With the Strength of the Lord, All Things Are Possible.

Hola Familia! 

How is everyone that I love? I am doing great, couldn't be better! :)

Let me tell you about Brother Pablo. Man he is crazy. So this week we have been praying and praying and waiting for him to talk with his boss again. He finally did and Heavenly Father answered are prayers. He WILL be having all Sundays off for church...for real this time! Also he had his baptismal interview yesterday and he is all set to go! We are SO EXCITED for Pablo to make this change in his life and for the affect it is going to have for generations! One cool thing about Pablo is that he gets enduring to the end. He knows this isn't just something to do to feel good. He knows its a commitment to God for his life and that this is the one true church of God. So Saturday we were teaching Pablito (that's his nickname) and I really wanted to understand him and his desires and what changed him.  It feels like all of this was happening so fast and such a miracle that came out of no where I wanted to understand! Well it took some digging and the help of the Lord to be guided to the right questions but we finally figured it out. He told us that he gained a testimony by acting and testing things out and seeing results. His testimony didn't start all at once, he was bored to talk to us he said. But then he started keeping his commitments and reading the Book of Mormon and that's when it changed for him. He had a small interest that grew and grew into now great faith. Pablo also had a smoking problem we didn't know about!!!!! He didn't even tell us when we taught him about the word of wisdom. Well Saturday he decides to tell us that he gave up smoking 3 weeks ago. I was like PABLO why didn't you tell us?????? But the important thing is he stopped and is truly repenting because he confesed it and is moving on. That's when his faith really took off because one day he decided if I am going to go through with this I need to stop smoking and he decided that day to stop and it hasn't even been hard for him. He has smoked for many years and gave it up in the blink of an eye because God ALWAYS keeps his promises to us. That he will help, bless and strengthen us as we strive to live the commandments.

Brother Travis Kernin is crazy. We got a text from him on Saturday that said I figured out the Book of Mormon I want to tell you tonight when we meet. We were like okay what does that mean?? So we got there and he told us that he read the whole book of Mormon the night before and was walking on like 3 hours of sleep! Hahah I was blown away! He said he just stayed up and read all night long and didn't want to stop. What he got from it was that it was about faith, hope and love and how we cant have one without the other. Pretty cool faith here in little St. Peter. He is doing good and has a baptismal date for November 1st!

Sister Tana Helmer is changing more and more every single day. It is so cool to watch. We finally opened her up and found her deepest pain that she has had for years. You might think why is that good? Well so we can help her repent and change and get that burden off her back. We told her she needs to go home right after we talked and pray and beg for forgiveness. Tana is starting the repenting process and is feeling the immediate help and love of God. Once we start he promises to help and give us strength immediately!! That first step is hard but so worth it.

Cj is still doing good and we taught his brother this past week his name is Ruot. They are going to be baptized together here soon and I couldn't be happier for them!

As you can see things are VERY busy over here in Minnesota but amazing. I couldn't ask for a better place or time to be serving the Lord.

Make it a great week! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!
