Week 66

Hello Family and friends, this week we had Zone Conference on Wednesday. Zona Monte Libano and Zona Dourados were part of this conference. It is the last Zone Conference of President and Sister Reber. They gave a really good training and President Reber had his ´last´ interview with us. Before a missionary goes home, President Reber always has one last interview with them to give them advice about marriage and things like that. But since President Reber is going home, he gave a last interveiw to all of us at the same time. haha  He shared a scripture with us, D&C 75 2-5. Verse 54 says  this: And thus, if ye are faithful ye shall be laden with manysheaves, and crowned with honor, and glory, and immortality, and eternal life.

President Reber said if we are faithful for this whole mission, we will recieve glory. Pres Reber bore his testimony that his glory is Sister Reber. And of course it was emotional. President Reber than asked Sister Reber what was her glory, and before she said anything she just started crying with joy and she said something like ´´My wonderful kids, and my husband. Without them, I am nothing.´´ I love their examples for me. President Reber said ´´Elders, your wife has a list of things she wants in her husband. And that list isnt short. I tell them to accept nothing but the best. Let God shape you into the man you need to be to fit your wife´s list.´´ And he said the same thing to the Sisters but opposite. He said ´your wife isnt going to accept anything but the best. And you shouldnt either.´´ 

I still have 8 months left before i come home, so right now im just focused on becoming the man God wants me to be. His message was, that if we are faithful, if we really mold into the man God wants us to be, we will be crowned with honor and glory. Which is our future wife and family. Im going to stay strong until the end and give all my heart, mind, might, and strenght every day so i can recieve these blessings! 

Yesterday, we had a Less Active family go to church. We have been working with them for a couple weeks and they finally came!! We loved it. And Rodir brought his wife and his 2 kids to church. They are absolutely amazing! We love them. 

Thats all for this week! I love you mom!
