Mis queridos

Dear Family,

This week went by so fast because there was so much to do. Elder Parke and I had to go to a training by Pres Lovell and then give two trainings to our zone. Which ment we had to travel a lot. Even though at some points we got really tired, we just kept going. One of my companions always said that there is nothing better than some good old fashion work! Its so true jaja. Here is a cool story for yall:

Elder Parke and I are seeing so many miracles it is incredible! Elder Parke and I saw a miracle with our investigador Miguel. We had planned on teaching him the word of wisdom for about a week but everytime we went over something got in the way. It was as if the adversary didnt want us to teach that lesson. Saturday we had an apointment with him but he wasnt there. We called but he didnt answer. So we went on our way teaching others and looking for more people. At the closing of the day we decided to pass by one more time. But on our way over we felt it would help if we offered a prayer. So we stopped on the corner of the street and Elder Parke offered a prayer asking Heavenly Father to give us the chance to teach Miguel the word of wisdom and that if He would give us this opportunity we would take advantage of every moment of the lesson. As we arrived at the house, we saw that Miguel was home. We taught him the word of wisdom and he accepted it without hesitation. He said that he knew he was loosing blessings for not living the word of wisdom. It was a miracle!

I love the mission. I love the mission with all my heart. I love that in the past few years Heavenly Father has changed my life forever. There is nothing greater than the mission. Before leaving on the mission Uncle Beau told me, ¨there is not a day that goes by that something I see remind me of the mission¨. I can understand why. These are the greatest 2 years that anyone could ever receive. I love going out every morning talking with people about the gospel. I love this message so much. I love it because I know its true. I keep knocking doors even when Im tired because I know this message is true. I keep on walking when my body says no because I know this church is true. I will keep going and going here in the mission until my time is up because I know this gospel is true. Sometimes we need to ask ourselves,  ¨If I know this gospel to be true, what am I willing to do?¨ The Spirit will guide us as we try to answer that.

I love you all so much. I testify that Jesus Christ lives and that His church has been restored. The Book of Mormon is a true book that with draw a man closer to God more than any other book on the face of the Earth. Joseph Smith is a prophet of God and he was called to restore the church of Jesus Christ.

I hope you all have a great week! :)

Love
