ldsmail.net got gmail-tized. Now i can have more than 2 pictures in my account. btw this is my new email :

mission accomplished with the move team. You guys might have been a little rusty after not moving for, 5 years. might be a record. Pumped to see the house, did you say its close to the new temple in Gilbert? Oh how i miss the temple, feel like its a little crazy that im ten minutes away but i haven't been able to go, due to a rule. It´s open here for holidays and there is one this coming p'day so hopefully i´ll be able to enjoy the Spirit that i have missed so much this past 7 months. Oh, and do you know if there is an estimated time when the Gilbert Temple will be dedicated?

Glad to know that you guys are disfrutando la vida latina (enjoying the latin life). One thing that will be hard to leave are tamales. Oh sooo good. This week we had a fundraiser selling tamales to the members to raise money so that a family can get married here in the zone.

Speaking of familys. We found a sweet one.

There a reference from Giovani Silva, the family that we baptized the end of January, called Familia Alfonso. They came to church this week and were diggin it. I´m pumped to see them progess. We´re going to start working on there papers to get them married.

Juan Carlos was baptized this week. His life is gong to change drastically. The ward is going to appoint a member to teach him how to write and read. Many many opportunities will be opened to him as a result.

More and more i´m learning the power of fasting. This week had its share of problems. and they all seemed to hit wednesday. So i decided to fast for 4 direct things. For example, wednesday, Elder Huaman woke up with bad bad depression, didn´t want to talk to me at all, and I had no idea how to handle it. So I started my fast. for that day and half of the next he wouldn´t talk in any of our lessons, until 8 oclock that night. We had an appointment with Wilson, a new investagator. I felt like we needed to watch the Restoration video, as a result the room was filled with the Spirit, and was able to talk to the hearts of all of us to remind us who we really are, and the truth of this message we Teach and listen to. Wilson shared with us his feelings, we helped him recognize them, he shared his desire to be baptized, my companion was able to invite him to be baptized, he accepted. We finished with my companion being able to give him a blessing of strength to help him quit smoking. We all left feeling edified. E. Huaman shared with me after that he had forgotten that he really was a Missionary.
When I have had problems in the past, and I didn´t have a clue how to solve them, I always came to you guys. It´s the same with our Father in Heaven. When were lost, when don't have a clue, and have no where to go, we can always go to him. He has the answers and he will always guide us when we ask for it through prayer and fasting. I had no idea what to do, but i know that God did with all of my problems. By the end of thursday those 4 things were eather resolved or answered.

I love you all, and am forever greatful to have you in my life.
