Hola familia :) como andan ? How are thigns out there in the states? you guys all getting ready for thanksgiving ?

Things out here are going good :) really good, working harder than ever and seeing tons of miracles out here :) so the confresne with Elder Holland.... amazing :)) as it was planned due to timing conflicts he coulodnt go to the individual zone meetings as planned but our misison was able to have a devotionalo with him and it literally changed my life. SO pasionate about the work of the Lord and so much Love for each and evry one of us. He talked super in deptth over an hour about the importanse of being a tue desiple of Christ. Not only for these 2 years but forever. It really called the attention how much he focused on being a missionary and working for the Lord after the mission. It was so great thoguh, he talked alot about how we need to do the work more in the weay of the Lord and draw ourselves completly out of the picture, not doing nayhting ion our way, but in his way. He was going so hard thoguh and was seriosuly clasic Elder Holland, chasnged my lfe thoguh and thats being complsetly seriosue. I took my recorder there so i got the audio of the whoñle talk, cant wait to show you guys in a couple months. We were super blessed to hear form his wife as well and she had one of the most beutiful testimonies and talk about the appreciatrion for the misiosnaries and the work of the Lord.. we also got to hear form Elder Swarez and Elder Gonzalez of the 70 and Predency of the area. There wives as well. It was huge and hands down the best devotionalo to date out here in Buenos Aires Oweste.

k so i sent out a long family letter and it had a wierd error go thgough so it got erased, heres a short  one thoguh due to time. Ill get you guys a good long one with all the details next week... KNow i know the church is true and know that the atonmetn is real. ALl of us can change, all that it takes is humilty and true turst in the Lord. Iv seen so many poeple change, including myslef and i know that there is nothing, no hard time or dificulty that cant be helped thoguht the atonemt, it is the only way to find true anlasting hope and joy in this life and forever.. Elder Holand said that this week, We all muct learn to walk through getsemany. SO teue thoguh. :) now all we have to do is share this with everyone, keep up the misisoanry efforts and keep buliding the lords work in these last days.. KNow this is his work and know that this really is the one and oinly tue churrch on the earth and the only way to mreach tue hapiness.

Love you guys and pray for you every day
