January 27, 2014


Good afternoon mis queridos,

Wow muy buenas tardes mi maravillosa familia. Estoy muy humilde a tener el tiempo para escribirles y ver los muy tuanis vídeos. Gracias papa por enviando los vídeos del familia y de la casa. Se parece muy diferente que antes pero no mucho. Es muy extraño de pensar que vivía allí hace dos años y estoy muy agradecido ahora por todo que tengo. Ahorita hemos trabajado con todo nuestras corazones, alma, mentes y fuerza a traer ésta maravillosa mensaje de esperanza y amor a las corazones de los que hemos enseñado. 

Wow very good afternoon my wonderful family. I am very humble to have the time to write you guys and see the very great videos. Thank you dad for sending the videos of the family and the house. It looks a lot diferent then before but not to much. Its very wierd to think that I lived there about two years ago and I am so grateful now for all that I have. Right now we are working with all of our hearts, souls, minds and strength to bring this wonderful mesaje of hope and love to the hearts of those we are teaching.

the work is moving forward rapidly now and my wonderful companion Elder Compton and I have been doing spectacular. We have had a very tough time finding positive investigadores to teach but we said a prayer this past week to god to help lead us to those that are prepared and ready to hear of this gospel and progress in there lives. When we finsihed our prayer we felt very good that the lord had a plan for us and it was ssearching for his lost sheep. As we began to focus on the less actives and new converts we found two wonderful familys that missionaries had taught in the past but bçnever baptized. Each day we shared a brief lesson with the two families to complete william and his wife, and Marco and his wife. And at the end of the week we saw a miracle of two families in church with 10 investigadores in all. And the coolest part they all came on thier own. I have a very firm testimony of this missionary work with the memebers. The strength the memebers bring to this work is extraordanry and I am so exicted and proud of you guys for inviting your friends to the gilbert temple open house. I know that they will feel of the lords love that he has for them as they walk within the temple and see the vision that the lord has for them.

Sorry that this message is a little fast, it was a very busy busy day for us and so
I haven´t had much time to write today but I love each and everyone of you all. Dad thank you so much for showing all that wonderful information on the prophet Joseph smith. How neat it was to see all of the books of mormon from the diferent generationes. The work is definetly moving faster and faster. We had one of the presidentes of the seventy come to nicaragua to teach us and helps us grow the work more futher and help us establish zion here in nicaragua. I don´t have time to write what he taught but it was truly amazing and you could feel the power and authority that he held. 

I love you all and pray for each and everyone of you guys, Jacob and erick you are the man. Keep up the great work in school and with friends and the family. Always remember to invite your friends to come unto christ like the mutual theme is this year. I know that your joy will increase as you compart with your friends and school mates the joy that the gospel has brought to you. Invite them to mutual activities and church. You guys are doing awesome and I am so proud of all you do. Love you james and spencer. Keep up the great work in school and don´t grow up to fast you two..haha! Soon you will be taller than me you two and I will be the little big brother. haha! Love you mom and dad and I appericate all that you have done for me. I love your wonderful videos and letters and I am doing good. till next week.

We helped this wonderful family baptize their son two weeks ago. He just turned eight years old and we began to teach him, then he was interviewed by our wonderful Bishop. They are so fun and totally remind me of James and Spencer.



 Baptizing on his birthday the 11 of January. What a spiritual fun day it was Saturday. We baptized Armando a wonderful young man who is preparing to go on a mission in one year. He started reading the Book of Mormon before he met the missionaries, and then he finished it and moved onto the Doctrine and Covenants and in only 35 sections away from finishing it. He is a spiritual giant and I am proud of him.


Funny expiernce that happened the other day... haha!!

So it was 4 days after the changes and my new amazing extraodern companion Elder Compton from utah and I were sound asleep friday night. it was his fourth day of him  being in nicaragua because he is new and so we were both super exhausted and sleeping in the early morn, when all of a sudden I awoke suddenly for some reason and I didn´t really know why but I could hear this small noise and then I was just laying there thinking on my bed when all of a sudden I reliazed that there was a reflection on the ground in our room and I realized that our whole apartment was filled up with WATER!! haha!! ....craziest thing right.... haha!!

SO I run to the bathroom half asleep to find that the bathroom pipe had a leak and there was just a little bit of water spraying out the side so. I found the spot and stopped it and by then my companion was up and we began to have a 2 aclock in the morning cleaning party. (Those are the best parties) Haha!! the good part was it only got one of our suitcases soaking wet and that there wasn´t anything destroyed, and after it was cleaned our house was a lot lot cleaner. haha! I think it was the way the lord was trying to let us know that we needed to clean our room more. haha! 

But the moreal of the story is you always have to be ready at what life throws at you. (Or a flood like noah.. :) 


I can´t send the video because it is to big but when I get back all have to show you it was halioruos. Got to love rainy days...It wasn´t from the rain but the bathroom pipe that flooded the house but we got it all fixed now and we haven´t seen anyproblems. But good times
