One week to go

It´s been a great week. We´ve worked hard, slept little, and really tried to do what the Lord wants. President Pack challenged the mission to talk to 25 people every day. Something that isn´t too hard, but it gets hard when it´s a Sunday night and nobody´s walking around. Well, Elder Lords and I decided that we are going to get this goal every day sin falta. We didn´t see much fruit from it this week. But, last night, we were with the Elders from Aviles and we had about two hours left. And we thought, "Let´s go for it." Between the four of us, we recieved 14 references. For a comparison, in the four days leading up to Sunday, we had recieved 4. It was a huge miracle and we had a lot of fun. 

Not sure why that last one sent by itself... But whatever. It´s been a great day. We had a 4th of July barbeque in the church and played some Uno and some soccer and some basketball. It´s been a great P-day. We also bought some gypsy pants. They look straight out of Aladdin. (pictures en camino)

Well, there´s nothing I can say in my last letter home that I haven´t already said. The church is true. The Atonement is real. The Book of Mormon is true. Joseph was a prophet. Christ lives - and speaks. Work hard, see blessings. The past two years have flown by faster than anyone could have ever told me. I´m not sure what to think about the future. It´s quite scary. Here, I know who I am. I know my purpose. The world will do its best to make me forget that or get confused. But, as Nefi says, "No importa. I know in whom I have trusted." Through Him, I can do it all. 

Anyways, I´ve got to go on an intercambio to Aviles and get to work. ¡hasta ahora!
