Hey hows it going family!!!! This week has been a really busy week and we are really trying our best to help the zone out. This week we have recieved a new companion which is Elder Miera. He is from New Mexico and we are three now again. 

This week was full of hard work and happiness. I feel like each day that goes by Im more tired. I sleep later now with the things I have to do at night to help the zone out. We are working hard with the missionaries so that they can feel our love. That is something I have learned this week. When you talk to some one with love they are more capable to listen to you. We have been trying hard to listen to the missionaries and help them out. 

This week we had an amazing training from President about the powers that are in this universe. The two powers he said were the Atonment and Our Agency. THey are powers that govern the universe. When we try to force people in doing it usually people will not feel the wants to do it but when they really feel that they need to do it. They are willing to do anything to have those feelings all the time. 

These two powers surprised me. Really the Atonment is a power that really helps us to return to live with God and to keep us a live. I was reading a talk where it said that Jesus had the option of following through the atonement or he could have decided not to do it. What would have the been the circumstances if he didnt do it. 

We would lose our identity and we would lose our soul. Really Jesus Christ was the key to everything and thankfully he went through with the plan we have the opportunity to  live with God again. 

The other power he talked about was the our free election. President said we have to convince them that by them electing they will truly be blessed. I've noticed this when I find a scripture and when someone shows me a scripture. I always remember the scripture I found way more than the one the showed me. This is the effect of what happens when we use our agency to the Lords favor he blesses us with those blessings that are always the same if we choose correctly. 

I know that when we teach about Jesus christ people really can feel it and know that we are called of God. When we teach with that power we convince many to hear us and persuade them to do what the Lord wants.

I love you guys and really working hard to give thanks for my savior Jesus Christ and for what he did for me. 

Talk to you soon.
