Week 77:Elder Young in Garibaldi Guatemala

President called me at the end of last week well actually I  called president and he said "I was thinking about you just now". He then called me to fill in for 2 of the other secretaries.  We had to drive to Huehue at 3:00 in the morning and it took me like 2 hours each way and it was full of potholes. We took a missionary home who had an ankle problem and another one we had to pick up because he got an infection and they had to operate on him. It was so painful. So we had true drive slow. Well then I drove all around Xela and I know it well.  We went to pick up the new car as well. I have learned so much. Basically I'm in charge of all the passports, buying tickets for airplanes, all the accounting. I really like it. It's exciting. Miracles have happened.

We found a family by ukulele playing with Elder Topete last week. It was awesome. They all came to church! A family of 5 and will get baptized soon! I love it. We found them by following a prompting to knock on their door. I am very grateful  that I've been able to see the spirit work through me like that. 

Also, we get to see all the new people come into the mission which is great. I love helping them out and telling them to have fun. 

I've shared my testimony a lot in these past couple of weeks. And I have a strong one. Just read the Book of Mormon folks. Come at it like you want and read it and be converted. It's that simple. 

Well I got transferred to Garibaldi again!! Its fun because I share a house with Elder Linares again !!! WHOOOHOO. And also Elder Stone. 

I'm with Elder Figgini who is from Peru.  We are getting along great,  I can tell that the president has a lot of trust in me and I have a lot of trust in God. 

Testimony times: Whoever is reading this, just know that I know that this church is true and that God does love us and does want us to come home, clean,happy, and safely. He loves us. We need to nourish ourselves daily. I testify of the TEMPLE I know it is of God. Everytime without fail I have entered the temple and received devine help and literally talked to God in my mind as if he were there. This last time He told me that I needed to nourish my spirit as much as I do nourish myself physically so I started reading the Book of Mormon even when I was exhausted and I testify that it is true. It filled me with spiritual joy. I let me soul delight in Fatness and I love it. Reading the scripture is like eating at Canes. You just don't get sick of it and each time the sauce is more and more addicting hah. 

Well I love you all! It doesn't matter who ever is reading this. I love ya anyways haha. 

Have a great week.

Great week I love the office, I've made a bunch of changes in the mission and I'm licensed to drive the mission car. I love the package you sent and the red sweater ! 

Ellder Young and Elder Luce 

Week 72:Elder Young working in the office and loving it!

We have seen SOOO many miracles this week. In the lessons I  asked the investigator if they could feel God's spirit.  All  of them could feel his spirit  touch their hearts and minds.  I felt so  happy .It was such a blessed experience . Graci will be baptized tomororw (we found her a week ago and prayed with her and she said she felt something amazing and decided to be baptized) Someone else the 23rd and also Karin this next Saturday. We prayed with her too and she said she felt really good. 

HOW. How can I deny the blantant obvious miracles and good feelings I have felt. I have the desire and disposition to stay in the mission all my life teaching repenteance to all men and helping them belive in the God that loves them. For God loves us. I can truly testify of that. 

We got CHANGES!! It was a blast to be with Elder Luce and Figinni in a trio. I learned tons. We sand songs together and got in a lot of houses with my ukulele. We have seen MIRACLES. yesterday I got called as the Baptism registery secreatary with Elder TOPTETE: I am so happy about that. I love him as a companion. He is really smart  and he teaches me the spanish rules and the teaching  is great. We get along perfect. It's so nice to have an amazing Companion like him and Elder Luce  in the mission. The church is so true, and God really does love us. 

I've found that the spirit really does reveal us all things. I've prayed to find my wallet and I got a super specific impression, okay its over there in that bag. I look in that direction and there it is. God tells me what to say in lessons. I open my mouth and watch as peoples prayers get answered. 

God loves me. I'm sure about that one. He loves me so much. I am so happy that I can make him happy and just be like "Hey, I recognize all your doing here, I'll pray to you every day and give thanks and live a good life to glory you". I've come to have a great relationship with my Father in heaven. 

I feel so much love towards people. It's crazy. I JUST LOVE THEM. I look at them and just love them and tell them that and they tear up and say that they can feel my love towards them. How cool is that. How much better is that than acohol, drugs and all the terrible addictions there are today. I would chooice these spiritual gifts I've been given 10000000000 times over before picking up even a drink of coffee. 

Hey if you want to know something just ask God. He's there. Ask Him. He will tell you ALL things. He has told me countless things and has guided my actions for a long time now. 

Anyways I love the mission. I love everyone, and especially my family.

Okay, Something I really enjoyed is that yesterday I talked to the Fam. Ajcuc. Chrstina and Maria and Felix and Paula of that family like 7 people were baptized and i'll go to the temple with them soon. They absolutely love me haha they tell me that a lot of times haha. it was so gratifying to hear the people I baptized are doing well. Also Angela and Milady and doing well and are going to be sealed sometimes soon so I can go with them too.  I  was so happy calling them last night.
