I love the mission field. It has been such a blessing to me to be able to serve the Lord. I know that God exsits. HE loves us so much. I think that many of us forget that there really is a God and that we have a Savior. They have done so much for us. I know that this is the work of the Lord and that Jesus Christ is the head of the church. I know that the First Presidency and the 12 apostles are in perfect unity with the will of God. They know so much. All the prophets have since Adam. I am so thankful to have so much sacred scripture. We are so blessed to have so many testimonies that God is real and that he cares about us. I have gain such a great love for the Prophet Jospeh Smith and his teachings. He knew so much. I too would like to become very knowledgeable in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and also learn to become more and more Obedient. I pray every night that I may become a better instrument in the hands of the Lord. I know that as I study and reflect diligently I will recive revelation and knowledge that will help others.
I was so glad to be able to talk to every one of my siblings. Even though it may have been but moments, I know that you love me and that I share the same feelings with you. I hope I anwsered all of you questions about whats going on in the mission here. So much is happening, it is so hard to put into words. The work is super excellente here. I know that the Lord is blessing us greatly. We have 10 investigaotrs with baptismal dates for the 10th of January. I´m so happy that they have come to know the church. I know that they will help the church and be great strong members one day. It is very cool because I can see people in the future and being great members. With some investigators I cant say the same. I know that with the power of disernment which is in me as a servent of the Lord I have that ability to see and know what to do. ONe familiy has already become so blessed by the Gospel, even though they arent members they are paying tithing, having familiy home evening, and reading the Book of Mormon together. We are only waiting on 1 paper to be married then they can be baptized. The Wife has been sick though because she is pregnent and is having some dificulties. But we are very pleased to be with them in these happy times. It brings me such Joy to see this perfect investigaotrs famliy progress. They have changed so much. I am pretty much a member of their family. I have gotten so close to them. I was with them since we found them adn up until now tehy have been great. They love the Gospel. We also had 2 new men come to church. ONe of the men is named José Mercedes Rodriguez. We met him this week adn has already recieved his awnser by the Holy Ghost. He understands the perfect need for the Restoration and also the need of A prophet. He really enjoyed church. We also had a lady adn he 2 little ones at church for hte first time. She really liked the church but weel see if she really understands the importace of the restored church.
Today we went walking out in the boonies of Hato Nuevo. It is a boony. We took tons of sweet pictures in the greenery and also I have a sweet story. We approch a spot where there were many cows grazing. I started to charge the hurd yelling and waving my hands until the bull arrived. He started to chase us and we took off. Those things are fast. ahahha. I also had a redside bag on . So I think I made him doublely ticked. ahahha. I cant belive that just happend I almost had to wave my bag to my side and do that weird spanish thing with bulls. ahahhaha. I will send pictures.
I hope that all can have a great new years and a new year. May God bless you all greatly.
I love you all and Pray for you and your families.
