A QUICK WEEK

¡Hola! Hey so sorry for not writing last week, the time just flew by during the internet time. Actually this whole week has been flying by. Well, there is much to tell to start. This week we went to the temple with Wadimir (he got baptized my second week here) we went with him to go and do baptisms for the dead and it was a great experience. He loved being inside and really felt the spirit strong. We all did, it was great. He has got his face set at the temple and sealing himself one day with his wife. Which is a great goal. Also this week we were walking down the street one day and as we passed by a park we found Octavio and his family there so we talked with him for a while. He talked about how he has felt the spirit really has been working with him leading him to want to better his life to change the way he is doing things. He says he wants to set goals and wants to start from zero he wants to leave it all behind. I felt what it talks about in the scriptures about the joy in the heavens over the one sinner that repents. I felt so happy to see him with the desire to change his life. He wants to start over from zero and set his face to the temple and one day seal himself to his wife. I felt so happy to hear that and I know he can do it I know it.

This week sadly Hermano Amigo has been having a lot of problems with acholo we have tried to visit him a few times but every time he has been out drinking. It’s so sad to see his progress get so halted by it. It just goes to show that when we choose to come closer to god and make the corrections we need in our lives Satan begins to attack harder. If you in your life are trying to do things better and come closer to the lord and then suddenly things get a lot harder, don’t be surprised cause as we come close to the lord Satan works harder against us. We must be prepared. when we deiced to do things for the lord ( come back to church, accept a calling, go on a mission, whatever it may be) be prepared for what will come because the way will not be easy nor the blessings imitated. We will pass though trail after trail just as the people in Lehi's dream passed though there mist of darkness. that does not mean that the things we have started to do is wrong it does not mean we need to stop it means we must have faith fight harder pray harder and work even harder for the lord if we do that we can pass though these trials. 

I hope we can all work a bit harder drop our shoulder a bit lower and if we do I promise we will a be more happy more able and a lot closer to our lord and savior. I send you all my love and I hope you have a great week. I attached below some photos I know I have been a bit lazy in sending them lately sorry.
