I don´t think will be checking his email, but I know that you check your email a lot. This week I am senting the family letter to you. could you tell me who I should email now.

    It´s been a very interesting week. Not only with what happened with Dad but also my companion and I are being mentioned alot in the mission. President Agazzani said that the assistants and  Zone leaders and others have been talking about my companion and I. Good things, of course. But the funny thing is that we probably have the most weaknesses in the mission. But that´s alright, I know what I need to do to be better. I may not keep silent when I need to or I might say something incorrect but at least I´m not ignorant nor very prideful. We are so close to success here. It is in our grasp but something was holding us back. We now know. We were not recognizing the opportunities to teach and help the people in our path. And so that you know we talked with the people in our path but not completely.
   Sunday I taught the gospel principles class (the President of the Mission was there). And as soon as I was done teaching the recent converts and Investigadors, I recieved a blessing of peace and comfort, by President Agazzani. I was so that I would be able to focus on the mission. And as soon I recieved the blessing, it was if my soul was full and my mind was no more blind. It just goes to show that there is power in the Priesthood. And now I am more focused then ever and I long to help the people here even more.
   But so that you know, I am good. Actually I am really good right now. I know that the ward I am in right now is going to change for the better. We are going to see miracles.
      Well, the other day we found a drunk man by the name of Bartholomew. He invited us to his work/home, in a auto-shop. He told us that he wanted to hear the words of God. He then had me randomly open the Book of Mormon that was in hand and the one that was in the hand of my companion. The scriptures that we share we perfect. My companion and I were awestruck. It was evidence that the Book of Mormon is true. I was very please with what happen. The man then said, "those are the words of God!". He then wanted a copy. I don´t know what is going to happen but I hope that it changes this man. If nothing else it strengthened the testimony of my companion and I.

   I would like to see the pictures of the accident. And also other pictures. I´ll sent more another day.

     I love you all. You in my prayers and I know that I am in yours. Well, until next week, Bye bye (:

Here is somthing that I wrote to my mission president
"¡Dios es un Dios de milagros! vimos que nuestros investigadores asistieron y sé que vamos a ver aún más éste próximo domingo.
     -después 4 semanas de luchando en Monte Lindo. encontramos las personas que van a ser fiel en la iglesia, por que no estamos buscando bautismos no mas, sino conversiones verdaderas. como futuro líderes y maestros. estoy seguro en que Dios estaba probando nuestra fe y castigándonos para que seamos mejor y puedo decirle que soy differente y mejor porque Dios me cambió.
  Estábamos corriendo para participar en la Santa Cena el domingo. ahora, entiendo el significado de ella." (:

      We are going to have changes this week. Somethings are going to be different here in the mission because our president is going to leave. I am excited to see what is going to happen. This last Sunday was very good. we had 5 investigators in the Sacrament meeting. That´s not all. We have other people who will be going this next Sunday. Double the number. I was really happy too, because we helped other families attend church. One in particular, a returned missionary who is Uraguayo from Uraguay. We were really pleased to see him in the reunion. We are seeing miracles here in my area. And to tell the truth, we were not having success during the first few weeks. But we had faith and hope that if we did our best, then God would help us find those who those who were/are prepared.
----Random note: I found out that the reason for people to go inactive in the church is sin. It explains all.

      I don´t know how but the mission gets better everyday. I don´t get how missionaries can be homesick, I love every minute of it here, even when it is hard. And I tell ya, it is the hardest thing I have ever done... Ever. (-:
      Today I was setting goals and I would like to say that I now have more of a vision of who I want to be. I keep saying that, "I am not the same" I should just say that I am constantly changing and lets leave it at that.
      Yesterday I gave a talk in Sacrament meeting. I prepared my talk and the things that I wrote didn´t work out so I started to just bare my testimony. I kind of dropped the cane but with love. I felt the spirit as it guided me to said a lot of things. (one thing I have learned is to say what the spirit tells me to say)
      Speaking of being guided by trhe spirit, Elder Enriquez and I gave a blessing to old lady who fell. don´t worry, she´ll be okay. Another experience that I will not forget.
       I am focusing more on making miracles or rather make so that God can bring to pass miracles. I am sacrificing more and hope to continually do so. I am writing these miracle everyday too, in my Journal.
p.s. I am getting better with Spanish continually. I love talking in a different language. véase arriba  look up ^
p.p.s.Thanks for the photos Jolene, My favorite was when wilson was sitting on the cats head.
p.p.p.s.I think that I´ll get my package in two weeks, but I am not pre-occupied with that.
p.p.p.p.s. So that you all know is that I am very happy in the work and that I am continually becoming better in the work. And that I have all that I need and I helping do my part. I have a lot of imprefections but that will never stop me.
     I LOVE ALL OF YOU. BYE

        First things first... I thought it was kind of funny to hear that Jackie has a new cat. She always had a cat. I don´t know how many she has had now. oh well.
   Well yesterday was a day of miracles. We were in the sacrament meeting and after the sacrament, the people who were waiting outside to enter inside to hear the testimonies. A father of a member entered with intentions to "discuss" the problems that the church needed to do to support her daughter. He was talking very loudly to the the Bishopric and all the members were stunned with what was happening. Finally the bishop came down, gave him a hug and then calmly lead him to the front (by the pulpit- the place where the bishopric sits) and he sat next to the bishop the rest of the meeting. He was touched at the love the members had for him. After the meeting, other members talked with him and gave him hugs. I know that God provided a way for this man to feel the love that he has for all his children. I am grateful for this experience because the members were shaken a little on subject of the importance of helping other members. After the meeting other members talked with us and gave us referrals.
   We also taught a man in the Chapel. A man who has been prepared by the hands of God. The man is 67 years old and his wife is 38 and they have three children one is 18 years old, the other is 15 years old and the youngest 3 years old. We are here to help him with the things he needs to do to gain his own testimony.
   I gained even more of a testimony of the Atonement. I know even more that the Atonement heals. And that the only ways that God can bless us is through the Atonement and through our obedience to the doctrine of Christ e.g. Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Gift of the Holy Ghost, and to enduring to the end.

Well, I am seeing miracles here and I hope that all of you are making miracles back at home.
p.s. I am proud of you Mom for wanting to help others come unto Christ

Well I´m getting better but I still have a cough but it kind of stinks because I don´t have any medicine right now. We are going to buy some in a couple minutes. This week wasn´t too fun, but what can you do? I let´s just say I could of slept better.

Well, this week went by real fast. It´s not as hot as before but now there is a lot of humidity. Which is just as bad or worse. But that don´t matter to me. I can stand it. I don´t want to complain and don´t really have room to do so.
    This coming Sunday, I have Stake Conference here in Fernando de la Mora, Asunción, Paraguay. I will see the people from my old area. It will be very interesting to see them again.
   This week was very trying. My faith was tested. But I came through with even more conviction in the Work. I love the quote, "why do we fall...? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up". You would not believe how much God has changed me. I cannot see the old me anymore. I am so happy even though I am a little sick still, that doesn´t get me down. I am amazed every single day at how awesome it is to be here. The language is becoming easier, the way to teach is becoming better. Ever single thing after the mission, will be better because I served my Lord and King.
    When I heard that Mom was talking to the people in her work, I actually was kind of jealous. I was thinking, I wasn´t to talk to them about the gospel. I don´t know if it is alright to be jealous like that but I was. I know see why Spencer always said that he wanted to go back and that he loved the mission.
           The mission means everything to me and is becoming everything to me. All of who I will be depends on how I help others the Atonement of Christ.
    Love all you

         Wow, a year ago you recieved a call from the MTC for Mother´s Day. Mothers day will be exactly 1 year and one month in the mission.
         I will be calling with skpe again, with the screen name(checorgrizzle). I´ll call you at 3:00pm this Saturday (7 pm here). But if por some reason, if you don`t recieve a call, I will call at 4. And if not. I will then call Monday, the same hours. I will make sure that you will recieve the call at 3 pm, this Saturday.  You should probably write down things that you would like to ask me (to use time more effectively.)
 
         Did you recieve my letter? I sent a letter with pictures and other letters for other people. It should be there soon for Mother´s Day. (:

         Well, I love the mission even more. It is becoming the best 2 years of my life and for my life. I am so happy that I get to be here. Every male needs to serve a mission to become a man. There is no other way that someone can learn so much in so little time. Everyday I change and grow/develop in every aspect. I´m learning that the things I thought I knew, are different from what they really are. I learned that we are to change constantly and become better than we have been in the past. That is why Christ bled and died for us. So that we can change. We need to change. It is impossible not to change. To make mistakes and then learn from them or better yet see the mistakes of others and learn from them. And then help those who are feel that they cannot change. I learned that we do not stay the same. We are constantly changing. And the changes that take place depend on us.   "If we don´t take control of our lives, the world will shape by using what is ¨popular¨, ¨fun¨ or ¨the things that everyone is doing¨. If we take control, we will shape ourselves. We will be successful according to our effort. But if we let God take control, He will mold us into more than we can imagine. A beautiful sculpture made by the great loving hands of our Creator. We will find the highest success there is possible, we will reach our potencial that God has for us. We will become great in the sight of God, to recieve that which is the greatest of all, the life eternal" -C.N.G.

 We had a lesson yesterday. It may have been one of the most influencial lessons I ever had here. I will talk to all about it this Saturday.
    Love all of you (:

    Well first of all thanks for the emails. It was good to hear about our family. I had quite a awesome week. I am changing who I am and becoming a different person (I am constantly changing). And the work is becoming a lot more for me.
   Wednesday my companio0n and I passed by the house of an golden investigator. He is 14 years old and lives alone. (his mom is in a "care center"-she had a tumor in her head.  -part of her head is missing- and his dad is off with a woman in a different city. But his is awesome. He want to be a missionary. But anyways he said to pass by at 4 o´clock but we were delayed, with rain and another appointment. We thought we would pass by regardless. We saw that his lights were on and thought that he didn`t go to school. (when it rains alot here, people don`t work or go to school sometimes). We clapped the house but he didn`t answer. while waiting to see if he was going to answer the door. His neighbor said he wasn`t there. He then started saying, "why are always bothering people?" and other stuff like that. That is when I said to myself, if your going to be insulting me you, be a man and talk to my face. I starting walking toward his and he started to become nervious. (he was in his yard and ran to close the tiny gate). He said all sorts of stuff like "are you two stupid?" and "you idiot" and other garbage like that. All I was repyling was "no" to all those  insults, because, well, they weren´t true. I was acting as if his insults didn`t phase me, because the didn´t. He was becoming really angry with us the more he spoke. I then said, "Does your religion teach you these bad things". He then said that he was atheist. we talked more and then he angrily said that he was going to sick his dog on us. I saw that the dog wouldn`t bite us. We just watched as he opened the gate and was saying "Bite him, Bite Him!". He didn`t train his dog good enough because the dog was went out the gate and started sniffing all around to pee. And with even more anger he yell for his dog to return. And said not to passby his house. I, calmly said that we wouldn`t passby his house but with our investigator we would. We left him to be angry. But it was his choice to be angry at God and be unhappy in life.
   Antoher thing that happened was a drunk guy was talking to us in Guaraní mixed with Spanish. He said that he had a hernia and wanted to show us. He started to undo his belt and my companion and I started to freak out. I calmly talked to the man and said that a doctor need to help him. he then said that, "you can`t save me?" and then he left, talking to himself.
   Well here are some experiences here in Villa Anita.
    Last week I sent a envelope with 5 letters. one is for Our family, one is for my first companion in the mission, one is for Laine Bueno, one is for President Baer, and one for Faith (my friend from Beehive clothing). I wrote that you can read them. Could you please sent them for me. I also sent pictures too.
   Thanks Oh... I recieved the package last week. Thank you it was great.

Wow, time flies when your having fun. I remember when we said goodbye.
I want to share an experience that happened this week and which I wrote in my journal. word for word
" April 10, 2012

I said it! I said that we would see miracles! What I am about to write is amazing. 3 days ago we contacted a house because it was close to a house of a man that we contacted on the street. We clapped the house and a girl, about 19 years old answered the door with little clothes. It was really awkward and we said that we mistaken and left the house and after we said to each other, " we not going to pass by here again". We then saw a neighbor who was out side. The man said that the house we contacted lived a man who was bedridden. We then said to the man that we would passby to visit the man who was sick the next day. And we did. we talked to the wife and saw a skeleton of a man in the bed. We talked of the Book of Mormon with the Plan of Salvation. We then said to the wife that we would passby again to see how they were. (she also has problems, cancer to be exact.) And today we were in the mission office until 4:25 pm and got to our apartment at 5:15 pm and after we ate lunch (we didn`t have time before). We left the apartment and were on the street at 5:45 pm. We first went to the Chapel to see who was in seminary 6:00 pm and to see if we could help the Bishop clean the chapel until an appointment at 6:30 near th church. We left the church at 6:10 p.m. to go to an appointment. We went to the house and the father wasn`t there. We then thought to contact others and we saw a lot of people in the house of the family of the man that was bed ridden. My thoughts when to" he died". As we found out , he did. I asked a man that was sitting outside the gate. "Did Jorge die?". He responed with a "Go inside". We were awstruck. All the people the were inside let in two lds missionaries. We did not expect to be let in. We then greeted the people within. And that `s when we saw the coffin. It was a viewing/ mourning with a the catholic tradition. We then began to talk. In a group of 15 people inside this tiny house. We began to talk of the Plan of Salvation. We became empowered the Holy Ghost. I felt the Spirit of truth testify of all that was said. We taught with power and authority from on high. I know that the angels of God were surrounding us tonight. The people in the little house saw true servants of God tonight. I felt the love that God has for them
We left with the spirit testifing of the Truths that we shared. We were filled with the Holy Spirit and we than prayed and tahnked our Heavenly Father for the testimony of truth. I will always remember this experience. I now hunger for more like this one."
I Love you all.
