7-20-15 A Great Week !

I am really blessed to have this time to be in the mission. I hope my brothers can understand the importance of the work we do here. Note to Kaden and Brennen, now is the time to prepare to serve. I know that bobby and daddy are already helping you guys develop the skills you will need physically, mentally and spiritually. Remember, in the mission, the Lord asks for all your heart, might, mind and strength!! D&C CH:4 

I want you guys to know how merciful the Lord is with me and all of the people in Argentina, he is helping me to overcome barriers that I thought that maybe I couldn´t over come! This week satin tried to tempt us with a lot of distractions and lies. I have learned this is something he tries to do a lot. He tries to make you think that you cannot do things and he does it very convincingly. But we just need to catch ourselves, every time we say to ourselves that we are not good enough, and then we need to say we can!! Like Kami Maxwell says “we can with the Atonement”!!!

This week was great! It was full of finding new people, teaching lessons, being inspired, having all of the drunk people contact us, and having a family of investigators attend  church. Also we had two more which includes one investigator who had a lot of problems getting up in the morning. What a blessing !!! :)

I love you guys so much and I hope you all have a great week dad, bobby, Kaden, and Brennen! 

Love you guys a ton,

7- 13- 2015 Progress

How are you guys? This week was one of the most challenging weeks I have faced!! But never the less I feel good! :)

It started with the unexpected  operation of my companion. At 4 in the morning he asked me for a blessing! After I gave him the blessing we slept for a bout 30 min. Before going off the the hospital. It turns out that he had appendicitis and they had to operate. The good thing is I got to keep him company and we were able to look at the good in the situation. Before the operation I gave him another blessing and felt at peace. To clear things up, I waited what would be only a short time before the President of the Mission arrived with his wife and companioned me!

It was exciting. Instead of doing worse this week we actually had a better week and improved our numbers and we saw some good progress with our investigators. now Amalia has a date to be baptized she just needs to attend the church!! :P 

We have been exceedingly blessed in these past days. We had to arrange everyday for someone to companion me and someone for my companion but we were able to do it!!

I was reminded of my family when we visited the family Viltes family this week. They are a very awesome family, They are united and I know that they are going to progress in their own time, right now only the Daughter is progressing but the life of the gospel is contagious. I know that the rest of the family will accept also!! :) 

I Love you guys and I know that this week will be a great week!! Thanks for your advice about everything.

I wan´t you to know that I am alright That I know that the Lord will help me I have faith because he has helped me in many situations this week!! :)

Until next week!! 

With all my love I am so grateful for the family I have!!

6-15-2015 late posting

This week was awesome we found a lot of new people in the poorest part of the city. we are trying the Alma and Amulek approach and we are looking in the more humble areas!

First we found a girl named Amalia and she is super awesome. We went and taught her and she listened and asked questions and then after, she was the first to say “OK when can you guys return?”. When we returned her sister Cintia was there, and then when we returned the last time there was the whole family and friends and we taught and testified with the spirit and invited them all to be baptized and they all said it sounds like an awesome idea, now we just need to put fixed dates to all of them.

We also found a family through a miracle, and they are very receptive and the mom said that we arrived at the perfect time!!

I know that God is directing his work and that He is preparing people everyday, and that He has a plan for all of us!! :)

In other news Walter and Mariana are doing awesome and received their patriarchal blessings.

Today we had fun playing fútbol and making skinny ties!! 

Until next week!

Hello Everybody

This Week was awesome!! We worked hard and had success! We found 9 new people to teach and we are very happy about that!! We were inspired by a talk this week that Boyd K. Packer gave about talking to everyone. We really tried hard to talk to everyone. and as we passed one house in particular we were almost attacked by a bunch of dogs but a little boy called them off. We began to talk to him and we asked him if we could share a message with him and his family and he said ok. So we met his mom and his whole family and they are awesome really they are chosen. Later, while talking with the mom we found out that the last year was really hard for them, and the mom said really that we came at the perfect time!! We are happy to talk to them and to be teaching them. This week I know we will do even better.

Thanks for the package you guys sent me. I love the letters you guys wrote. They were really nice!! I love you guys so much I want to do the work of the Lord by genuinely loving the people and focusing on them I thought maybe that was something I had been missing. I want to do what the Lord wants me to do and I hope I can learn to be a better friend and more close to God. 

Love you guys!

Sorry I can’t send this week from my own account. There has been a problem with the system in all of South America and some of the people can log in and some others cannot. But the Iglesia says that they will resolve the problem as soon as they can. So today I will send from this account and then you can reply to my other account and I will be able to read it later!! :)

All is well here we didn´t have the best week with the work. We let a lot of little thing distract us and we didn´t work as hard as I would have liked to. At first I was a little discouraged but then I thought "isn´t this what the church is about giving us chances to change?" I know that it will take work and that It won´t be easy but I know that the Lord will help me as I put forth my effort. 

I am very blessed to have a companion that wants to work hard. He is a good companion, I hope he doesn´t think bad of me for these first 2 weeks. I really want to put God first. We read the letter from  the president today and it was all about self discipline and being a disciple and how the words come from the same root which means student. He said that the apostles in the time of Jesus gave up everything to follow Christ.  And that the blessings for following Christ far out weigh the sacrifices.

I know that every person in the church has an impact and that we all have different rolls. I know that Jesus Christ lives and that he wants the best for us and that its never to late to change (before the second coming of Christ) but rather the perfect time to change is now!

I love you guys so much and will let you know what happens this week. And this night I will receive your package. Love you guys so much!

Until next week,

I love you guys. Thanks for your encouragement as always. I have really been trying to become a better person, more like Christ. If there is one thing that I have learned this week is that our Father in Heaven is all loving and He is always looking out for us.

Today I want to let you know that things are getting better. I am trying to learn how to enjoy.. I know that there are people out there I need to help and love and I hope I can gain the humility to help them.

I love you so much family I don´t think there are words to describe how much I love you.

I hope you guys have the best week!!

Kaden keep on going your awesome. and I am so proud to have you as my brother. and Brennen I am so proud to have you as my brother as well.

Until next week. 

Have the best week ever!! :)
