How are you??? I am sorry to admit that today is going to be somewhat short... And also my new camera is fried.... We went into the jungle today and it fell into the muddy dark water and is K.O'd......Please tell Rich that I am so sorrry...... We had a wonderful sacrament meeting and I want to share the highlights with you... The leaders from the 4 districts(stake) came to our branch, and they spoke about tithing... And mom the spirit was wonderful. I know that this was inspired by the Lord. And I want to bear my testimony about tithing. I know that I haven't had much experince with paying it, but the spirit has testified to me of the truthfulness of tithing. And I am so excited to be able to pay it when I get home. I know that it is one of the greatest blessings that we have here on earth. The opportunity to help build God's kingdom. I know that it is a commandment of God and if we live it He will bless us. God doesn't ask for money, he asks for a willing heart, and our faith. I love Him mom, and I know that I can show my Love for Him by paying a full tithe when I come home. I am glad to hear that things are going well at home. I know that things can be crazy, but crazy times allow us to learn patience. I love this gospel mama!! I love it!! It is wonderful!!! And I hope you Love it too!! You are amazing!! Here is a mental Hug and kiss!! I miss you!!! It is such an honor to serve the Lord. Love, Elder Garcia

How are you? I love getting your emails!!! This week was good. Very dissapointing but good..... Elder G and i have been working hard to accomplish our goals. And we have been having success. We have been trying to be accountable for the things we both say and do. But there was a bump in the road right at the end of the week. We need two more lessons to reach our goals... And we had a great day planned to meet these goals. And we were working and working and working and everything was going great. That was until the last 2 hours of the day when everything seemed to putter out.... Nothing was going right and we were going to fall short...And i had been praying to our Father in Heaven to build my faith. To give me the necessary trials to build my faith. And when this obstical came, i allowed doubt and dissappointment to take the place of humility and trust in God. But in His infinant mercy we were still able to achive that we had set out to do... I learned that we can do anything that is expedient in His eyes if we will but have faith. If we will trust in His beloved son He will take care of us. I am going to work on forgetting myself and allowing Him to use me in the way that he sees fit. It was a difficult lesson. But one that i am so grateful for. But other than that things are going good. Just doing my best to improve and better myself everyday. Because at the end of the day that is all that God asks.

I hope this finds you happy and smiling. I am simply trying to better myself. I love my Savior and i want to serve Him. And i am so thankful for the chance that i have been given. I loved the pictures of the BBQ l. But i was so excited to hear that you met the Jansens they are wonderful people. I love them so much. And it is not hard to understand why. I can not wait to see them again. Things were amazing this week. I am slowly learning about the act of being accountable. A quote written by Elder Maxwell state that a willing heart and our free choice are the only true and original gifts taht we can give our Father. Because everything else is already His. And we are simple borowing it in order to make it through this journy that we call life. Elder G and i lowered all of our goals, and were truly accountable for them. And it felt amazing. It has brought that fire back. Knowing that i cna do what i set my mind out to achieve. I can do the things that i desire with the Lords help. I am to hard on myself and i know that it is only destructive and discouraging. I am doing my best to do my best and that is all i can do. I am accounting for my actions. And i the areas where i need to improve i am willing to receive instructions. I love this work. I love this gospel. And I love my Savior. I am eternally grateful for the chance that i have been given. I love Him. I love Him. Meeting the Jansen's and waving hello to Elder Garcia
