July 30 #BLESSED

This has been a crazy week. Well 2 weeks actually because I totally skipped on this whole writing a letter thing last week. But Im glad to say that we had success this past weekend in having 4 baptisms. The names of these persons are Viviana, Juanita, Diego, and Sergio(Checo). They are all quite awesome, and I am grateful for the chance that I had to be a part of their lives. Im excited to keep working with them and their families to bring them to the light as well. The life of a missionary is sometimes you have several hard months and then we change and being to have success. Im so grateful for the change at this point in my mission.

My life is kind of in a weird spot. The mission is all I can remember, and its all I look forward to at this point. We have just been working so hard, that its so deeply impressed in my head at this point. I just need to serve the lord and those around me. I love the lord, he has saved my life. And he helps and supports me daily even when Im always sick. He helps me push through and try to help other people. I hope that all of you can give a little bit to the lord, because I can testify and promise that he helps us in all things when we give him a little bit more of ourselves. 

My spanish has finally hit a weird point. I have a hard time thinking straight in english. My grammar is all messed up, and I sporatically use spanish words, because I´ve forgotten the english equivilant. Its nuts to get to this point with another language. I still have so much more to learn and to apply before Im truly fluent, but I feel pretty good with my language at this point. 

I love you all and am grateful for your support and letter.
