rock! I know this! I have seen this! even with the goofy canadian
characteristics you have, You are a rock! stay Firm in the arms of the
Savior! ALSO This Family Home Evening I WANT YOU BOTH TO WATCH
"MOUNTAINS TO CLIMB" the mormon message! I know this message will
bless you both and give you strength!! as well thank you heather for
updating me on what is going on there in the land of corn and
tractors! ha that is so great that you are working with the
missionaries with that family! I promise you that they will be forever
greatful for the missionaries that baptized them and the family that
helped them grow and become converted to this gospel! and of course
kellie! thank you sooooooooo Much for those addresses!!! I will write
them today! and I am happy to hear that the next "major project" only
took three weeks!

so this week was SOOO Great! Once again I worked and worked and worked
and exerted all my energy. What happened? Miracles! I have seen many
miracles this week!! for example we found this young man that is 20
years old! his family is less active and He has a powerful desire to
change! We have a baptismal date set with him this Saturday! Pray that
he will continue to receive strength as holds to the Barro de ferro!
(the iron rod) his name is Eduardo! I can't write all the miracles but
I thought that I might write that one! I know that The Spirit is real!
He is the barer of truth and the comforter in times of trial! the Gift
of having him as our companion can allow us to overcome any adversity!
I know that Jesus is the Christ. Through his atonement we experience
they Joy of our existence. We receive forgiveness and peace when we
apply. I have applied it. I know that it works! I feel a lot like alma
the younger when he said
 24 Yea, and from that time even until now, I have labored without
ceasing, that I might bring souls unto repentance; that I might bring
them to taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste; that they
might also be born of God, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.  25
Yea, and now behold, O my son, the Lord doth give me exceedingly
great joy in the fruit of my labors;26 For because of the word which
he has imparted unto me, behold, many have been born of God, and have
tasted as I have tasted, and have seen eye to eye as I have seen;
therefore they do know of these things of which I have spoken, as I do
know; and the knowledge which I have is of God.27 And I have been
supported under trials and troubles of every kind, yea, and in all
manner of afflictions; yea, God has delivered me from prison, and from
bonds, and from death; yea, and I do put my trust in him, and he will
still deliver me.

Love you all forever! May the Lord Bless You,
