this life is remarkable!!

Good morning! P-day today, bright and sun shinny day! So i am sending photos of the great work here in Biancheri! The work continues to go forth :) I had the opportunity to Baptize that little girl, her name is Loremis :) she is 9 years old and she is adorable, shy as can be! There is a story with that baptism too! A father Baptized his son the same day as well :) Then more baptisms this past week, I had the opportinuty to Confirm the young lady in the Photo with me and Elder Lopez!  - goodness just so many opportunitys to use the priesthood, and to help this great work, i really am so greatful for this remarkable opportunity :)  i just want you to know i am Happy, yes the mission is difficult, but the Lord is there to help!
 - This past week heard from and meet Elder Russel M Nelson... Absolutly Incredible experience.... one to always remember... :)  The spiritual presence of him and his wife... wow... thank you :) This Life really is remarkable!! - i dont feel like my words can do justice, but just know, I am strengthened more by Their teachings, and more or less, teachings of the Lord.... :) I pray we may all continue to strive to be a force of good in this world, and be there for others, to help in all times!

Have the opportunity to travel with a Family to the Temple this week, i am excited :) We worked hard this past week, we met a difficult goal that was set! - Also come and gone 6 months of the mission, wow! hehe well I love you all - know that! -hope everything continues to be great at home, you are all in my prayers, w/ love

Goodmorning!! Happy New Year, welcome to 2012! its very exciting news, haha and i am excited to work in the work of the Lord this year! - for the past week we had three baptisms, a family to be more particular :) Loved the Experience, really was Absolutley amazing to walk into the water with them and to be part of this incredible experience for them :) The Work continues to progress forth, i found out individuals from my first area were baptized this past month, and all is well! I am Loving it here in Panamà!! - Ahh really the Baptisms were Beautiful!! :)   you are all really very spoiled in the United States! (and p.s. i am even in a more wealthy country down here). You are all very blessed, so be very thankful for what you have, as for me down here, ill keep workin hard with what ive got, definately learned to find Joy in the Journey and not in the destination! - tomorrow we have the opportunity to travel to the Temple again and then some sites afterword, i am very excited :) haha Love the Temple!
