hello from here down south! I was happy to hear from izzy kellie and Dad! ha no sadly dad I have not been to the temple yet! It is in our area and is about a thirty minute bus ride away! I really want to go! we shall see. there is a couple who is getting sealed in our ward and they help us in the work! they want to go with them so we shall see! It is good to hear that my invitations are not falling on deaf ears! that is awesome that you went out with the missionaries dad! does anyone else have any cool experiences?   Spencer and kellie the basement flooded?? Is the love sac okay? ha just thought I might ask! And Izzy I am happy that you got your letter finally! 

well this week has been a little difficult. I have been very frustrated with the leadership down here. numbers numbers numbers. It has caused a tad bit of discouragement, but by they end of the week I have received peace and comfort and I simply just need to do the work! Work Work work. Complaining does nothing! I simply need to continue to love the people that we are visiting, have the spirit teach, and be bold in extending commitments!  I will just work. work with the charity and diligence that the Lord has Established through his example! I know this is his work! I know that  all may know him through the "spirit that bears witness with our spirit that we are child of God." this week I would ask you all to pray for lucianne to feel ready for baptism! pray that sonia may continue to apply the atonement in her life. bless mercedes to continue to progress toward baptism, and bless mylena that she will act by faith! I know that through praying by faith can work miracles! I love you all! I hope you all can have your own daily dose of the spirit! May the Lord Bless you!
