I know that the pain and the struggles that I encounter only strengthens me!

well its very great to hear from you all. miss and love all of you very much. this last week was so much better because we worked, worked, and worked some more. found a great couple THATS MARRIED!!!!(1%of couples in peru are married) and some great younger men who are single and ready to prepare to hold the priesthood of God. obviously we wont have baptisms this week due to conference but we are going to travel to trujillo to watch it in a big stake center so thats exciting. sounds like audreys birthday was a blast and the kids in vegas are happy and healthy which makes me happy as well. hard to hear that grandma has to suffer even more with health and hope that you can all continue helping them. im so thankful to a family(brothers and sister in law included) who are such great examples to me and live the gospel as the Lord nos manda. i keep you all in my prayers day and night and hope you do the same for me. very thankful for the wonderful experiences i have on a daily basis and am thankful to you dad for you wonderful emails siempre. i dont pass a moment when i dont wish you were here with me to be able to share your strong testimony because i know it would help the poeple here so much to see the way the gospel blesses families. keep up your hope in the crisises that are taking place back home in work and the community especially you mom and dad so that the Lord can bless you as He always has. Hold strong to the basic things you know such as praying daily, solo and as a couple, studying your scriptures, and obeying the commandments to the last little ones that seem to slip our mind from time to time. those run of the mill answers that we respond in our church classes our that way for a reason...because if we just focused on that we would not have to suffer the way we do at times. i want to share my testimony that i know the Savior lives and loves each and every one of us. Our Father in Heaven also desires that same success as parents do for their children and he gives us the formulas for happiness through the living prophet Thomas S. Monson. I love this work and know that the pain and struggle i encounter only strengthens me. I promise all who read this as a servant and representative of the Lord Jesus Christ that if we heed the counsel of our leaders, study the scriptures and pray daily, and strive to live the commandments, we will be blessed more than you can imagine.
i love and miss every one of you and hope you can be uplifted by my love for this work and the Book of Mormon. until next week!
