I am out of time again, but here I go!!
Dearest Family,
I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
I carry around (along with my scriptures and notebook and other things) that booklet of pictures that Susana made for me (THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!) before I left.
I´m safe and well, and what´s more, I´m happy. I´m working hard, and I´m trying to do exactly what the Lord wants me to do. I have been set apart as a representative of Jesus Christ, and I can´t comprehend how wonderful it is to feel such authority and power when the Spirit testifies through our words. Wearing this Missionary Tag is an honor, and I treasure this opportunity to participate in God´s work.
This is part of a message I sent to my Mission President. I hope you like it:
Missionary work is work, but it is so much fun!! My companion (District Leader/Elder Sutton) and I have already been blessed by the Spirit so much--we´ve thought of ways to jumpstart our area (Vitoria), and to unify the ward.
Favorite miracle of the week--last night we were teaching an investigator named Sandra. While my companion had to go take care of his District Leader duties, the Spirit spoke through me to Sandra. I don´t remember what I said, but she is wanting to be baptized this Saturday!!
Heavenly Father is on our team, and we are His servants. I love that He loves us!
I hope things are going well, and I am excited to receive your response!
I love you all so much, and I hold you all in my heart.
Thank you, Susana and Mami, for giving me a family-wide update!! I´m sure Sofía did AMAZING on her play, and I hope you all have fun together this summer!! Good luck learning how to swim you guys--I wish I could be there!! No, scratch that--I´m VERY glad I´m doing what I´m doing, where I am doing, but I wish that I could have been there to help you all learn to swim before I had left. Oh well, no regrets--Heavenly Father´s plan is perfect, and what happens to us (without exception) happens for a reason. As my wonderful companion Elder Sutton likes to say, "There are no accidents!"
I love you guys so much!!! I´m praying for you all every day!! If there´s anything you guys need, or would like, me to pray for (haha, something that can wait until next Monday to be prayed for X) ), feel free to let me know!! I´d love to know what´s going on in your lives, and to hear any messages you have for me.
Thank you for your uplifting messages so far!!
Now the other Elders are telling me my time is up. Strict obedience brings miracles!!
Love always,
Your Elder Pablo Zubeldia
