thing. haha i just wanto to talk to you guys. i dont have enough time to do it.

since i have had a nice subway to chow down on so that was super sweet!!! we
had a blast and we got to play soccer and it was way fun! haha. here are some
pictures of that bad boy.
haha well edurardo need to have more
faith! haha its very hard for him to pay his tithing and told us he doesnt want
to continue but we got one more lesson with him this week. but we have a dad
and his son that we have been teaching for like 3 weeks now and have had like 3
baptism dates and this week they both came to church in suit and tie and
everything and it was seriously one of the coolest things i have seen and they
have got a baptism date for agust 31. haha it was super cool the son is
super super excited to get baptized and cant wait. the dad also is excited to
get baptized and they are both extremely humble people that are really examples
of just how much we dont need to be happy as a family!! also we had another guy
come to church whos name is raul and we actually went to his house before
church to find him and he wasnt there and then when we got to the church he was
sitting there waiting for us! hahah it was super awesome and we are going to
but a bapt. date with him today. ! haha it was such a good sunday! also i went
to 2 meeting and they are super cool.
i want to share with you mom, ( and
all of syracuse) and eternal priniclple that i learned this last week. this
life is not perfect and we are not perfect people. the Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ is the only person that gives us that opportunity to be perfected. if we
are grateful there is nothing in this world that can take us away from this
gospel and the happiness that comes from it. gratefulness is to give thanks for
what we have been given and the result is a feeling of love, appreciation from
our Heavenly Father that turns into the joy of christ. i want you to read alma
31:38. i testify by the power and authority that i have be given from God that
the Joy of Christ is what will take us from the depths of despair to the tops
of happiness and peace. I know that this gospel was restored for US in our
times of NEED. My dear mom, i want you to know how much i love you and how much
i am praying for you right now. help those that need it because its the
only way we can overcome this.
