Sorry for not being good with my letters lately. Lot's of work and traveling. But I realized that I only have 15 weeks left so I figure that you deserve at least 15 more good letters from me.
So in case I haven't told you I'm in Puerto Peñasco again but now I'm in the other branch. It's cool because now I know almost all the members in Peñasco. My comp is Elder Hernandez and he's from SLC Utah. He's a great missionary and we get along really well.
A great part about coming back here is that I've been able to see all my converts. Hassel is doing great and is going to go to the temple in July. Dulce and her kids are on fire. She has already gone to the temple like 3 times and she has a patriarical blessing. She has the goal to get her endowments in November. It feels so good the see the change in their lives.
We have been working VERY HARD (In very hot weather, 115 yesterday) and we have a super zone here. Everyone is working their hearts out. I've read a book here called Expect The Miracle of Conversion. Incredible book. I wish I would have read it at the beginning of my mission. It has a really cool chapter called Implenting the Lord's Success Formula. It contains 5 steps to obtain help from on high. We applied it this week and I loved it. The steps are as follows 1. Believe that you can do it 2. Look to the Lord for your blessings 3. Make the Sacrifice 4. Expect a miracle 5. Receive the miracle with great humility. As we applied this formula we truly felt the hand of the Lord in the work. This same formula can also be applied in our daily lifes. As we make goals in our lifes, let us go after them using this formula. We'll notice that we aren't in this alone, and that our Lord and Savior is on our side.
