Hey everyone how are yall doing? Hola ¿Como estan? Este semana estaba bienn. Me espanol es mucho mejor. Yo entiendo todo a hora. Hey guys I thought that I would just share a little Spanish, Sorry the grammer is horrible I know but I am writing like super fast on the computer and I really don't have time to make corrections. Well this week one of our investigators Joseph attended church but only for one hour as he had to go help his mom at work the rest of the day.I am so glad that he came that day because our ward mission leader gave a talk on family history. The ward mission leader is like my freaking best friend out here in the mission and I will miss him a lot when I leave. He is actually going to get his endownments in 2 months and I might be able to go with him. He actually has a girlfriend and they are waiting to get married but Miguel,the mission leader, said that he will only marry in the temple . She is a member so she is waiting for his year time to finish but it is truly a good example as to there is no replacement for the marrage in the temple. Well anyway he talked about how through family history he was able to have ordincances done for his mother so he can live with her forever. It was truly touching and I was crying like crazy as was the rest of the congregation. Well Mom i got your package. I was super exited for the Rogain the skittles and the socks. When I got the pictures my heart melted. I will explain . Well the first pictures were touching and made me laugh a bit but when I got to the picture of mom and her family I started thinking. I only asked for a picture of Grandma Loir but mom sent a picture of the whole family. It was really touching. Then I got a feeling or a thought or something it said.
Together Forever.!
My eyes were watering like crazy. Mom i want you to know right now inspite of whatever you may think your family is forever.
THAT is GODS plan. THAT is the plan of happiness. That day an investigator of a part member family asked how our church is different. I sat and thought for a moment and I thought of the picture. Then I said, "through this church, THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST families are ETERNAl. Not until death do you part but they are forever". There was a silence in the room. The man was sitting in the chair looking down at the floor in complete silence. I know that he knew that it was true. For me that was the most spiritual experience i had this week. Well anyway dad I want to give you something to tell the priest the next Sunday.
Ok so as the time draws closer to serve a mission you will think that you are not prepared maybe even start to doubt your testimony. You may think of not going or delaying until a year or two more. Well ask this question in another year or two will you be more prepared? Well I will tell you guys something to come out to the mission and to be as changed as me already I say GO ON A MISSION it will change your life I promise you that right now as a Representative of Jesus Christ. Jeffry R Holland said that no one could have changed and appreciated his mission more than him. I think that I might be giving him a pretty good run for his money anyway out of time I love you all
