5 months out!

My Beloved Brothers and Sisters how grateful I am to write you all about the wonderful mission that I am serving in right now. 

So this week was fantastic!! On Monday we had a family home evening with a group of families about the proclamation to the family and the importance of the family. The following day was slow and a little difficult, but the end of the day we had a powerful lessons with a family and two of the three agreed to be baptized! Were really hoping and praying that they will be ready and that all will go well for this date. Then on Wednesday we had our activity with the ward the Mega Family Hoe Evening, which if I might say was absolutely fantastic! We gave the message on the Plan of Salvation and it was so sweet the feeling in the chapel that we felt testifying of the plan that God has for his children. The best part though was the amount of investigators that were at the activity! We played games after the message and we played "Chubby Bunny" or here "Conejos Gordito" the members thought it was hilarious. On Thursday not too much passed and then on Friday we watched Meet the Mormons!!! I was so glad because as a zone we were able to watch it and my Brazilian Elder Matos came to Zacatecas and is in my zone! On Saturday though was very awesome. We taught some investigators, but passed with less actives also. Toward the end of the day the spirit was so strong and we found man on the street that contacted me and he wants to learn! That’s about it sorry its short, but I am so happy here that it’s amazing.

So my message for you all this week is something that is absolutely important to all of us. God. This week I had been thinking a lot about my relationship with him and what he exactly has done for me in my life. I came to the simple conclusion that this is what he has blessed me with: Life, Family, the Gospel, and the ability if I choose to do so live with him in the eternities. With him in the eternity as an eternal family. Something that I learned this week is that all that he has given me is eternal...Think about it. The things of God never end and if we follow the things of God which bring us true happiness then to will our happiness never end. Life’s not easy, but when we put things in an eternal perspective in that if we follow the plan and the things which are forever we have no need to suffer, but to rejoice in the fact if we follow firmly in the gospel that one day we will be with God and Jesus Christ for the eternities with our families. I love God and the knowledge that I have that he is eternal and that all he has given me, family, the gospel, a testimony of the savior and the opportunity to be with him after this life, is also eternal. Of this I testify in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Love You All!!

Logan's Patriartical blessing has a section that talks about his going on a mission and if he should choose to go the people there would be praying for him to come, so when he sent this picture it just kind of made me laugh a little!!
