Elder Slade in the house!‏ March 16, 2015

What!!!! Elise cut her hair. That is the most surprising to me! I am shocked out of my mind! Haha That is so cool! I am so happy for Tay that he got a Job doing what he likes to do! He will be a perfect diesel mechanic. I never saw him as a pharmacist anyway! ;) No just kidding. Him and Jamie got the Genius genes of the family. They could do whatever they want! Haha Jamie and her crazy traveling plans sound as great as ever! haha I am pretty sure she will see the whole world before I get home! ;) haha So this week was pretty great! Elder Argueta and I worked so hard! I was reading a talk. About a 40 day fast like what Jesus Christ did. But this is a fast of everything that impedes the spirit. Thoughts of anything that are basically outside of the gospel. And other habits that aren´t the best. Just completely sanctifying ourselves even more. And I was surprised when Elder Argueta was excited for it. What they say it does. Is completely changes the desires of somebody. To really really have the same will as God. And for a missionary. It helps us have more power when we testify. And I have already felt the difference. I just feel more love, and gratitud mostly. Basically we are looking for miracles. Because man I believe in miracles. We have seen some amazing things happen. For example we contacted a man on the street. And gave him a Book of Mormon. then we went about our day. And ended up knocking on his door the same day. And his wife answered. Then when we returned we figured out that they were husband and wife. I was like no way! The Lord is leading us to these people that are prepared. And they need lots of help with their family. So we did a family prayer, and the spirit was just so strong! Haha Super cool experience that I won´t forget. But anyways. I think I shall bear my testimony once again. Everyday that I have the opportunity to study and work. The more I realize and found out that these things are IMPORTANT and TRUE. I really know that these things are true. That there was a need for an infinite atonement. That it had to be Jesus Christ and nobody else. That even though there is suffering in the world, God is perfectly just and has a plan for everybody. And I know that if we do what we are called to do in this short time that God has given us. We can receive exaltation. All we have to do is be diligent and consistently progress. God does not expect immediate perfection. But he expects immediate progression. And I know that The Book of Mormon is true. No evil man could right such a book, and no good man would write it.. unless it were true. (Elder Holland). I know that we have a Prophet. He really leads and guides this church. God loves us. And I know this! And I invite everybody to study the scriptures. Don´t just water ski over them. Scuba dive in them! Haha! I love that. Anyways! I love you guys! Thanks for the support and your love! Love you guys! Elder Slade
