 “Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33) "What great happiness this knowledge should bring to us. He lived for us and He died for us. He paid the price for our sins. May we emulate His example. May we show our great gratitude to Him by accepting His sacrifice and living lives that will qualify us to return and one day live with Him." President Thomas S. Monson




I can´t believe that the time is flying so fast. I just want to do as much as I can before I go. Yesterday, our investigator said that it would be better that he be baptized when he is 18.  He loves the church but his father does not. That seems to be the theme here in Paraguay. The people here want to hold on the their traditions more then God.

       2 Nephi 33
 2 But behold, there are many that harden their hearts against the Holy Spirit, that it hath no place in them; wherefore, they cast many things away which are written and esteem them as things of naught.

 3 But I, Nephi, have written what I have written, and I esteem it as of great worth, and especially unto my people. For I pray continually for them by day, and mine eyes water my pillow by night, because of them; and I cry unto my God in faith, and I know that he will hear my cry.
 4 And I know that the Lord God will consecrate my prayers for the gain of my people. And the words which I have written in weakness will be made strong unto them; for it persuadeth them to do good; it maketh known unto them of their fathers; and it speaketh of Jesus, and persuadeth them to believe in him, and to endure to the end, which is life eternal.
    I am keeping busy with the Arnolds. We are finding a lot of less active members. I feel that we are going to be very successful this last change. I don´t know what is going to happen this change, only that we are going to have 2 more missionaries in our branch. How exciting is that? I don´t know what is going to happen but I do know that is is going to be great.
   Sorry this letter is short. I was looking for a talk on lds.org but could not find it. Oh and it is alright about the money. I understand. I just hope that all is well and you are all happy like I am.
   Today we have to move apartments. We are moving one floor up in the same building. We also need to help the other missionaries move. ( they also are going to have two missionaries in their area.
    


I love you all. Hope you all enjoy your week.


I know that in the end, and the good will be triumph because Jesus Christ has overcome the world.
