well it ir really nice to hear from you guys. this week the work was pretty slow haha we are trying to try to find new investigators. and so it´s been pretty hard but asi es la vida. hahah it helps us to trust in God more when we have hard times. well i´m not really sure what to say about cameron except that i am so excitedfor him!! and that is so cool he´s going to the same mission as fox. too bad he won´t speak spanish but ohwell he´ll probablypick up on alittle bit. well i didn´t really think of something i could share with you guys this morning but then iremembered what happened with a menos activo we are teaching.he lost his hope when he realized that his wife and family were not on the same page en cuanto al evangelio. another example that happened too. in this case the brother was crying because his family didn´t want to listen. well it is really significant because we cannot reach the exaltation alone. we need eachother. like elder holand said, we are not in a race against each other, sino a race against sin. i know that families are so important and that if we are not united here on earth, we can not be united in heaven either. i know that we have a strong family but it is really sad to see families fall apart and to see grown men cry becasue of the difficulties that happenbecuse all of the members of the family do not want to live the gospel. well i know we have a strong family and i am so grateful we do. i guess if we feel like our family isgoing pretty well, we can dedicate more time to help other families that aren´t so strong. i know that helping others have a stronger will help us too. well that´s all i have to say for thisweek. i love you guys so much and i can´t wait until we live in the celestial kingdom together someday. until then, hasta la pasta jajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajjja

sup brock.well to answer your question, the missionary schedule is really fixed and you can´t change it a lot. we get 30 minutes to exercise every morning at 6:30 and then we have an hour to get ready and eat breakfast and then at 8 in the morning we have to do our studying .its weird at first having such a fixed schedule, but it helps you use the time better because the time god gives us to serve wit hall our heart , might mind and soul is very short. well i´m glad you´re doing good and thanks for sharing yhour testimony.its very strong. let me know if you have anymore questions and i want to know how your workouts are going adios

well hey there family. it´s pretty good to hear that everything is going well for you guys. i am doing good.this week went by really fast because we had to travel to cancun for a zone conference and then to merida for immigration. the zone conference was really good. every time we have one of the zone conferences, we are always reminded of all the duties we have as missionaries and all the things that we need to do better. in this zone conference, the president focused on teaching the doctrine of Christ. He said that we all need it and so i am suggesting to all you at home to study the doctrine of Christ. some of my favorite chapters of the bom are the ones where the gospel of Christ is taught like in 2 nefi 31, 3 nefi 11 y 3 nefi 27. you guys should study that because it is the base of what we do. it all depends on the gospel. we are in the process of enduring to the end right now and it is a critical step.

i´m really glad that you had the opportunity to listen to sister lloyd haha it sounds weird saying that but i guess that´s how it´ll be pretty soon. i´m glad you got to talk with the parkinsons too. well everything is going good for us out here. thanks for all the support and for all of the prayers. i love you guys a lot.

mother, that’s good you got to talk with chelsy. idk what happened to the letter, but it probably just hasn´t arrived yet haha but it would be better to just send the updates. i don´t think anyone would steal it. i´m glad you could do your garden and all that´. that´s what you do best haha and i´ll pray for anne. that´s pretty scary.

michelle i miss you too. thanks for telling me about the laser pen. haha if you need to use anything else, it´s ok. just put it back when your done and leave it in good condition. so if you need clothes or something you can use them just put the m back haha cuz i love ya hobe ahah but i´m glad you told me about your dream that´s super awesome. i have been praying to have a cool dream like that but nothing yet. i´ll keep praying. well i love you lots and that´s funny about the fish. they are still there,you guys just don´t know how to getthem out hahahahaha adios hermanita.

hermano, gracias por decir me de ella. ella es muy especial y es una ella-ada sentirse mal por cosas que pasan a otras y sentirse feliz cuando esta bien. entonces siempre esta trabajando en el 3 piso o estas flotando? manda saludas a mis enfermeras en sdch haha te amo mucho hermano y cuidatey gracias for decir me su sueno. es bien potenete y verdadero. asi fueron las acciones de cristo. how does deberian y deberán translate to english. o y gracias por los discos si los tienes adios te amo

To: Janel Coffman <janelscoffman@gmail.com>

wow brock you have some really powerful words. i really enjoy receiving these messages from you. it sounds like you are doing really good. i´m glad that you are going to church again. if you want something that you can do to really strengthen your testimony then you should try to share it with everyone especially with your family. it will help you to have a stronger testimony about Christ, God, the Book of Mormon and that Joseph Smith was a prophet and that we have a prophet today that receives revelation from God. well i know that this is the only true church in all of the earth and i know that Christ is the Savior of the world. i knw that we can be forgiven of our sins if we truly repent. i testify that families are eternal and that this should be your goal.  i know you have a strong testimony and i know that you can do a lot of good with it. use it to bless your family. well it was nice to hear from you. lots of love mi primo adiosçç
