Email: September 20, 2010

wow.... Time goes by like crazy! I have already been in the city of Milwaukee for almost exactly 4 months! It sure does not feel like that. But well, it is true and transfers are coming up soon. So, let's see what will happen. More for me to do here, or is there something new the lord wants me to do in another place of his vineyard? Saturday we will hear.

Lot has happened to me in this city. I came and struggled, with people and places. Things became rather hard for me. But then, it changed, because of the loving care of my mission president (who by now is back in utah and we have a new one now). I learned to love my mission for what it is and to be grateful for the many blessings i do have in my life.

After that beginning period here, I was allowed to train a new missionary, who was eager to work and helped me to regain my focus.

Of all that time, I have already given some updates before and now things here in the city might come to an end for me and I am learning to appreciate it more and more, every day.

Our efforts are strong and fruits of our labors are visible, though maybe slowly coming. The members of the branch are marvelous and we love working with them, especially as they are starting to love working with us.

This last week we were privileged to teach the friends of the McAllisters, a family that has become very dear friends to me, throughout the last few months. They are examples of faith and love and have helped me a lot. I was so grateful for the chance to teach their friends and to show our appreciation for the gospel to them. Things are developing and coming along with them. They were prepared for our message and are working with the McAllisters now for future meetings. Good things to come.

Other than that, things are just going and going... :)

I just love being here and enjoy every minute of it. I am glad I have the chance to do this.
Thanks, for all the prayers that are being offered for me. I feel them and appreciate them a lot.

I hope things go well for all of you and wish you all the best. Take care.
