MOM TIME IS LIKE A SUENO (dream), SUPER FAST.

BUENO, WHERE DO I START.  THIS WEEK FOR YOU GUYS IS JUST AWESOME TO HEAR, OTHER THAN THE SICKNESS THING (Brian's dad and I got sick after Trek), WHICH SUCKS. SOUNDS LIKE EVERYTHING IS GOING JUST DANDY UP THERE. 

YA KNOW I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT DADS BIRTHDAY, I ACTUALLY NEVER KNEW WHAT DAY IT WAS ACTUALLY ON.  I JUST WENT WITH WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SAID.  BUT THAT'S AWESOME. SOUNDS LIKE HIS BIRTHDAY WAS LOW KEY, THAT'S HOW HE LIKES IT. PERO MOM THAT'S REALLY FUNNY THAT YOU BOUGHT HIM A NEW SCORE OUTDOORS T SHIRT BECAUSE I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT HOW THE STORE NEEDS KNEW SHIRTS. THE OTHER ONES ARE DEAD. BUT REALLY I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT THIS WEEK (Kind of an odd thing for a missionary to think about.) YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE PICTURES OF IT BECAUSE, MAYBE IF YOU CAN, SEND ME A SCORE SHIRT.  I LOVE TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE BUSINESS. ITS LIKE OUR BABY. AND WOW OUR BABY IS GOING ON 2 ANOS (years). THAT WENT FAST, I GUESS IT GOES BY FASTER  WHEN YOU ARE WORKING HALF A YEAR. 

THAT'S REALLY COOL THAT THERE WAS A HOME COMING AND A FAREWELL SUNDAY. HUNTER WILL BE AN AWESOME MISSIONARY. I CANT IMAGINE AUSTIN LOSING WEIGHT.  ITS SO TRUE MOM WHAT YOU SAID, (I told Brian how you could tell that the return missionary was having to translate from Russian back into English.) ITS ACTUALLY REALLY HARD TO TALK IN ENGLISH. I TALK AND TALK AND WORK TO IMPROVE MY SPANISH THAT I AM STARTING TO LOSE MY ENGLISH. MY HOME COMING TALK WONT BE AS POWERFUL AS I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE. BUT WITH PRAYER AND FE (faith)GOD CAN HELP OUT. BUT YOU ONLY HAVE TO SAY THE TRUTH FOR THE SPIRIT TO TESTIFY TO THE HEARTS WHO HEAR IT. 

I TALK WITH PEOPLE ALL THE DAY WHO DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH US, WHO HAVE BEEN SPIRITUALLY NUMBED AND DON'T HAVE THE DESIRE. ITS SUPER HARD. I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO HAVE TO DROP AN INVESTIGATOR WHO IS ANOTHER CHILD OF GOD, BUT SOMETHING EVERY MISSIONARY AND MEMBER HAS TO KNOW IS THAT GOD GAVE ALBEDRIO, FREE AGENCY. THEY CHOOSE. AND SOMETIME THEY CHOOSE THEIR ON CONDEMNATION. WE DON'T GIVE UP. IF THE MEMBERS DO THEIR PART, AND THE MISSIONARIES THEIR PART, WITH PRAYER, MANY WILL BE BAPTIZED. 

 

WELL, THIS WEEK HAS BEEN INTERESTING. WE HAD A LESSON WITH THIS FAMILY ABOUT THE RESTORATION AND IT WASN'T THE BEST LESSON. SO WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET BACK IN THEIR HOUSE TO HELP THEM MORE. THEY FELT OUR WORDS TO BE TRUE AND ARE HIDING BECAUSE OF THEIR FEAR. WE HAVE FOUND THEM A FEW TIMES. I REALIZED THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN FOCUSING MUCH ON TALKING ABOUT FAMILIES. FAMILIES ARE REALLY IMPORTANT TO GOD AND TO THE CHURCH. WE WERE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT WHAT CHURCH IS TRUE, BUT THEY HAVEN'T NEEDED THAT. THIS WEEK WE ARE GOING TO TRY AND GET INTO THEIR HOUSE AND TALK SOULY ON FAMILIES AND THE PLAN OF SALVATION.

 

TAMBIEN (also) THIS WEEK WE FOUND SOME REALLY GOOD INVESTIGATORS. WE FOUND A FAMILY OF 20 O MAS PERSONS (20 or more persons), AND AT LEAST 13 DE LOS PERSONAS (13 of the persons) WE CAN BAPTIZE. THEY ARE SO FUN TO TALK TO AND THE KIDS JUST LOVE LISTENING AND TALKING WITH US. THEY ARE STILL NEW SO I WILL GIVE AN UPDATE ON THEM NEXT WEEK. 

MOM TIME IS LIKE A SUENO (dream), SUPER FAST. TIME JUST KEEPS GOING FASTER AND FASTER AND FASTER AND DOESN'T REALLY SLOW DOWN. DAYS FEEL LIKE WEEKS BUT WEEKS FEELS LIKE A DAY. AND MONTHS FEEL LIKE SECONDS. TIME IS FAST. WE HAVE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT AND NOT PROCRASTINATE THE DAY OF OUR REPENTANCE, ALMA 34 Link to the Scripture

MOM, GOD IS WATCHING OVER THIS FAMILY. 

I LOVE YOU 

ELDER LUKE
