Hey Mom
Your emails are awesome, I love to read them every week. That's cool that you got a job offer at Archibald's! I love that place! I only can say to pray and fast to know if it's something you want to do or should do. Those doilies are sweetness. The families will love them! That's crazy that Devin's birthday came and went. It's awesome that Layne was cool about saying what he said, hes a great leader/boss. I will go back to Kent's I think to work because I love it a lot, and Layne is a great boss. Was Call's awesome? I remember when we went to there to eat during the summer before I left. I can't believe that Cole is already going to go to Germany now! Craziness no?
     Our baptisms fell through all 5 of them. 4 of them were a family, the mom and 3 kids. Her husband was in the hospital when we met her and so we've never met him yet. He's still in the hospital and she had to go to the hospital too cause she has lung and heart problems and more too that put her in the hospital also. So the kids are with aunt and grandma right now and to baptize them we need permission from the parents who are in the hospital right now, but we know that they're ok! The other kid, Heber lost his animo, whats animo...like his animation, interest, that he had when we met him and when he received his answer. He wants to get baptized but he said he doesn't feel ready, we did all we could to help him see that yes he was ready but he didn't want to do it. Let's see this week, he will get baptized this week! =D
     I learned something about faith this week, there are 5 types of faith,
1. Alma 32:27- desire to believe
2. James 2 18 or 19- our works (don't have my scriptures now)
3. Moroni 10:4-5- knowledge and testimony
4. Ether 12:12-miracles
5. Helaman 10:5-power

     We were about to go home one night to make it in the house at 9, I said that we needed to invite Gabriel to church now so that we can pass by in the morning and go with him. My companion said, he lives in a really dangerous part of the area, I knew that and I also knew that if I wanted this kid in church tomorrow that we needed to go and invite him. It was a test of faith and I wanted to have power and see miracles using faith. We went the next morning and he didn't want to go so we entered the house with permission and we were like come on man come on and he was like, nnoooo I'm tired and I don't wanna I gotta stay here with my brothers and sisters, and his brother called his mom at work cause he wanted to go and the mom let him. He didn't believe in God when we met him, he didn't go he stayed home with his sisters but wanted to go but the kid Gabriel went! His dad is a pastor of an Evengelio church and he still went to church and enjoyed it! In 2 weeks we will baptize him, I know that we went cause we showed our faith, I didn't doubt in my mind that he wouldn't go I told myself that I wasn't leaving without this freaking kid coming with us, and it was freaking cold on top of it all. Frost grew on some people's hair and snot cause it was so cold. Next week were going to go with his brother too. Gabriel who went to church is 18 and his brother Santiago is 14! My faith grew and so did my companions faith. If one has faith he or she will see Miracles in their work, but you have to put your part because faith means belief with action together, to do the impossible. We did the impossible and it was awesome.
      I just wanted to share that with you, I know that the Lord protects his servants and that he recognizes our strengths (esfuerzos) in the work and we can see miracles and have power in our faith. I love you mom mucho and I am glad all is well! When we look unto the Lord for help we will receive it if we do our part to receive it. Like if we want answers prayer, scripture study and even fast may be necessary! I love the gospel mom and I am glad I am here! I love you and dad and hope dad had a fantastic birthday and all. I thought about him, his birthday was wrote in my agenda and Elder Loza's brother turned 7 on the 26th too! cool no!
