Some Firsts

Family,

Well i am really shocked to say cuz i sent you all a letter last week , and i even looked and it said it sent. So i am really stunned about that, cuz last week i didi not hear from you all at home i did not get a letter , so something is up… i dont know what but there is something?

Well this week went really good i must say , this week we had Zone Conference , and we had the Elder Zivic from the area presentencia talk to us and his wife, WOOOOOW i must say it was Amazing it was unreal. .. So that really stared to pump us up again for the holy Work of the Lord. I must say we have one investigator who is really good and he is Amazing, he is fighting to quite smoking , and drinking , but he is programed to be baptised this week , but if he falls short he will come into the water on the 08 of November. But i must say he really is a great person who deep in side of him he is trying to change , he is tired of doing bad things and just wants to be in the lords path. .. Also this week was another first for me , in two ways 1. i had my very frist intervista baptismal, 2. i had to direct my very first baptism. So i must say i was scared for thoses things but i felt the overwhelming peace of the spirit take it over, it was one of those experiences you just dont forget.

This week you dont need to worry for transfers , cuz they are on the 11-12 of the next month , which is not to fare i must say. I must say the time is truly flying by, i have no idea if its just cuz i moved up , or if it really is going by super fast. But i must say you come to realize a lot of f the staff that you have learned in the mission, and its truly Amazing, it just seems like yesterday i reported into the MTC… Tell that one kid to star Redding his Preach my Gospel, that book will truly help him start getting in the mind set of he missionary.. tell him to learn to love ove Th. e Book Of Mormon , as well and to start building his testimony Strong on that. Two things that i would tell anyone to start doing would be those 2….

Family i must say i am sorry for all the pain that i ever did cause anyone of you all it was all not for a purpose, i was just young and Dumb, i thought i had know everything in life but , in all truth i knew nothing.. its just something i felt i needed to ay to you all ..

So family i am sorry you all did not get the letter of last week , but i really hope you all get this one this week. I really do…..

I wish I could personally thank you all in person , for the great support that you all give me, but i guess i am going to have to wait tell the end of my mission for that. So tell then i will keep writing thank-you each and every week. I truly love you all … and this great restored gospel of which we all share in common , for this is the gospel of Jesus Christ, i know that he and his father did appear to Joseph Smith , to answer his simple question, i know for this simple question of a young boy , we have this gospel , OOOO HOW THANKFUL AM I THAT JOSEPH Smith , showed his faith to the lord that one great and holy day…. Amen … i love you all … tell next week.

Fruits of our Labor

Family,

Hello family how is everything going, I am glad to her that you had a good week. It sounded a lil bit stressful,which I am really sorry. , but I know that the Lord is with us and He will help the family out in these times. To tell you the truth this week was a week we got to see the fruits of our labor in the Lord's work, on my mission. This week we had a baptism, a 22 year old named Angel Coitiñho who I truly must say was really excited about his baptism. So it was a great week I must say. We had a baptism and the new convert was really excited about his baptism! Thanks mom for putting money in my account , its really going to help me out. But still everything is still going good for my comp. and I. We are really both stoked to do this great latter day work for the Lord. I truly have grown so much in this little time that I have been a district leader, the Lord is just blessing me with strength and knowledge I have be learning so much each and every day of the mission . I must say that it truly feels like I have been born again in the mission. The Lord has blessed me as a leader. It is a true blessing to be serving the Lord in this great work. I am really going to keep you all in my prayers in these next couple of days. I know that life is going in a rough manner, but I know that the Lord is always willing to bless us as long as we are following the commandments that He has given to us. So keep strong in these times of hardship. For the Lord will help us out. In the mission when I first heard that I was going up in the mission field I was extremely scared, but I said a prayer to the Lord and thanked Him , and I knew that He wants me in this spot, and that He is going to help me every step of the way. So family I am sure of one thing, I think all of us have learned as a family that the Lord will bless us as a family together. For the Lord does give us families to help us grow and become stronger , from our weakness He forces us to become strong in these times. So I know that we are all here to have this great honor and thank you for being my beloved family. So keep being the examples for me in my life I have learned so much from all of you in these days and in my days at home. I truly love all of you in every manner. I truly thank the Lord from my knees to have you all as my beloved family.Family I thank you for all your support, and examples. I love you all , and if there is anything of which you all need don’t ever be to shy to ask me. I am always more then willing to help you all out in what ever manner you all see fit. THANK YOU. Lol Don’t ever worry about me in this work , for I am with the Lord I do recive his great protection in these great days. He does grant me His kindness ,His love ,His spirit, and His guidnece . For He helps me in every way I know, it truly is the greatest blessing to be in this great work of His. So family we have a new starting point right now in this area. We are having to start looking for new people each and everyday , but I do tell you one thing is that we have recived some blessings and it is always a great time to go and teach them. The lord has given us some people to teach, in this coming week i'll tell you how it goes, but as for now I am really short on time. So i'll be ending it here… thank you for everything, I love you all , may the Lord be with you all day to day…. I ll talk to you next p- day…

New Companion

Family ,

Its so glad to hear that every one is doing good in life. It really sounds like everyone has been going through rough times. But we must always remember that the Lord is looking at our progress as we go day by day in are lives. The mission I must say truly does know how to change ones will and desires in their heart. My new companion Elder Baxter is a really great guy , he has a lot of energy to do this great work of the Lord. He is the frist one to serve of his family setting the example for his brother and sisters. He comes from Rafala up close to Santa Fe, his home town is Alpine Utah. My very frist companion was also from Utah. Lol As far as how am I doing? You all asked I am doing really great , I got some good news for you all………I lived through my frist week as district leader..lol But I must say I believe this is where I am going to start to really lose my self in the service of the Lord I already see it happing to me. Just lil day by day. Ill tell you that there are a total of four elders in the district , and two Hermanas, I'll be sending photos of them in the next coming week after my frist district meating. Lol

The Conference I got to see the whole thing. For us we had one investigador that stayed with us through 4 of the sessions so it was a true blessing, he is programmed for the end of this week to get baptised. So we are really excited. My comp. Saw the whole Conferance in english , and I saw all in Spanish , and to tell you the truth I understood most of the whole conference. It was a personal goal that I wanted to do, after all I am in a Spanish speaking mission , I think I should watch it in Spanish. It was not to bad in another language as I thought it would be. We had to travel to are stake center to see it which is a lil further into Rosario. But all in all it was really good I truly did enjoy the conference I hope you all did as well.Its really good to hear how fast that Dayrl found a job thats really exciting. I am glad to see the family is doing really good, From the growing up of the babies to there first tackles, all that good stuff. For I know that the Lord is truly lookng over my family as I serve Him in his great work. Thank you all for the support that you all give me each and every day. Mom I would like for you to say hello for me to Phillp if you see him , and ask him what is he up to , tell him thank you for saying that about me, and the same to him. I am glad to have the family of which I have in my life. I miss you all from here in Argentina, I pray for you each and every day. The comp. Is fine I really think we are going to have a lot of great succes in this area of Galvez , we both know what we need to do and I am gong to try and do everything to help out in the language and in the mission. For he has a total of six months in the mission, just half of my time in the mission. But a really great kid I must say , I am going to try and help him in any way I can. I know this is where the Lord wants me in my mission and the poistion is that of district Leader, I know I will have tuff times and times the life could not be more perfect. But I know that all my success I must return in thanks to my Lord for He has helped me in my life through thick and thin. For He will never leave us a alone in his work and his will , let us just remember to put him first in our lives and remember His great Atonement for us and all of man. I love you all family, I thank you you with hugs and kisses , and truly owe you all my greatest love of my soul.I THANK YOU ALL IN EVERY WAY… Mom I am running a lil low on money cuz , I was running on very low money so if you can send me a lil somethin I will really enjoy it. Also were you able to find out anything about my debt card. On what we need to do .. so that i can get a new one?

Thats all family I am running low on the time, but I am going to tell you one last thank you and one last I love you all , thankyou from all the help of which you have givin me from the very start of my mission and life..
