Buenas tardes, mis seres queridos! This week was awesome. Mostly
because we were able to go to almost all of General Conference. We
cant go unless we have an investigator so we went in the morning Sat
and brought Yaneth--shes the 17 year old whos not married (yet) and
has a cute little baby. Her "husband" right now is actly really
strange and we left to go to conference and she told us that she found
out that he cheated on her and that she was going to break up with
him. But we told her to think of that question as she listend to
conference and shed get an answer. Well the first words that came out
of Pres Monsons mouth were something like "we are here to learn...many
people are going to tough times, in their families in their blah..." i
dont remember but obviously that part stuck out to us and of course to
her. Then the next two speakers spoke on families! it was so awesome.
She told us "i recieved so many answers to my questions." Her husband
just joined the army (who knows what they could possibly do in the
Mexican army but whatev) and leaves next week, so we are going to do
everything we possibly can to get them married and her baptized this
week. But she already knows its true and will do everything she can. I
realized it last night--shes going to do all she can and us to. If it
doesnt work out, the Lord will be trying to teach her something and it
will be better for her. Like he said to Joseph Smith,
"6 If thou art aaccused with all manner of false accusations; if thine
enemies fall upon thee; if they tear thee from the society of thy
father and mother and brethren and sisters; and if with a drawn sword
thine enemies tear thee from the bosom of thy wife, and of thine
offspring, and thine elder son, although but six years of age, shall
cling to thy garments, and shall say, My father, my father, why can’t
you stay with us? O, my father, what are the men going to do with you?
and if then he shall be thrust from thee by the sword, and thou be
dragged to bprison, and thine enemies prowl around thee like cwolves
for the blood of the lamb;7 And if thou shouldst be cast into the
apit, or into the hands of murderers, and the sentence of death passed
upon thee; if thou be cast into the bdeep; if the billowing surge
conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the
heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to chedge up
the way; and above all, if the very jaws of dhell shall gape open the
mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall
give thee eexperience, and shall be for thy good.
Stupid computer. The same thing happend that happened the last time
when this un-ùpdated computer didnt send the letter. I hadnt written
all the answers to all the questions and emails that i got and it
didn´t send. I was lucky cause i saved the draft half way thru but
whatever. Thanks for the package..i dont need shoes or shirts but i
would like cds, a container for oil and the razor heads if it is
possible. Remember that now i wont get it until May. I DID get
stephens email last week just so ya know. Duke.. haha. Papá,

Febrero. And thats all i have time to write. I took extra time to
respond to the emails but whatever.
Que tengan buen dia y buena semana!
