Dear family and friends,

Well, first off that is big news about dad and being the new stake president. So dad you will do a great job and like I said in the other email youre prepared for this calling. I also was excited because now I know that him and mom will be home for the next 9 years and it looks like dad will be setting me apart when i come home so that will make things easier haha. But anyways that is a great opportunity to serve the Lord my prayers will be with you both, dad and mom. Well this week has been an awesome week in the Lord´s work. The coolest thing from this week had to have been yesterday in Church. So what happened is that we have been teaching a family for a couple weeks and them mom and the kids have been going to church for a couple weeks straight but we have been having troubles with getting the dad involved. But on Saturday we went out to their house and we taught them and the dad decided to sit down and listen to us. At the end of the lesson we committed him to come to church and he said that he would go and he went. So the mom and dad and the a girl of 14 and a boy of 11 all went to church yesterday. And our lesson on satuday we taught them the word of wisdom and the mom has a problem with coffee but she committed on Saturday that she is going to stop drinking coffee and she is going to pray for strength to stop doing it. So this family is super awesome, and it is weird because at the first they just werent keeping commitments and didnt seem like they had a lot of interest and then we had a very bold lesson with them about getting their own testimony about the restoration of the gospel. The Lord spoke unto their hearts through the power of the Holy Ghost and after that they have been keeping their commitments and are getting closer to being able to making covenants with the Lord. So I am excited for them and their progression in the Gospel and in coming closer to God. Also things with Rosani are still going really well we are just trying to help her to grow more faith and to get closer to God too, so it has a been a good week. What I learned this week is about the same as last week, if everyone just had the same mindset as Joshua to serve the Lord and put Him first in all things then how much better off would we be as members of church and in the world. If each of us had the mindset that no matter what comes a long in our life, if we remember that we are going to put the Lord first and the we are going to keep the commandments and serve Him and others, how much more good could we do? So that is whatIm striving to do in my life and im going to strive to help the investigators here in Los Alcs to do the same. Anyways, I love you all and I hope you have a good week this week.
