HOLA FAMILIA!! it was great to get your letters and hear that all is well. im glad mom that you tried to teach Lars how he needs to say no to girls in a nice way but Lars is so smart that he is already practicing for the mission and yells them away. sounds like your winter is still going strong here they tell me that its going to start to rain soon which makes things a little bit cooler but also our whole area will be complete MUD so that will be interesting as well. As for jose and Yulema we are working hard for this weekend, yulema is still going strong and is just waiting patiently for her husband to grow up. He had some doubts about the BoM as well so we cleared that up and we are praying that we have been able to open his heart so that the Holy Ghost can strentghen his weak testimony. We are ending all the lessons kneeled in prayer and we arent sure what is keeping him from his testimony that he says he wants, but we trust that the Lord willdo his will and that he will help us to accept it. We´ll just keep trying to do what exactly what the spirit tells us to do because we cant get too far off track that way. also this weekend tatianna is preparing for
baptism as well as another youth. I think i mentioned tatianna in the last e-mail but she is our golden
investigator who got a testimony the same day that we taught her lesson one and is reading the BoM a chapter a day.
well she is still doing great and she loves what she is reading and is really excited for her baptism. she really understands that it is something that will take her closer to her Heavenly Father and that is will erase some things that she wishes she wouldnt have done. another good thing about Tatianna is that she got and RECOGNIZED her answer in the correct way through an overwhelming celestial feeling, the way it should be. a large number of the Costeños have an amazing talent of thinking that the only way they are going to get an answer through a dream or a vision. now im not saying visions or dreams and that kind of stuff are bad all you visionary dreamers who are reading this but here is an example of a typical dream answers. ex 1) the person is watering the dirt outside of his house (a typical costeño habit) and a man selling fruit comes by and the person calls him over to buy his fruit, when the person asks what he has the vendor says i carry mango, piña,coconut and jose smith fruit. Well our surprised dreamer asks in wonder ¨what is jospeh smith fruit¨ and the drean vendor sells him a mormon bible (the BoM). The dreamer then makes juice and its good. maybe that wouldnt be such a bad dream except that the invest. procedes to come to a bunch of WRONG conclusions from his dream that 1) we dont use the bible 2) jose smtih wrote the book of mormon 3) that we sell the BoM 4) that are our real names are jose and victor. Also when the invest does get an answer from the Holy Ghost he ignores it because his dream was way cooler. That was just one example of great dream answers when i get back i can tell you a bunch more, and belive me they are great.all in all im still way to happy, and healthy and blessed.pray hard for Jose that he recognizes the answers the Lord is sending him and that he opens his hear to the truth.
Love you all,
Elder Larson
p.s. the latest scripture i have memorized is jacob 5: 71 its UN PODER!!
