Any Changes?

FAMILIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sure do love you guys!!!!! Things are super good here. :) As for this moment. I will explain the miracle story later. I have no idea what i want for my 20TH BIRTHDAY!!!!! YEAH BABY!!! 20 and lovin it!!!! I am happy with whatever you send. I have no idea if we can skype for mothers day. i will ask. but i think i will be calling cause my comp is going to call AND in this small town idk if they have skype. but i will let you know all the information when the time is close. Wow everyone is growing up. its super cool to think that and then when i come home. I will be bigger too. Everyone says i am alot taller than when i came.(to senillosa) that means i am growing here in senillosa. Im thinkin... 6 foot 5 and 230 pounds of pure muscle when you will see me in the airport. haha jk.

So about my life this week.....This week until saturday nigh was just like anyother day the weeks past. Just nothin. We did nothing, Nothing happened, Nothing changed. So Saturday night was a miracle. What i hope to be the answers to not only my many prayers but the prayers of my friends and family for me  that we have been praying for for 1 1/2 tranfers of my mission. My companion told me "lets fight with obedience" i was thinkin "oh right, here we go again, half a day of obedience and we are going to return back to normal" we did nightly planning (for the first time in 4 weeks) and we started with a hymn. The hymn humbled me quite a bit. Then my companion said the prayer. humbled me more, started to feel the spirit a bit. Then we started planning, I felt the spirit super strong and a thought popped into my head "this is what you have been praying for, the change you wanted" I cant even explain in words how amazing our sunday was. My companion has changed. (for right now at least) its a miracle. On sunday i gave a suprise talk in sacrament meeting and the spirit was super strong,  we taught lesson 1 with the youth and had a cool spiritual activity with them. The spirit was super strong. then we planned that night and the spirit was super strong.

I was listening to Jon Scmidt (my favorite) the other day and thinking. In my mission, I have been to what seems like hell and back with some of the things i have been through and the things I have felt. The mission isnt easy. But may i tell you, that this is the happiest i have been in my life. The lord knows me. He knew that my mission wasnt going to be easy. Its not a states mission, or a English speaking mission. We dont have cars or bikes. Our president of the mission told us "Elders, This is one of the hardest missions in the WORLD" one of the least baptising missions in south america (south america you would think has the most baptisms cause its south america)  But the Lord knows me. and what i can handle. I heard a quote once, "The lord sends the strongest missionaries, to the hardest missions, with the hardest compainons" I have a testimony that the Lord loves me. I love this people. I love my mission. Though it may not be easy. I love it and I will be happy!!!! ;)

Stay strong and Share the Gospel!!! Love you guys!!!
