Well fam............ WE DID IT. We were blessed with 451 baptisms in the year of 2011. just one over to give Satan a little slap in the face. haha but it seriously was amazing being in the office during the end of the year and seeing all these miracles come together and us reach the goal that we set 12 months ago. Thank you so much for all of your prayers, fasting, and faith. We really couldnt have done it without all of those things.
Wow the book that all the brothers and sisters made this year for mom and dad was amazing!! i love it! Ive been reading things that i never even knew about our family. I guess thats what happens being the caboose of 13. you just hear all the stories that happened 40 years before. Haha the book and pictures really made me realize how blessed i am to be in our family. Im convinced there´s no other family in the world as incredible as ours. I just also wanted to thank you mom and dad for all that youve taught me in my 19 years of life. You two are the closest examples to perfection anyone can get. Ive seen the way youve raised us kids and it makes me know what i need to do and who i want to be with my own future family. Thank you so much. I love you both. and i love you too rest of the fam.
The office life is good. ive pretty much learned everything i need to do with pisos, cars, orders, mail....... and the list never stops it seems like. its super busy all the time and im getting calls from missionaries all day long. Its actually a blessing being able to talk with everyone and meet the whole mission though. Can you believe President is trusting me to drive all around Barcelona?? Im loving it. Its pretty crazy sometimes and im pretty sure there´s like no laws to driving except for the speed limit. but its fun.A miracle i saw this last week was on sunday 1 of Jan. when we went to see a contact that we met in a visit with another investigator. We got to the building that she lived in and the main door was open so we just walked in. We realized inside that there were 2 staircases that went up both sides of the building and the numbers of the pisos were the same on both sides. So we just decided to go to the staircase on the left and knock the door of the address. A lady answered the door and we asked if our contact was there. She said, "oh you need to go to the other staircase, she lives over there." Instead of just saying thank you and going to the other staircase, we decided to take advantage and introduce ourselves. We talked for a minute, found out her name is Keli and she´s from Bolivia. Then asked her if we could come back another time to visit her. She thought about it for a second and then said, "well im about to eat my dinner right now... but could you come in for a little bit?" We went in and had a way good lesson zero with her. We asked her why she wanted us to come into her house and she said that it was a perfect way to start off the year talking and learning about God. She told us about how her grandma had passed away the day before and she´s learned just to put her life in God´s hands. Keli came to our family home evening activity on monday night and is progressing with the desires to get baptized. I know sometimes the Spirit works through us even without us noticing sometimes. If we are worthy and we have the desires to do God´s will, the Spirit will just work through us naturally. Keep praying for Keli and all of our investigators so that they can come to know of the truthfulness and enter into the fold of God.
I miss you all like crazy but im so glad to be out serving the Lord and helping His children find the happiness that our family has. The miracles never cease in the kingdom of God. Keep being the best family ever. Loves
Elder Reeves
