A week full of photos and wonderful experiences from back home. :) You all expressed such love and emotion though your letters and photos. :) I have to say... seeing the pic of Holden and McKay flexing made me feel SUPER fat. :) We rearranged our room so that there is more room for work outs now. thank goodness. I am so thankful that you all had that time together as a family and the time spent looked like it was high quality!!! so many fond memories of spending family reunions at grandma and grandpa´s house. :) :) I love those memories with all my heart.
What
an INSPIRATIONAL experience with Frances!!!! That filled me
with love and gratitude to hear about how God reached out to help one
of his struggling Children. I know that God sent Hermana
Nelson. Are you sure it wasn´t hermana Howlett?? That´s
who i think it was. Ask her if she went to the west mission or
if it was mine. :) I am so very thankful that Hermana Nelson
has stayed worthy of the guiding Spirit that helped her find Francis.
The Valdez´s are so incredibly special and i am so thankful
that God sees feet to bring them back. We must remain friends
with them. :) MOM... you know as well as i do that this
miracle was brought about by just as much by YOUR prayers and
searchings for missionary experiences as it was by my prayer and
service. :) Thank you for always looking for ways to serve and
help God´s kingdom progress here in Uruguay and back home in
Arizona. :) yes your prayers help the work HERE as well.
:) There is nothing more
powerful than faithful prayers combined with righteous acts. I
hope and pray that together we can change the world an help our
brothers and sisters to grow closer to God.
I
have had a great last week, even though it was full of conferences
and financial problems, we got out to work a couple of good nights
and found some new investigators. Hopefully they stick and we
can get SOMEBODY into the waters of Baptism. :) I am so eager
to see some more fruits of my labor, but i will be patient and
continue faithfully praying and working my tail off. :)
I
saw that on one of the screen shots you took there was a post from
Chelsea... in her post it showed her location, "LDS Seminary
Building" CHELSEA!!!! :) Texting and posting in
SEMINARY???? Where on earth did you learn THAT little habit ?
I´m sure that there is some good explanation :)
(Knowing sweet little Chelsea, it was probably before class had
started or during a break. :) way to go Chelsea... wish i would
have followed the same discipline that you do.) Thought
i would just give you a hard time on that one seeing as i am your
older brother and all. :) Love ya sis..
JJ
may is getting TALL!!!! man and she is slimming down too! I´ll
bet all that V-Ball is helping her tremendously. I am so proud
of you two girls and the success that you are both having and are
GOING to have. Thank you for the wonderful you set for me and
Braden.
Dad
sent me off a nice email this week. :) I love hearing from you
and even if it was to get a little "I told you so" in
there, i´ll take it. :) haha. i
can´t fathom the troubles some of these elders
and hermanas go though when they show up to the computer on pday and
see NO emails whatsoever. That has to be so incredibly hard.
Thank you for keeping me in touch with the family and ensuring
that i feel the love. I love you all so stinking much and can´t
believe that life back home continues to chug along. :) (Mom,
no more count downs in my email.... hahah) You will see me when
you see me, till then i am twenty four seven at the Lord´s service.
:) I love you. Thank you for all of your words of comfort
and help.. You really do know the way to a missionary´s heart.
(Not talking about the package you will be sending) haha. You
fill me with light and esperanza that just makes me so happy.
I
can´t believe Brett is endowed! What an experience that is
SO vivid in my memory. :) Do your remember mom... Kayli and
Ethan were at the temple the day and SESSION that i went though?
Looking back at it now i realize how special that really was.
I know that Hazel is still with them and that she is prettier
than ever dressed in her spiritual beauty. Tell Kayli that i
love her and am grateful to have a cousin like her to teach
me.
I
love you all,
Elder
Reay
