Hola Mi querida familia!!!!!!!!
I would like to start out by thanking you for all of your e-mails. It is always great to hear from you. Things are going well here in Villanueva and we are seeing some progress here in our area. We have had some good appointments this week and we have some good possibilities coming up. Our first one is the Ponce Family. They are a great family. The husband is one of those guys that just loves the word of God and he has been to church 3 times now and his wife has been 2 times. We talked to them about getting married last week but when we went by this week they were questioning a little more about doing it so we challenged them to pray to know if this is what they should do. They said that they feel like it is what they need to do so this week we’re going to go and verify everything. They really like the church and have been going to most of the activities as well and really love them. Their little kid is best friends now with some of the members’ kids so that is really helping. They still need to do more of their part. They read but they need to do a little bit more so that they can gain a strong testimony of the restored gospel. So keep them in your prayers so they can get married. We also have this young man named Jonathan. He is 17 years old and has been changing a lot. He is passing through a humbling time in his life. He has a super bad ear infection that he hasn't really been able to find anything to help heal it. We gave him a blessing and now he is taking injections to help. So we have been working with him a lot and he has had a big change so we’re going to keep on working with him. We also found out that our other family can get married. The husband got married in the states about 12 years ago but he said that the lady that he married called him a few years back and told him that they were divorced but he never signed anything so we have been waiting to verify it. I was talking to Elder Jones (our A.P.) about it and he talked to President Veirs and they said that he can get married so that was some awesome news for us. But she might have to have a surgery pretty soon so she is going to go and see when they’re going to do it today. I've been praying that she won’t need the surgery for a while - haha. We have a few more people and we’re going to keep working with them. We had 16 at church on Sunday and it was really great. So we were really happy. We also had a zone leader meeting this week and it was way cool. We had a video conference with Elder Martino. He wanted to talk to us because when he came here to teach zone leaders we told him that all of us were going to baptize a family this month - but only like 4 companionships got it so he wanted to know what happened. Then he gave us the offer that he will take us for a steak dinner if every zone leader companionship baptizes a family in this next month. He also gave us some encouraging words. President Veirs said that Elder Martino will be the Area President starting in August. He's a cool guy. I'm excited for this coming week. We’re going to do divisions with the AP's tomorrow and we should be able to set some more baptism dates. The mission is awesome and of course there are hard times but there is always something new that I learn. Right now in my studies I have been trying to finish the bible. I have about 100 pages left. The bible is awesome (new testament especially) but sometimes hard to understand everything. It teaches a lot about the organization of the Church along with the ordinances that we need to have and how we should do them. Well, thank you so much for all that you do for me. You guys are all the best.
I Miss and Love You All!!!!!!!!
Elder Kapple
