WELL... i am kind of sad right now because i am already 1/4 done with my mission, but am happy with the success and the blessings i have received until this point. the work is so great here in Siaton. the members are all so supportive of the missionary work here and are always willing and ready to help with referrals and being present for lessons to investigators. i really love all of the people here!! last night we had a family home evening/birthday party for a tatay in the branch who is a convert of one year. it was so much fun!! the food was so yummy that we ate and we played some games that were super fun too. the best part though, was that we taught a lesson about the temple, and how we always need to have our focus pointed towards it. i was also able to exhort tatay Romero and his wife to prepare now to be sealed for time and all eternity so when his wife hits her one year mark (july 2) they can enter into that covenant. so special and exciting!!! it was also great because their son, who is not a member, was present for the lesson and the whole activity. it was so much fun and the spirit was really strong as well. my life is so great being a missionary. it is really hard at times, but i know in my heart that the reward is indescribable and so much greater than the sacrifice. it is so awesome having the many promises directly from heavenly father to us through the Book of Mormon, and other scriptures. i love the fact that the knowledge i have gained through the holy ghost concerning the eternal welfare of us all can be a motivating factor in being diligent and obedient as a missionary. i really love this special time i have here, and with only 18 months left to go it is crunch time to teach and preach to as many people as i possibly can. thanks for all of the prayers and love i feel that keeps me going every day. stay firm in the faith. i know god lives and loves us all. Jesus Christ is the redeemer of all mankind. Don't ever forget that.
much love, Elder DeSchepper
