told me to say it from with in. This is my one desire for you all back at home ... and don't worry I know this can go for me as a missionary as well. Let us help the children of the Lord together....I love you all to the depths of my soul be strong...
