Last Couple of Weeks

What a wonderful week!  My family is such a missionary family!  Jacqueline is so well loved and I’m sure that God has a great plan for her and it will be brought to pass by YOU GUYS!  :)  Thank you for helping the ward so much.  I am seeing blessings every week thanks to your dedication.  This week we had a lot of help from the members and I think it is because you all have been such great members there!  The Mosquez family invited three of our investigators and one recent convert over to their house last Sunday for a Family Home Evening.  They LOVED IT!  Sister Mosquez is such a missionary, her husband is our ward mission leader, her son is a returned missionary (Three months ago) and her other son is fifteen, who helped watch the Kids while the adults had a spiritual and enjoyable time in the living room. :)  I am so thankful for the help of the members here in La Costa.  Our ward is so powerful, it is quite amazing.  Yesterday was a HORRIBLY rainy day yet we still had members pass by all our investigators with their cars and they ALL came!  :)  Can’t wait for Sandra´s baptism this Wednesday and Yoli´s next Saturday.  :) :) :)  We have been doing about three intercambio´s per week and it is wearing me out, but I am staying much focused as I am getting down to the niddy-griddy. :)  Thanks for all the support you have given me.  Your emails are uplifting and inspirational. Know that I am working hard, there is no down time. :)  I love you all so much!

Elder Reay

First Family to make it to the temple in my whole mission. :) the Lamela family.  Elder Torres (My current comp) and elder Ochoa (His old comp) baptized the Lamela family a month and a half ago and they were sealed this Thursday in the temple.  One of the most informative and spiritually uplifting experiences yet on my mission.  The Patriarch talked a lot about the sealing power as well as the endowment session. I am so thankful that I was born under the Covenant.  THAT IS SUCH A BLESSING!!!

Trip to the temple.

The one in the red skirt is our recent convert.  She went with us to get to know the temple.
