Today was the preapration day. Yesterday I haad an interview with a young man (9) in Bajio- Hernand- o algo asi- I was able to study my scriptures in English and Spanish today. The ^zone^ meeting was really great tonight--it was about animo. Elder Vasquez is a great teacher. I wrote a letter home today --told them--about the area conference and the Ramiros. I sure hope everything works out with them. We haven't had any baptisms for a while - though we have many on the line. Elder Bravo is a great companion. This is the Lord's work - if it weren't, I don't know if I would do it. I'm grateful for my testimony. I want to work harder. ^Put^ All my heart, might, mind, and strength into this work- and nothing less. Jesus Christ gave us all He had - can we expect to give any less? Joseph Smith is a prophet. The Book of Mormon is true. I love testifying of these things. The greatest events of the Restoration. I know they're true; and I know it with an unshakable certainty. I know that the priesthood is sacred. I've used it. Since the one in Bajio and the Hma. here, I've blessed *a* 2 young children, and Elder Bravo. I guess he had a little gripe. I wasn't sure he was serious at first. I really enjoy the companionship of the other missionaries in the Zone. They are great people! I want to do better, and with the Lord's help, and only with the Lord's help, I will. This is my mission. These are the moments that I've been waiting for and saving up for since I was 3 or 4 years old. I love the Lord. He leads this church. Gordon B. Hinckley is His prophet. I know IT. THE GOSPEL IS TRUE!
