Happy lunes mi querido familia,

Happy wonderful magnificent monday to all! Thank you guys so very much for all you guys do and I Always am so excited to read and see what new is coming along in the boyd boys life. Thank you mom for sending the wonderful videos of grandpa and the gang, The Gilbert temple looks amazing! Oh how I wish that there were a temple here in nicaragua for the benefit of these wonderful people. And we are hoping and praying and work hard so that this will come to pass here in nicaragua and benefit millions who are waiting on the other side. 

So this past week has been a tremendously wonderful week. The lord has been working hard and we have been striving with all our heart might mind and strength to bring this wonderful gospel to all who are looking and only can´t find it because they know not were to find it. Sorry my english has been getting slower worse and my spanish is getting better but hopeful I will be able to master them both...Haha! Sometimes I will ask my wonderful, companion Elder Compton How do you say tal cosa in english. HAha and I can´t remember. 

This past week has been wonderful and our investigator William and his wonderful family our progressing steadily towards there baptismal date this upcoming saturday. Today for day of preparation we went with william and his best friend Bismar to the church to play soccer together and it was Truly so so fun with him and to see the fun he was having with us as well. When we got to the church it was around lunch time and so we went and began to play soccer and we played until the ball dropped, literally ran out of air and then we kept playing...Haha! it was a wonderful time and he is so excited for his baptism and marriage. 

Last night we had a wonderful lesson with them about obra vicaria, baptisms for the dead, and thought him about the wonderful blessings that were to come through him and his decision to be baptized. He was so exicted and told us about a dream that he had two days earlier about a couple of his ancestors that were dressed in white. It was a incredible lesson and the spirit was so strong. 

Thank you all for all you do, ON wednesday I should receive my package that you had sent for christmas. I am so Excited to see what was sent. I received the package for my companion about 3 weeks ago now but the other package hadn´t arrived and so I was a little sacred that it might have not made it, and so today the leader of the zone informed me that he has the package. Thank you all love you so much and I hope that you have a wonderful week. I know that god lives and that he loves each and everyone of his children, the power of prayer is real and is always there when we need to receive strength to push on and overcome our will and submit to the will of the lord. I love you dad and happy wonderful b´lated birthday. This is the work of the lord in the name of jesus christ amen.
