It's Only After a Trial of Faith We Receive Our Testimony

Family,

Its good to hear from you I must say. This week we had a pretty good week . We truly have found some golden people in the Lords land. We have come across 3 new people there names are Ariel , who is 20 years old and his brother Angel 22 years old. Then we CAME across a reference of a member named Angelica, who is about 40 years old. They all went to church yesterday and they all liked it. They all have a date for baptism on the 13 of September, so we are really excited for that here in this area, and in this time.. I have to say I have truly seen the Lords hand in my life each and everyday as we go out and work in this holy work of His. I know that the Lord is here to bless us as we are more and more obedient to his commandments. Like you said mom that they are here to Protect us and guide us in our lives. I am really sorry to hear about the horse that passed away, it s really a sad thing to hear. But I know dad that you are going to take care of the baby horse, and that this is a trail of faith, like Ether 12: 6 says that its only after a trial of faith we'll receive our testimony.

So I must say that we are pretty excited for the investigators that we have here in Galvez. The work is going good we keep finding more and more people each day. Its really good to hear that there was a baptism in the ward, and especially that the friend baptised him. That's a missionaries dream come true . to see a member do the baptism . For our new mission president has put a lot of focus on how we need to start working more with the members. And we have started and it seems to be truly working I must say. So there is some more news of how the mission is going for me.

Its really good to hear that Austin got his mission call for Spanish speaking, tell him he is going to love this time in his life, that it truly does change one's life in many, many ways. Its a great two years and that it goes by really fast. So to work hard and enjoy the mission. Tell him he is just a year behind me cuz I went in the 10 of October.

Thanks mom for the Money , I really needed it . thanks thanks lol . I am also going to be sending some more photos to day as well.. so thanks again. Well I hope everything is going well for you all . I truly thank you as my family for everything of which you have done for me in my life and in this time of the mission. . I love you all so dearly, I pray for each one of you as the weeks turn into months then the months into years. I love you all. And I ask again if there is anything of which you all need please just ask of me and I will be more than willing do what I can for you all…

So I love you all family and don't worry about me I am in the Lords hands , and keep strong , keep the faith of which we have let us grow it that even more…tell next P dAY

Serving the Lord.

Being Silly

Let Us Humble Ourselves

Family,
Hey how are you all doing? Well this week went pretty good i must say, but the guy we had programed for the week end he fell, he did not make it to his date cuz he moved in to another area , and he is not in our hans anymore so that was a bust this week. So we still worked hard this week and found some new people, we found some really good people. This week was also transfers , and the news is that me and my comp E.Arro are going to be staying together another transfer, so we are pretty excited for that i must say, its really the big news of the day. So we are pretty happy with that i must say.  So as for i am doing pretty well i really enjoyed the scripture and the story mom it really gets you to think that god has a purpose for everything he does. Even though we have no clue why we are going through that trial in are life , the lord does and he looking at us and seeing how we handle the that was a really good story. I must say as i read the bible i am learning more of the stories, but yet also i know that i am still not truly understanding the text , or the true meaning, but i must say a simple prayer of faith is true all we really need to do. I finished the book of Exodus and the one thing that just surprised me was the hard heartedness of the Pharaoh of Egypt, as he did not see that it was the true hand of god , and that he wanted to let and have his children free of bondage. I truly must say that that can be taken into are life today as we see the Lords hand in are life ,but even though we see it we still know we are going to fall again in to the darkness of sin, but here is where we can make or break are selfs, by being hard hearted or by being humble unto the Lord. So let us not be like the harden king let us be as Moses and humble are selfs to the lord in all the days of are life. For truly that is the way to live are live in the manner of the teachings of are Lord Jesus Christ. That this week was my spiritual thought. As i compared the king to us ( human kind) and Moses unto the (lord).
So let us rejoice in the ways of the lord . for ever and always for this is are true joy in life let us shine are light of christ for all to see in times of light in times of darkness, let us help this world become full of joy one person at a time. At on point or another the world will hear are teachings either through missionaries or through members of the church , let us take forth this great message. For this is the true joy in life i must truly say helping people come unto the ways of are lord.

Family i love you all i know that i am in the great work of the lord that he is helping me day by day to carry forth his work unto the people of this country. Family i love you all to the bottom of my heart, i know that each one of you are trying to do the best to carry forth this great word and living the teaching of our great Lord . Family i love you all with out a doubt in my soul, for i know the lord wants me in the area of Galvez to carry forth his work , i thank you all for your prayers and your love , daily i do think of you all and pray for you through out my day as well, there is not a day that goes by that something i see reminds of home in some way.

I thank you for everything fam. Mom i am running short on money so if you could please send some it will be a great help. Also family thank you all for always being there for me through thick and thin. I love you all a lil later ill be sending photos , so don't worry to much lol love you all..

Family ,

Everything went pretty good this week. We have a great investigator his name is Raul, h

e came to church 2 times in a row solo, he is truly of gold I must say. He

 has a date for baptism this week, so we are pretty excited. There is a lot

 of blessin

gs of which we are receiving i must say in this work. This week we had zone conference and it went so well i must say. We talked a lot about the importance of working with the members. It went really well, but there was a huge down fall, after cuz my comp got really sick after wards, the food did not do him any good. But he was in the bed for 3 days but right now he is doing a lot better. So that was really the bad news of the week i must say. There was a lot of time in the pinch, this week so it was kinda a bust i must say. He type of food

 poisoning or some thing.

But i must say the week went by really fast. There was a

 lot of stuff going on lol. For now i have started to read the bible again, but now i am also taking notes as i read the chapters so its a better way to study for me i must say

.

 Cuiz the other day i realized how i really dont know the stories in the bible all to well, so i am going to become familiar with then. Lo

l i have come to realize this week that i lack a lot of knowledge , but i realized 

that i need to do my part as well i cant just leave it up to the lord to help me , when i dont study it just does not work out right... lol. I realized that if we truly want to come to understand something , we must truly 

ask of god with all are faith , as in James 1: 5 ask and we shall receive if it is of rightousnous . the lord does truly bless us in are daily

 lives in so many different ways he just wants to give it all to us its just we need to ask of it in our prayers. The lord is truly here for us in are daily lives let us just humble are selfs and ask of him day by day.

My family i love you all , for i am truly enjoying this wo

rk i must truly say. I find more and more about me each and everyday, thanks to the lord. Mom there is something i need to tell you about my personal card it expires 02/09 in feb, so i just want to tell to start asking how i can get a new card so at lest you know and its not last min, i am giving you tons of time lol .. i learned my lesson from my school projects. I am also very sad to here

 about the new puppy, i pretty bummed that i never got to met her. But i know the lord has a plan for his animals just as much as us , 

we will see her again , and i will see my great dog Floyd

 once again, but in

 the lords time not ares . for that is one thing in this life that the lords time is in this earth, that he has th

e plan for us and he knows when are time is done on earth. Mom thank you for sending me the money i will think of something to get. Thank you all and always remember that if you ever need anything i am here for you all , i am here to help you all out in what ever it is that you need. I love you all from the depths of my heart, and my soul. Than
