“The Standard of Truth has been erected. No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing. Persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame. But the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and dependent till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, until the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the Great Jehovah will say, THE WORK IS DONE

Querida Familia,

Halloooo! I am sure your lives are all as exciting as usual, but since I didn't hear from anyone, but Britt I don't have much to say on

This week was good! Luis and Alonzo accepted new b dates for the 28th de Agosto and they are actually progressing and coming to church and reading which is REALLY GOOD. I have had this phone investiagtor in Germany that I totally forgot existed and yesterday I was like, "Hm.. I should see how Jac is doing"- and I called him. come to find out he has been going to church and reading very faithfully! Which was great news. and several of our chat investigators were completely self motivated and have been going to church. I am just amazed by those who are self motivated. Usually we have to beg them to come to church which is kind of ironic since we are begging them to accept their own salvation? Alonzo is the cutest man you will ever meet in your life! He is like an old version of Hector who just got out of a coma and isn't completely all there. We are helping him study for his residence test so he doesn't get kicked out of America. Which is poor failing memory worries me, but it's really adorable when he says "consteetushun". i am so happy cause I have been praying to find families to teach my whole mission, but we very rarely find whole families who are wiing to listen. Maybe just one, or most moms are single moms and the men are just single men who live with their 1st 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th cousins and aunts and great aunts and their dogs. And I still hadn't taught a whole family! But we found three complete families to teach this week and they are SO GREAT :) Well one is particularly great- pray for Victoria and Jorge. Thanks :) Oh and oh my goodness this woman Lorena pray for her. AH SHE"S GREAT!!! She was sooo not interested immediately when we came she siad "I am Catholic, all my family are pastors don't bother, but you can clean my kitchen"- so we did and someone else in her ouse accepted a return appt so we came back he suddenlly he wasn't interested and she came down when we recited the first vision and she was crying quite a bit and in tears her exact words were, "WOW, me senti que eso es verdadero" - and she immediately started talking about how she wanted to make covenants in the temple?! If we weren't inhibited by the other guy bashing we would have invited her to be baptized. Tomorrow. K well, I somehow already ran out of time. But I hope all is well in Babylon... (wait... that might condemn me)- Love you all sooooo please writme and let me know wuzzz up!! Too many exciting things going on at home. Ps I have transfers this week and they stress me out cause I really want to stay in GP. But ok. it's ok. Love you!

Did any of yall see Matt since he been home? How was dat? Okay love you again!
