yoooooo! que tal? como estan! bueno, this week was definitely a
good one after listening to the prophet and the apostles! they is no doubt in my
mind that they are men called of God and the more i listen to them, the more
convinced i am of them. they really know how to get the spirit right up to the
heart and it is impossible to not let into our hearts. once again my main man
uchtdorf pulled through very strong with his talks... i love both of them in
priesthood and in Sunday morning! also bednar, renold and wilford anderson...
what i have noticed is that the saturday sessions have some very special talks i
i really think that the brethren are trying to help us listen to all the
sessions especially Saturdays. i had a great time listening to them... it just
doesn't compare to listening to it in your native tongue that in the tongue that
you are learning... it really is a blessing to be able to listen to the prophets
and that they speak our native language... if i only speak Spanish i would do
everything possible to learn English to be able to hear them with a translator!
this week we had the family villafuente come to church again! they are doing
very well and progressing towards their baptism on the 25 of April of the dad
and his daughter...the wife is already a member. the father was stoked to
finally be able to listen to the prophet and the apostles and when it was over i
asked him how he felt and he told me that he loved it and when we first met him
it was very hard to set up appointments with him and now he is all for us coming
over and teaching him... he was quite interested in the atonement of Christ
because he heard it so much so we will have the pleasure to teach him about the
atonement and how we will be able to come clean through the greatest gift known
to man. its just so cool to see how the spirit works and changes the people
ever so slowly when we let him do it. after priesthood session, all the fond
memories came back to when we would always jet to the car to get to the
restaurant and eat and all that cool stuff... however our recent convert hermano
toledo was taking us home and during the session he had recorded all the talks
and when we got in the car, we put it on and wanted to listen to it over again
because he loved it so much! it may have not been physical food, but i learned
that you can never get enough of spiritual food given from the prophets. young
and old! this week we invited a family of 5 to be baptized and they accepted for
the 16 of may! pretty exciting! we have made alot of contacts this week and hope
to pass by and visit them and see the out comes!
its quite sad to be honest after doing all that you can to show the people
the way back to salvation, its such a sad feeling to see people who prefer to
stay in places that are bad knowing that they are wrong and fear of trying
something knew like a family that we are teaching that want to know the truth
but the wife doesn't want to leave behind her false ways... bueno.
i jealous once again that you guys went to Carlsbad! you really need to
listen to the talks... they were awesome... i have written Kyle a few times but
hasn't responded me but would you tell him a happy birthday for me and give him a
hug for me! cant believe that he is 18 today! that just crazy and that in two
weeks, i will be turning 21! that's even crazier!
the work is going good! the president is really pushing our mission to the
next level... its been so drastic what has gone on our mission since i started
to where it is now! its been quite awesome! wow awesome to hear about jack and
jared! how is kyle feeling about a mission? and i cant wait to talk to cessy in
spanish! quiero dos carne asada tacos y un burrito desayuno con tocino! it will
be awesome! haha... and wow dad when did you buy this new boat??? did you sell
the tige??? send me a photo i am very intrigued to see what it looks
like!
anyways pops, all is well... the time is trickling down... i am doing all
my best i can for the lord but i feel like when i come to the end that i could
have done a bit more, is that something normal and something that you felt? my
biggest fear is that i didn't do everything i could for the lord and that i didn't
learn everything that he wanted me too... but anyways, love you guys! please
watch the conference. there is some things that we could change as a family!
love you
your son,
elder macdonald
