The Joy Of Working With The Spirit
Hey guys!
We had a pretty good week as we searched for more people and taught them. The feelings and promptings of the Spirit are so great here and it is such a joy to be working with the Spirit, doing the Lord`s work. We have one baptism for this upcoming Saturday and hope to put more people on track for being baptized. Things are just going great and I am loving the work. This past Wednesday we ate with one sister in the ward who owns a little kitchen business. She always serves us up some great food when we go and this time I ate a traditional dish called pancita. So what exactly is pancita? Well, it is cow stomach!! Yum! It actually tasted pretty good and tastes a lot like clam. Also, today we went and climbed the nearby mountain with the rest of the district to the very tippy top and took some cool photos of the part of the city to the East of the mountains. Really cool. Unfortunately, the air was pretty contaminated so we couldn't see the volcanoes that are more to the East, but it`s okay. Well, that`s pretty much all I have for this week. I love you all!
¡Ten fe y se obediente!
Todo mi amor,
Elder San Diego

¡Feliz Cumpleaños Heather!
Hey folks!
Things are going great here. Oh! First! Happy Birthday to my big sister today! Yay. Party! Pretty tough week this past week. We taught practically no lessons the entire week but we still have faith and vigour and we are going to start fresh and new this next week and do all we can to receive the miracles or the Lord in this missionary labor that we are doing. This past week has been cloudy and cold (not really that cold, maybe 50-60 degrees) but it´s been a nice change of weather. What I want to share with you this week is about the power of the scriptures. The scriptures have such an amazing power in our lives to open our spirits and guide us in the correct paths of God. I know that when I read the scriptures, I have the spirit with me to help in my decisions and actions. I also receive direct revelation from God through the scriptures from the words that I read. The Bible and Book of Mormon are testimonies to us from a loving Father in Heaven of His son, Jesus Christ. No matter what challenges we face in life, we can always find peace and guidance through the scriptures and fortify our faith in Jesus Christ, our Savior. I know each of us will receive more blessings in our lives than we have ever imagined if we read the scriptures daily and ponder the message they contain and then apply the principles we find in them into our daily lives. I challenge you all to do this. I testify that the scriptures are ture and I do so in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
I love you all! Take care and keep doing your best!
¡Ten fe y se obediente!
Todo mi amor,
Elder San Diego

Opening The Windows Of Heaven
Hey guys!
What a great past few weeks it has been! I guess I will start off with some of the funny and cool news first. First off, you know what I found out? The main facility for the company "La Costeña" is right here in my zone across the canal from my area! Cool stuff. We always buy their salsas in the markets when we decide to make some tacos for dinner. Second thing. You won`t believe what I ate! I ate elote! That is the corn on a stick thing that Nacho`s sidekick eats and loves in the movie Nacho Libre. It`s pretty good, and simple! Boiled corn on a stick with mayonaise, cheese, and chili powder! Yum.
Well, now time for the even greater news! I finally bought a new camera! Yay! Ok, now for even greater news! Elder Lozano and I baptized and confirmed 7 people in the month of January! Yaaay! I think you already know about Guadalupe being baptized, so I will skip on that. We baptized this cool guy named Pablo, who before was an atheist but some event in his life led him recently to start believing in God again and looking for truth. That`s when we came! Yeah! Isn`t it so neat how God prepares people to receive the gospel? So we baptized him and now he even has the Aaronic Priesthood! Wow. Next, we baptized two little twins who just completed 8 years. They are grandkids of a recent convert grandmother so it was great having that gospel base already started there. Their names are Juan and Charly. Then, we baptized two other kids of a member. They are really cool and buena onda (this just means basically the same thing as really cool, but in Spanish. I just felt like doing that). Their names are Ismael and Zac-qui. Then! Later we baptized a guy named Jorge! He is a cool guy and is the brother of one of our current investigators who is getting baptized soon too. Yay for families! Yesterday, we also had another baptism for a kid named Alfredo. He was a blessing from God to us. He is a son of a member famiy who got baptized back in August or something like that. But, he was rebelious and didn`t follow the others in being baptized. Ever since Elder Lozano had baptized that family, he always said no, but one evening this past week we were walking and didn`t have any appointments, so we decided to stop by and visit the family and maybe see if he wanted to be baptized. Well, we went and then he told us he wanted to be baptized! Yay for revelation and guidance!
Well, that`s all for this week. I`m doing great and hope you all are doing great too! I love you all!
