Mine Intent is That I May Persuade Men to Come Unto God: New Area

¡Hola familia y amigos!

How are you all? I´ve loved reading your letters this week. I´m glad to hear you´re all doing so well.

I was so excited to hear about Cam´s and Bryan´s graduations. You two are super capos (studs), and great examples to everybody. I hope you had/will have wonderful celebrations and good starts to your next steps in life. Tell me how it goes. God really does know, love, and bless us. I hope that we can all realize a little more His hand in our lives.

That´s something that I thought as I left Aldo Bonzi. After going through so much and having so many experiences there, I felt somewhat like Nephi when he said to the angel, "I know not the meaning of all things, but I know that God loveth his children." That´s true! Never forget it, even when you feel down or lost.

I am now in a smaller city in the middle of campo se llama Junín. It´s about 4 hours west of Buenos Aires. It´s so beautiful here, and a totally different feel than Buenos Aires and it´s millions of suburbs. Todo tranquilo. My companion is Elder Ryan Kelley from Mesa, Arizona, and he´s a stud! He´s always laughing and telling funny stories - in the apartment, in church, in the streets and on our bikes. Yep, we´re on bikes. I feel more connected to Dad now, since he rode everywhere in Holland. It´s great because we can cover much more ground.

We´re share a little rama (branch) of about 50 active members with two sets of sister missionaries. The members are very nice, especially the Branch President, President Cortéz. We have a lot of work to do, though. We need to find new and good investigators a fúll and help them progress to baptism. We´ve also got plenty of reactivating to do. As a mission we´re trying to focus on priesthood holders and families. If we put in our part, it will come to pass.

Love you all. Keep being awesome. Thanks for your constant love and prayers.

Con amor,

Elder Blake
