GREETINGS FROM CHILE!! 

So i recieved your email 4 times:) it worked perfectly!! Also it was great to be able to recieve little parts from Scott, brian and Kiinsie!! That was much needed, Thanks:) 

It blows my mind each day to see how great the family is really doing, i never would have imagined that things would be going soooo great:) I am pumped to begin to take part in that:)

But the cooles part that i liked from the letter was to hear that what i had written reached the hearts and touched the lives of many people in my circle of influence:) That was a super cool miracle!! I was thinking this morning in my personal study that there are quite a few times where i write and its just like a report on how the week was but this morning i prayed to the lord that i could start to be able to use these emails to still do the work of the lord and hearing on what happened really answered my prayers:)

But......THINGS ARE AWESOME!!!:)) haha As for the area we had a baptism this saturday!! His name is Francisco, oh and there was a super cool experience with him and his wife (Valeria), They have been going through some marritial problems and his wife the day before his baptism told him he shouldnt be baptized....and all this stuff and we visited them and talked about the counseling system and how each decision in a marriage should be made together after a council as they do that there will be more feelings of love and will have true happiness:) We then gave her a blessing of comfort and afterwards she was super calm and 100% for his baptism and now is preparing herself to be baptized aswell:) It totally worked and they are now counseling in all things:):)

I have seen many many miracles this week where we are out in the street following our plans and trying to get to each fixed lesson that we had but then the lord inspires us to stop and go back to talk to someone, or to contact this person coming up, ect. And i have been able to see how the lord is making things happen. Even though by going to the things we have planned is a good thing, its more important that we follow the spirit in all things and not let our will get in the way of that of the lord:)

This is the work of the lord, its is world, his children, his gospel plan of salvation. All we need to do is align ourselves with him:)

I love you so much!1
