Dear Family, Mom, Dad, Cami, Mark and Cari,

I love you all sooo much. I don´t have tons of time today but for these precious minutes I will try to communicate my love to you and help you live my mission with me.

This week has been great. Elder Gomez and I have been struggling to reach the goals of the mission in lessons taught. We are not depressed but motivated to find a better way to find success. We are super happy, however, with the progress of Segundo Moina. He actually wasn´t able to come to church this last Sunday, because he came home late, at around 4 o clock in the morning. We met with him that night and were able to talk to him a little bit more regarding about how we missed him at church and we shared with him the Word of Wisdom. He has had problems with this in the past as he occasionally smokes, drinks, and drinks coffee in the mornings(I believe everyday). He is so cool, because after we explained to him what was that law, he honestly told us that he had never known about it and in his closing prayer he thanked Heavenly Father for us and in teaching him some commandments that he had never known. He is really special and I love being a missionary in moments like that, because you realize that some people, like it says in D and C, don´t know where to find the truth. He is very willing to do what is right and is progressing wonderfully.

I had to mention quickly what we did a couple of weeks ago. We had a district lunch, together. Two companionship of Elders and two of sisters. Elder Gomez and I were going to use a recipe in your cookbook ¨Oh my Gosh your going to like this, Casserole¨ but we ended up switching, and cooking Chicken Enchiladas in the same recipe book. It turned out fantastic and chose to swith the name t0o ¨Oh my gosh your gonna love these Enchiladas.¨ We thought it was a very appropriate name and we had a bunch of laughs out of it. They turned out perfectly.


I am sorry that I have run out of time. I love you all and pray for you.

I love you and wish you a wonderful week,

Love,

Elder Driggs,

Keep smiling.
