Wow it sounds like you are all having a great week and it is so great

to see that are family  really is progressing.

And Makenna looks great with her things for Halloween.

2. I am keeping a Journal each day. I have missed about 5 days during

the mission and it is my goal to continue with this until the end of

my mission. It is so cool to see how i am changing througho0ut my

mission and it is literally impossible to remember all of the miracles

that we experience.

this week we had the baptism of Abril and of Ramon.

It went so well, it was the first baptism that I have had that I was

really worried, because I was senior companion, after a little bit one

of my leaders named Hermano Reodriguez told me to be calm... this

really struck me. up to this moment in my mission I have done

everything rushed and as fast as I can... I have worried a lot and not

lived in the moment like i should.. the moment that he said that i

think will change the rest of my life. This transfer we have worked

hard. we entered a new area and we had 2 baptisms and i know that the

lord is pleased with what we have done, but also he wants me to

recognize that to help others not everything has to be perfect, as

long as we are trying are hardest to be obedient and trying our

hardest to help others we will be blessed. not everything is perfect.

This transfer has changed my life and I know every transfer in the

mission will continue to change my life.

Love,

Elder Hicks

I did not share a scripture with you..

I know that only through christ can we overcome the spiritual death and the physical death it is so great to know that we are going to live again with our father..

Mosiah 16;9 He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened; yea, and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death.

I invite you to think about what the scripture really means... and i hope you are all still reading the book of moromon everday for christmas we are all going to finish it.
