Happy Bday Mom

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! I hope you all do something fun. you should eat some brownies and ice cream for me XD
I am so greatful for everything you have don for me in my life. I think its prettty obvious for all to see that I would not be here if it wasnt for you. I would not be a missionary if you wasnt for you. I have this gospel in my life because of you. You are my missionary. SERIOUSLY! I am so grateful for your patience with me and zach in our progression spiritually. It is so amazing to have a mother that lifts me up and loves me so grately. It helps me know that my Heavenly Father loves me. You have always believed in me and lifted me up to do the impossible. there are so many things in my head its hardto write. But, one thing I will always be greatful for is your faith. I have never met a person with so much faith. Your faith gives me faith. And its that faith that keeps me going everyday even when things look down. I love the scripture is Alma 55 or 56 in about verse 47 that says the spriling warriors had great fatih and said that they did not doubt because their mothers knew it. Thats how I feel. I dont doubt the blessing or the miracles of my Heavenly Father because my mother does not doubt.
Mom, you have been through so much in your life. And, you have done so much for me in your life. I love you so much! I cannot express how greatful am to have you in an email. One day I will be able to show you how much I love you. But, one thing I can do today is share this gospel and show you how much I love you for that.
Its you and me baby! How great it is that we get to be a family forever! Just to always remind you, i love you i love you i love you. Im sorry for my imperfections with writing but I know this gospel is true. I know we are going to be togehter forever. have a great week and do something fun.
also, if you ever get the chance or want to, you can write me the miracles that you have seen in your life and share them with me. Like little stories or something. It might help you think of more things for your book or other books in the future. and i would love to see your miracles :)
I love you all.

Dear Presidente Lovell,
This week was pretty darn good. In Centro we had anactivity in the capilla for 25de mayo and there was 7 investigatores in total that came! It was so great to see the members talk and befriend the investigatores. Not all of them came to the capilla the next day but here in Bariloche we are making progress. Something that made me happy was that every companionship had at least 1 member present. The members are helping more and more.
This Barrio is changing so much and so many great things are coming. All the compaionships are doing good. I talked with Hna Hansen today because to try to fix what was happening for Pday. We were a little flustered with one another because we werent comunicating very well but it all ended well. She told me about the struggles in her area with the work and a little with her comp. After, I called the hna leaders to fill them in and so that they can talk to her. She is a little stressed out but but I think all will be well. I know we need to be careful when talking to the hnas and Im pretty sure I didnt brake any rules but I wanted to fill you in so youre in the loop. Dina Huapi is great! The miracles are increasing daily! We had 3 investigatores come to the activity this week and they loved it. We also found out that one of the members knows our investigator and his daughters and want to come teach them with us. When I heard this I just about fell over. Later in the day we got a call from another member who told us that if we need help with lessions, Saturdays after 3 he can come to Dina Huapi. Two members that day who have never come to dina haupi to teach told us that they wanted to come help....as you can imagin, at this point I had fallen over. Elder Carlotta and I are great. Im learing more about humility from him. He is very kind and loving to all those around him. He is a great misionary. As for me, Im so pumped and so happy for all the great things that are happening. Heavenly Father and his angeles are really here working everyday with us. Oh, and a quick side note, I LOVE THE BOOK OF MORMON. Its filled with so much great stuff! Thank you so muchfor everything. See you tomorrow. Have a great week!

Dear Presidente Lovell,
Sorry that when you called there was a lot of background sound. We were eating with the Emkies. They are so great and got everyone pumped up for the capilla abierta! But thank you so much for calling back; I know you have a lot of things to do. Well this week was pretty darn awesome! These past two weeks Ive seen so many miracles it is crazy. I love this church and
I know this work is so true! First off as a District we put the goal of every companionship getting 8 sobre 8 ref and contactadas. The Hnas worked like crazy and got so much more. They are raising the bar here in their areas. Im pumped to so what more they do. Centro C to start the week off was a little disanimado but they were able to see some great miracles that helped them lift their spirits. Here in Dina Huapi you would not believe how many great things we have seen. We had more help from the member this week and found a new family. The new family is the family Garcia and it was a miracle in the way we found them. What happened was we had prayed before we left the house to find a family of 3 and enter a house. At the end of the day we knocked their door and TAUGHT A FAMILY OF 3. What makes things so much better is that I have literally knocked that door like 5 times before but this week we got that house as a reference so we tried agian! Persistance brings miracles. The family that we found last week is still going strong. The spirit was present like never before in the last lesson. I love when the spirit is strong in una leccion. President, I just love this gospel so darn much! Also, we had an investigator come to church named Monica. She is a nonmember but her son is an ex missionary that is working in the CCM in Buenos Aires. After church she said that she always feel so good in the church and needs to start coming every week. Milagros!! Elder Carlotta and I are doing great. I love this Elder and his animo and desire to work. He is going to do great things. We are trying to keep the faith strong and not let up. As for me, I am doing so good. I am trying to learn more everyday. I love that Elder Vinas talked about the Expiacion because I find myself thinking about the Atonement everyday. Everytime something bad happens or if I make a mistake I think about the Atonement and I know everything will be ok. Im learning a lot and I love it. The spirit is amazing! I have a testimony of this gospel and I believe and know more miracles are coming to this mission. Thank you so much for everything. Have a great week!

Weekly Letter - 12 May 2014

Dear Presidente,
This week was sweet! Things in Bariloche are going great and I love the District. The first
couple days of a transfer are always a little different because of the new missionaries but Im excited to see what happens. The new missionaries are pretty darn excited to get to work and it gets me pumped up! Hna Guerra, Hna Santos, y Elder Carlotta are so great. A new thing
that Elder Carlotta and I are doing to help the hnas is go to their area to help them with the work; look for references and try to contact the houses they cant enter without a memeber. I saw so many miracles in the areas of Centro C and Alto 1 this week! In dina Huapi we are seeing great things. We found a new family, the family Garcia, of 5 people. This family had a Book of Mormon in their house because they had talked to the missionaries 10 years ago. We have been able to teach them two times and they are so great. Right now they are thinking of baptism as a family. What is cool is that in my time here we have literally passed by this house like 15 times but no one was home of they said come back another day. It just goes to show that you never know who is waiting and what is going to happen in the future. Just got to keep trying. There are so many miracles happening and its only the first week of transfers! I think a big part of that is Elder Carlotta. He is full of faith. He and I are doing great. He is a great young missionary that has the desire see miracles. He going to do great things here. As for me, Im great. I got to talk to my family and it got me even more excited for the work. I know families can be together forever and I know Heavenly Father loves us. He is watching over this
mission and wants us to obtain our righteous desires. We are going to lograr 125 baptisms so that 125 people can be blessed with the holy spirit here in the patagonia. Thank you so much for everything. Let me know if there is anything we can do for you down here. Have a great week.

Dear Presidente,
This week rough numbers wise but all in all it was another great week in the mission. The start of every transfer is always another opportunity to put metas and use the atonement in our lives. Its sad to see Elder Laguado, Hna Medero, y Hna Lopez go but its so great that they
con continue the work. Im pumped up just thinking about how after this life we can live with our Heavenly Father and all of friends and family. How sweet with all that be! My goal with the new missionaries that come here is to give them the vision of 125 baptisms. I know this is possible. I am so sure that this is possible that I also believe one day we will double 125. Oh how great this gospel is that there is nothing impossible. We just got to use the faith. I love 2 Nefi 27:23! Dina Huapi is more than great its awesome! Big things are coming and Im pumped for it. Elder Laguado and I had 2 transfers of greatness. I learned so much from him and I know he is going to do great things in his new area. As for me, Im great! This church is true and everyday in the mission proves it. I believe in miracles and know that they are real. Its sad to think that one day all of this has to end. Its like what Elder ViƱas said , ̈this time is unico ̈. I know that the spirit is real and is guiding us as missionaries. I heard una cita that I really loved. It says ̈lo imposible solo cuesta un poco mas ̈. Is that great or what! Thank you for everything Presidente. Have a great week.
