HOLA BANDITA!!!

this week just flew by! i cant believe it is already monday again, i

definetely made the most of my time this week, my personal studies

went great!! we as a companionship are doing great! we have 8 baptisms

coming on the 12th to finish the transfer, so we will be super busy

this week with interviews and then exchanges, district meeting that i

havent even thought about until now, so much to do and not enough

time!! i just noticed, i use a ton of exclamation points in my emails,

it comes from the spanish. cool fact, when you speak spanish, you use

your face a lot, well at least i do, and you kind of almost yell but

not really, so it comes out in my english that is barely even

understandable now and it is hilarious!

so this week, we finally got fransisco perez/chut padre e hijo to

commit to be baptized on the 12th! also we got nancy to commit to  be

baptized that same day! she is the wife of ruben pascual, he was

baptized the week before i came into this area with elder cook and de

leon! nancy is having problemas with stop smoking and we are really

praying hard for her to stop! she has to yesterday, and so lets hope

she did! we were able to give her a blessing to help her and the

spirit was really stong and i know that nancy can do it, now its just

a matter of her doing it! pray for her please!

we were also able to give john a blessing on monday night, he has had

really bad migranes his whole life and that night he was in so much

pain he couldnt move! so we gave him a blessing and in the blessing i

commanded him to be healed accoring to his faith, and wow the feeling

that came into the room put us to tears!! john was healed!! it was a

great miracle and a powerful testimony of the priesthood and faith!

its all about love and our father in heaven is full of it!

yesterday, we learned about our capacity. god is real, he knows

everything. we are real, but we dont know everything. He is the one we

have to go to in order to learn, to grow, and to become who he is! if

we dont, we are wasting his time that he has given us to be here, its

only a short period of time, so we have to ask in prayer that he help

us know and understand the things we need to do. our capacity to learn

and understand will grow, i know from experience and i know that as we

put our trust in him he will help us! he is obligated to do it!

i know that this church, is the way. the only way. listen to the

profeta, follow the commandments, his teachings, and live the way that

cristo would live. service, love and charity! is it hard, no. its as

hard as we think. confidence trust and true humility are what will

help us! god has given us the capacity to learn, to think and to act.

we cant sit back and say oh god will take care of me...he wont. we

have to act in order for him to act. he wants to take care of us, as

long as we take care of the things he asks us to! i love learning, go

on a mision if you hav thoughts! you will never regret it! it is the

best work!! love you all!!
