Hola! Qué tal? Hope everyone is doing well. Quick little short message. I have realized the greatest gift we have, and the greatest gift that we can receive is the Restored Gospel. El Evangelio Restaurado! haha. A poco español por ustedes. but it doesn´t matter the amount of gifts we have or recieve, the greatest gift God has given us. Is the gospel, and the opportunity to live together as a family forever! Those sealing blessings the gospel brings to us.! Just brings so much joy to my heart and ahhh! It is amazing! I hope everyone is striving to live worthy of the blessings that the Gospel brings, so we can live together forever! As pappap always says, I say to all in our family and extended family, ¨no empty chairs..¨ Let us live worthy, and rejoice in the blessing that the gospel brings into our lives! Because it is incredible. I am lucky becauuse it is the greatest gift that i can give to someone!
Okay so some stuff that happened this week! I did another intercambio with one of the zone leaders again. He is heading home in 2 weeks. haha. But it is always a good experience to spend 24 hours with them and learn from them. The experience they have. Something he told me that i realized i need, is to enjoy every second of the mission. He was getting kind of sad cause he was like you don´t know how fast it goes. He said he wasn´t ready to go home yet. So i am trying to enjoy every second i am here. Also i learned to recognize the Lords hands more in his work. There were just people we kept running into that day, who are ready, who i had the privilege of sharing my testimony. He was like, Elder i learned something from you. I told him he couldn´t learn from me i am so new. The greenie and rookie. haha. But he loved how sincere my testimony was. When i shared it with others. Sao another invitation, i know it is a bit difficult in utah, but any chance you have the opporutnity to share your testimony or the message about our church do it. Everyone needs it. I feel so bad for the people that reject us, and say i am catholic, i don´t need any other church. ugh Crush, i want to help you! haha But any chance you have to share your testimony! Haga lo! Por favor.
Like i said i am not allergic to watermelon!" I think i have eaten more watermelon in the past 2 days then i have in my whole life. I sit on my bed at night with half of a watermelon and eat the whole thing. They cost 8 mil. Which is like 2 dollars. haha. I eat mucho!
We have some good investigadores that are progressing right now. Yesterday we were talking to one of them, they are so good cause they always have questions. And he was like, ya, my brother and cousin told me that they wanted to get baptized. I couldn´t help but hold back my smile. We have 4 people with a baptismal date! I am praying each works out and should have more with a baptismal date this week. They are like all scheduled for 7 of january. That is the last saturday of this change. And my comp and i are guessing at the end of the change i am getting shipped out to another area. That is wwhat we think! I am am praying that those work out. But those should be good! I will keep ya updated of course. Yesterday we taught this guy from brazil, he gave my comp and i each a half of a sandia, watermelon. He was way nice and talked with the missionaries about 2 yrs ago. Almost got baptized. So we will see what happens there too.
O and there is this guy and his family we are teaching, i don´t know but he reminds me of steve martin the actor in 3 amigos and father of the bride. Ha He just looks like him. haha It is kind of funny whenever i see him. i think of those movies when i see him.
Shout out and loving
Con Amor
