This is the Lord's work and no one else's

Hey family!!!!!

So awesome to hear all about your amazing week and your awesome adventures!!!! I am so grateful that my family is a happy family and a family that lives in the gospel. I am so grateful that we aren't a problem family. There a lot of  Elders that have a bunch of problems with their families and it really affects them in the the field. I thank God that we don't have those problems and that I can be sure that my family sleeps at night smiling. The only thing that I worry about is Jessi and her high school hooligans, and boys, especially boys. I love you guys ssoooooo much!!!!

Well, a lot has happened this week!!!! And well let's go in order. Transfers came and Elder B. had a transfer and I got to stay in my area, woooo!!!!! But the twist is that I am training another greenie!!! His name is Elder U. He is from the Peruvian jungle and he's pretty cool!!! He's been a member for like three years and he has a bunch of desires to work and serve!!! The only thing is that he doesn't know a lot about the gospel. And here in the mission field the learning curve is extremely steep and we are going to have to work really hard so that he can become a master of the gospel. (that is a goal of the mission, the we become master teachers of the Gospel) I am really excited to work with him and train him.

Another thing that happened this week is the baptism of C. S.!!!! He was baptized on Saturday ( In memory of Jessi's bday) and it was awesome! I had the opportunity to baptize him and there was a great spirit at his baptism. He shared his testimony and he said that he is willing to do whatever the church or the Lord asks him to do. He is committed. He is going to be an awesome missionary!!!!!!

Really I am so grateful that I am staying is this area because we are really seeing the fruits of our labors.  The month of October we have 10, that's right TEN, people who have accepted a baptismal date. I am in shock. The Lord has worked miracles in this area and I can't express how grateful I am. Really the Lord is using us as his hand here in Valle Sagrado and we now have to great opportunity to work really Hard and have a lot of success. I am so so thankful for His blessings and the chance to teach these awesome people. I don't have time to write about the investigators but let's just say that they are amazing. Another awesome blessing is that 15 investigators came to church on Sunday. That is unheard of!!! The things that the Lord is doing here in Valle Sagrado are incredible. I am so thankful.

Well this week is conference. Unfortunately I am not going to be able to watch it. There are elections this Sunday and the Law forbids any public meeting so everyone will go and vote. So we aren't going to have church and we will watch conference next week. I know it is going to be awesome. But please, don't tell me. Haha.

Well I am really happy and I am really excited to work and serve the Lord. Thank you for all your support and love!!!
