Oct 24th
...MY first week was three days so it doesnt count nothing to special on my first day out i got yelled at in Guarani i had no idea what she said and nether did my companion but whatever.  i thing she yelled at me because i was bearing testimony that this was the only true christ and she didnt believe that there was such a thing as a true church.  my second week we had conference and that was great and we went to the temple and i got to do baptism for the dead in spanish i had an awful time with puncution but the power of the priesthood made up for my mistakes. o and durning my second week i anotined two differnt poeple for the blessing of the sick.  so my first time blessing and doing temple work was in spanish very cool had no idea what i was saying but i could feel teh spirit and i knew that God´s hand was behind my words.  o and i went through the temple in spanish it was really cool and i felt like i understood a lot of what they said mostly because i had done it so much and provo that i knew what i was supposed to say.  in the thrid week nothing to unormal for a misionary just thought great lessons and felt the spirit.  but Just yesterday i got to give a talk in sarcement.  that was bretter scary but from what i was told i did a very good job and they were able to understand what i was saying.  i talked about missionary work but i talked about how the two great camandents are love god and thy niaghbor and how jesu said to simon peter if you love me feed my sheep.  so i dropped the cane on the ward and told them if they love god then they would share teh gospel with their nieghbors friends and family....

i´ll tell you a little more about the people.  a lot have no or very little education.  i teach people how can´t read and people how´s grammer is worst then my.  the education here is very very poor but at the same time these are really intelligent people to start they all know two langues spanish and Guarani.

i have servel very great people that i am teaching and servel others as welll but first.  let me tell you that i lovwe my companion he is a really great guy adn we talk and get along so well it is great its so nice to not have that worrying or uncomfortablness.

...Where did this week go i have no idea time flies on the mission it is crazy crazy.  one great thing that i have noticed this week is how much better my spanish is now i´m not prefect and i still at times have no idea what people are saying but has far as talking about the gospel and teaching people the simple pure truths of the doctrine i go just fine and i have a testiomino of the gift of tongues.  there is no way by my selves that i could of learned spanish this fast. i and i now i could learn a lot faster but i dont but in all the evort that i should i study the gospel in english and then me and my comp speak english all the time the only study i do is read the Book of mormon out loud with my companion.
the gospel is just a amazingly simple and great thing.  all it really is is God loves us so he sent his son to atone for our sins and so that if we follow him and repent we can return and live with god, and all we have to do is keep the commandments,  so because God loves us he calls prophets to Guide and teach us with a loving hand and the commandments are all for our proctection and profit.  i love the saying that says :::  you can not break the commandments because the commandments are prefect and from God, you can only break yourself against the commandments:::  or somthing close to that and i love it because it is so true God gaves us commandments inorder to keep us safe from the devil and from physical and spiritual harm. or in others words to keeps us happy.  mosiah 2:41...
 ...i am teaching some really great people right now and i hope that they will progress but has i have been teaching one thing that i have learned is that people need to have a testimoiny of the book of mormon because if the book of mormon isnt true then josé smith is not a prophet and then he never recieved the priesthood and are church is just like ever other church in the world .  but if they have a testiomony of the book of mormon then they know that one jesus is your savior becasue that is what the BOM is all about 1nephi6 (cant remeber that verse but nephi tells us why he is wrighting the book and it is a very short chapther so you can find it)  two that josé smith was a profeta and that he has and we still do have the authority of God and and three this is the kingdom of God and the earth today. ( the last two paragraphs of the intrudcion of the Book of Mormon).  i´m sorry i didnt get to tell you about my investagatores specficly but i dont have time any more but know that i know that the book of mormon is the word of god and that it is a gift and a guide for us all 2nephi 32:3  i love that book never before have i loved this book like i do now. i wish i could go back in time and take advanteg of reading the book of mormon more before my mission but more than that i wish i studied the book of mormon becasue it truly is writin for our day there are times and times again in the book where profets talk to us and say i am writing this to you us in the latter days.  i invite you all to read the intruducion of the book of mormon and thne serisous thing and proper about why God in hevan and the Profets of old would want you to have this...

Wait i got one this week i went on a division with an elder that speaks worse spanish then me  it was so amazing becasue i literally say the gift of tongues becasue there is no way that him and i should of been able to teach but together and with god we where able to teach and to add to that we found four new investagotres.  ( in our mission in order for a person to be a new investagator they have to accept the invitaion to be baptized)  and we saved kittens who were stuck in a tree...
