WOW what a tight Week.

Well, I had a great week this week. We worked our but off and we got great blessings. We just put a baptismal date with a familiy week met a couple of weeks ago. They are to be married and baptized in a couple weeks. Them and there 2 kids came to church and loved it. They were laughing, smiling and had a great time. They are eating up the gospel. They have changed so much. Last week she mised church because she drank a bunch of beer. BUt she completely changed everything this last week. Their names are Yabell and Carlos. During church they told us that they wanted to be married and baptized. We talked to them last night and are now in the process of finding all the papers they need.  Their is a member family that lives on the next street. They are a really spiritual and awesome familiy. The husband works in the temple and the wife is very well educated in the church. They have great tesimonies. They have taking in the family of Carlos and Yabell. They always go over to each others house and talk about the gospel. They watched The Testaments the movie together and it went great. THat friendship has made all the differance.  Yabell said she had a revelation as someone in her dream said she had come to the knowledge she was waiting for. They are awesome. We also had 8 people in church too. It was full of investigators. The ward here really works and friendships the investigators. We do have a couple families who can´t get married due to papers and spouse issues. We also had the Temple on Friday. It was a great experiance. I always learn a ton from it. Afterwards we went to Wendy´s , to eat. It was really good. I have only eaten twice in Wendy´s. It is actually getting cold in the mornings now, because it is also really windy. It really isn´t to hot anymore during the days. I havent noticed it. BUt it is nice to have a break from the really hot weather. I also learned a couple phrases from a Haitian family in French. I want ot learn to say a couple of things to them. I really haven´t noticed that Thanksgiving is coming up. They really dont do anything here. But they are starting to play some Christmas music is Spanish. I will miss Mom´s pies though. Im really Jealous. We have been invited to dine with the President though in a resturant for Thanksgiving. I hope everyone can have a great Thanksgiving and a safe one too. Well it was a fun week and I hope next week can get a little better.

 

I love you all and am grateful for your letters.

Hey Everyone, Hey everyone. I have been having a great week this week. I recieved a new companion. HIs name is Elder Folsom. We are from the same group. IN the house we have some good cooks. We eat really good. We eat lots of cool recipies with meats and flour and pastries. I dont know why Im not getting fat though. It must be all the walking. I do exercise very good in the moring. Im sprouting a pretty nice body. ahhaha. Well back to the work. We have been working pretty good so far. I can actually feel the spirit a bunch now. It really makes a differance when a person wants to work. We have found tons of new families. I have been prayed a bunch in the last couple of days to find so cool families. Everytime I pray we find someone new. It is such a miracle. We find them in the weirdest of places and at the weirdest times. We are really going to find sucess here. We are always getting new peopole and getting rid of the people who arent progressing. It is such a pleasure to be serving the Lord with this calling. I know Im making a big differance. I love looking at the work in an eternal perspective. It also hurts because many people choose to accept the message. But that is just how it is. We are only the messanges and we are looking for the ones who are prepared. I love all of you much and miss ya. I hope you can have a great week.

Transfers!!!!

Hey!!!! Well I will be staying here in Hato Nuevo for another Transfer. That means that Elder Vasquez will be going to San Cristobal. I will recieve Elder Folsom. He is from my same group. I havent talked much with him because we have never really been close to each other in the mission. I spent much time in the field and he spent much in the Capital. Im excited to keep up the great work here in Hato Nuevo. We have been preparing many people for baptism and this transfer we will see our fruits. We had 6 investigators in church this sunday. It was kind of a disappointment becasue many did not come. It really is hard to not have people come to church but I am definently very grateful for the investigators that came to church. One thing I love about the mission are the member families. They make a huge differance. I feel so much love. I´m so grateful for their help and for their sweet spirits. The work is so Important. I am so happy to be a missionary. I have had so many great experiances here that will always help me to preach the gospel with everyone. I feel really bad that I didnt preach the gospel as a kid and a teenager. I could have been such a help and light to others. I know that when Im home I will try to prepare many souls so that they can be happy. As I understand the world is rapidly changing adn people are now starting to make choices. The last battle wont just be physically against the wicked but spiritually also. The choices we make now will have forever consecuences. We need to be examples of rightousness in this world. It just takes simple actions and decisions to make huge things come to pass. I have loved to learn life and to live the best we can. We are only here one time we need to enjoy it. Life is so precious but so important. IM so thankful for the creation and for my opportunity to live a life in mortality. I give super grate thanks to my beloved parents, who permited that I came to this Earth. But that wasnt only it, they raised me great adn put me in the road that ends to the eternal life. I have learned so much about Eternal Life and the blessings we can recive. It all starts with us developing chrst-like attributes and making the right decisions. I love you all so much. I hope that you all can have a great week. I look forward to your emails always. I love you

HEY!!!!!

Hey Everyone, Im doing just fine here in Hato Nuevo. We just had a huge week off work. We litterally worked our butts off. ahahah. We are also working super hard to marry 3 families. It is super hard!!!!!!  We are also getting much help from the members and they are working very hard. It is such a blessing to have a ward that works in missionary work. It makes life a whole ton better. My companion and I are doing a little better but Im thinking he is moving this transfer. Im trying my hardest to help the situation and not to make it worse. I just show love and continue to serve him. I really have a fun house. Im with Elder Turner and his trainiee. When I started the mission elder Turner was in the house with me. HE started in Feb and left the area after my first transfer. So, we have lots of fun and love to talk about Idaho. He is from Payette. I love this work so much. I just finished Jesus the Christ and ate it up. It is one of the Best books I have read. It really helped me see the importance of the life of Jesus Christ. I really have gained such a strong testimony of the existence of God the Father and of his Son Jesus Christ. They are awesome. I know the Holy Ghost is real becasue I depend on him everyday. I love the scriptures. The other day I was reading in Alma 26. It talks perfectly about missionary work. I learned that after trials and pain, we will recive blessings and sucess. I love you all and cant wait to tell you transfers next week.
