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

Barcelona week 24 - Elizabeth and the Book of Mormon

FAMILIA,

Well for everyone i wont be able to see on Christmas, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Hope you have a wonderful time together and that you remember the real purpose of celebrating Christmas. Christ is our Savior and our Redeemer. Let us all give Him gifts this next year by giving Him our hearts and dedicating ourselves even more to Him. I love Jesus Christ and i love his gospel.
Allyson, sorry in the last email i just kind of freaked out and didn´t say CONGRATULATIONS!!! I really am excited for you. Even though i wont be there I wish you the best and hope that everything goes super well with the wedding. Tell Tim welcome to the fam.
As far as Skype goes, I think that we´ll be calling around 8:00 PM our time which would be 1:00 PM your time? is that right? or maybe 12:00 PM.... I cant remember the time difference. But it will be on the 25th. Could someone send me there account info with the password and i could just get on that account and call from it? That would be the easiest i think. If not then i´ll find a different one.The miracle that i want to write about is about Elizabeth. She´s not in the best situation because she´s still in the same piso with her ex boyfriend and other people but because they have a 3 year old daughter that is in a care center for little children, she has to stay in a stable place so that the government can give her her daughter back. If she moved out of the piso she wouldn´t be able to pay for rent because she isn´t working. Pretty complicated but she plans on getting her daughter back and then being able to move out. The miracle is that despite all these problems in her life, she´s been able to stop smoking, live the law of chastity and make all the necessary changes to be able to be baptized. She tells us that every time she has the desire to smoke, she just feels bad and she doesnt want to smoke anymore. Elder Cerqueira and I feel like it´s because of the power of the Book of Mormon. She´s now at the end of 2 Nephi and loves reading. She feels more calm and happier every time she reads it. It´s her way of getting her mind off of her problems. It´s incredible to see the power of the Book of Mormon work in her life. She´s going to be having her baptism interview tonight and her baptism is this weekend. She´s had some more problems come up during this week because satan knows the blessings she´s going to receive but we´re praying that she´ll be able to overcome them and make this step so important in her life.
Pray for Elizabeth.
Love you all like crazy. See you soon!

Elder Reeves
