hello family.
   Happy birthday to Doug and Paul and Dani's Grandma!  I hope they are good days.
Well, its actually pretty fun to train.  Hna Martinez is great.  Shes really funny and is always happy.  Were working harder and focusing more on inviting people to get baptized.
    Enrique has a fecha, the fourth of August.  He said he wants to get baptized so he can serve God and keep on learning.  Finally!  That's the right attitude.  Hes great and his family is incredibly happy.  Now I just need to find more families like them here in the Borgoña.  I want to have more faith.  Sometimes I don't feel like I have very much faith and I don't know how I can change that.
   This Friday we went to Managua for zone meeting and they had told us to get there early and we left the house late. I was standing up on the bus and I saw a book that someone was reading and a little paragraph caught my eye.  It said something like Miracles aren't wrought by holiness.  Miracles require faith, not perfection.   And I just starting thinking, I know I'm not very holy but I have faith that we can get to the chapel in one hour.  And... we were the first people to get to the chapel, and we got there on time!  Ive been thinking that if we think God requires perfection in order to perform a miracle that's opposed to the principle of faith.
   I finally feel like I have more confidence as a missionary.  Everything that we do seems more real to me.  I also feel more love for people.  Before my mission I think I only loved 5 people outside of my family, and now its a lot easier to love people.
   Please pray for me to be able to develop more faith and to be able to find and baptize all the families that the Lord has prepared for  me.
  Mom, I got the picture letter with the pictures of Doug and Dani and Scotty and Adam and David and the plants. I really like Dani's hair. And the boys look really cute.  Its fun to hear about Scotty and Adam's personalities.
I hope everyone is doing well.... Kevin, Cher, Tanner, Nani, Kyle, Doug, Dani, Scotty, Adam, David, Pablito, Mom and Dad.  Happy bday to Grandma Tew! and hi to G Campbell and G Tew
Well, talk to you all later... :)
Love, love, love,
