we are precious

thanks, I feel really good here in this new area, it is also cool to see you are doing good. I really feel like this area and companion will be able to teach me a lot, it makes me feel like I am in a test, you know like a game. but more serious like  a socialist society like that lame book me and Mike read called hatched but a lot cooler, something that I am already learning now is to love the people more and do things for the right reasons always, ``obedience is the first law in heaven but love is part of the first great commandments`` that is not a quote but it is a good summary of things I have been learning, so also something cool is my prayers are becoming more cool , I mean it is easier now to have faith without thinking too much on that, there are always good challenges though. I feel really happy now thinking of the valuable things this short time and effort has taught me. So to be clear I am in an area called P I dont know why I wrote that it means nothing to you well I guess if you really want you can all look up P on Google and see it, its a small city I think, a big area for a missionary, we have like half the city or something, anyway I know the things I am learning here are important, the people are extremely important to the Lord here, I mean it that is something else, maybe one of the bigger things I am learning now is that to God we are precious so be sure to remember that in case you forget, there are many trials coming I am guessing and one for me was loving my self more and accepting the Savior. well love you all chau

faith has really strengthened me

well this week was great we had a killer lesson with Migelina, we took a tiny bit of initiative and brought her neighbor, they are friends by blessing and the lesson was way fun, this person is really open and we laugh a bit but during the Spiritual moments she seems to be understanding and during the lesson she mentioned that she wants to share the Gospel and go and help the people, it seems after we talk about baptism she always says something about enduring to the end, she is learning the Gospel, she shared some experiences with us that I can directly relate to, it was really Spiritual when she related a dream she had and I was able to testify of how the Lord has spoken to me in a similar way and the other dream she had is starting to make sense, truly the Lord is preparing people as He has said, during my prayers that night I felt that the Lord called me here to be there as a part of my life. well also something cool is I am seeing real conversion in myself which honestly has been difficult, learning day after day by faith has really strengthened me and during one of my studies I realized I have come for a really good purpose as I felt prompted to ask my self some questions about my testimony by reading the baptismal interview questions I realized how much my testimony has been strengthen, that is probably one of the most valuable things I found here, so awesome, yeAh yeeeeah yeEah well just so you know I have been receiving your letters I will respond...... in a year or so, unless I forget jk Ill respond soon. this week was a success, love you all sorry i dont have time to respond to dads letter but I read it  nobody else get injured 

We sent him a cool Lego man Light!! He got it! YEAH

Nate's companion taught him some authentic Bolivia food!

His way is better

my Sabbath day was a good.  

that is a cool story, it really makes sense, I feel like coming to Church this week was a little bit like that in the story, in the way that me and my companion felt like we worked pretty hard, and invited a lot of people to Church that said they would come but nobody came from our investigators but it was a good lesson, why, because after I was sort of disappointed for a little bit, I started thinking about what is important, especially about the future, I don't have to feel bad if other people don't do their part but that is what usually bothers me, is I never have done my part 100% I have tried but I don't quite make it so I was thinking of that a little in Church until we took the Sacrament, everything went good after that it made me feel like a little kid, reminds me of 3 ne 11 where is says we should all become as little children to enter into the kingdom of God. so that is something that was really cool this week is taking the Sacrament, in my prayers at night I was talking about that, how I can be more like a little kid, and more innocent. what is interesting is I said a prayer asking what I could do, I said the prayer before going in to the Sacrament room and the answer I got was something like "depend on the Lord" so I guess that was all I had to do, that really is wise counsel, something that I have been learning lately, it has helped me view the contrast in feelings between depending on Him and trying to solve everything by yourself, we anyway that is what I learned and I know that the Lord talks to those who really try to talk to Him but in His own way and His way is better. love you thanks for your support all, thanks for your prayers love you

faith in the people

Well this week was a good one, we have found some really cool people the Lord is really blessing us, I have seen a lot of faith in the people we are teaching and it has made me a lot stronger to see examples of people appying faith, sort of motivates you a little bit, we seem to be getting a lot better as a companionship from when we meet each other like 3 months ago, I think my companion has improved in a lot of things and we have been able to help each other a lot, I will have to tell you more about what happened this week but her is a bit

we found a guy that is really faithful that wants to be baptised and be sealed with his family, i know you have heard a million stories like this before but for him to make it to church they have to get up at like 4 in the morning or something and this guy is really awesome, in Church he already seemed to have a testimony on tithing before we even taught him tithing, his wife/girlfriend is a member and he is an example to her, she said she got sick one night and it was really hard for her and when morning came she saw her husband reading in the Scriptures, this guy starting reading the Gospel Principles book basically before we even starting teaching him.  the Lord has shown me lately some really great examples, how interesting they arent even members. I am really grateful that I am here, the Lord has blessed me a lot, I honestly dont feel like I am at all better because I have came to meet some people lately, I am trying to improve here since I got here, some days are harder than others it seems and some are just like dreams when you think about them, they go really fast but what I am saying is I dont know why now in my mission suddenly at this time the Lord has shown me two really prepared people but I know it isnt just because i took a Spiritual quantum leap, I am happy to see now a little more clearly that the people I have taught before on my mission probably did understand what I shared and there may be many seeds left in people. that was something that I didnt think about untill just a bit ago here in the past few weeks or so, but love you I know the Church is true. 

having the book of Mormon in hand has in a way given us more power

sounds like you all are having a good time. me too this week was really good, I learned a lot and my testimony has gotten better

on Tuesday it was cool we had a division, and the people we visited were mostly from an old part of our area, it was fun to learn some new things in a familiar place and see some people I haven't seen in a while. the highlights of that day would have had to be a change i saw in one person that day and how their faith really helped them get there. 

we stopped by the house of an elderly sister that would be baptized later in this Saturday. when we came she pretty much immediately started by talking about her doubts in tithing, apparently it had been briefly explained but now the day later doubts had come and we all talked about it for nearly an hour which in my part was not super wise because I ignored the idea to start with a prayer, just so confident in my own ability to explain things, after we dissected the commandment to pay tithing probably more than I had ever thought before it was time for her baptismal interview, yes exactly that, right after we explain that and she seemed to be doubting silently still we invited her to do the interview we scheduled. It was an amazing interview, my first but it doesn't matter at all, the important is that we can have the Spirit there. I can say that in the interview we started with a prayer, I felt the Spirit, I am sure she did and the doubts went away, it was amazing to see the contrast. this Saturday she was baptized into the Church and I could feel a good feeling just before she got in the water, it helped me in my testimony, so happy and I could feel how valid the baptism really was, even after, it seemed like a humble baptism and it was really peaceful, couldn't think of a better thing to happen there.  despite the drunk less active who walked in and was shouting annoying things for the final hymn. it was awesome the day of the interview because I feel like the Lord was communicating to me that the blessings and miracles come after the trail of faith and I was able to explain that a few times with the sister the day of her decision and interview. amazing that after all of the deep examples and stuff we tried it came down to her faith nothing about where her tithing goes or how we hand it in or if they had tithing the same way in the Bible's time. its all so simple. another cool thing. we have been contacting more using the book of Mormon, usually people are waiting to tell you to come back another day to basically just get rid of you when you contact them but having the book of Mormon in hand has in a way given us more power, it is like a thing you can use even after they reject you, and it often helps depending on if the person listens. just a bit ago we sat a lady sitting in the shade eating fruit so we contacted her, asked if we could share a bit and she said well I'm Catholic, or okay we said then we asked if we could share a Scripture we sort of got a o okay why not then after that we asked hey are you sure and she said, well my husband is Catholic, then we said can we talk with your husband and sure enough, he came and was super nice, invited us to sit down, talked about the Book of Mormon and the Restoration. well that is some of the stuff that happened so basically what I learned is we just need to have a lot of faith well actually a perfect faith. love you and keep up the good work 

the Savior first healed the man spiritually by forgiving his sins and then healed him physically, enabling him to stand and walk

well this week was a good one, last Tuesday was cool because we taught a couple that are investigation the Church now, they are really nice and the sister really wants to learn and progress, they both have good desires in life and we taught them the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the lesson and it went really well, I hope they actually pray and use their faith they still haven't come to Church their names are w and g, then we managed to get into another house and it was a sort of less active guy but he really does have a bit of trouble coming to Church, when I came and meet him I remember we gave him a blessing that he would heal according to his faith or something like that then in the lesson I was able to tell him he would have the necessary health as he showed his faith and came, this Sunday he showed up and it was super cool, he was able to attend all 3 meetings and I didnt expect that, he has a lot of faith in coming to the first meeting because he can only sit for a certain amount of time, he mentioned in the lesson however that he feels like he is healing up a bit. then Wednesday honestly i dont remember super well but it was a day where we got to contact and walk a lot, that was sort of the main part of these past days here, they are fun to see if you get into to someone´s house, in concepcion it seemed a lot easier, it feels like I am in level 2 here of my mission it is challenging at times but I think it is just as easy as level one because I have improved. We have been visiting members a lot lately , we have been trying to work with members more in all of the mission. now is the time that we do that, sometimes you forget how easy it may be to mention to a freind something about the Gospel, who knows if they would be interested. yesterday we were just talking with a really great member who was a little reluctant to give a pamphlet to her freind and I was just thinking that I would have been the same if I were not a missionary, i would not have realized how much easier it is to accept a pamplet from a friend that says hey this is a really cool thing that helped me I thought you might want to take a look at it. instead of listening to a missionary that looks like he is trying to sell you something and convince to come to Church. anyway  yesterday, was really awesome we have meeting some of the goals we have set as a district and it is rewarding for me to see that many came on their own , without us having to invite them I dont think i would have wished for a better way of them coming, when they take initiative, that is another thing they are talking about in the mission, take initiative, and it is interesting how important that is in missionary work. so I think that is a fair enough summary of what has happened this week also I have grown in my personal testimony as well, I am constantly working on no doubts it seems but the help always comes as I turn to the Lord in faith, He has never let me down and I know that He lives and that the Church is true. I know that faith is essential in having a strong testimony, you can see all the miracles you want and with out faith deny what light you have.´´ in Mark 2:1–12, four faithful friends lowered a man with the palsy through a roof to be healed by Christ. In response to this act of faith, the Savior first healed the man spiritually by forgiving his sins and then healed him physically, enabling him to stand and walk.

´´When we approach the Savior in faith, He is anxious to bless us with even more than we seek. The man and his friends may have requested physical healing, but a loving Savior, knowing the man’s heart and greatest needs, granted what was sought and more. He will do that for us also if we are not of little faith.´´

. well I love you guys have a good children´s day and keep on serving and stuff, I still rember a lot of the service that was done for me from years back.
