this week was better a lot bettyer i had a bad attitud and it was really hard for me to leave my area that i was in for 6 mounths and leave my compaion after being with him for 6 mounths. i need to apoligize for my bad attitud. im also going to take moms advice. and im sure that will help me. im going to complete 8 mounths in the mission! thats getting up there. ha im still yhoung and have a bunch to learn. gma....... who is bill laws.? i love the pencil that you sent me but who is bill laws your dad? aarea they silled in the temple?

tell the sleights thanks forf the letter and the aruthers too. they sent me some christmas cards that i jsut got but it was really really nice of them. thell them thanks for me. i got the package iwth the crmel in it i was really good but i have been sick diarria for 2 weeks so i only ate a little hahahahah. and dads story was sweet i really really liked it.

so i really i need to change someithing about me this exchange as you all know im having as had time with my compiaon but this wek was better i need to do what dad siad and build off of his good things and then we can be fiends. its giong really wel land this week went by better. i jsut need to fix something about me. so i can be way close like i was with elder de la cruz. i know this chruch is ture. and we are here for the same reason. so i have been trying to focus on that side of the work and put all the little things aside. and it has been helping thanks dad for the advise. elder martinez is from las vegas and his mom is mexican so he looks latino but he is white. he played tennis. he loves the office wich something that mom would heate hahahah. and he went ot mexico to live. we have been workiing good togeter we have one bpatisum set for the 8th of feb and the 11th of feb.. but the 11th of feb isnt even serious. so its going to be hard to get baptisms but salvacion isnt easyh it wasnt easy for jesus why would it be easy for us.

i was stuyding in the 121th seccion of d and c. and i learned that the priestood can only be controled or used upon rightouness. and we need to use it to sereve others and not for our benfit. i think if i use the preisttod like for others i can achive a lot better realsonship with my compion.

so i remeber one year ago i never read the book of morom and my last christmas home i was the worst i fought with jace and dad almost kicked me out of the house. .. hahah thats how bad my attitude was. but after that i changed rooms and i read the book of morom 3 times 2 solo and 1 time with my new roomates. and i know that the book of mormomn is true. im almost done with it in spanish and it will be the 4th thime that i have read it form cover to cover im super excvited to finish it. but every time i read it im finding sometihing more. and its the same way with our life. i was teaching gospel priciaples class two weeks ago and it was aobut eternal famalys. and we are like babys speirtyally and we doent rember that we lived there we need to walk by faith. and the book of morom is the way. its the most correct book in the earth and it has power every one who has read the book and prayered has felt an answer and they have told me that they feel an ansawer but only 13 wnated to act on the answear that they have recived. but the book of moroon is ture. im super exciterd to finish it in spanish and have read it 4 times in about one year. im super excited.

some other sweet news i left algarrobos with 3 people behind that i was teaching and yesterday one of them got baptised!!! and the other two will get baptised the next sundy im super exciterd and i feel like i helped them out even though i left before the baptisum.

the mission is really hard but i know that its worth it i can learn to be a better compioan with elder martinez i can do things that are hard. and if i allwasy lsten to the holy ghsot i can change peoples lives. i know that this is the truth. and im sorry and im going to do better alot better this week. but i love you all. and have a sweet sweet week !!!!!!!!! im 8 mounths old!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha

this week was the best!!!!!!! i learned so much.... the furance of affliction helps purify even the very best saints by burrning away the dross in thier lives and leaving behind pure gold...

yeah we have problems and we have things or people that we dont really like. but through afflicion we are becoming like him. thats why we are here in the earth to go through affliction and become like him. now yes the area is way hard. noting but knocking on doors and not getting in houses but thats fine. we have something that they dont have. its not a different chruch or its not a different relgion. its the truth. its the only way we can covenatas with our heavanly father and get back to his presancve. so its been a good week. full of lots of little things but through the little things you learn to put your trust in god and walk, with faith in every step.

this week was really really awesome. i got to see my grandson!! elder de la cruz is my son and he has a son elder agular!! my grandson. ha it was so good to see him. we will be frineds for life.

we are going to baptisethis week!! and it will be really cool casue i baptised the 8th of december the aneverssary of janae. the 8th of january my last baptisum in algarrobos and now the 8th of febuary. ha so sweet! im really excited and looking forward to the baptisum.

we are teaching a family that isnt married but they are going to chruch and we are trying to get them married. and if they do get married they can get baptiesed and they will be my first family!! but they will be really strong in the chruch so we have been working really hard with the family. los talledos!

you know the chruch is true when you feel the sprit testifying what you are saying is ture while you are talking. we konckin on a door thrusadyin the morining and they didnt let us in but siad come back saturday. so we came buack and they let us in and we talked to them about lession 3. faith repent baptisum and the gift of the holy ghost and endure to the end. but while i was talking aobut the baptism i gave my testiomny and felt with all my heart that what i was saying is ture. and the cool part was that she was feeling it too. but she didnt go to chruch either. but i feel that she felt it. so now its only up to her if she is going to act on it or not. but thats the best part in the mission is when you feel while you are syaing and testifying you feel that its ture.

so las capullanas according to the bishop is the most dangarous part in the whole piura. there is a place called the whole. and it is really dangrous but i have seen miricales and we havent been robed or anyting.

this week was the hardest but best week of my life! yeah we didnt
baptise that was really hard and the rest of the week we got nothing
but rejected! it was so hard but i learned so much. !!!!!!!!! JA so to
start off this week it actuially rained!

i guess in piura every feburary it rains pretty hard and its been
raining all no stop this week. its been really interesting..... we
didnt baptise and we taught some really hard peop0le who knew the
bible more then me but they didnt have the truth and they really
laughed and jose smith and the lession. and in that moment i bore my
testimony that the chruch is ture and they will remember my words for
the rest of my life and it was really powerful. i know that we are in
the true chruch.

the power turned out and we went tracking with nothing but a flash
light. it was really awesome.

im studying the new testiment every day now. i finish the book of
moron and preachmy gospel so i decided i would study the NT.. and i
found a scruptuer that i wonder is really ture or not... mathew 10
verse 39.......... i belive that it is ture.

mom and dad happy anerviersy the 16th and i love you all sorry that
its short and i hope you undrstand...... but this area is hard i wnet
4 weeks without baptisums and we have just been getting rejected. but
i know that the fruts will come after the harvest. i love you all and
have a good week.

im still losing weight!!!!!!!!!!

well its week 6!!!!!! the cahnge is going to end and we dont have a single fruit. its been really hard this week. not hard but just like disapointing cause we havent baptised and its going to be my first white out. or in misisonary talk a chagne with out baptisums. lol. but i have been learning alot for the scriprtues. there is a meat and a milk part to the gospel. the meat is the basic faith repentace baptsim recive the holy ghost and endure to the end. but the milk part is the part that we dont r4eally understand but its still doctrien and i was studying lession 2 in preach my gospel when i read that

lived with god but he has a body perfect and glorified. so i thaught that were did he get is body.. and i was study the scritpures and looking for the queiston i found it. en el libro enseñazas de josé smith. it says that.... Dios mismo estaba en donde nosotros estamos ahora, él es un hombre exaltado y se sienta en el torno de aquellos ciels. .... or in english god was in the same place that we are right now, he is a man exaltded and he sits in the thron of the heavens. let that thought cook in your minds. hahahaha.

i need to study more preach my gospel im studying the book of mormon and its amazing but i need to master preach my gosple to use the information in any place in any setting. to invite people to come unto chritst. my favortie prophet would have to be lehi in 2 nephi 2 he is expaining to his son jacob about the paln of salvtion and in this chapter we read why is the fall necessary and the mercay we reveive throught the holy mesiah. and its realy entresting to see that the next chanper whn lehi is teaching jospeh his son that was born in the wilderness he is teaching him about the restracion. that a prophet like moises will raise foruth form the seed of the gentiles and be a light a voice to the world. and lehi also teaches about ovliber coudary that he will write the things that come out of the mouth of the prophet. how could lehi see that? its amazing to me that sencse the start of time god had this all planed out! and the propehrs saw our time. they profisied aobut joseph smith! word for word waht christ taught when he went to the spirt world. we have the truth and how hard is it to follow it!!!!!! ja but i need more pacience becaseu this time in the mission im planting seeds.

i know that the book of mormon is ture. and its the most true book in the world and a man can get closer to heaven reading and following the precepts the book contains. i know that jesus didnt minister to the gentiles beacse our time is now. the light of the world came through a gentil and the gentils are sharing the gospel and of corse after we are baptised we are a part of the house of isreal. but i think its really intresting that the cruse on the land is still here today. the crush in ether that the people had to sleep with there sords or they would be lost still applays today. the people cant leave there moto or cars out side or they will get robbed haha. that made me laught.

i know this chruch is ture. we need to be like nefi and lehi. i want to be like them strong in the faith but even they have there weekness. i dont rember what chapter but i think that it says it in 2 nefi 5 nefi what rechanded man that i am. and lehi even was compaling for a little while.... but after the family spereated nefi built a temple. and there we can go and make covenats with the lord and if we keep our coventasts we can and iwll make it back to the presance of jeffery our brother jesus christ and our father in heaven. if we keep our coventats. the law of cosegracian is hard to live. misisonarys carry the same title as the leaders of the chuch case we are all living the law of cosegracion. its hard but i know that its worth it and i see the hand of the lord in my life every day.

i know that this chruch is ture. last week i was teaching a testigo de jehova. and they laughed at my testiomny. they laughed at the truth. but when i bore my meek and simple testimony i felt that this is ture and they felt it. and they will never forget how they felt taht day, and i hope they will change cuase i dont wnat to see them in the spirt world and say i told you so ha i wnat to see them in the spirt word with the truth. caue this IS THE TRUTH. tu eres pedro y sorbe esta roca edificaré mi iglesia. we have the turth and we have the keys that chrust gave peter. and this is the truth.

thats what i learned this week ha. have a good week and i love you
