Everything is going really good here in Casper.
This week has been pretty good. We put two people on date to be be
baptized for the 24 of May so we are super excited about that. They are
really good people. they came to church on Sunday and they are really
trying their best and are really excited for baptism. If everything goes
good that would be my first baptism.
All week we have been biking everywhere. Which is no fun because of
all the hills but saves or miles for p-day. Going to bed is nice
because our legs are tired and from being out in the sun all day we just
crash. But we don't mind biking at all. We get all the work that we
need to done. Whats funny is I have the same bike that Jake has back
home. But the most exciting day this week was yesterday, Sunday.
Saturday night we received a call from our Spanish group leader asking
us if we would give the talks in Sacrament meeting tomorrow on Mothers
day....in Spanish. I freaked out. I started putting together my talk in
English and then I translated it to Spanish. Elder Juarez made many
corrections to my Spanish. But I was so nervous up until I gave my talk.
While I was giving my talk my face got super hot. I was trying my best
not to look at my notes and just talk but I was so scared I was going to
say something wrong. Elder Juarez said I did good. But when he gave his
talk he didn't have notes or didn't really prepare. He made it look so
easy. Then after church we were able to Skype our families for Mothers
day It was super amazing. I miss my family so much. its hard to not be
able to talk to them. Its almost been 4 months and I feel like
everything has change already. So it has been a really good week. Can't
wait til this week. I love you all and at the end of this letter is my
talk that I gave on Sunday. Hope I spell it all right.

Hola hermanos y hermanas.
Feliz dia las madres. Me an pedido que pueda hablar hoy acerca de la
inportancia de las madres. Estoy tratando de hacerlo en Espanol,
entonces espero que no serian. En el capitulo 56 de Alma, Habla acerca
de los des mil Jobenes Lamanitas. Los dos mil Jovenes Hijos de Helaman
peliabon con un maravilloso poder, y ninguno de ellos fue muerto. En
Alma 56:47-48 dice... La rason por su sabiduria, fuerza, y poder fue por
lo que sus madres les ensenaron. Nuestras madres nos an ensenado
muchisimas cosas. Como misioneros, nosotros somos soldados del Senor.
Nosotros dependemos en todo lo que nuestras madres nos an ensenado. Yo
estoy exremadamente agradecido por mi mama. Les contare que: Mi padre
esta en las fuerzas armadas. Cuando era mas pequeno, mi padre fue
reclutado muchisimas veces. Y tenia que viajar mucho por muchos anos. A
un punto mi madre tenia 3 ninos, todos a la edad de menos de 5 anos.
Ella es una de las personas mas fuertes que conosco. Pero una de las
cosas mas importantes es que ella le enseno a mi hermano y a mi, cual
importante la oracion es en la vida, y como obtener un testimonio del
evangelio.
En Mosiah 13:20 dice... Dios nos manda a honrar a nuestros padres y
nuestras madres. Mi meta en esta vida es que ellos esten orgullosos de
mi. Me gustaria agradecer a todoa las mamas, usteded an sido llamadas
por dios a ser madres. Hacegurensen que sus hijos les agradescan. Hay 2
videos en lds.org acerca de las madres. Les invito a todos a verlos hoy en la tarde.
Then I bared my testimony in english.
Digo estas cosas en el nombre de Jesucristo amen.
