Got the Package..


"What's up! Ok so first off I received a package. It's a little…special. I think a dog bit it or something. But it came! Thanks so much, Mom.

This week has gone by really fast…we continueto work with Robert and Elcira and they are set to be married this Saturday, with their baptism on Sunday! So that's pretty sweet. We continue to visit them often and I absolutely love the time I get to spend with their family. Once again I have forgotten to take a picture. They are the best. As we walked away from their house one day this week Elder Elguera turned to me and said, "You know what? If President opened up this area just for them, it was worth it." He's right. There is a change taking place in their family.

Tell everyone thanks so much for their letters…they lift me up a lot…Take care and thanks so much for your support." --Elder Bassett

ELDER BASSETT & ELDER ELGUERA

This is Garret and his great companion from Cusco, Peru! They are working hard for the Lord:

"There is so much more opposition against our church than any other church, just as there was so much opposition against He whom we represent—Jesus Christ. I learn something new every day I teach… The doctrine we preach is so simple. It makes perfect sense. But there is a key to knowing the truth—Prayer. The people who take the little step of faith and pray to their Heavenly Father for guidance will receive an answer, and these few people are the ones who choose to follow him. In the end the prayer is what makes the difference.

I love you all and hope all is well in the good ol’ states. As missionaries, we are inviting people to take an elevated path that will lead them to an elevated glory. Those who take this path will find happiness they never knew existed—But first they have to take a leap of faith. I like to think that the children of Israel had to get wet before the Red Sea opened… That they just kept moving forward as the water rose higher, trusting in their God and his mightiness to save. I love you all once again. Take care". --Elder Bassett
