Jesus is our Rock

Mom, Dad and family;

This week was a week to remember, we had the baptism Saturday and the bad thing is that no one showed up from the ward, our ward mission leader, us and our golden family of three that have a date later in the month. (MITCHEL, PATRICIA, AND BRISA) They showed up and I felt bad that they had to see that none of the leaders showed up to the baptism and that the investigator didn’t show up either.
ON SUNDAY WE HAD THE BAPTISM OF JACOB¨10 yr old¨ his inactive parents and grandma came to the baptism.
Sunday, the family above went to church together for the first time and are very excited for their baptism on the 13 of March. I AM ALSO VERY EXCITED about Angie and Juanita, it`s an interesting story. I contacted her with my companion. She was arguing with a man (an acquaintance that didn`t fix the T.V. like she needed) in front of her house. I felt we needed to talk to her. We taught her and the man for about 20 minutes, and the man was very negative and really did not want to hear us. We returned days after to visit her to find out that she had invited another friend to the visit, Angie. After a couple of visits we learned that the two of them have husbands. Angie hasn`t assisted the church but told Patricia that she also wants to be baptized. So on Tuesday we will take a baptismal date for the 20 of March.
Que dice la vida, translation: what does your life say, translation gringo: how is the life? I really don`t understand sometimes the leaders, but we are so blessed to live in a place as holy as UTAH. (We told Elder Griffin that people all over the world have a problem obeying the Sabbath Day especially in Utah, where we should know better). I totally corrected them in a talk that I gave about how we can become founded upon the rock of our Redeemer.
The Earthquake in Chile, area was built upon the beach. GOD GIVES US MANY SIGNS AND EXAMPLES IN THE WORLD IN WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF WE ARE NOT PREPARED.
How can we be built upon the Gospel
-Prayer
-Study of the scriptures
-obey the commandments.
-fasting
-going to church and keeping the Sabbath day holy.
After my talk we went to call in a market and saw members buying things.
I Don’t UNDERSTAND IT!!! I know that the LORD will judge them and I don`t really need to.

I LOVE YOU.
I am so grateful for the blessings that we are receiving. I know that the Lord is blessing us.
I LOVE YOU GUYS AND HOPE THAT LIFE IS GREAT.
ELDER GRIFFIN
