Dear family and friends,

 

Well I am glad to hear that all went well with grandpas funeral. It sounds like it was a very spiritual event, I wish I couldve heard the talks and Elder Summerhayes promises from the Lord, I bet it would have been great but mom and meg feeled me in pretty good. So its good to hear that all went well.

 

Here in the DR we had a pretty good week, we now have got a wedding date set for Ana. She will be getting married on friday the 18th and will be getting baptized on the 26th. Her son will be coming over from the east mission and he will get the opportunity to baptize his mom, so it will be a very special experience for them. Ana is just great and is super commited to what she has now put her mind to. She even payed her tithing yesterday and she isnt even a member yet, she has showed me true faith and devotion and has been one hundred percent comitted to everything since we conctacted her, so I know she will be a great member of the church and is set on having an eternal family. So I am really excited for her and for this big step that she is taking in her life. We also recieved a reference last week, and it was this guy named Martin, he showed up to church with his girlfriend, who is a member, and then he came up to us and asked us to start visiting him. So on tuesday we had our first lesson with him and we set a baptismal date with him in that same cita and he accepted. Then he showed up to church by himself yesterday, because his girlfriend is in a different ward, and then we shared with him yesterday. In the lesson he told us that he had prayed aobut what we have been teaching and then he explained what he felt after he prayed. He explained the fruits of the spirit and we told him that it was the spirit that was telling him that these things are true. He said that he knows that they are true and that he wants to learn more and keep feeling the peace and the happiness that he has been feeling lately in his life. So he is a super cool guy and I hope that he can keep moving forward and work so he can be ready to make covenants with God. So all and all it has been a great week, we are just trying to find the chose people here in Los Alcarrizos. Life is going great and i am enjoying this time that I have to serve the Lord. I love you all and I hope that you guys have a good week this week.
