Hi everyone,
this week was good, Hispanics are so nice! They always want to feed you and talk to you about the food they cook and how they loved to cook in there country and on and on. There's a lot of things in life that could easily confuse us but just remember that you read the Book of Mormon, prayed about it and received an answer that it's true.
Love

Chilax
Dear Family and Friends,
One of my investigators got baptized on Sunday after Church. My companion has been here in the area for the past 6-7 months and has got to know him very well so he wanted him to baptize him. He's from Peru and lives with the Vargas family, also from Peru. Brother Bob always feeds us his wonderful Peruvian food. There are 17 people that live in his house and he feeds every single one of them. Peru is at third place at making the worlds best tasting food. His food is the best I've had in my life, all of Maryland, anywhere. He's super humble and we're helping him fix up the house before they sell it, it's pretty much new from all of the things they've put into it. My companion says my teaching and "leading conversation skills" are improving, and Spanish. It's just like how Elder Packer said about taking that leap of faith and just start talking, exercising faith that the Holy Ghost will inspire my words and just putting my Spanish out there even if I make mistakes. I know that God supports me. He will help me as I do my part, my effort, thought, and devotion. He listens to our prayers. Well, I love you all and thank you for your support. Bye!!

Spirit
Hi everyone, como estamos? Last week we extended two invitations for baptism on the same day. The Spirit was powerful in both lessons. In one of them, my companion asked an inspired question and I listened very closely and bore testimony which invited the Spirit. As a Spanish missionary we do a lot of traveling, especially this transfer since another area has been shut down for a while and we visit the members and progressing investigators there. The Branch President said that a reform is about to take effect where the illegal citizens living here will become legal. This will be good for the Branch because most of the members or Hispanics living here in general aren't legal and people move around all the time but now they will have an anchor and won't be so concerned about work and going back to where they came from because it's hard to live as an illegal citizen. That may sound bad but they're actually good hard working people. They make it happen and get jobs and make something of themselves unlike some Americans that live on the street that have so much potential living here but don't do anything and make excuses. I remember a part in the Book of Mormon where it says that no one will go to the promised land (America) unless God sent or guided them there.
