Hey family!
Thank you so much for your emails! Also I got a letter from Meaghan Reese, she is awesome. Welp, this week has been good. We have found some really awesome new investigors! its really exciting, because they dont have anything holding them back!!! i love it. 4 of our investigors came to church, we just now have teach them and help a few of them get permission, and the rest, just keep em warm.
Beder said a prayer the other day and in his prayer thanked me and my companion for helping him, and for filling the hole is heart he didnt know he had. Beder is sooooo awesome. Just pray that his mom will allow him to be baptized. we are teaching her and really trying to show her that baptism is a good thing for her son.
I dont have too much to tell about this week, we just keep moving forward, keep pushing even when things are difficult. I am so grateful for the gospel and for the oportunity i have had to share the message with people who accept it. i love watching lives change, and its so hard knowing how the gospel could help someone, and they dont put their part. you have to live the principles before you can get a testimony of them. you have to show that faith before you can recieve the reward. if you never show faith, and never live the principles of the gospel, how can you know if its good? If there is food in front of you, you have to taste it before you decide if its good or not. Thats whats so hard for me is when people just arent willing to try, to see what could happen to their lives. But the people that do, makes it all worth it.
I love hearing about halloween!!! i love this season. They dont celebrate halloween here, they know what it is, but dont really get into it. Halloween is definitely more fun in the states. Next year, we{ll all go to witches fest. and it will be awesome. I dont know if you know. mom and dad, please send pictures of your costumes, and of david and amber, and my nephew who i dont know. and of the whole fam. granparents, cousins, tias, tios, you know. The whole brady bunch.
Anyway, i love you all tons and tons!!!! i miss you, but i know i am exactly where i need to be at this time, so thats a good feeling.
