This last week has been very spiritual, but a very draining week for me.  It is awesome to be back in Revere.  There truly is something very special about this area.  I have a great companion and the work is great.  What more can one ask for?  I finally got to meet our investigator family. Rosario, the mother; Stephanie-12 year old daughter and Johnny-year old son.  They are so special and are currently just seeking an answer.  They have been keeping commitments and have progressed so much!  We currently have 11 investigators and are striving to find more.  The Lord truly is hastening his work.  As of right now we are doing our best to find out what the Lord wants for this area and what we need to do to make it happen.  We have 6 missionaries, so we are trying our best to make sure we are unified in the work and recording everything effectively.  It is amazing how I still feel like I know nothing lol. You would think after being out a year everything would just be so much easier.  I am starting to finally get why all the departing missionaries say that they were finally just starting to get it.
 
This last week we were blessed to be able to go to the temple twice. Once on p-day and the other day on Wednesday with our ward.  It was all in Spanish and there were parts that were a bit hard because of the lang., but nonetheless a very great experience. 
 
Friday night we had a Family Home Evening at our investigators house and this is how awesome she is.......she is already sharing the gospel!  She invited her friend over, and it was a great lesson.  She accepted a Book of Mormon and accepted the invitation to read. She will be there again this Friday.  We went "less active hunting" with the Sisters since they were our ride.  It was a lot of fun.  In the car ride before we started the thought came to mind, " Hey you should practice out those contacting tricks that President Packard's cousin taught you."  Well, sure enough, there were plenty of opportunities and now we will be returning to a lady's house to leave a blessing on it and teach her the 1st lesson! 
 
The members here are amazing and so hard working.  We have one member that makes 4 trips in the morning just to bring people to church, and then to take them home.  Many others like that as well. We just need to help get everyone unified in the work so we can get even more done.
 
I have to get going now, but before I leave I wanted to leave you all with my testimony that I know that this is the Church of Jesus Christ and it has been restored to the earth today.  I have felt him guiding me along in His work and know that He has a plan for each and every one of us.  One that at times may not make sense, but one that will help us to become who it is He wants us to be and knows we can become.  I leave these things with you and also an invitation to seek out what plan it is the Lord has for you and to follow that plan.  For truly your life will be blessed along with those of them that you come in contact with.  I leave this with you in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
