HOLA FAMILIA!!!!!!!

Como estan?  Oh pues perfecto!  Pues la dirrecion de los offecinas han cambiado.  Y aqui es la nuevo dirreciones.

Estoy muy Feliz que mama esta mejorando.  Just kidding I am not going to write the whole letter in Spanish.  Thank you for the lyrics for Come thou Fount.  My favorite.  Well this past week was really great.  We had two baptisms yesterday.  Gavina y Daniela.  Grandma and Grand daughter.  It was so amazing.  The rest of their family were baptized a few weeks ago.  This week we saw so many blessings from the Lord. 

We were walking down the street last Tuesday and a Husband and his wife stopped us.  Fransisco and Rosa Maria.  They asked us if we could go by their house and see them.  They told us that they were having a lot of money problems because Fransisco is only working a few times a week and his last job wont give him a months worth of pay.  It was really sad to hear that because that is exactly what happened with Roberto and Anayeli.  A months worth of pay is so little sometimes here but these people need to have it to literally live.  We went by a few days later but we couldn't find them.  It was so sad because we knew that they were in a really bad situation.  We looked for so long but just couldn't find them.  This week we had, had a hard time with finding people to teach.  And we had invited so many people to church but they all declined the invitation.  We kind of got sad this week because we had been working so hard but not a whole lot was happening.  So Saturday we fasted that we could have someone to come to church that really needed our help.  About five minuets before 11:00 we were standing by the gate and sure enough hear comes walking up Fransisco and Rosa Maria.  We were so happy and delighted to see them.  I knew in that moment that because we had put our faith and trust in the Lord Fransisco and Rosa Maria came to church.  Sacrament  was all about faith yesterday.  Ironic.  I think not.  It was such a testimony builder to me.  The Lord knows us.  All of us.  He knows what we need.  In sacrament and like all day yesterday Ether 12:6 was running through my head all day.  It was amazing to see that.  But the biggest thing I learned yesterday was to never doubt.  Doubt kills faith.  Where there is doubt faith does not exist.

It really comforts me to know that our Heavenly Father is always there.  There will never ever be a time when he abandons us.  He is always listening.  He always hears our prayers. But at times the Lord tries our faith.  Because when were are in the thick of our problems  When it feels as if the world is falling Where do we turn to?  Who do we turn to?  He is there always.  He will never leave.  But it is not just when we are in these problems do we need to have the faith and rely on the Lord it is when life is great.  When we are receiving countless blessings.   We shouldn't wait for those problems.  For me that is where the true of heart is.  I love you all.  I feel the love and support from each of you every day.  I love you with all my heart.

Always and forever,
