Mi Familia

Dear family,

Well thank you for the pictures of those monsters!! I sure hope that the luck runs with you guys as well as you all are preparing to take some monsters this Fall. My challenge is that I don`t see any ¨Bambi¨ photos this Fall unless its a crazy weird never been seen one(; 

This week has been great, I was able to finish the Book of Mormon for the 5th time here on my mission and I know that without a doubt in my mind and heart that it was writing by God through man to help us in these Latter-days. So I have grown to love the scriptures a lot and I enjoy reading them so much.  

Since I have a year now in the mission and I hadn`t bought anything for myself besides food, cause I am fat boy and need to eat, I went and ordered me some custom scripture cases, and I got to pick the picture and everything for them. So i will send ya some pictures so please let me know what you think, I think they are sweet and I love them so much!!! 

This week now for 3 weeks in a row we have had a family with us in church, so that has been such a blessing to us here in my area, and I know that the Lord has people prepared for us, just need to search and ask with faith, for his help to find them and teach them what they need to hear and feel, so they to can come to the great knowlegde of this gospel. Not a whole lot has happened this past week, just teaching, walking, and talking so I do apologize this email isn`t the most exciting knock ya off your chair. 

I do have a question though, when will the Ogden temple be open to do temple work? and have you all as a family set a date to go do a session? I think that would be awesome if you guys did! The Lord has blessed us with His Kingdom here on earth, so might as well take advantage of it, right? We are going to get the opportunity to go to the temple 4 times a year now instead of just twice a year,so that is a huge blessing and I can`t wait I will be going at the end of this month!! 

My testimony has grown on temple ordiances a lot as I am studying and teaching families a lot more lately or helping the inactive get reactivated and progress to be able to enter the temple to be a family eternally! I know that is possible for every family to have that, an eternal family, if we live the gospel. 

I will have nothing but a temple marraige, so I hope you all can prepare to enter the temple that day with me! There is plenty of time don`t you worry so just please rememebr that and prepare now so its not a mad scrabble last minute thing! 

I love you mother to the moon and back and then some! 

I love you all so much and thanks for all your love and support! Have a great week!! 

Con mucho amor.

Real quick while you are still online:

It looks like a lot of these deer are taken down south more,or were some taken up North as well?? Just a real quick question just curious thats all. 

Also DyC 122:7 maybe this will help as you are going through a rough times, I know it helped me understand trials and why we have to have them in this life..also The way Jesus walked was never easy, I mean all that he did for us wasn`t easy I can`t imagine how he did it...so Why would the way of the Lord be easy for us??? Just a thought..know that everything is for a purpose. Keep going I know that you can do it! HE WON`T LET YOU FALL!! I testify of that! Have a great week guys! Love ya!
