August 6, 2012 Hey Family! This week was really great. The Gutierrez (Goo-tee-air-ess) Family is doing great. We have been working with them for so long, and I can tell that Satan does NOT want them to be in the Church. The hermana was telling us that as she was reading Alma 34 recently, she felt a a hot, painful sensation in her head, but kept on reading because she knew that el enemigo was trying to keep her from learning the truth. We had such a good lesson this saturday night though; we told the story of the people of Ammon and how they were evil, and a bloodthirsty people for a very long time. They then recieved the missionaries and had a wonderful, fantastic conversion. They then were commanded by the Lord to move to a place that they could reap and sow the principles of the Gospel more fully, in the lands of the people of Nephi. We noted how their children were blessed for generations and how amongst all the people, never was thier a happier bunch. We then talked about how a while ago, their family (Gutierrez) was not in the right path, and how, thanks to some wonderful Christian brothers and sisters from a different church, they had come to know the Lord and His words. And how now, we as representatives of the Lord are here to help them be where they need to be in order to be really happy and safe. The only thing keeping them from being baptized is that they don´t want to lose all their friends that have helped them through all the hard times of the last few years. They have testimonies of the Book of Mormon, the Prophet Joseph, and all other things necessary. Of course they have a huge testimony of the Lord, and of the Father. They have friends in the church and they came to church yesterday. Its just a matter of waiting for them to be ready I think. But let me say... I fasted like you this weekend, and we really saw miracles come from it. I know that it is a gift of God to be able to fast. Anyway, this week went really quickly. We have been making a lot of progress with our ward´s 555 program, and we are seeing the results of puting the plan of the Prophet into action. I am really excited for the coming weeks. This week is going to be nuts. Pday today, district meeting tomorrow, zone conference thing on wednesday, and then planning on Thursday. I will be able to work in the morning two days this week! Its crazy. Anyway, I am doing well and I am starting to sound more argentine haha. Everyone here says I sound like a mexican, which is wierd because there aren´t any here. I don´t know why they say that... But they think I look exactly like a soccer player from Mexico, who I don´t remember como se llama... Chincholito or something like that. Anyway, I will have a good week. Hope you all love The City of Sin. :) haha jk I <3 vegas. Elder Daybell
