WOW! WOW...what a day.
We have already been to the Temple! Here are some pictures! The one sitting next to me is Elder Yates...a really good friend from Alma Rosa.

Elder Nelson`s talk was amazing...not just that.....but with him and two others of the seventy present, Gary Coleman, Wilford Andersen, there was a very strong spirit there. Very strong. He made a really cool relation...that how a story in the Book of Judges of the bible...there were 300 soldiers against an army of 150,000....which means 500 people for each person. Guess what...it is the SAME ratio today! 14 million members against 7 billion non members...in other words...500 investigators for every single member...even those in the primary...cool huh?

Jorge and Altagracia....well...we have all of their papers....but the problem is still money. THey are willing to sell their tv...and so we have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off today trying to find someone to buy it....we couldn`t though...we had a member taking us around in his car...but nothing. They said that they are going to eat rice by itself for this next week to earn money. RICE BY ITSELF. SO they are making big sacrifices. So anyway...just pray for them. I have no idea if I will be here for their baptism...but I know

I will be coming back for their sealing. The new pres is from Puerto Rico!
Love you so much! Thank you for your prayers!
GO to the Temple often! DON`T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED!!!!

I´m doing great! Marisol'sdaughters went to church this week...but she didn´t...that broke our heart and we will probably put off her baptismal date until the 26 to get her to the church 2 more times. Ilkania will be getting baptized on the 19th...as far as the family of 7....I´´m not stressed out of my mind...but definitely concerned....we need his birth certificate for them to get married and his home town is by haiti...so that is a lot of money to travel. His brother still lives there and comes here a lot...and so he has called him to see if he can take it out and then bring it over. PRAY!!!
...If you are wondering...I absolutely love my mission. I already treasure it with all of my heart. I have learned principles and lessons I could not have learned anywhere else. This Gospel is true. This is not just a pretty church...It´s the true Church...no matter how many people say it isn´t. We are blessed to know such things...and will be held responsible for how we share this with others! It will depend where we are in the eternities! Stay strong...I thank you and Dad for always being steadfast in the Gospel and always going to church...even if it may include a nap or two ;)
Stay strong. Love you all!
Love youR MIssionary Son
