Well Hello!!!
Hope all is well where you are at. Here its pretty
crazy!!!! I just came back from an activity with my zone and ya its been a
pretty crazy day!!! tomorrow i get privileged with a new companion and
well i am supposedly his last companion in the mission. So that's cool and well
i might be privileged in four weeks with a new companion from the united states, its going to be a good four weeks with this Elder and then he is done!
(Just a little bit of bragging for Jaymes) As missionaries we make goals and well I
just talked with the Mission President and he told me that wow!!! he has never
seen such success in a new missionary like me he told me to keep it up and said
he was thinking Elder Picuasi was doing good but when Elder Picuasi told him
that "No its all My Companion, he has a goal in mind and just takes off with it".
He then said, "President He told me that when you said to try for a baptism every
week he took it to the next level and said as Nephi I will go and do!" My companion and I are doing well and
its the last day today. And well I am so glad to say that I will go and
do! Baptisms 4 weeks in a row!!! wahoo!!!!! the Picture is of Teresa
a 13 year old girl who followed Christ and entered the waters of baptism on
none other than a day known as Valentines day! isn't that interesting she was baptized by here
cousin Magdiel and she is just doing well. Her mom who just needs to be married
to her spouse is being baptized this Saturday! so its just been an answer to my
prayers and its been just a great experience to see them change.
I have really
seen how Christ has used me and my companion and the people of the branch as
his hands. I read a talk that is just about that its entitled "You are my
hands" It is a great talk talking about the way we should help the work of
god through doing something. I actually am glad that i read this because
yesterday President Aguilar a counselor in the Branch Presidency asked me to
speak so i did and spoke about this Talk and mostly about how faith without
works is dead so ya. It was a good experience and well i was glad that the lord
gave me the gift of tongues to help the members understand what i was talking
about. so ya this talk is actually one i remember quite clearly. i am here to
tell you that all of us are the hands of Christ by our examples. It shows us
how Charity never faileth. the pure love of Christ is what we need to share to
the whole world. We are the hands of Christ on the earth and we all are
missionaries. I know that through our hands we can change the world one person at a time!! just remember that one person can
start the chain and change the world. so do it! I know this church is true
and I know that by us doing what we can to reach out our hands we can change
and lift people to the heavens to live with the master! i am in Moroni 8 I love
the Book of Mormon!!! It is for sure the only true book and i have found that
through reading I open up my mind to the people that really need the message. I
love this Gospel!!!
I hope you have a great week!!! I will for sure because
the only way is up!!! we progress and progress and I will do my best. one thing
i have seen this week is the way the gospel changes peoples attitude as well.
one 17 year old young man is so exited for us to come over and teach and he just
runs to us when ever he sees us its is awesome!!!
Have a great day!!!
Love you all!!!!
