Wazzzz uppp family.
Things here in Tres Bocas are going awesome like usual. The work is good, the church is true.
This week has been a mas o menos week. It has had its ups and downs. But o well. I will start off with the downs.
First off, I have had a cold all week. Ughhh...... And when I get a cold, it is bad. But I have plenty of medicine, and I aint doing too bad. I have just been pretty tired all week. Also, I had a stomache ache for most of the week. Vomiting and all that, that isnt fun. But i am better now. I just have this stinking cold. Also, we have about 2 weeks until changes, and my companion is convinced that he is going. But this is only his third change here, so I think that we both have an equal shot of going. Nobody knows, but we think atleast one of us will go. It isnt that I want to leave this area, the problem is that my comp thinks that he is going, so he is dead in this area. Or in other words, he has kind of stopped working. In the last 2 weeks we have found 6 new investigators, as opposed to 20 or so in the previous 2 weeks. Also we have 7 baptismal invitations in the last 2 weeks, as opposed to 31 in the previous 2 weeks. Or in other words, who ever has to stay this next change has alot of work to do to rebuild this area. Ughhhhh. I just wished that he had the same fire as when we were first together, and that even though one of us will probably go, he still cared for this area like he used to.
O well........
Now the good news!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lets see...... We had 2 more baptisms this week. And we are planning for 2 more this next week. But after this we dont have anything planned. O well. This last saturday we had the baptisms of Monsy, y Sintia, the little sistersw of our converts Ruben and Miguel. The sweet thing is that Ruben and Miguel baptized their little sisters. It was so cute and cool and spiritual too see. I know that Ruben and Miguel are going to stay active forever. They are the biggest studs ever. Also, we have 2 more baptisms this proximo sabado. We have the grandkid of a member, and a 21 year old boy. We are so excited, and after these two this saturday, that will make 13 new converts to the tres bocas branch. The Lord has blessed us soooo much. And whats great, is that because of this, because of the success the Lord has given us, the members now have an appreciation for us. The last couple days they have really commented on our work and our success. And now, they want to help us more. They want to activate the inactive, they want to give us names of their friends, they want to become a ward and not a branch. We are so close into becoming a ward. We only have to get a few more faithful priesthood holders. And our attendance is almost where it needs to be. This branch, really had the desire to grow into a ward. I am so greatful.
And it isnt my wish to make it look like I am bragging or prideful right now. I am just so greatful for the Lord and his help. Yesterday we learned about counting our blessings, and I just wanted you guys to know how much our Heavenly Father is blessing us. He is blessing us with success. He is blessing me with the language. He has already blessed me with the best family in the world. He has blessed me with a beyond humble selfless dad, who would give anything to see his children grow up in the gospel. A dad that has had uncountable trials and tribulations, but still goes forward in the faith with nothing stopping him. God has blessed me with a mom that has gave me life. Has given me a knowledge of the gospel and who I want to be. He has blessed me with the hardest working mom with the most tender love for her children and everyone. God has blessed me with three amazing beautiful sisters, with amazing attitudes towards life. With the singing voices of angels and all attributes of angels alos. God has blessed me with a older brother, who puts up with me. A hero in my eyes. A brother that has the strongest desire to have a happy and united family. A brother that is the rock and foundation of an already unbreakable family.
God has blessed me with the greatest grandpa ever. My Hero, my best friend, my buddy, my celestial brother. He has blessed me with the two most amazing grandmas ever. Grandma Summers, and Grandma Durfee. With their unbreakable love and kindness. I thank God every night for my wonderful family, my amazing grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and all. I am so blessed.
God has blessed me with the 3 best friends in the world. One that is in Korea that has helped me to see my potential in life, the worth of my soul. One in the MTC, who is going to Mexico City, who has been the best friend ever. He has befriended me when there was no one there. He has listened to me and understood me when the troubles and tribulations and evils of the world were hitting me with all force. Another friend who is preparing to head off to Sierra Leone who is my tennis and hunting pal. He has been through it all, and I truly see him as a role model in my eyes. If only I could be as strong and good looking and incredible, and have a unbreakable testimony as he does. Then I would have it all.
These are the reasons that I am happy right now.
