Importance of Baptism

Hola Familia y Amigos
  Calidad cousin Jazlynn!!! I'm so excited for your decision to be baptised!!! Out here I'm trying to help people do the same the thing that you did but you did it when you were really young so you can enjoy of those blessings your whole life. These people out here didn't know how to get those blessings and so Im trying to show them the way that they can do that. I'm super happy for you, you will feel the blessings of this in not only your life but in your families life as well. But satan is still going to try and tempt you so you have to remember to keep praying and going to church because thats the way that we can get help from our father in heaven. I love you Jazlynn I hope that it was a super spiritual experience.
   This week has been pretty good for Elder Losee and I. We are focusing a lot on the members in our ward and helping to clear out all the people who have moved out and all the new members who have moved in. It's a work in progress but we are doing our best to clean up the list. Unfortunately almost all of the lessons we had set this week fell through so a pretty slow week as far as teaching goes. We almost had a temple visitors center trip set up with Crystal and Antonio but they canceled as well. So as far as lessons go this week it was pretty slow. But we were able to do a little bit more knocking which helped us find a couple more people than we did last week. We were able to find this one lady name Yisera who was amazed that two rubios que son altos podrian hablar en Espanol. We started teaching her the restoration and it turns out that she already had a BOM but had not been able to read it. We told her what the book was and she was so excited to read about our Savior coming to this side of the world to establish his gospel and church.
   Well something cool that will be happening in about a week or two is that we are going to be singing in a Spanish fireside on august 5th up at the visitors center. So today we have to go to a rehearsal at 4 o'clock with all the other missionaries that are singing at the fireside as well. Hopefully it turns out good. Anyways a funny story from this past week is last night me and Elder Losee were walking to our next appointment and we saw this guy with a broom stick he was swinging it around and then he saw us and came running up to us. I was like ready to whip out some Karate kid crane pose on this guy because I thought he was coming to hit us. Anyways he didn't hit us but he was mumbling and then out of nowhere he just asks elder Losee for one of the pamphlets that we had. He gave him the pamphlet and then the guy turned towards a car saw his reflection in the window and said thank you sir god bless you and then he ran away. So you just never know what your going to meet on the streets.
   Tell Nathan Felizidades y que espero que ha aprendido mucho y que reciba muchas bendiciones de su servicio. I love you all so much thanks for all the birthday letters and packages again. Hope you all have a good week!!! Les amo mucho.
