Trabajemos hoy en la vina del Señor

GOOOOODDDDMOOORRRRNNNINNNNGGGG!!!!

Hey everyone!!! So this week has been excellente. We had a baptism and we are finding more people to teach and to baptize. It has been going great here in Valle Sagrado! I am so happy for the work we are doing here in the ward. Within the four Elders that work here in the ward we have had a baptism every week for the past three weeks and we have baptism for the next three weeks. I am so so grateful for the blessings of the Lord. 

On 22 of August we are going to baptize a family. Remember Elxxx? Well him, his daughter, and we are hoping his sister will be baptized. We are inviting our mission president to come to the baptism and participate in the success we are having here in Valle Sagrado. 

One thing I am learning is that you just need to work work, work. One of the assistants this week gave us a great training about the natural man and how we need to fight against the temptation to sleep for a little bit in our room or hang out at a members house eating or just being disobedient. He shared an awesome scripture in Alma 37:34 ¨Enséñales a no cansarse nunca de las buenas obras, sino a ser mansos y humildes de corazón; porque éstos hallarán descanso para sus almas.¨ Teach them to never be weary of good works, but to be meek and lowly in heart; for such shall find rest to their souls "If we are tired we just need to push on and keep doing the work of the Lord and he will give us rest."

 I am so grateful for the things I am learning here in the mission and the great life lessons I am learning as a help people find more faith in Christ and help them make covenants with our Father in Heaven. 

Here in the mission we have a goal of 32 lessons every week. My companion and I have really worked hard reach that goal and have reached it every week for 8 weeks now minus one when we had 31 lessons I am really proud of the work we are doing and I know that the Lord is blessing us in everything we do. 

I love you guys so much and I am so glad that you have had a great week at the cabin ( I miss it there!!!) It looked so much fun!!!! This summer sounds like the best summer of your lives!!! The last two summers I've had I've been in college and handicapped the summer before. The best summer ever is coming my way I just know it!!!!

Haha I hope that you guys have a great week and the next time I will talk to you guys it will be exactly 11 months since I left home!!!! 

I love you so much familia!!!!!!
