Hey Family (And friends). This´s been yet another swell
week, and the time proceeds to fly by. This Monday, we were up later than
normal, because we had to wait for the transfer calls... and turns out that the
Lord´s called me to train. So, Monday, I went to the mission home, where I
received Elder Martinez. He´s from Mendoza, Argentina. I´ll only have him here
for 1 or 2 transfers, since he´ll eventually go to Ecuador when he gets his
Visa. So, we´re going to have a great time until that happens.
It´s been another week of work, but there´s also been
several investigators that haven´t completed with their commitments. We may
have to drop several of them. I´d like to mention briefly the principle of
honor. When we say we´re going to do something, and that something is within
our power... we need to do it. Our word should mean alot. People need
to know that when we say that we´re going to do something, we intend to, and
we´re going to do it. This is a principle that will help us alot in life, so
that people trust us. It goes the same for God. In Ecclesiastes 5: 4-5, it talks
a bit about this...
Anywho, one man that´s kept his commitments is Walter. I
mentioned him last week. Well, he entered into the waters of baptism Saturday
and received the gift of the Holy Ghost Sunday. I know that he´ll be a grand
building block for the church, for he´s already expressed his grand desire to
share the true gospel with his friends and family. He´s learned about the
temple work, and the significance of it has impacted him greatly. He knows that
he´s found the pearl of great price. I hope that we all know it as well. I for
one, testify that this is the work of the Lord, and that this gospel and church
are true, and that they can bless the people of the world without measure (If
they allow it). Let us carry on with faith in Christ! Hurrah Por Israel!
