"THAT's PRETTY NEAT"

First, I have the best companion ever. Second, I have the best companion ever. This week we have been learning and teaching each other new phrases in Spanish and English. My companion now knows how to say "That's Pretty neat", "Nature walk", and "This is an aspen, you can tell by the way it is"  I feel like I have really fulfilled my purpose as an amazing companion. I still burst out laughing every time we walk by a tree and she says, "This is an aspen. THAT's PRETTY NEAT" She is the best companion. HERMANA PAREDES IS SWEETEST! She also made some Peruvian food for me and two other hermanas this week. She is wonderful.

This week we had some amazing miracles. We have 4 people on date to be baptized and this weekend we should have a baptism for a man named Miguel  He is the one in the middle of the picture below. We taught him about temples this week and He LOVED IT! I am really excited to see him enter into the waters of Baptism this weekend. He has gone though a lot in his life and he has had some amazing faith by jumping all into the gospel with his whole heart, might, mind, and strength. 

Some updates on our recent convert Miyito :) he wanted to be a missionary this week so we took him out contacting with us and these are some pictures of him walking towards us from forever away. When he finally got to us he was so tired and he said, "Being a missionary is a lot of work! WHEEW I am tired!" But he went out and walked with us for 3 hours and helped us talk with some of his family and cousins in the area.

We also taught Miyito how to tie some Ties :)  (The best that we could) These ties were donated to him by some amazing members and it has really made him feel like he is loved by the members in the ward. This is what it means to have no poor among you. We had a lot of fun taking pictures with are new tied ties and A quick shoutout to all the friends in high school and cousins in my life that taught me how to tie a tie. I know it is not the best and I probably did it wrong but now Miyito has some pre-tied ties an he comes to church looking pretty snazzy 

 

There are always so many things to talk about and so little time. But we have seen miracles and it is good enough to say that when you ask for something from God he will give it to you if it be through faith in Jesus Christ. He really is looking out for the people here in Puerto Rico but the people here in Puerto Rico are looking out for each other and this is how we are seeing miracles. The ward members and recent converts are really stepping up to get ready for the temple in Puerto Rico. They will have a temple but now they must fill it with people. 

When was the last time you reached out to the missionaries to see if you could help them with a member presence? or when was the last time you shared your beliefs with someone who has not heard of the Gospel or doesn't know how much Heavenly Father really does love them. 

I really do love the people here. I would encourage people to go on a mission if it is an option for you. It is worth it. But it is also worth it to live the gospel. Please live the Gospel and LET Heavenly Father bless you and give you the peace that comes with living the Gospel. 

The Church is still true. Heavenly Father still loves his children. GO FIGHT WIN
