Sometimes i forget of all the people at home i know and love and that i am actually from america hahaha. But really i love everything you do for me. Thank you thank you thank you for everything!!! I just looked at pictures of my district day i havent looked at for a while and WOW i have no idea what the deal is but it just makes me SOOOOOOOOO HAPPPPPPYYY to look at them in photos we have hahahaha.

Hahaha shauna durfy hahaha wow that is nuts!!! I will call you the Durfsters or something hahaha i love my family. They rock!!!
Ok now the spiritual doctrine stuff!!
Yes. What i have learned this week. I have realized that I am not here to do my will. The Lords will. I have been called by a prophet of god to share what I know and that is where my authority comes from. Its like Jesus in the New Testament. He always says something along the lines of i am not here to do my will but the will of my father. I realize it is the same with me. Everytime someone rejects me, slams a door in my face, laughs at me etc.. It is all rejecting the lord. But the lord always extends his hand. Like the Missionaries always inviting people to hear NO MATTER WHAT! It bums me out how confused people are in chile. The catholic church and evangelic churches really confuse the people. They are all so lost in this doctrine that is actually really simple just tried to be interpreted super deep. People almost start crying when i talk to them but then they remember THEY ARE CATHOLIC etc. and tell me that. I know they feel the spirit but they choose to reject it.
I have been studying in Preach my Gospel Ch. 1. My purpose. It is the best chapter in the book. In the MTC they ALWAYS talked about your purpose. But not until i have read it have i finally got why. It is the best chapter. It gets me pumped every time i read it. I love it!!! I have been called by God to share HIS gospel in HIS work. Im going to do it regardless what you tell me in the street! All of these things with charity.
Bueno well that is all the time i have for now familia! Read the scriptures!!!! The Book of mormon!!! I am in Alma! Where are your?! Thank you for the quotes! Im excited to talk and stuff i will find out when!
Love, Elder Reeder.
