bueno............. this change has been so crazy i havent got to unpack yet!!!!!!!!!!! but hopefully today after we buy our food and clean our room...... im in the area santa juila! its not hard to adjust any more cause if you go to work you can do what ever the lord wants you to do. so i will jsut start for the begging of this crazy story and i have never been so tired in my life lol........ so the day before changes the presidenet called my zone leaders and said that i had to go to the meeting of changes like 30 minutes ealry so yeah normal we wenbt as we were told early............. then the assitents came into the chruch and said that the preisendt wanted to talk to me. so i was like a little scared. but yeah so i walked into a room with him and he asked me

are you awake.... i was like no hahah cause i twas like 7 30 but i woke up at like 5 to pack for the changes cuase in the night we were palnning and i was filling my compaion in on the area and all the stuff. any way so i lwas like no he siad i will wkae you up.... are you worthy of your temple recomand i siad yes. then he said willl you acept the assiment to serve as a leader of zone. i said yes and then he was like are you awake now and then i said yes. ha it was funny! but im here in santa juila leader of the zone. and this a huge trust fomr the lord but here is the other cool part. i got the my comapmion elder swasey!!!!!!!!!!!!! and he is going home in 2 mounths and he told me i set a goal like i prayed i felt this goal is ture and we can do it if we work hard. i wanted to bapitese 21 more. and then i asked him how many he has bpatiesed and he told me 1....... i want elder swasey to get that goal he is such a good elder. so i thought that if we are going to get this goal we need the lords help. so the first day of the change we fasted for help to get his goal 20 people to help in 2 and a half mounths. so we fasted the first day.... and we are jsut trying to focus in our people and our zone, and for real this is the law of consegracion i have never been so focused in people or leccons and planing. but im tyring to be the best misionary i can be to be humble and turst all that i can in the lord casue if elder swasey and i do ALL THAT wew can the lord will bless us with the 20 people that are lookin gfor the truth. but we have to do all that we can. we are working really hard and the zone is doing well. i have never had to do something like this before and irs really stress full but i just need to trust in the lord with all i have with all!

there was a monutain climber who wanted to climb the mountain but he wanted to be first and so we went up at night and all day. and as he was climbing at night thogurgh the ice and snow he fell. and while he was faling he thought of all the good and bad times that he had throuh the life. and as he was falling he was praying he asked to be saved. father save me. and sudenly he stoped falling.. casue when he was climing he nailed in like pegs and to hold the rope. so as he was hanging there in the night freezing cold noting but dark. the only thing holding him form his death was the rope. he prayed agiang. father save me. and the answear came. CUT THE ROPE. he could not do it. the answer came agiang CUT THE ROPE. he ignored it CUT THE ROPE! he ignored it. the next day he was found froze to death haning 1 meter above the ground.

if we dont follow the spirt cut the rope we will freeze to death. this world is full of lots of bad things but if we dont cut the rope and give those things up we will freeze to death spirtually and we cant be saved.

im trying to give all that i have to sereve my area and the zone and elder swasey to get his goal of 20 persons but i will be have to cut the rope and be a missionary that lets it all go behind and cuts the rope. i dont know how to run a zone or be a leader with words i need to let somethings go and jsut give it all i have. sometimes im not good at listined to the spirt casue it is a small voices. 1 kings 19:12 i know this church is ture and i want to give it all i have with elder swasey to help with the zone and help him get his goal. moroni 7: i dont remeber the verse but if we have faith we can do all things that are conving unto god.
