April 27,

haha that sounds really cool! haha its hard to understand that amber is home now haha! It just kinda  blows my mind that it is all passing by so fast! haha! and i actually dont hardly talk to anyone! we just talk by the group chat thing that we have haha.  i cant believe that josie is going to college haha i just dont understand. its kinda wierd how life is just starting to get here and its really fun to see what we can do with it all!!! haha


so this week we had a really good week!! so we had 2 baptisms! it was freaking awesome!! so i got to baptize both javier and jose! javier was awesome and a bunch of his family came who are less-active members and then his niece (who is older than him haha) came and she isnt baptized and she also came to church with javier and his mom for the confirmation and we are going to teach her this week and get her baptized as well!! haha! so jose also got baptized and it was probably the most special baptism that i have been able to take part in. so this guy was the national boxing champ when he was 23 years old and then he decided that it wasnt a job conducive to a happy family life, so he quit. then he has been working in a successful job for his entire life and also was super famous because of his boxing career and everyone and the dog litterally know him. haha. he had a heart attack 6 months ago and he almost died. because of his heart attack he then had to stop smoking (Gods Plan is Perfect) than after 5 months of not working he was helping his sons father in law and the missionaries in that city passed by and started talking to him. one of the missionaries who came to the mission with me talked to him. they then passed the reference to us and we started teaching him. more than that we almost gave up trying to find his house because it wasnt easy to find at first. The man has had everything that the world has to offer and he regonized that he was missing something in his life. when he came up out of the water he had his hands to his face and i thought that he was wiping the water from his face. turns out he was crying. crying because he knows that he has been cleaned from the sins of the world and that he has started a new life. he gave me a hug and cried on my shoulder and i have never felt so acutely the Spirit testify to me that Baptism Cleans us of our sins and makes us whole. Jose is honestly one of the biggest examples that i have and im so SO SO SO SO SO SO grateful for the calling that i have to teach people about the gospel of  faith in Jesus Christ and Repentance! I love being a missionary:) 

we now dont have a lot of people to teach and we need to get finding!


mom here is the copy of the words an how they need to be written!
i will type it out next time for you!
Bueno, espero que les haya ido muy bien este mes y que realmente hayan hecho lo que es lo más importante para ustedes!! Ustedes son muy especiales y sepan que Dios les ama!
Este mes pudimos escuchar al profeta y los 12 Apóstoles, quiero agregar mi mensaje a lo que ellos dijeron y especialmente a lo que el profeta dijo. El Templo puede y debe ser el centro de nuestras familias. El templo nos brinde paz y felicidad en los momentos más débiles. No tenemos ser PERFECTOS pero tenemos que ser DIGNOS. No son los mismo, hay una diferencia….Al ser dignos al entrar el templo nosotros cumplimos con los requisitos que Dios ha mandado, atreves el Profeta y los 12. Si no somos dignos tenemos que arrepentirnos. Es sencillo y nos hace feliz. Hagamos los cambios para que entremos en el Templo todo juntos y participemos del Espíritu des Señor. Que el sea el centro de nuestras vida. Hagamos los sacrificios para ir.
¿Somos como el pueblo de Rey Benjamín? Mosiah 2:5-6
Estuvimos caminando en la Calle Valparaíso en el centro de Viña, y de la nada avele de asado! Que rico! Empezamos a buscar de donde venía… lo encontramos y un hombre estaba al lado al parilla. Después también vi que el hombre tenía una sierra! Las ganas que tenía se me fueron y también nos fuimos nosotros. De alli para comprar almuerzo mas rico, a un hombre menos peligroso!
Busquen las respuestas en las palabras de los profetas! Se que las encontraran!


i would send you pictures but now my card reader broke..... again! haha i will send them next week love you
