HEY- HEY- HEY- FAMILIA!
well I'm looking for the words because I'm honestly trying to figure out what i can write to you all. i'll do a fun thing of this week and then a spiritual.
first fun thing. i was able to apply my house searching skills! the area president (Pres. Arnold) has his brother and sister in law coming in either this week or next week to help us organize a stake here in Coronel Oviedo and Ca´aguazu. so for the last little bit we were on a special assignment to find a house for them. Tuesday we got permission to borrow bikes from members and roll around all of Coronel Oviedo looking for a house. It was a bit harder then it sounds. It was really fun to watch the people looking at us because they are used to us walking and then they saw us on the bikes and all that came to my head was that they were thinking "hey look the hermanos have bikes now. that's cheating they should walk" it was fun.
transfers came and gone. nothing changed in our companionship. I'm here with Elder Lamb so we still got a lot of work to do and this transfer is going to be amazing!!!!! On Wednesday two of the missionaries from the office Elder Moffet and Elder Garcia came to do pension inspections and to look for a house with us. the entire zone was looking for a house and because i know the area best, me and elder moffet spent all of Friday rolling around looking for a house in all of oviedo and then took the 30 min drive to ca´aguazu to look for one there. they are both wonderful missionaries lots of fun. they have the vision and the discipline to become more and more molded in the Lords hands and just a great time to have them stay with us for 3 or 4 days. oh and last week a bird pooped on my head fun fun fun.
so while traveling home from ca´aguazu me and elder moffet were having a great chat. it all focused on the atonement and our purpose as missionaries. its so amazing that the atonement is the path and the way for us to live with our Father in heaven again. Christ through the atonement showed us the how to. the atonement is so much more profound then Christ suffering for our sins. that being the most important part because without a savior as the say in guarani "opa" done. The atonement is also having faith in Christ, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the holy ghost and enduring to the end. because of Christ eternal sacrifice we can have faith in him, through his suffering of our sins we can repent, baptism is that key to open up the door to receive the gift of the holy ghost and to open the long and narrow path to endure to the end. the atonement is something that we all must study and come to know. i had the opportunity to study the importance of baptism. i know and testify that all must be baptized in Christ's true church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. if not they cannot participate fully in the atoning sacrifice of the savior.
For those who need to be baptized and don't know yet. Talk to the missionaries they can help you!! :) read the Book of Mormon and ask God with a sincere heart and real intent meaning that you are willing to follow the answer God gives you whatever the cost. the blessings of heaven and the mansions above are being prepared. The atonement is real. i know it is. I've experienced it and i will give my all to fulfill my calling so that all may have the opportunity to participate of the atoning sacrifice of the savior. (mom, dad please do spell check)
thanks for all that you do LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!
