The worth of souls

Mom, Dad and family,

This week was really exciting. We have been working really hard to have success and we gained a lot of great experiences. Sunday we had a baptism of a girl named (Siahra Cacerez) (9 años) It was exciting.
We took out a baptismal date with a Young man that is22 on Saturday. We were disappointed Sunday when we went looking for him (to go to church so that he can be baptized) only to find that he was not home. After our Sacrament meeting we went to his house and we invited him to go to the Sacrament meeting of another branch that is at 4-5 o clock. He was not really excited to go so I said "look if you want to be baptized it is very important that you can go to church. If you don’t you will not be able to be baptized"
He went with us to church in his suit and his tie. He is very excited again and I can testify that
THE WORTH OF A SOUL IS GREAT IN THE EYES OF GOD.
I WAS SOOOO GRATEULL TO HAVE SUCH A GREAT and SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE. I KNOW THAT GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! I AM EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR NEW CALLING. I KNOW THAT YOU WILL DO A GREAT JOB, LIKE ALWAYS, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

I DO HAVE INFO about the changes I AM GOING TO TAHUANTINSUYO I am going to die where I was born, and I have great news.

I love you and am so grateful for you.
I am glad that the Lord is blessing you. I hope you get better mom.
I love you,

Family and Friends,

This week was absolutely amazing.
We had a huge conference with ELDER GAVARRET from the 70. We were able to feel the spirit very strongly in the training that he gave us. He talked a lot about how we can have more success and I was able to find out a lot of things that I did not know before. I love the work of the Lord and am so grateful to be part of it for 2 more months. I was so grateful to be able to hear your voices and be able to tell you some things that I have learned in the mission.

Like I said we had a great Idea on how we can work more united with the members and we are going to be applying this plan with all of our members in our branch. I really feel that this will work and I hope that you guys can pray for me and my district. I love you and really hope that everything is excellent.

I feel very bad, once again I DONT HAVE THE TIME TO WRITE ANYONE ELSE, because we came from Chancay to HUACHO and we came a little late.
SORRY I LOVE YALL,

Cuidense mucho.

Upcoming Mother's Day Call

Family and Friends,
This week was fantastic.

Sometimes I don’t have the patience to wait for the progress of the investigators but then I remember just HOW PATIENT GOD HAS BEEN WITH ME and I think about how I can become better and have more patience with them. We had the Idea of asking God in a series of prayers (1 for every investigator) if they are really ready to progress or if they need time alone. We felt the spirit very strong and we were able to feel if the person was ready or if they needed more time.

My companion is coming out of his shell. He is new like you all know and really had a little bit of fear setting a baptismal but now we had a little division with two members and the result is that he set a baptismal date all by his self. He is really progressing and I know that he has a lot of potential. We are working more united and really are having a lot of spiritual experiences.

I love you all so much and am so grateful for your help in everything.

MOM I LOVE YOU AND HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT MOTHERS DAY!!! I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I HAVE UPDATES ON THE PHONE CALL.

ELDER BUDGE IS IN MY ZONE...HE IS FROM GRANDMA GRACES WARD. LET HER KNOW PLEASE

I really have learned so much in the mission. I have learned that you sometimes you can not know the importance or value of something until you have lost it or are separated from it. You and Dad are my heroes and I really am excited to hear your voices again.

CUIDENSE....LES AMO

What plans do you have for mother’s day?
I hope that you spend it having fun?
Remember that I love you and am so grateful for the impact that you have had in my life.
If it were not for you I wouldn’t have been born,
wouldn’t have had so many opportunities to grow,
probably wouldn’t have gone on a mission, etc.
Yo soy quien soy por tú causa . ___TRANSLATION: I am who I am because of you.

I love you mom,
LOVE YA’LL,

ELDER GRIFFIN
