Heavenly Father,

Thanks for that miracle yesterday. We contacted Valentina and Esteban again, our neighbors, in the park. ¨Want to come to a FhE tomorrow with Presidente Coloma?¨ She replies, ¨Wow! Last night, I dreamt that I entered in that house, that my uncles were there (them, I don´t know), and that there was a big group of people! Yes we´ll be there!¨ This was a tender mercy from thee, thanks! In the last 20 minutos of the day we contacted them, and found Nicolas. I´m not sure if I´ve EVER taught a whole lesson in English until him! He lived in Boulder, Colorado, and Bend, Oregon. Climbs rocks. Likes to camp. etc. He´s pretty nifty, the English flowed pretty well!:)

I´ve learned a lot from inviting the Primary kids, and deacons to come with us to lessons (with permision from their parents, very very important, that mistake will not be made again:). In the streets with Lucas, Issac, Tomas, etc. Are they my little brothers, Hyrum, stevey???? Or little balls of energy, that contact with us? We´re in a lesson with Patricia and her son Vicente. Lucas shares his testimony, ¨I read the Book of Mormon with pictures, then I prayed.... to God.... and I felt.... good inside, like really good.¨ Who can contend with that??!:) They are also prone to whip out pistols and guns, or play machine gun in the street, haha. Tomas has a lot of faith, we set a goal to invite 5 people to a FhE, he did 7,8,9 invitacions in 5 minutes:)

Now this is not all; little ^bchildren dohave words given unto them many times, which ^cconfound thewise and the learned.

Thank you that Elder Graham could baptize Miguel (from Sisters Arzola and Periera)! Miguel's testimony made me feel the desire to continue iniviting everyone! I know that so many want to believe, but it´s hard. Even at times I feel that their words betray what they know! Inside of them, there is a light of Christ that says, ¨this is good, this is REAL, this is true...¨ They might say for now, but I know, there are so many that want to believe, that will believe, I commit to continue invitando with patience and love! 

We commit to keep inviting Flor! We´ve been obediente and working hard, but dry for baptisms in January. We´re going to help her for her date the 22 of Feb., and go to church instead of the street market. Will you help us out with baptisms in Feb? We´ll pray with everything we´ve got:)

Thanks Father for the package from my dear dear family and mother. I loved reading the letters from my friends and family! And eat salmon!

I love you so much, and my family and friends! I know Christ is my savior, my perfect example and thy son! Thank you for you mercy.

Elder Tasso

Family: Love you lots! Thanks for everything you do! All of you! love you a ton, thanks for your prayers I FEEL them right now and every week!:)
