Vision and Possibilities

Sunday, we had three investigators at church. It was good. Bryan, Evelin and Regina came to church. It was a great meeting with testimonies, because our stake is doing the fast the next week after conference so ya.. my fast was good. After, we had a good lunch with the Ubyllus Family. They are a great and humble family, mom and dad and two daughters.

As of today, we have 4 baptism dates set for the 18th of October, and man, the vision and possibilities are great. This area was just waiting for two good elders to come in and just tear it apart. We have found 3 families to work with, and a ton of young people. It’s the best. I’m really excited. Tomorrow we have planned a family night with one of our investigator families.

Prayers have been answered !!

Well, your prayers and fasting have been answered this week. Thank you all, for all you do for me back home. This week the numbers weren't any better, but the success was! We found 12 families that are married!!!!! You guys don't know the jungle, but that's rare. We're finally finding people that want to hear this gospel and need it in their lives. It's the chosen ones we're looking for, and thanks to God and all of your prayers this past week has been amazing. We had a good Sunday, with alot of members in the church and 4 investigators - a family! Right now we have 2 families with 8 baptisms we're preparing for, and we're planning on even more. We have sooooo many people to teach ... and also me and Elder Flores.. we're going great.... Never fighting, just laughing and playing and (everything is done) with the spirit. Teaching and helping one another and all the people. I love this mission and time is short here in the jungle. I can't believe I might be leaving in only 20 days.... scary to think about.. and then it will be September, how crazy is that?

En esta semana los números no fueron muy buenos, pero fue exitoso. ¡¡¡Encontramos 12 familias que están casadas!!! Chicos, ustedes no conocen la selva, es algo rara. Finalmente estamos encontrando personas que desean escuchar el evangelio y que lo necesitan en sus vidas; son los escogidos que queremos encontrar, y gracias por todas las oraciones en esta última semana ya que han sido sorprendentes. Tuvimos un buen domingo, con un montón de miembros en la capilla y 4 investigadores – ¡una familia! Ahora tenemos 2 familias con 8 bautismos los cuales estamos planeando en tenerlos, y estamos planificando muchos otros. Tenemos muchas personas a las que enseñar… y también a mí y a Élder Flores nos está yendo estupendo…no más roses, sólo riendo, jugando y (todo hecho) con el espíritu; ayudándonos el uno al otro y a todas las demás personas. Amo la misión y el tiempo es muy corto en la selva. No puedo creer que estaré yéndome en 20 días más… me da miedo de sólo pensarlo y luego será setiembre, ¿Cuán loco es verdad?

Fasting and Baptisms

You may remember a few weeks ago (March 8th) - Landon baptized Diescenia Polanco (27 years) and her sister Yajaira (14). The missionaries have been working with their parents (54 & 47 ) since that time, and in Landon's last letter, he had this to say.....

"The Polanco's are doing good. They assist in the church every week, and have a date (for baptism) for this coming Saturday (March 29)."

Tomorrow is "fast" Sunday. I personally, will be fasting with two purposes (beginning my fast today) ; that the Polanco's will go forward with their decision, and continue in faith, and also, for an individual who lives right here in Morgan, who has recently become interested in the gospel, and has been attending church. This person will soon be asked if they would like to be baptized. My prayers are with all of them.

We have 6 baptisms scheduled, and we're working on 2 more for the 8th of March. We have been fasting for these families. I'm excited. I love my area, it's great. Great people and good surroundings.

The work is going everyone, our President has set high goals for us, and it's going to take a lot of work to meet them, but we can do it because we have the best missionaries in the world. I love you all.... I wish you all the best.

We're working really really hard. I love it. time is flying. Strive to have the spirit with you... it's very important. We're going to the temple on Wednesday, so that will be good. All is well down here.
