This week has been Great! We have been so blessed as we have been on the Lords Errand in Jutiapa this past week. To start off the week we had been working hard with Adelina to help her stay strong and keep progressing. She is awesome and has kept all of here Commitments! On Friday we got up early in the morning to go to a mission council and we were on the bus for a very long five hours each way due to heavy end of the month traffic. Please count your many blessings that you don't have to have that kind of traffic:) the meeting was inspired although the way was hectic. We Left as soon as we could when the meeting ended forgoing fotos and lunch and ran back to our area. We arrived at5:15 at the church and just in time to meet Adelina arriving with many ward members for the baptism! the baptism was awesome, I am amazed and honored to see the hand of the lord work in the details of our lives. The atonement is so real and yes, so essential for our peace, happiness and growth. This weekend We were also blessed to listen to living prophets and living apostles and leaders of our living (and loving) heavenly Father. The messages were inspired and I hope that you feel as i Did, that each word was directed specifically at you. One of the thought shared by Elder Stevenson really impacted me. In essence he said " As you bear witness, Witness is born to you." I know that this promise is true. The great commission to share the Gospel is so important! The way that we see people is how we treat them, and the way that we treat them can be a determining factor on who they will become. I feel that each of us as servants of God can see his children with his type of perspective if we so desire and strive to be able to do so. To see them worthy of divine rescue. I love this work and I testify the blessings that come through sharing the Gospel. Joseph Smith was a Profeta, Jesus Christ lives, and the Book of Mormon is the work of God. Have a great week!

Dear Elder Grant,

Thank you for the Scripture: Mosiah 2:9--I read it and it is so good to be prepared. Conference has been wonderful!  Really every talk is so sacred and special. Some in particular: The sweet Elder from Japan:Kazuhiko Yamashita of the 70: Are we Ambitious for Christ: to be on the covenant path we: 1) Serve faithfully 2) accept humbly 3) endure nobly 4) pray fervently 5) partake worthily. The elder reminded me of you and your diligence-the elder who had one leg and a prosthetic leg; so humble and willing to serve. Another talk-by elder Cornish on: you are good enough if you really try, repent, don't rationalize and don't rebel.

The temple opened up on the 26th, I was able to to some sealings and put your name in---particularly for your health, sorry to hear you have been sick, I could tell a couple of voice mails ago that you sounded congested. 

It is probably a good thing to be sleeping in a hammock--- at teacher I teach with served her mission in your mission; she said the fleas were out of control-especially in the beds; have you found that to be true? So If it were me I would sleep in the hammock if it is conducive to your back. I loved the message of Elder Ochoa-to have the doctrine of Christ written on our hearts and to have faith unto repentance- the fruits of repentance--what are the fruits of repentance?

Erin had her first Homecoming Dance, she went with a great group of kids. If fact on the way up to the day date, they listened to conference. The guys wanted to break up the dance and go to the priesthood session Saturday night, but the moms convinced them otherwise.
