Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the father: Ye shall have eternal life. -2 Nephi 31:20

Oficina week 18 - Filipino branch

Wow it was amazing to see those fotos mom and dad. That would be an incredible experience. You´ll for sure have to forward me that setting apart. Do you know how long the calling is going to be for? Are you going to have to live the law of consecration? Are you going to be travelling all the time? You might have already answered some of these questions in your emails but i havent read them yet.
I love my new companion Elder Garces. He is sooooooo good. He´s so bold and so loving and he knows exactly why he´s here. We´ve been completely starting our investigator pool over and we´re finding a lot of potentials. We went to visit Homer and Aida (the Filipino 1st counselor of the bishopric and his wife) this last sunday and a couple of other Filipino members were there. We taught them about missionary work and the importance of sharing the gospel with our friends and family. We read with them out of the Book of Mormon about the sons of Mosiah and how the thought of any soul perishing caused them to quake and to tremble. The spirit was strong and they understood the importance of their roles as members. We even told them that if we could get enough Filipino members that maybe we could start a Filipino branch here in Barcelona. They went nuts. That visit we got 8 references. We´re starting to see a lot of miracles and set baptismal dates. I know that as we keep working with the members and their friends and families, they´ll be able to enjoy the happiness of bringing their loved ones into the gospel.
I love you all fam. Keep being the best ever.

Elder Reeves
