Dear Family,
You all are my family and should all be addressed by family, because we all are sons and daughters of god and apart of gods family. Love you all and hope you all are safe. I am doing well. As far as health and life goes I am a happy camper. I have been really trying to gain more love for everyone here in chile. Love is something that I cant seem to understand but as I draw closer to jesus christ who is my perfect example I seem to develop this love. Jesus christ really is our savior and through who we may become perfected and develop those attributes that may be rough around the edges.
The Work:
Brothers and Sisters this is a great opportunity to let you all know that javiera will be baptized on the 19th of sept. She is really progressing and has made the decision to be baptized this day. YEAH!!!:) We have a family home evening this Tuesday and we will be playing pit ( The card game you sent me) and making some brownies! We are really getting the members involved here. The members have been leaving with us and we have seen a lot of success with our investigators!:) We are hoping to get a few baptism squeezed into this month.
P-Day:
Today we played soccer at the church and made what is called choripan. Its an amazing sausage here in chile in a small dinner roll. MMM soo good. We will spend the rest of our day relaxing and getting ready for this week.
When Satan Fights We Must Fight Back:
Recently pitrufquen has gone through a few blows to the face due to infidelity in the familys. There has been two familys effected by the temptations and whisperings of the devil. I sat in a small two storie house and watched a wife cry on the couch for the dificult situation she has encounterd with her husband.
I pondered and meditated on how ten years of marriage was just gone away and all of their goals and life ambitions were just swept. He left his wife and a small 6 year old girl behind.
Just so you know she is doing better but for about 6 months they were inactive and werent doing the small things such as reading the scriptures and praying and going to church. Satan finally got ahold of this family. Do the simple things and they will build our concrete foundation for the lord jesus christ who is our rock.
This experience made me think about my future and what I want to do and who I want to have at the center of my life.
In Conclusion:
I know that Jesus Christ is our savior and that we must be reading, praying and going to church every week. On top of that we must strive every day to obey the commandments of the lord. If we dont we are as the dust in the wind. Satan is trying to destroy familys and we need to protect our familys now and until the end of time. I know who I am. A son of god. I know who you are, and we must stand together and rally up our forces like moroni did with the title of liberty. Because every day things will get worse and it will be harder and harder to protect our familys in the world of free agency, where more people are turning to the strength of man then trusting in our savior. Trust in him and we will not fall.
Love,
Elder Van Pelt
