"Do you love your family?"

I love that point you made and that revelation you received about

having the Light of Christ.  It's no small task to accomplish this in

it's fullness. Yet I testify we that we can accomplish this. And it is

through our faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement. And through his

atoning sacrifice we are not only forgiven from our sins from our

sincere desire to change, but we can also be strengthened beyond what

our physical capacity can comprehend or achieve. You may be down or

disappointed for your one hour of underperformance, but let me tell

you this. You are an exceptional women and even better mother.  You

and dad have taught me so many valuable and important things that I

have been able to apply on my mission. Along with little simple things

that helped me greatly as well (cleaning, cooking, eating healthy, etc.).

I am grateful for all of you love for me and even more than showing it

to me, but showing you love unto our Father in Heaven who has truly

blessed our lives in more ways than we could ever imagine.

I'm short on time but here is a little update of this past week.  The

families we are teaching that were basically thrown into our laps (all

of them) are developing so well, they never cease to impress us if

their desire to learn more about the gospel and feel f his love in

their live more fully. 

One of our investigators went up and bore her

testimony in church! We also have been working on giving the baptismal

invitation in every lesson and it is showing a lot of success!  There

was one man whose wife had been baptized and their family is on

different levels of spirituality. His wife had been receiving the

lessons and received baptism, but he never committed to anything. And

to talk about certain people come to spirit in a certain way to unlock

the hearts of certain people.  We were talking with him and the lesson

was aimed at the daughter who is really close to accepting baptism,

and like I was a mouth piece I almost out of the blue asked him two

very inspired and simple questions "do you love your family?" "So do

you want to live with them forever?"  After he said yes to both, Elder

Taylor invited him to baptism. He said yes! We didn't set a date, but

he said yes to something we never thought he would!

The spirit has been working very strong with the people we have been

teaching, which is just what we want because it means that these

people are becoming converted unto The Lord and not us as

missionaries.

Love you guys!!!!! La iglesia es verdadero y nos ama mucho!!!!!
