Quick Check In

-
Lots of awesome experiences lately! Rubén and Pierina were baptized! Fun Asado with my good friend President Moreyra, miracles, and learning how God works! I feel extremely blessed. I love the gospel. Learning and knowing Jesus Christ and his love for God´s children, as well as the infinite love that God has for us is something I will cherish forever. The refiner's fire that is the mission is sometimes tough, but I am forever grateful for my mission service for the Lord. The gospel changes people for good. Weekly and daily spiritual experiences are so important. Email me! I love and miss you all. I hope you are all doing well physically, spiritually, and mentally.

 I LOVE LOVE LOVE when Luke starts out our Monday discussions with "We saw miracles this week!"  I love when he recognizes the Lord's hands in the work! This week Luke and Elder Childs had a discussion with a couple named Jonathon and Milagos (sp?)  They are a young couple that is not married and they have a baby.  He is 21 and she is only 18!!!!  Wow that is young!  They started out and Jonathon was really interested but Milagos was not so much.  In fact she left during the discussion.  A little later she came back and they were in the middle of reading the Book of Mormon with Jonathon.  Suddenly she came in and joined in on the discussion.  Luke said it is another testament of the Book of Mormon!  She really opened up to them and as they were reading in 3 Nephi 18 they were talking about the sacrament and Sacrament meeting, they found out that her parents were taking the discussions but never got baptized because they weren't marr...

  What a fun surprise to have Elder Rose call me for my birthday!!! I was at Kim's house having a little birthday breakfast when he called so he also got to say hi to some friends :)  And then he called later in the middle of the Homecoming Football game and so I couldn't hear him at all.  In fact we played charades a little bit.  I was trying to read his lips :)  It made my day to talk to him.  Man I love that boy!
