HIS BEST TWO YEARS

Behold, I send you out to reprove the world of all their unrighteous deeds, and to teach them of a judgment which is to come.....And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up.

Hello Again This Fine Day-Nov. 14th

What an interesting week its been.

first with the bad news.

it rained again. it rained a lot to. Friday, it started around 8 or so in the morning and it didn´t stop until 7ish at night. so that means that we got wet again. and it was wet, cold, and it was bad because there wasn´t many members here, but i will talk about that a little bit ahead in the message.

And the second bad news about this past week, was that it was actually really hard week. Me and my companion don't get along as well as my other comps. and we didn't have much success with investigators at all either. and of all the people we invited to come to church, not one of them came. not even the 3 we were almost positive would be there didn´t come. So i will a little down the truth.

BUT BUT BUT BUT,

i am really happy and i will tell you why,

even though the week was hard, i have a lot to be thankful for.
1. we have a special visit from a general authority this week, that is going to be really sweet. no idea what he is going to talk about but it will be good
2. this week our ward went to the temple. normally we have about 70=100 people come Sundays. so when i saw the buses leave with 72 members from our ward. i was soo happy. also 2 familys got sealed, and 4 people received their endowment. one that is going on the mission in January. wow i felt so happy. Those that have passport or visa to the USA go to the temple in san dieago. but the rest have to go to hermosillo. and thats 13 hours away. So they rented buses, and left friday at 6 thirty at night. they got to the temple at 8 in the morning. did the ordinances until 6 at night. then loaded up and headed back to Tijauna. and got here at 8 in the morning sunday. our services start at 11 30. and there was a lot there. so good for them.
3. My last because i have to go. was for the services the bishop gave the time to the people who went to the temple for the first time. wow they had such a great experince. and to here the testimony's of some of the people i baptized. WOW, i forgot all about the bad week i had. such a miracle.

I know that the temple is the house of the lord. I know what they do in temples are true. I know that miracles exist in the world today. Yesterday was probably one of my favorite sundays of my life.

until next time remeber that everyone loves a missionary,
