July 1st Letter

HOLA FAMILIA!!
   This week has came and gone! The time seems to go faster and faster!  I am not sure what the mission address is because I do not have my mission book anymore.  This week things have been going great I have been able to have a few experiences that have really made me think and change me! One thing that happened was a recent convert had a dream that she was standing in a dark tunnel and at the other end there was a person who was dressed in white that kept saying read Alma 5 30 it is a scripture that talks about repentance and coming unto Christ! This was really good for her that she was able to have this experience because she was not going to church and doing the things she was supposed to.  I guess its tough love... however she has completely changed and has read her scriptures every day and also she comes to church every week.  However I started thinking about this experience and how much we really can change when we realized that there is a God that loves us and that Jesus is the Christ.  That this is real and not some joke! I started to think about how grateful I am to be able to know these things and to grow closer to God and Jesus Christ.  Another experience I was able to have is we were in the house of hermano Salvador and he has a son named Terry and Terry has a son that is about the age of 3 and 5 and he was severely sick and on top of that he has asthma or however you spell it.  But it wasn't looking good they didn't have any money to go to the doctors and it seemed like all the things they were trying just didn't seemed to work.  However Elder Veron and I came to the house and saw the need of help.  We could have simply given them money and they go to the doctors however Elder Veron has a strong testimony of the power of the priesthood that I am so very thankful for!! At this moment we gave the little boy a blessing! However it was complicated because the little boy didn't want to be touched and so we prayed that we could just simply give the blessing to him.  He calmed down and eventually we were able to give the blessing.  It was time to head to the house because it was about 8 50 so we left and the whole time I was praying in my heart with all my strength that this little boy Josua would be healed through the power of the atonement.  Because I remembered that Jesus also took upon him the infirmities.  That night was rough for me because I was not able  have a good sleep and I just wanted to pray and pray for Josua.  I was able to finally fall asleep and I had an amazing dream but for now the story of Josua.  The next day came along which was Sunday and we went back over to the families house to check up on the little boy and a miracle had truly taken place.  The mom was in tears with what had happened to her little boy.  She had said that after we left and she had gotten to the hospital and into the doctors that Josua was healed.  That the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with him and that he was completely healthy!! When I heard her say that my heart was swollen with joy and I felt the arms of the Lord cover me!  We were able to have them come to church(they are less active members) so that was just great for them!! This week was fast Sunday!! I have no idea why I love it so much but it is honestly the best thing in the world.  I was able to understand a lot and I have never felt the spirit so strong and so much.  I Have been able to grow such a strong love for the church and when Sunday comes along i cant wait to just head to the church!! I honestly feel the love of the lord more and more each day as I strive to apply the things that i read and become more like Christ! I have been really trying to find Christ more and find how really the atonement can help me not only in my work but also in my life.  I have truly learned more about myself in this last month then i really knew.  It is only through Heavenly father and Jesus Christ I am able to really come to know myself because they know me better than i do.  They have helped me in the times of struggle and the times of joy.  One quote i remembered was [I didn't say it would be easy i just said it would be worth it This quote has really helped me think that we pass through struggles and hard times so that we can find the treasure at the other end.  However this week I wanted to ask how can we use the atonement more in our life also that you search Christ with all your heart and energy because through him you will find yourself
  i love you all with all my heart!!!
