I am called of God. My authority is above that of kings of the earth. By revelation I have been selected as a personal representative of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my master and He has chosen me to represent Him--to stand in His place, to say and do what He Himself would say and do if He personally were ministering to the very people to whom He has sent me. My voice is His voice, and my acts are His acts; my doctrine is His doctrine. My Commission is to do what He wants done; To say what He wants said; to be a living modern witness in word and in deed of the divinity of his great and marvelous Latter-day work. How great is my calling! • My Missionary Commission • Elder Bruce R. McConkie •

this week was super good. we had an amazing baptism. her name is anabell and is such an amazing convert and wanted to be baptized this week and then later her husband and son are gonna be baptized...hopefully. but yeah she is so good and the bishop is loving our work here. he invited us to the ward council i think its called.not sure but it was the first time he´s invited the missionaries...woot woot!!! he gave us some less active members he wants us to visit and yeah everything is going really really well here. oh so in my district we have the assistants to teh president the zone leaders us and two other areas that are super good.

this week we had 6 investigators in the church and we did a family home evening with some investigadors in teh house of new converts and it was so amazingly spiritual!!!! the mom has been coming to church and we are teaching her regularly and the husband and kids just dont want to listen but the daughter went to this fhe and then el domingo went to church!!!! oh my gosh we have so many amazing experiences every day its hard to tell you all of them and dem to answer your question the absolute best part (most spiritual) of the mission is hearing my investigators bear their testimony after their baptism. its like in dyc 18 :15-16 i think. my joy is so much more when i can share it with others and when they truely feel it.

Derek thanks for writing me. and congratulations on your wedding and everything else in you life haha!!!!
