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,
