The Book of Mormon records the destruction of individuals and societies that embraced wickedness and allowed secret combinations to exist. The Book of Mormon also teaches that we can live righteously despite living in a wicked environment.

This week was GREAT… we’ve been working soooo hard with the members, and we have seen soo much success. I love Mixco sooo much!! The divisions have been crazy and make the time fly by even faster!! I don’t want the time to pass!! I can't believe it is already Monday again!! wow! How crazy time flies by!  

So this week we were asked to speak in sacrament meeting, and we spoke on two talks given by president Uchtdorf about Alma and Amulek, and Elder Oaks about sharing the restored Gospel, and they are such great talks!! look them up and study them cause they are awesome!! My comp talked about the conversion of Alma, although he was one of the worst people in that time, going about destroying the church, he was reprimanded by an angel, called to repentance, and after he realized all of the bad he had done, and truly repented he became one of the most powerful and effective missionaries!!  Amulek was told by the spirit many times to go and preach, and didn’t take action until Alma found him, and they went about teaching repentance and baptizing in the name of Christ, and they didn’t become powerful teachers until they had their own conversion. We must be converted to be able to share the gospel!!! Elder Oaks said "the most significant evidence of our personal conversion, and the way that we feel about the gospel in our lives is the desire we have to share it with others”.

We shared the idea about a missionary week, where Monday is FHE, Tuesday is getting to know "john smith" (Joseph- everyone thinks his name is John down here) Wednesday is an open house, Thursday is meet the Mormons, Friday is sports night with the youth, Saturday a talent show, and Sunday is a special sacrament meeting!!

The second counselor spoke, and did such a great job tying it all in, and helping the members feel like they need to help us!  Members gave us references after, they are great, and everyone is super excited to help us out!! "Your faith will grow not by chance, but by choice!" we must choose to believe!! - "desire dictates our priorities, priorities shape our choices, and our choices determine our actions” the desires we act on determine our changing, achieving, and our becoming!"  

I love you all tons! Thanks for your love and support!

Sorry i don’t have the time to write you all, my time is so limited.
