Hey Everyone

So, neat experience this past week. As my companion adn I were discussing how to improve and work more effectively in our area, my companion felt the need to visit the mother of some recent converts that she had been teachign some time ago but had some dificulties nad stopped recieveing the missionaries. When we went back, she informed us that she had begu to pray and was making an attempt to read the Bible, but that she didn't understnad too mcuh of what it was saying. We then offered her a Book of Mormon and bore witness of its truthfulness and well, she's been reading tthe Book of Mormon and maybe nt understandin geeryhign, but at least allowign the atoning power of Jesus Christ to enter into her life. I love when the Lord does these things. There's a aparable that I really like, called the seed that grows secretly, in which Jeus explains that a man plants a seed, goes to sleep and leaves it, and in the morning, the seed has sprouted and the man knows not how. 

 More often than not, this is what happens here in the work, a seed is planted, adn then the Lord begins HIS work, sublty nudging peopel to make changes in their life and then through this process, and often without us knowing how or realiign how it is down, these seeds have begun or are beginnign to grow. 

This is the Lord's work, we cannot stop it, nor can we impede it, but we CAN help it by plantign seed after seed and then lettign the Lord do His part, because He always does His part, and thenm if the person decides to and if they let the Lord make these changes in their lives, they will be "white, and ready to harvest." 

I hav seen this so many times in my mission I can't even tell you how many, I know the LOrd is working, He is bringign forth and bringing about all of his ends and plans. He oves us and He wants our Salvation. To this I testify and bear my solemn witness in the name of my Savior Jesu Chsirt, Amen. 

Con mi amor eterno,
