hello dear family and friends. well mom, after reading jeffs letter, i can assure you that we are not that type of zone leaders. we have had to crack the whip on a few elders, but we have made sure to keep it uplifting, and in private. a few of the problems have been flirting, and helping out in the nursery. it seems harmless, but the both are very dangerous tools that satan uses in the mission. there sure are a lot of tools satan uses in the mission, elder miller and i have talked about it alot, realizing all the reasons to keep the rules of the mission, and not be in places we shouldnt be. God really is trying to protect us as best he can, and as we are obedient and take care of ourselves, we really do feel protected and safe from everything.(but not to get prideful or cocky)
well it is finally starting to get cloudy here, but the rain is just playing with us. i dont know if it will ever come... but i still hope for it and pray for it. while we were in cuernavaca, it was super calm, and refreshing, and i want to be back there... but im also very happy to be back working in my area. the mission conference was incredible. it was very relaxing, and we didnt talk deep doctrine or about any topic in specific, except for the talk he gave in may 2010 in conference about the divine calling of a missionary. he shared his experience of getting his call to the new york new york mission, after his dad, brother, and brother in law had all served in germany. he expected to go there, and really got disappointed. but he opened d&c to section 100:1-4. that was very interesting with his talk that he shared in conference of how the lord sends us exactly where we need to go, and there are never mistakes. elder octaviano tenorio 1 councilor in the area seventy also shared some scriptures before elder rasband to help us understand of whom we were in the presence of. very cool! they both are special witnesses of christ, and gave very powerful testimonies of Him and the book of mormon. my favorite part was that at the end, he said now if you dont remember anything else we have said, just remember that we love you. i realized how powerful and motivating that feeling of love can be. i really felt that they cared for us, and were concerned for us. it was a great experience. i also sang in the choir this is the christ, in spanish. it went very well.
this week, went a little slow, because our baptisms fell through because they werent fully prepared. we decided they havent had the full change of heart to stay active afterwards like d&c 20:37 explains, so we will wait another week, and keep working with elizabeth, alondra, citlaly, and perla. also rosita has her date for this weekend, and is looking good for it! please pray for them. we are at least hoping for three baptisms to complete our monthly goal with the lord. we did splits with some missionaries, and we think it will help them get more excited about working, and not complaining about their companions. so all is getting better here in the zone. well sorry my time is about up, but i just wanted to say thanks to sharon sumner, shauna banks, anna rees, and alyssa for writing. alyssa for sending virus emails, but i saw her good intentions for writing haha! love you all, and sure hope your all as happy as i am! mom and dad, good luck with the tub! love you
