Well family it was great to hear from Mom and Dad this week! I am happy to Mom that there are some many youth going to the temple! WHOO! Also I am happy that the photos I send of those who have been Baptized bring you Joy! I know that I it brings my Joy that I have helped the Savior bring one more soul unto him! as far as cooking.. haha we never cook! We always make like a banana shake in the morning, and always have lunch with members. haha and on special occassions, like after a baptism, we buy pizza at night. Laundry we have a washing machine but as of right now it is a little broken so we are washing our white shirts by hand. haha But Life is Great here!! I would ask pray for francisco and his family! (the one more door man) Bless that they receive answers as they pray. Pray as well that IA (eeeaaa) and Eliza can be baptized this sunday! 

So I will not lie this week was extremly difficult. It has definitly been a week of the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. But We were able to see leticia baptized!!!! She has been the most Elect Person I have ever taught. When we invited her to be baptized she responded, "vou!" Or I will! "She then said "I prayed alot and I Just know this is right!" She is 21 and has a 5 year old daughter! That was the Highlight of my week! I know that through all the oppostion we faced this last week, it was all worth it! this morning I was reading in the Book of Mormon in Jacob and Jacob said,   7 Nevertheless, the Lord God showeth us our ^aweakness that we may know that it is by his ^bgrace, and his great condescensions unto the children of men, that we have power to do these things.

I know our trails show our weaknesses and that only through the Atonement of our Savior can we really do his work! I am thankful for this Opportunity to be his servant. I WOULD NOT trade this time that I have for anything. Our time is valuable. use your time to serve him! Forget yourself and put him First. I know that our Savior Lives! He Loves us. I know now more than ever that our Heavenly Father does "hear and answer every childs prayer." He is our father and LOVES us! Hope to hear from vocês na próxima semana! Elder Bell
