Family, Friends, my Father, and all you other Fools,
Firstly
Happy Fathers Day to my dad, you are my favorite dad I have ever had
and I am not just saying that. Thanks for being such a great example to
me my whole life. Someone please go give my dad a hug for me.
This
week was one of the best if not the best week I have had in my mission.
We are seeing a ton of miracles and success here in Poza Rica. I think
the biggest reason we have success because it is so hot people are
begging us to get in some clean cool water. Another big reason is that
Elder Noble is the best comp. Someone go look up his mom and drive to
arizona to give her a giant high five for raising this guy.

This
week on tuesday we had a multi zone conference with president and
hermana greer and it was awesome. President taught us a ton on how to
better utilize the Book of Mormon while teaching and it really helped us
this week to get people closer to their baptismal dates.
Wednesday
I did divisions with my zone leader Elder Mota and we found a bunch of
people in his area that are soooo cool. He is one of my favorite
missionaries in the mission and knows how to work hard and enjoy himself
at the same time. I learned a lot from him.

The
rest of the week we had a ton of success in finding new investigators
and met the goal we had set for the week. Yesterday in church we had 7
investigators and the other missionaries in the ward had 13 so we had
like double the people we normally do!! Yesterday Lucila, who is getting
baptized next week, brought her mom, Diana, and her little sister,
Gabriela. Diana and Gabby have a baptismal date for july 19th.
We are also teaching this lady named maria de jesus and she just has to
get married and she can get baptized. We found a super awesome family
this week. The moms name is Matilde and her daughter is a member but we
also taught her other two sons and her mom, yail, abraham, and eloina.
They are awesome as well and Matilde was able to go to church yesterday
and has a baptismal date for july 19th as well. This area is killlller.

This
week in my personal study I was studying the role of Reflection in
recieving Personal Revelation. As I read through the book of mormon I
found many examples. Nephi when he recieved the vision of the tree of
life was "pondering in mine heart" the words his father had spoken. Enos
had reflected on his past transgressions before his wrestle with God,
DyC 67 is another example, Joseph Smiths time immediately proceeding the
first vision, another. When we read the holy scriptures, or the words
of living prophets, and then in time ponder what we have studied, that
is often when the Lord reveals many things unto us. I have seen this and
bear witness that when we reflect upon ourselves and how we may be
better, we humble ourselves, and when we humbe ourselves we allow the
Lord to reveal many marvelous things unto us.
Funny
stuff that happened this week, we found about 10 HUGE cucarachas last
week in our house as well as a bunch of spiders so we asked our neighbor
for Raid, they said just leave your door open and the lizards will come
in and eat em. We now have about 3 lizards in our house and havent seen
any cucarachas. Well played mexi-gyver neighbor.
Have a great week guys!
