<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Letter to all:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Well this is the last
one. I´ll start with what happened in this week then I´ll write my epistle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This week I was on
divisions for 3 days, it was weird to be away from the area for so long but
Elder Mann needed to be in the area because I´m leaving. I had the privilege
to learn from others, teach others, help companionships that are struggling.
It was good. And Tuesday we were in Managua all day until 6. So I
was only in the area for 2 full working days, but I worked hard those days!
Tuesday night we found 16 new investigators for Elder Mann, which was
good because we were needing new investigators! Saturday and Sunday we
found a lot of new people. We put down several baptismal dates and I feel
we left the area off pretty well for Elder Mann and his future companion.
Sunday we had a great experience, but it started a few weeks back - the
story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We were walking down a
street looking for people to contact and Elder Mann, said I felt something,
lets go back and contact in that street. We contacted 2 houses, they
didn´t want anything. We asked a little old Catholic lady for a reference
of someone who was passing through trials and she told us about her neighbor
Juan. Juan is 16 he lives alone and is kind of a kid of the street but he
has a house. Yet it´s empty there is
nothing but a light bulb and a cage of pigeons in his house. There was a
strange feeling in his home as we went to contact him Sunday. We talked,
we asked him a couple of questions. He told us that he wanted to change his
life, he wanted to repent of his sins and be a different person. We
talked about that and about the importance of baptism so he can have the full remission
of his sins. He accepted a baptismal date for May 31st. I pray
Elder Mann baptizes him, I know he´ll get baptized!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">It was a good last week,
we worked very hard these last two weeks! We found 30 new investigators
this week! And we put like 8 baptismal dates! It was great!
I´ll be praying for these people back at home so that they can get
baptized!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I gave a talk Sunday on
the importance of serving a mission, my last talk. I thought the other one was
my last but they had me talk this week! A member brought a new family to
church, some of his friends, they stayed for the full 3 hours and they were
amazing! During the sacrament I felt a very special feeling, tears were
starting to bubble up in my eyes. I felt a grand feeling of gratitude,
that a new family was there and that I still had one more Sunday in Nicaragua.
I felt very grateful to have had the opportunity to serve here, to grow
here, and to learn from others here, to come unto my Savior here, Nicaragua will
always be a sacred place for me. It will be tough to leave my family here
in Nicaragua. I hope to return as soon as possible so I can see all of
the people I witnessed get baptized.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The mission has changed
my life forever. No one can understand how and why it changes your life
until you serve a mission. These have been the best 2 years for my life,
I know that without a doubt. I wish I could just go hide out in the
mountains and preach the gospel to Indians haha! But It´s not my mission,
it´s the Lords, he says it´s only 2 years, so it shall be 2 years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I have learned so much
in so little time. 5 main things are the following (it´s what I talked
about in my last talk)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">1. To love God and to do
his will<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">2. To love my neighbor<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">3. One´s life changes as
you serve the Lord and forget about yourself<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">4. One comes closer to
Christ, realizes that he needs him a lot, and learns about the great power of
the atonement<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">5. That It´s a privilege
to serve a mission<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">If I would have never
served the mission I would have never realized my true purpose in this life.
Many people now days try to change God´s plan for them. Many people
don´t understand why the Lord wants us to serve a mission. I can tell you
that I didn´t know exactly why I had to serve a mission before I served, but I
knew I had to do it, I knew that God wanted me to do it. God uses these 2
years to save us, to mold us, to make us a true disciple of Jesus Christ.
No other experience can give you this grand change in so little time. It
is my prayer that all consider serving a mission, asking God if it his will
that you serve, if you do it with real intent he will say YES! I testify
that God lives, that Jesus is the Christ, because I have felt them by my side,
I have seen miracles, I know they love me. I am glad to say that I served
a mission. I share these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Well this one won’t be
so long, but that last one will be pretty long I guess. This week was
great. We worked very hard, and as a result of our hard work we found many new
positive people who are in need of this gospel. The area is filled with
new people now for Elder Mann to teach and we will continue looking for new
people. We found 2 great new families that I hope will get baptized later
on!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The Lord always rewards
hard work in the mission field. President Russell always says that in
this mission whoever works will baptized, it is simple as that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Sunday I will give
another talk, I plan to talk about the importance of serving a mission as a
full time missionary and in your own town. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We had a small zone
activity, it was simple, we rented out a pizza place for free and we had a good
time together and we ate nachos and pizza. The owner was born in
Maryland! But he came over here to have a more family centered life, not
a work centered one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">SURPRIZE!!!!!
Baptisms!!! Wooooh! I didn´t expect it either! Pedro
and Karla got baptized!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">But first I´ll talk
about the interview that we had on Friday then about Pedro and Karla. So
Friday I had my interview with President, it was short. He basically told me, don’t think about your
home, don´t make plans there is plenty of time for that after the mission, just
work hard in your last weeks. Go to the temple when you get back and the
Lord will take you by the hand. That´s the exact revelation I received in
conference in one of the talks. I feel happy to be here still, I´m
working hard still! Today at 5 I´ll have my last interview with the
president, so I´ll let you know what he tells me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Pedro first!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We were worried that he
wasn´t going to pass the interview but we decided to have the district leader
do it and he passed it, but we hadn’t planned the baptism yet. But the
sisters in the ward had one already planned, so we came over Saturday morning
and we told him, Hey, it’s your baptism today! He was fine with that.
It was last minute but it was a miracle!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Karla was a bigger
miracle. Oh hey I forgot to tell you that she´s pregnant with her second
son, he´ll be born in September! Anyway... We went to visit her
Saturday to follow up on some things we had taught and to plan her baptism for
the 19<sup>th</sup> of April. We asked her, what time do you want to get
baptized? She said ummm, we´ll see, I´m not too sure. She was iffy
about her baptism. So we told her, well come to see the baptism today at
7 and we´ll talk about the time for your baptism. She said, can we talk
Sunday? Okay then.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We started leaving and
we walked half a block away and her husband Keyler, yelled, “Hey Elders come
back!” So we went back and Karla asked us, ¨Can I get baptized today? ¨<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">OF COURSE SISTER!!!!
So we called the district leader to hurry over and interview her, because
the baptism was only in 2 hours, we found a dress and we did everything last
minute and she got baptized too!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">It was a miracle.
It reminds me of something Laura told me last week, ¨Just work super hard
in your last weeks, don´t worry about anything, I remember than in my last
weeks I worked hard and I saw a lot of miracles in my last weeks of the
mission.¨ Well I can say the same!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Hello everyone!
Well, first of all Karla is doing great I believe she is going to be baptized,
she came to 2 conference sessions! So that makes me very happy for her
and her decisions she is taking to grow her faith and to come unto Christ.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Conference was great as
always! So many great talks but little time to talk about them.
Right now the talk I am remembering is the talk Elder Bednar gave, that
parable about the firewood was great, he always has a parable like that and I
always know what he´s going to say haha. But I love his talk, I received
special revelation in that talk. We need to have a yoke in order to be
happy! Christ´s yoke! Always remember that!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This week I´ve been
putting down more baptismal dates, in our area and in other areas. Two days a
week I´m not in the area. It´s kind of weird putting dates for days I won’t
even be here but I still feel good doing it and inviting them to commit to God!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Well this week went WAY
to fast. I`m having a lot of crazy emotions now, my companions say I`m
acting like a woman haha.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">But whenever my mind

to focus again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Karla and Pedro are
progressing very well. My goal is to baptize 3 people this month, so just
one more needs to progress to make the goal. Karla is reading the Book of
Mormon a lot more and she stayed for the 2nd hour which she had never done
before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">They got baptized!
Wooooh! My best birthday yet! haha! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The baptism was great,
the spirit was very strong in the baptism. Everything turned out all right!
We gave Gustavo and Wilmer time to give their testimonies after the
baptism. Wilmer´s testimony was powerful, he is such a great example for
me. Friday a bunch of Catholics came to visit him and a ton of friends
were sending him messages telling him he was crazy, he grandma didn`t want him
to leave the house. He has had some great trials of faith. But he
was willing to take his cross and follow Christ. The trials will continue
but I know he´ll be strong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Wilmer and Gustavo also
got the priesthood on Sunday. And this coming
Sunday Wilmer will be blessing the sacrament and Gustavo will be preparing it!
Almost all of the young men that are active here are converts, It´s
pretty cool to see the faith of these kids.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I had a good birthday,
we ate cheese cake, we took funny pictures, they tried to break an egg on my
head but I caught them haha! On my companion’s birthday we broke and egg
on his head, Elder Mann turned 21 on the 18th. And now on the 4th of
April, Elder Agustin will turn 19! We all have are birthdays together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Karla is progressing,
she´s reading the Book of Mormon more. We
read Alma 32 with her and we explained how she can grow her faith, but also if
she didn’t read or go to church she was going to neglect the growth of her
faith.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a couple days and he´s been to church 4 times now!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Marta is excited once
again to get baptized and she´s coming back to church, we just have to teach
her more and she´ll get baptized too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">So, we should have at

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Wow...another week
passed by! It flew by so fast that I don´t even know what to write.
Let’s see what comes to mind....<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Well first off, I gave a
talk in Church on Sunday, probably the last one as a full time missionary.
I talked about The Atonement and Missionary Work, based off a quote from
Heber J. Grant I believe, I´m not sure though...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I studied the examples
of the book of Mormon prophets such as, Lehi, Alma, Alma the younger, Zeezrom,
Enos, and others. I learned that many were sinners before they were
prophets (or missionaries), but they received the remission of their sins.
And that immediately after being forgiven they began to pray for their brethren
and for the Lamanites, and then they went out to preach the gospel unto them.
So I asked a question, ¨If we have repented of our sins and we don´t help
another person to repent as well, have we really repented?¨ I truly believe
that a part of repentance and our personal conversion is Missionary Work.
Alma would have never have become the great man he was if he had never
preached the gospel, baptizing thousands of people. I enjoyed giving the
talk. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Later, on Sunday we met
with the Bishoprics of the stake (something we do every month), we talked to
them about how the missionary work is going in the zone. Then later we
made some great plans for the missionary work in the stake. We committed
all of the Bishoprics to baptize a friend on May 10th and to get the future
missionaries to do the same. It was good, they also gave us the fifth
Sunday in March to talk about Missionary Work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Wilmer and Gustavo came
to church. They are doing great! We are going to baptize them on
the 22nd!! Woooh! My birthday! 2 future missionaries baptized
on my birthday! That´ll be the perfect gift!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Wow, another week.
Well it´s begun...my last change in the mission. I don´t like the
thought that´s it´s the last change, but It´ll be the best one I´m sure of it!
Wilmer and Gustavo are doing great, they are going to be baptized.
Marta, Cristian, Karla, and Pedro came to church as well! So we
should have some baptisms lined up for April as well. My goal this week
is to find a great family to baptize April 26<sup>th</sup>. I want to see a big family get baptized!
So, I´ll be working on that! I´m super happy that Wilmer and
Gustavo are getting baptized and even better on my birthday! YES!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Saturday and Sunday we
had an Area Conference. Saturday it was just with the stake. Some people
who were going to speak didn´t show up and so the stake president had me give
my testimony. When I stood up everyone started giggling because I´m so
big compared to everyone. I got up to the pulpit and the mic didn´t reach
up high enough to my mouth haha! Everyone laughed so I decided to make a
joke out of it. So I said, ¨the mission has made me a very ´big´ person,
everyone had a good laugh! But I got to see a lot of people from Nandaime
there! So I gave my testimony and I testified about the joy it is to
preach the gospel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Our zone brought 50
people to church this weekend, that was great! It was a huge success,
everyone was happy! I´m glad that together we are all having success, we
want every companionship to baptize. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Well this week was
another great one! 5 people came to church wooooh! Karla, Wilmer,
Gustavo, Jorge, and Pedro. I`ll tell you about each one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">- Karla: Her husband is
a less-active but he`s a great guy. The Elders were visiting them before,
but they didn´t want to get married. But on the 14th of February they got
married, so we decided to start teaching them again. Monday we had a
great Family home evening with them with the Bishop and his wife. They
came to church! So hopefully Karla continues to progress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">- Wilmer: Wilmer is awesome!
He has had 3 experiences testifying to him that he needs to get baptized!
He`s been to church 2 times, maybe we`ll baptize him on my birthday!
1st experience he had a dream that we brought him something with a white
cloth on it and we said this is a gift from God (Book of Mormon). 2nd another
dream, of him being baptized by Elder Mann in the font. 3rd he prayed to know
if the Book of Mormon was true and yesterday in Sunday school he said he prayed
and received an answer that this is another gospel of Jesus Christ.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">- Gustavo: He`s a 15
year old boy that I contacted, turns out his dad is a member. He wants to
get baptized. We taught him about the restoration and we left him with
the pamphlet and told him he needed to pray about it. He told us in the next appointment that he
did it and he felt something beautiful when he asked God!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Things are going great,
we are going to have an activity on the 8th of March to teach all of the
members how they can be missionaries. On the 9th I`ll be giving a talk.
It`ll probably be my last one as a missionary...that was what the bishop
told me haha.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Nathali got baptized!!
Woooh! It was a great baptism, it was very reverent and peaceful,
with a steady feeling of the spirit. She was so excited for her baptism.
I know she`ll remember this moment always! The sisters in the ward
baptized as well. (Not sure what Elder Willden means.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Sunday, two

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Things are going well,
the only problem we are having is that it´s hard to take care of so many people
at the same time, we need to focus more on those who are more positive.
We need a better balance. I know that the Lord has many blessing in store
for us, because we are putting forth all of our might!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Elder Willden wrote a sweet note to his mom this week: <span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">So the other day I was thinking. Every time I give my dirty
clothes to the sister in the ward I feel bad for them because I know it´s a lot of
work, and they have to wash by hand. I realized that I should have been a
lot more grateful with you because you always washed my clothes! Thank
you so much! For everything. I love you! (Thankfully I never washed clothes by hand!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;">Oh man! This week
we worked super hard. We are finding a lot of new people. Nathaly
is going to get baptized this Saturday! On the 1st Marta will get
baptized! Things are going great. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;">We all get along well,
we are all happy and filled with energy to work. And we come home super
tired but content. The Lord is blessing us for our work and obedience,
many hearts are being softened and many people are desirous to learn. But
they still won’t come to church, just Nathaly came. So we need to focus
on getting people to church this week. My companion talked with Cristian
yesterday when he was on divisions. She still wants to get baptized but
the whole wedding thing is a stumbling block. But I know she´ll get
baptized soon. We have a lot of people with baptismal dates for March.
Hopefully we´ll baptize on my birthday (the 22)!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;">I´m truly happy, it´s
joyous this work of the Lord! I love it, I´m still learning and growing
and working on being better every day. I want to teach Elder Agustín
everything I know, so he can be an excellent worker and missionary. I
know he will.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;">On Thursday we had a
great lesson, it was with Keyler and Karla. Keyler is a less active and Karla is an
investigator. We sang a hymn and we prayed and I felt the spirit, as we
prayed I felt I had to talk about the Holy Ghost, even though we had something
else planned. The lesson was powerful! But for some reason they
still didn´t come to church, but they did get married this weekend so that´s
another step towards baptism.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

tons of contacts. We contact about 30 people a day and we have about 8 or

found new positive people and 2 people are getting close to baptism.</span><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>

Nephi 32 to many people, specifically verses 3, 5 and 9. They talk about

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This week was great.
2 days this week we had to go to Managua but the rest of the days went
well and we had success. We have 2 new investigators that´ll get baptized
this month. Marta, she fell in love with a member and they got married in
2 or 3 weeks! It was insane almost! But she has a strong desire to
learn and to get baptized. She has a baptism goal for February 22. Also a
less active family decided they want to be active now. They have a daughter named Nathaly who´s 9
and she wants to get baptized, so she´ll be a little present for us ha-ha!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

came to visit the mission. We were able to listen to him for about 4
hours, he asked questions and we asked him questions and it was completely led
by the spirit. It was great, I was truly fed. He talked about a lot
of things, the language of the mission as well as the language of the spirit.
He talked about the importance of having a constant prayer in your heart
24 hours a day. He also talked about eternal marriage because it was the
oldest group of missionaries he taught. I learned a lot, but there is
little time to share, sorry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">27 January 2014<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Letter to all:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Well this week was good
and sad at the same time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Good because Elder
Soarez (of the Presidency of the 70) came to visit the 2 missions in Nicaragua.
He was acting under the apostolic keys of Elder Cook. It was great,
I learned a lot. He spoke about how we need to represent the Lord well. As missionaries we are not here just to be
good missionaries but to represent Christ well, to do and say exactly what he
would do. He also pronounced an apostolic blessing upon us. I
really learned a ton but I don´t have the words to written down what I learned.
The 2 mission presidents spoke as well with their wives and Elder Ocha
and his wife. Now it´s time to apply what the spirit put in my heart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In district meeting this
week, 2 sisters spoke about diligence, that it´s not necessarily doing things
more frequently but doing things better than before. Then if we completely
fail, we will get up and do it even better the next time. God doesn´t
really care about the things we have done, but what we are going to do right
now and forward. He watches our every step and he knows how much
diligence we put forth. This message was very helpful for what happened
Saturday night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Saturday night we went
to visit Carlos and Jackalin, they told us that they had decided not to get
baptized. We talked with them for a while, he wanted to do it, she
didn´t. We invited her to pray on her knees and to ask God if she needed
to get baptized tomorrow. When she asked the spirit was strong. She
even told us, I feel peace, and I felt a power as she prayed. But seconds
after she had said that she said but....It´s just not time yet. Then they
said they are thinking of going to her parents’ church. It was one of the
saddest moments of my mission. It anguished my very soul to hear these
things and so see them reject a clear answer from the Lord. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We´ll keep working with
them to see if we can save them from this and get them baptized later on.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sadly that just how it
is sometimes, God cannot rob us of our agency, no matter how hard someone prays
for another person. But we can have hope that later on they will realized
their need to come back unto God. I know I have learned and I am learning
from this experience, it´s saddening though.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Cristian came to church,
she is doing very well, and she told us that every time we come to visit her
she feels at peace. She told us that that´s the second sign that
God has given her. She wants to get baptized, the only problem is that we
need to get them married.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This week, Elder Amado
will be visiting the mission. I hope this week will be a great one!
Every week is good and every week I learn. We just got to keep at
it, and be diligent!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

Carlos and Jackalin. We had to be very persistent to get Carlos and
Jackalin to church this week .I guess Satan got to their heads and they didn´t
feel like going. But we got them there, we said, “No, no! Stop
washing, we’ll do it, get ready!” So my companion started washing clothes
while I started to hang up the clothes to dry. Jackalin couldn´t stop laughing
at us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

we asked them how they were feeling about gettin baptized on the 26<sup>th</sup>? They
were iffy at first, we began to help them and the members that were with them
they bore their testimonies and it helped a lot. Carlos is ready and sure
that he wants to get baptized. Jackalin was saying well...I don´t know...
But I know they´ll be ready and they’ll get baptized Sunday morning. They
told us that they have felt a change in their life since they began to know
this gospel. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

that happened when Chelsy (their baby) was healed. I told them that this experience was evidence
that these things are true. I asked them how they felt after we gave the
blessing to the baby. They said that beforehand they were very worried
and angry one with another. But after
the blessing they felt calm and they had faith that she was going to be healed.
I told them to always remember this experience. Then when doubt or
worry comes they can remember this little miracle and know that they these
things are true and they need to get baptized. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">2. We had a great
experience this week. It started with a contact my companion did when he
was in divisions. The family didn´t really want to talk to him but they
did the contact and schduled a day to come back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

we only talked to her and it turns out she’s a less active member.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

there. I´ll tell you what he told us in the lesson.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Imprint MT Shadow'; font-size: 12pt;">“On January first I was praying to God, telling him how I wanted
this year to be the year that I change my life completely. I asked God to
send me someone to guide me. And boom, that same day you guys talked to
me in the street.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Imprint MT Shadow'; font-size: 12pt;">Later I prayed to God and said, God if these are the ones you sent
me, put them in my path again. (My companion was on divisions in another
city and this man just happened to be the one driving the bus back to San
Marcos.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I invited to him to be
baptized right after he said that, for February 8th, he accepted without doubt,
even with his wife there saying, “but to get baptized?!” He just said, “Yes,
I want to experience this.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This week was great!
Christmas, Skyping the family, going to the Christmas Mission Activity.
It was a great week! President talked about 10 gifts we must
develop as missionaries, based on a talk by Gordon B. Hinckley given to
missionaries in 1995. It was great. Sister Russell talked about
diligence and developing talents and sharing them. So I am going to be
focusing on these things in the last months of my mission, so I can be the best
I can be to help people to accept the gospel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This week I was reminded
of something Bryan had told me. ¨When you drop an investigator, the Lord
will bless you with another one that´s even better.¨ The new family that we found the other week
are going to move to another city in the Zone, we were bummed about that.
I told my companion, don´t worry the Lord will give us a better family.
And that´s exactly what happened. A family came to the ward
Christmas activity the 28th. Juan Carlos and Jackalin They liked the
activity a lot, they came even though their baby girl was sick. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Then Sunday they came to
church! They asked for a blessing for their daughter as well. I´m
very excited to see how this great family will progress. We hope for them
to get baptized January 25th. Pray for them! As a zone we are
sending a list to our families of people to pray for at home and in the temple.
Put their names in the temple prayer roll please!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">What a great week.
It truly was yet another week of miracles and testimony builders.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">First off, we went to go
visit Jackelin and Juan Carlos early this week and we found out that their baby
girl was 100% better! Her skin was normal and her allergies had gone
away. They were even more receptive to our message after this. They
are progressing very well and they are willing to do all they can go get closer
to Christ. The only thing was they didn´t come to church this Sunday...
But I know they are still on track to get baptized.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">The other great
experience had to do with Cristian. She´s an investigator we found in a
less active family member’s home. It´s family to complete. She´s 17
and about 4 months pregnant. We came to visit her Saturday and she was
sick. Her blood pressure was high and she was not doing so well at all,
you could see it on her face. We explained to her a little bit about the
priesthood and we explained to her that we have this authority to give
blessings and we asked her if she wanted one. She accepted. My
companion did the first part and I gave the blessing. Shortly after we
left.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">Sunday she was in church!
And she liked it a lot. We talked to her later on Sunday and she
told us the experience she had that Saturday night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">She said as we were
giving her the blessing she didn´t feel our hands over her head. Instead
she said she felt a warm hand move across her head. She said she
immediately felt better. Later that night she said she was happy, healthy
and doing everything she´d normally do if she were of good health. It was
a true miracle. I know that Christ healed her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">What a blessing it is to
have the priesthood power upon the earth! 2 great experiences I had this
week with the priesthood!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">Juan Carlos, Jackalin,
and Cristian could all see this week that the priesthood power is real.
As a result all of them have told us they want to get baptized. I
haven´t really thought of that before, that using the priesthood can also help
people receive an answer pertaining to the truth of this gospel. I
testify that this power is real, and that God loves us so much that he has entrusted
us with this power. I was asking God for a miracle this week, a miracle
for my investigator and he brought them forth!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">I marvel sometimes so
see how quickly this priesthood power can bless the lives of people. I am
week, I feel incapable as a disciple of Christ, but I know I have been called
of him and I am on his errand. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">I encourage all of you
priesthood holders to think about what you have and who you are. And then
to go and bless others with this great blessing God has given you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">So this week was better,
we have been working hard to find new investigators. We did a missionary
activity with the ward. Where we put up tables in the park with movies,
pamphlets and copies of the Book of Mormon to give away. We had the
members take a bunch of tickets with them and they went out in pairs inviting
everyone to come over to the tables and get their Christmas presents.
Between the 4 of us missionaries there we had 268 contacts in an hour and
a half. We got the house directions of many of them. It was a great
success. We just have to follow up now with all of these potential
investigators. All of the members loved the activity and they want to do
another one like it! We are also inventing new ways to get investigators
in the zone, we are going to polish shoes for free in each park within the zone
with our mission leaders in January and see what results we get.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">We are really trying to
think up of new ideas for better results in the zone. I pray the Lord
will give us fruits for our efforts. I know he will.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">We are teaching a new
family, a family of 5. The parents are called Saida and Lester. It´s a
good family they seem positive, and they have a baptismal date for January
25th. In the mission now we put baptismal dates 5 weeks ahead and we are
always focusing on who can we baptized this week and in the next month.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">Hopefully we can get
teaching all of these new investigators and have great spiritual experiences
together. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">I wish you all a Merry
Christmas! Read the December Ensign, especially the message from
President Eyring. It is so important what he teaches us about Christmas
and what presents we should give to others who don´t know the gospel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Well, I´m sure you´re
all wondering, ¨Did he have changes? ¨ Yup. I got changed to San Marcos,
Carazo. My companion is Elder Velásquez from Guatemala. He has 18
months in the mission. My companion is a good missionary, very obedient,
and he knows what he´s doing. So we
should have some great success together. I´m about to have 20 months in
the mission...wow. I´ve been assigned as a zone leader. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">San Marcos is nice and
cool, good members too. It´s the biggest
ward I´ve ever served in with an average of 130 members attending. In the
zone there are 20 missionaries, 8 elders and 12 sisters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Our area is well....lets
just say there´s a lot of work to do. We are making a lot of plans for
our area and our zone, to hasten this work. We want to do things that missionaries don´t normally
do to get investigators. For example on the 7th we are going to go to the
park and polish everyone´s shoes for free, while others are writing down their
names and information. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

how the next week goes. Tomorrow we are going to a meeting at the
president's house, so that´ll be interesting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Well this week was a
great week. Why? Because, we baptized! Damaris was baptized
Saturday! What a great experience to see her get baptized! Now that
makes a family, Ronald and Damaris, the first family baptized here for quite a
while! I´m very happy that she decided to take this step, in the end she
understood most of what we had taught and felt like she needed to get baptized.
We had Hermano Juan do the baptism, because there´s a new rule in the
mission that missionaries can´t baptize.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Also a member who was
excommunicated finally got the okay to be baptized. Sunday he asked me to
confirm him, he´s going to be an awesome member he was a missionary, and he
knows a lot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Also a new member came
to the branch, he´s from Costa Rica, his name is Bismar. He has been a member for 13 years. So he will be a great support for the branch,
maybe he´ll be a counselor. The branch is going well, now we are
maintaining about 50 in church as an average.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Let's see what
else...the members have been working with us more and more, and we have been
having great lessons companioned with the testimonies of these members, we want
every investigator to have a friend in church.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The new family Felipe
and Felipa have a baptismal date for January 25th, he is catholic but open to
listen to us and ask God about it. He said, "But I have faith that I
was baptized and there were witnesses." So a member explained how he
was catholic as well and he had doubts about getting baptized again. The member also explained how small children
are not capable of sin. Then we told him he needed to ask God about it,
if he should get baptized. He said, "I´ll take your advice."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We had a good lesson
with Wilmer and Flor. We read 1 Nephi 3 with them because they haven´t
been reading on their own, we read a part about why is was so important to
obtain these records, then I gave them an example. I asked Flor, ¨let's
say you want to write your mom a letter, but the government wants to capture
you for something you did and you put your life on the line to get this letter
to your mother. Then she gets the letter and throws it away. How
would you feel? ¨I´d feel that I am not important to my mother", she said.
Then I told her, the Book of Mormon was written for your great, great,
great grandparents and when you don´t read this book, they feel the same way.
They understood well, and committed to read the Book of Mormon more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;">Where should I start, let's
see... Well Felix and Maykalin are back together now. Thursday we decided
to go over there and see if Felix would be there, we showed up at about 8:40.
Felix has a stable job so he was
not there. Maykalin told us about all of her problems and her biggest desire is
to get her children back. Some people
have accused her of doing things to her baby that she says she didn´t do.
She does admit she does have some physiological problems and wants to
look form help. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;">In all her life she has
had very few good experiences, terrible parents than never taught her the way
toward happiness. She told us she wants to change her life completely and
to no longer have this hatred towards the people who have harmed her. We
told her that Christ is the way she can overcome this and that through the
miracle of forgiveness she can forget about the past, forgive others and
change. We shared Alma 7:11-14 with her and after reading that she asked,
so when is the next date for baptism. Excellent! But first you need
to get married I told her. The only obstacle is that she doesn´t have a
birth certificate, but we know what to do to get it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;">Wilmer and Flor are
doing alright, he´s doing better with his word of wisdom problems. But they didn´t come to church, so we taught
them about obedience and how putting God before everything will bring them
blessings. We shared in 3 Nephi 13: 33
and D and C 130. They understood that they aren´t putting forth their
part and they recommitted to another baptismal date.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;">Damaris is doing great
she´s going to get baptized this Saturday! She just has to pass the
baptismal interview. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;">We also found a new
family that is very positive, Felipe and Felipa. Did they plan that haha?
He told us the other day, I like how you guys teach, you aren´t like
others, you don´t come and tell me that I´m lost and that my church isn´t true
because of this this and that. You just come and share the truth with us
and ask us to pray about it. He is catholic, we taught him the restoration
and he came up with stuff about how the Catholic Church and their line of authority
but we just told him how he needs to pray and ask God. He understood well
and I know he´ll pray. He is always intrigued with every pamphlet we give
him and he loves them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;">At church 53 people
came! As a district we brought 10, not bad for a branch! We are
getting real success here. The activity
that we are doing is really functioning and getting people animated to help us
with the work. One member who is a little less active brought her
boyfriend Claudio. He is very positive and has excellent questions. She helps him out a lot, we taught him about
the Book of Mormon, how it came to be and why it´s important to us. Then
we asked him, now, why would it be important for you to read it and according
to his answer he understood very well. The
only problem is that he lives in Managua so we are going to send the reference
over there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and see how this work is moving forward here. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a pretty good Thanksgiving as well. We actually ate turkey! Turkey, chicken, mashed potatoes, rolls, soda, brownies, and ice cream. Not bad for out here, I´m surprised the Zone Leaders could find the turkey and brownies. But the brownies turned out bad, they were like jello haha! The ice cream was super crystallized as well, but over all it was good!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">¨Rain with sun, lucky day!¨ <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">That´s a saying
here. So Saturday night we decided to go visit Felix, we hadn't seen him
for about 3 weeks, and there he was. When we showed up he said that
phrase. Lucky day, when you find people you don´t expect to find.
He´s still going well, he´s still getting over his problems.
Hopefully we can get him to church next Sunday, he has a job now and is
working a ton.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Wilmer and Flor
didn´t come to church because they has a commitment, but Flor is doing
well. She has begun to defend the church
when other friends talk bad about it. Wilmer
still is drinking, and I´m pretty sure he does marijuana too. But we had a powerful lesson with them.
We asked Wilmer how he was doing with the word of wisdom and he said badly.
We kept talking and I felt I had to share Alma 22:15-18 with them.
Then I invited them to abandon their biggest sin, so that they can have
this hope they desire and so that they can know God. I was very bold with
them but they understood well, hopefully they will apply it to their lives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Genaro came to
church, we had been teaching him for almost 2 months and he finally came and it
turns out one of the member is an old friend of his. So today we are going to visit him with the
friend. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Also Wendi and
Isaid came to church, they are new investigators. They are friends of Cyril. We had always gone to the house of Cyril, but
he was never there. Turns out he´s
outside of the country. So we decided to
talk to them more, and we taught Wendi and Isaid and they came to church that
next Sunday. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">In church 52
people came, we had 3 investigators and the other Elders did great with 9
investigators! After not having investigators for 2 weeks they had 9. I told them to be patient, one of the elders
in these weeks told me he didn´t want to be here anymore. I just told him to be patient and he´ll find
people ready to accept the gospel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">President
Russell came to church as well, he gave a talk about the importance of being
founded in the restored gospel. How we
shouldn´t be like those trees with shallow roots and that fall when a storm
comes, we should have deep roots into the gospel so we fall not. It was
good for the members to hear that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">A lot of members
are looking to help us in the work when we started this activity- Best Branch Missionary. It´s going to be a great success. We
are starting to work as a team, things are flowing, and the mission leader is finally
going to meet with us. The members are interested in visiting the people we are
teaching. I´m very content, president was very happy to see the success.
I just hope it will continue when after I´m gone. I´m going to do the best I can to leave my
area well off for the next one who comes by.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The other week I
wrote and asked the president if I could open a new area. He talked to me on Sunday and he said,
"Sorry, 50 Elders are going to leave soon and only 30 are coming in. So actually instead of opening areas I´m
closing them." Kind of a bummer but,
oh well. He said, ¨maybe you´ll finish the mission in Santo Tomas.......I
doubt it.¨ <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Also where we
eat lunch the guy is an excommunicated member, but he´s going to get baptized
Saturday! I blessed his baby. I´m so happy for him, he will be a
great support for the branch now!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">This week we did
a little sightseeing and we had some good, good food! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
