Ethan's letter 18 / 2014 Viedma, Argentina May 12, 2014



Dear Family,
I am so grateful to have had the timing work out well enough that i could talk with my whole family(minus dad) on Skype yesterday for Mothers Day! It was such a true blessing to be able to talk with Elder Morgan Durocher for Skype also. I am so blessed to have such a great family! I really believe and know that we have all been so blessed from our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ because seriously we are just awesome!! I love you all so much and wouldn't trade our Family for anything! Lindsey, Adrienne, Michelle, and Apollo you are apart of our Family and i am so thankful for you. 

   This week we worked super hard and got a lot of work done. We didn't have great numbers but we changed as a companionship. We are stronger and have  been refocused on the Work. We lost the focus a little bit when we got sick for a week-ish and we couldn't leave that funk of just being out of it for a week. Now we are going all out and we have been doing awesome. 

   For Example: We were walking from setting things up at the church and were planning on contacting. We were passing a street and i wanted to turn and pass by for a contact that I had done with Elder Oruna almost 2 months back. We were approaching his house as he was pulling out of the house and left in his car.... So I decided to contact the house right next to it.... ha so it didn't look weird if we just turned around. So we contacted this house and a women came out to the gate and we started to talk. She opened up right away and said that her husband has just died about 20 days prior or earlier and was really upset about that. She had just been in the house on the couch looking around at everything and she was just reminded of her husband. She imagined him sitting right next to her and just like that we clapped(knocking here in Argentina) and she came out. We explained The Plan of Salvation. It was so powerful and i am so thankful that the Holy Ghost guided me to her house at the moment and that we could share this wonderful message of peace with a women in distress. She committed to come to church and we will be passing by to talk some more with her. 

  I know that i am a servant of Jesus Christ like in 3 Nephi 5:13 i love this scripture because it is so true! I am a servant of Christ and so are all of you. Do you part to help bring the children of God unto our Savior and Redentor (Redeemer? I cant spell in English so here it is in Spanish). Go unto the Children of men and bring the Joy and Peace of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you for all that you do!!!

I love you all!!!

Con Amor Elder Ethan C. Durocher!
