Caleb turning 12 is just another sign that our family is maturing and growing more and more rapidly. I am a little surprised as well that Brother and Sister Eves are about to return as well. Rob Perry already got back and it seems like he just left. Time is going fast, it already is Febuary and it feels like no time at all, yet a lifetime ago that I left.
As for my study journal, I really should write more. I have learned much from reading Jesus the Christ but I haven´t written much down so I will have to read it over again to remember everything. I thank you for this because I went out of habit of doing it when I arrived [in Chile]. I did write my testimony two weeks ago though so I will send it now. I love all of you and hope things are going well.
Everything is really cheep, almost everything, and I don´t need much. I get about 65,000 pesos which is only about 100 dollars per month. I don´t use all of it still. The work here is going better. We are working a lot more with the members and are helping them understand how they can do missionary work. We have in this mission what is called "Familias BEEH," or in other words families that look, find, teach and befriend. We specifically help them understand each part and do each part. The members really are a lot more willing to help than I thought previously. But truly I can see here that families built on the gospel are truly much happier and have a plainer, more fulfilling life.
I am truly grateful for your example for me and what you taught. My foundation is truly in my family and for this I am grateful. You taught us the gospel from our infancy and so now our foundations are truly being built on Christ. You have done your children right, and we love you. We have parents that are strong and built on the foundations of the gospel that we can always look to. Examples of our parents in Heaven in whom we will always look for. Truly you may be at peace that you have taught us correctly and raised a generation unto the Lord, to raise a righteous posterity throughout all eternity. I really cannot express my gratitude and know that my gratitude only comes from one, that is my Lord and Savior.
The youth are built upon the foundation of their parents, and come into the world ready to learn from them. You are truly key in the Lord´s work in your children. Thank you. It makes all the difference in the world to have parents that are truly following the principles of the gospel and keeping their eternal convenants. You are a great blessing to your children and as such to the world.
Well as for how things are going here, I am having fun. My companion is great and I am learning Spanish very quickly. I really don´t have to think about it, speaking at least. I have to think about constructing sentences correctly as I would in English that´s just about it. I´m no great speaker by any means but I know enough already. I am still working on it though so that I can speak with more clarity and in a more effective manner. I have been truly blessed. I love you and have truly grateful for what you have done for me.
