Another Amazing Letter from Rees

Ok, so this week was good. The weeks seriously go by like days. Before I know it it´s the end of the week and we´re in sacrament meeting again. I´m not sure if time is going fast for you guys but I can´t believe it´s already almost been 4 months! Christmas is already creeping up and that will be 6 months! So, the re-dedication of the temple here is the 16th of November, and the open house for the temple is from the 20th of this month until the 8th of November. We are going to do the tours and stuff so that should be pretty exciting. Also, on the 15th, they are going to have a big culture night in the big stadium here so that should be cool. The prophet is gonna be there and all the youth in like all the stakes are gonna do this huge dance, and 8 missions from mexico are gonna be there and we´re all going to sing. Ya, it´s gonna be pretty cool. You should see if there is any way you guys can watch it. That would be super sweet. So ya, we´re all super excited for that. Anyways, we got to baptize a kid Omar this past Sunday. He´s 18 years old and he´s super cool. He loves learning about the Gospel. He was nervous for his baptism but after, he was so happy and was saying how great he felt. I just can´t explain how amazing it is to see people receive a remission of their sins. So when Dalin H. Oaks spoke to us in the MTC, he talked about how important the sacrament is for missionaries. It has really hit me since I´ve been here, how amazing it really is. It´s just like a baptism for a new convert. All their lives they´ve had sins and problems, and each one is like putting a little rock in their shoe, and then when they´re baptized they can just dump all the rocks out. I feel the same way about the sacrament. All week we work and work and things just build up, and it is amazing to take the sacrament and just feel relieved. Elder Oaks talked about how we can´t teach without the spirit, and we can´t have the spirit if we´re not worthy, and the sacramnet is how we stay worthy. It is so true, but not only for missionaries, but for everyone. Every week we get the chance to renew our convenants witht he Lord and feel that cleansing power again; it is such an amazing gift we have from the Lord. Anyways, that´s about it. I love you all and hope all is going well at home. Check and see if you can watch the thing the night before the re-dedication. It will be super amazing. Take care. and tell everyone I say hi. Love you all.
