March 30th- Weekly Letter

Hey everyone. I am sorry for the lack of writing and stories but i have had no time and i still today have little time. Its a sacrifice sometimes but vale la pena. (its worth it) Also i want to say that i love you all and i think about you a lot. Thanks for the emails capos!

This week was a special one for me. WHY? because i dont know if you remember my investigador who we found and had an addiction to cocain and meriajuana (terribly spelled) and had many problems with the law of chastity in his life having 4 kids bafore he was 22 and yeah.....very very comlicated. But the difference was that we saw his potential. We fasted for him on many occasions. IN the process, he fell again into drugs. But through the atonement he was ablt to get help and make his life better. After many talks and phonealls with president, 4 long months of headaches and questions and trials, I am proud to say that Jonathan was baptized and confirmed this weekend over in cinco saltos. (remember he moved a few weeks before his baptism) But i have never witnessed such a miracle honestly. Gos has showed me on more than one occasion very plainly that he lives. He has shown me that there are no limits when we do his will and when we keep our covenants. And more than anything he has show me his love that he his for me. 

What an amazing experience. I cant explain in words how grateful i am to have these experiences. I dont feel likei deserve it. Its a blessing so big to be here learning and to progress that i dont even know how to describe it. 

When i think about life in a deep sentido, i come down to the question of why i am here and why i have life every day. And i realize that i am here to serve God. Nothing else. And part of the plan is that in the process of serving God, we will be shaped and prepared for eternal life. Im not just talking about the mission. We are here to prepare the world from the second coming and most importantly prepare ourselves with our families. When the second coming happens, all theings of the world will not be worth anything, So I invite you all to start now and start making eternal investments and keep the big picture in your heads always!

As far as my health I am doing better. It was 2 months of suffereing and weight loss and fever and throwing up and etc. But what a blessing it is to have the priesthood and to have a blessing that after the blessing i was better in a week! Again, i tell you that God lives and he loves us. I cant even tell you how real the priesthood is. I have seen so many miracles here that have changed my life!

I love you all and will let you know where i get transfered to next week to d¿finish the last 6 weeks of this great mission!

Have a great week!
