26 Sept. 2011: Luque Week #7 (Final Week in the Field)

Dear Family and Friends, 


I cant believe this is the last letter I will be writing, this week has been great I have had a wonderful end of my mission I and have learned so much. This last change has been great for me, and I really felt that the Lord sent me here to amparo with elder Roeller for a reason and know that the Lord knows me personally and knows what I need, I also feel that I was sent to Amparo and that I am leaving it better than it was when I got here, I also know that God blessed me with the opportunity to return and visit my converts from Aregua, Last night I got to go visit Osvaldo and Adela and also a family that me and E Eliason started teaching that were baptised shortly after I left. They are really an awsome family too that have great testimonies. It was so much fun to see them all there again after so much time. I was able to leave them with my testimony of the chuch and of the happiness that  comes from keeping the comandments. I was greatful for that opportunity and know that it was a blessing from the Lord. 

I am so excited to see each of you I have missed you alot and I am sure we have all change in some ways, I hope you will notice a change in me that     that I have learned so much about the gospel about the atonement and about myself. I will greatly miss my mission and the wonderful people I love here. I have so many friends and families here. They have treated me so well. It is an emotional rollercoaster to finish the mission,. 

I want to save stories and pictures for this weekend But do want to leaver you with My testimony that I know the church is true. I know that Christ lives that he is our savior and redeemer. He love Each of us and thanks to what he did for us we can be free, we can feel joy, we can become Gods and be exalted in the celestial kingdom, I have felt the truthfulness of the book of mormon. I know it is the work of god I have learned so much about His gospel and his love by studing it. I have found comfort, strength and happiness reading it. I know god answers prayers I have seen the lives of many change just by reading the Book and asking god if it is true-  I love you  and cant wait to see you ELder Call   

Mom, other info, first off I really dont care what we eat for dinner anything will be good I dont want anything fried though. I will be at the mission home all day Wendnesday, and today I have my inter view. Love you mom.

19 Sept. 2011: Luque Week #6

Dear Family and Friends,  I had another great week, we found some good new investigators and brought five of them inchurch,  I feel that the branch is getting better now, we had those first few weeks I was here that were full of so many problems, but I feel that they have strengthened me and the other members of the branch. The attendance is rising weekly. It has been tough for me to come here to amparo and leave all of the people from saldo and the success there but I know that the Lord sent me to Amparo for a reason. I learn alot from elder Roeller hes a good missionary and always positive and animating. I am greatful to finish my mission with him. We had some special changes in our zone and since Wendsday I have been with elder Roeller and Elder Patterson. Elder Patterson is from Canada and is Elder Humphreys` best friend from back at home, its cool because we are great friends.  I am not sure we sill have a baptism before I go, because the girl that was close, needs m...

Dear Family and Friends,         Thanks for your letters this week. I am doing good and the week passed by really quickly. It is really starting to cool down a bit here in Paraguay so that is nice. It is crazy that it will basically be cool the rest of my mission. We are really excited for Sergio and Ever. Sergio blessed the Sacrament for the first time yesterday and did great! he was also called or assigned to be like an assitant to  the Secretary of the ward So that wil be good. Ever I am sure will bless the sacrament this week to come it is awesome to see that they are getting so involved and and that they are doing so well. Ever got his sister to come which was a great sign for us his family is opening up a lot they still arent progressing really toward baptism but they will come around, His mom is really catholickind of I guess she knows alot and doest really practice any of it. I am excited to see what happens. The members are helping alot r...
