Querido familiaaaaaaa!!

How wonderful it is to have the plesure of recieving and reading your wonderful letters. They bring so much joy and fun and I truly injoyed each and every video and email that was sent this week. Dad What a hoot that was!! haha! I loved the video of you doing the everybody dance now!! haha! it made me think of evan all mighty at the end credits. Good times. haha! and The crazy fun video of you riding on your bike in the mornings! I am glad to know that I am not the only one that is riding bikes in the fun hot sun!! haha!
   I saw that james and spencer have bikes. Way cool!! I wish that I could have a bike as cool as yours becuase mine loves to give me a run for its money and come of its chain every 5mins.
   Yesterday as I was pledingly full speed ahead all of a sudden right as I am going up the hill, the chain desides to come off. I thought about dads funny story on his mission how a missionary borrowed dads bike and then it came of its chain and the missionary throw dads bike off a bridge. I was so glad that I wasn´t standing over a bridge becuase it might have dine what the missionary did and threw it off as well. HAhaha! But the bike has been teaching me a lot of paciene which is awesome for me and I love the work out. Wow dad and mom can´t belive you guys road 22 miles. Way to go!! keep up the great work. Me and a amazing missonary my zion leader work out every morning and I have found that with a constant work at it, watching when and how much we eat we find progression. 

   I have also found that it also applys to life. Our new mission president, President collado has really been amazing and has really focused us on studying preach my gospel and the mission handbook. What is so neat is that everything put into these two books, as well as the scriptures, our inspired of god and if we learn how to live by its principles we will be 100 percent more successful in life as well as in the mission, such as waking up early, planning what you want to accomplish in the day, what are your goals spiritually and physically and morally? Who do you want to become? and with each day little by little, precept upon precept, line upon line, we become who we are destine to be. The lord loves us so much and has the plan, if we will follow it, I know and promise that we will be happy. 

    Me and My wonderful companion elder reeve have been just having the time of our lives here in puerta cabezas. We have been worknig hard to prepare and find more that are ready to listen and accept this life changing message of THE Gospel! What a blessing it is to have it. What amazing changes I see each and everyday as people apply it. The best feeling that I feel is when I see our converts testimony growing and the light of the gospel radiat from them. They are so much happier. We have a recent convert German and his wife that told us yesterday that when they came home from work at 7pm they began to read the scriptures as a family and that they as a couple have been reading the book of mormon everyday sometimes till 11pm at night!! I was so exicted and they have been through so many struggles lately trying to stay alive and find work and food. My heart is open to this family and many others that are so humble and have great faith in the lord that everything will turn out right when there house has no cieling and no front door. They are termedous and I will never forget them.

   Well I don´t have to much time left but I wanted to let you know that I love you guys so much and I can´t wait till the day that I will see you all. Everyone looks so much older and bigger, jacob erick james spencer, Josh. Josh Way to go brother!!! ITs a BOy!! The lord must have sense of humor, haha! another boy. but what a wonderful thing! I am so proud of you guys you and jessie! IM A UNCLE!! haha! I want to thank you josh for all your help and support and letters and I am sorry that I haven´t had much time to write but you and jessie are always in my prayers and I know that the lord has much instore and that he is counting on you. Keep up the great work and always look for fun new ways to always help others and yourself become even greater. And that goes for you to!!! haha! (its a wonderful life). Jacob and erick you guys are awesome can´t belive its already school! Remeber to always do what is right and look for those who may feel left out or new and befriend them it will make there day, and then invite them to church if they are not a memeber!! :) And just like dad always thought us, always look for ways to share the gospel with others, through example word or deed. On lds .org there is a cool video on this in hasten the work of salvation (I´ll go where you want me to go) I invite you guys to watch that tonight and then make a goal as a family who and what you could do, to invite someone to church through service. love you all, hasta la proxima. Enel nombre de jesucristo, Amén.
