Hello Mother it is just me checkin it again and stuff. I will start
out with a summary of my week. Well it started out with us finding a
tight family that has accepted us really well. The mom is named
genoveva and she has two kids. She told us she has been praying lately
and asking for a miracle and when we showed up she knew that miracle
had been fulfilled. She has had many trials in her life but she is
willing to change and do the things the Lord wants her to do. We found
her contacting so that is a miracle in and of itself. I am way happy
to have found her and I know this is a blessing for the hard work and
sacrifice we have put in. Also this week we had the zone conference
which was way good. It started out with the hermana talking for an
hour about how we need to take care of ourselves and start out every
day with some fruit. She explained that before eating anything we
should eat the fruits and veggies first then the real food. Then she
made us all put our hands on the table so she could check our
fingernails.... i think she was making sure we cut them or something.
Then she kept going on about how to do laundry and a whole bunch of
stuff like that. I was pretty bored to be honest haha but then the
Pres talked about trust in the Lord and some of the goals we have. We
have some high goals but also some high promises so I know that the
Lord will help us. Then after everything he pulled me aside and moved
me up to district leader so I am pretty stoked about all of this.
Elder Black from Mapleton is in my district and the district is pretty
tight. There is only one district in the zone so I am also pretty much
zone leader. I know that this is my chance that I have to show the
Lord my true dedication and love. Overall this week was way good. We
have just been working hard and trying to find people. We have seen
many miracles and have had many people tell us that we have something
different. Although they dont want to change I know I represent my
Saviour Jesus Christ. I know all He wanted to do was teach people the
Gospel and even He had people reject Him. I cant complain, I am in the
work of the Lord. I love my calling and I love all of you. Mom and Dad
I hope you have fun in Powell just sittin. Other family members that
are too busy to write me I hope you are all keepin it real and working
hard. I hope everybody is enjoying life and always remembering about
our Redeemer who is Jesus Christ. I love Him and all of you. I hope
you all have a great week.
