Well as for this week i will see what i can type super fast, after this im headed over to our dls house to check out the package that came in for meh ;) so im pretty stoaked for that! 

 

  Well this weeek was a rather long one, we wer anticipating the confirmation of Sara all week long, and that tends to strain me a little bit becaaue i kike to just get that stuff done and over with so these great people can begin thier eternal progress.  I can descibe that hapiness i felt when sara was confirmed, and i cant begin to type the story of how for she has come since we started teaching her.  SHe is really happt yo have found the one and only church verdadero.... so that was a great way to start the testmonty meeting, then 3 of my converts shared thier testimonies in the meeting, and exressed thier gratitude for the missionaries for finding them... yea not even a hurricane could have wiped my smile off during that i felt so overwhelming ly blessed.  I cant begin to describe all of the great blessings God has givin me in this area, it makes all the suffering in others areas so worth it i love this area and its going to be a really sad day when i have to leave.  By the way Dad i already talking with Rubin about coming back to go fishing her on the rio papaloapan, he has lived her emost of his life and most people her fish and the fish by harpoon, so get in shape because you have to hold your breath a while to do it but we are gonna come back some day and fish with ruben and eat Tacos de mojarra!  THe member we with lived operated on her eye at the beggining of the week, she did some laser surgery so that she didnt have to use glasses, but it takes about a month to recover, so we have been helping her out with that.  TOday we went and sepnt a good 4 hours painting the house of a lesss active member who was the first brnach president here, we are hoping to activate him in hopes of helping him and animating the branch.  He is a good guy and the branch needs his priesthood.  SO it was good to go back to doing good ol har manual labor.  Fidel has to wait untill sabado because he smoked again we postponed his baptism from this last saturday to this next saturday.  And we have also made a goal with a younge couple named levi and jessica to get married an baptized the 22 of this months.  SO that means that we are going to have to do alot of running around to get the marriage all set up, and they dont have ay money tso that means me and my comp are probably gonna have to pay for it.  BUt its a sacrifice thats worth giving them a chance at salvation and the brnach could use thier young energy. More than anything LEvi just needs to get a job so he can get things in order, levi his 4 months older than me and jessica is 19.  So nothing extreme, but they alreay have a kid so they gotta get married.  Last night a little sad story happened wiht the recent convert Daniel, apparently he has a long struggle with a drug called pierdas or rocas something like that, it somethilg like mith i think, and last night he didnt come home its its very probably that that is why.  It was sad to see Guadalupe struggling becuse of this.  ANd its maked me sad to see my dear frined Daniel struggle with somthing so powerfull and destructive.  I know he can overcome it.  SO hpefully he doesnt feel overly ashamed for doing this and will come home.  WHen we see him i thik we are going to talk about sending him to a rehabilitaions center.  Im not exactly sure how to respond to the situation but i know i have to finde a way to help him.  I cant let a friend struggle like that especially when he has so much potencial for the church.  me and elder Peñare are going good, today we super cleaned the house again.  I cant stand to have a dirty house, especially a dirty floor, so thanks mom for that habit.  We are getting along fine, we dont really talk much, most of the time im thiking about what to do for the area.  All of the members here say that im going to be one of those misisonaries that gets married really fast when i get home.  I dont even talk about marrage, they just say they see it in my face.  SO who knows what that supposed to mean.  Im to youngs for that.  BUt life is good.  Juest really doing the best i can to give what i have left to muy mission.  I have given my life savings to my missiona nd every thinkg i had before has gone to my misison, exept a few things under the stairs, well things that should be under the stairs.  SO I really am working on giving whats left to the lord, my talkents my heart and my mind.  IT certainly feels good to be a missionary and im already crying because i know the day will come when im a misisonary but in a different form.  Its way to fun helping people change and become who they are supposed to be.  I hope all of you reading this are reading the book of mormon eery day and saying aminumum of 2 prayers a day.  Miracles will happen in your life f you do it.  I sstill pray for you ALL so please dont sptop praying for me, i certainly couldnt go a day wihtout your help and support, it means the word to me.  I love you all and hope your week passes fantabulously! BE a missionary, share the love! THe call to repentence is and expression of LOVE!
