11 Baptisms this month

Well another short e-mail. ha. I really love you all so much. That kind of sucks that you got food poisoning. I really hope that you are both a lot better now. This last week was just full of surprises and full of ups and downs. Well I will have to just review my week really quick for you all. Sorry about that...
1. Well I and my companion were really blessed this last week and month. We finished the week will 4 baptisms, and the month with 11 baptisms. It was a great month and a great week. I really do not understand why the Lord decided to bless us so much. I know that it was nothing that I really deserved.
2. God really does work miracles!!!!! I know that this is true. I am so glad that he is a God of miracles. It also seems like the miracles never really come easy but they really do come. I think at times we start to think that things happen because of luck and forget that the hand of the Lord is in all things. I think that luck does not really exist in a lot of things but I believe that blessings and miracles happen and that the Lord just decides to bless us every once and a while and sometimes we mistake his hand in all things for luck.
3. Satan is real and if we do not prepare ourselves he will tear us down. We really need to be spiritually strong at all times. He works a lot with doubts. Lots of times when we are about to do something that is really great Satan then starts to work on us. That is what he did this week. 4 more sons and daughters of God were going to be baptized and man did he work to try to make these baptisms not happen, but when we work our hardest and trust in God we will always be stronger than the enemy. We have a Body and we have God on our side or in other words he has the winning combination!!! We will always come out on top if we try our hardest and trust in God, but if we start to doubt ourselves and God that is when the enemy will take control.
4. Well I really cannot believe it but next week I will be starting my last transfer on the mission. I will be able to tell you next week where it is that the Lord would have me be for my last 6 weeks of my mission. I really cannot believe that the mission is coming to an end. I have so many mixed feelings but the feeling that I have more than the rest is that I have to continue to work hard. I feel as though if I work my hardest these last few weeks I will be able to learn so many things that will be able to help me for after my mission. I need to work hard and I will work hard with the help of the Lord. I just hope and pray that you will all pray for me because I will have to admit that I am tired but I will not give in. I love my mission so much and my savior for this very reason I will try my hardest until the very end o my mission. After I finish my mission I will start to think about the things that I will do after the mission. One thing at a time! It will be hard for me to end my mission but at the same time I will be excited to see you all. I love you all so much.
I hope that all is well. I know that this is the true church here on the earth. None of us are perfect but with Christ all is possible and we can be made better. I love my savior Jesus Christ. I know that he died for me and loves me. I really hope and pray to become better. It is really hard but I know that I can become better. I need to become better and through Christ´s sacrifice I can. I love my Father in Heaven and I know he loves me and knows me. This is what God would have me do at this time in my life. I Love this church and gospel and know it is true. I love you all so much and know that we can all go back into the presence of God one day but to be able to do this we have to work as a team. This last week was filled with so many things but just let me see a few phrases to end. God sends angels to help us in our times of need (they can be visible or not visible angels), God loves us, the good will always beat the evil, and miracles can happen if we do our best!! I love you all and until next week..
