The ward in which Seth is serving had a "family night" this past Friday.

It seems the evening began with a lesson as all good family nights should.

The post-lesson activity was a three legged race.  Obviously, the only running mate that would be appropriate for a missionary is his companion.

I took the liberty of inserting a line to highlight the differences in heights. It is interesting to note that Seth's companion is from another part of Mexico. I don't know if he is an anomaly where he lives but the contrast is noteworthy.

Seth's zone gathered on Saturday so that all could be interviewed by President Haws.

Here is an excerpt from what Seth said about that experience. " I loved the interviews that we got to have with President Haws. While we were waiting for our turns we were introduced to the new Christmas Initiative and Video from the Church. It will be rolled out this Friday, so I can't share it till then. It really is special though and I hope you all can participate in it... One scripture that President Haws told me that I liked a lot was that those who forget themselves in the service of God will have the blessings and knowledge poured upon them like the dews of Heaven. It is interesting to think about how dew is formed and what is implied but this scripture."

I liked Seth's report on one of their investigators. "I'd say that our investigator that is truly trying and following up in all things is Luis Alfonso right now. As you may remember he has struggled with almost every major commandment, but he has read more of the Book of Mormon than any of our investigators, and has attended every meeting that he could ever since he started investigating. Last night (Sunday) we gave him a blessing to help him stop his addictions, and the Spirit was very strong in the visit. We brought a young man named Porfilio to the lesson and he shared Isaiah 1:18 to Luis which brought a special spirit of the Atonement. We are trying and trying with Luis in the hopes that we can present him to the Lord to enter into the covenant of baptism to start his life anew.  Every time that we have visits with him my faith builds in the Lord."

Finally, here is his testimony.

"Sé que si podemos seguir el Señor y darnos a Su voluntad, vamos a ser bendecido en todas las cosas. Sé que Él esta bendiciéndonos en todas las cosas y contestará todo que le pedimos en fe. He visto que Él me ha dado cada cosa que le he pedido, y Él hará el mismo con cada uno de sus hijos. Sé que podemos poner todo de nuestra confianza en el Señor, y cuando lo hacemos, seremos mas bendecido que en cualquier otra manera. Los convenios del Templo son poderosos, y son verdaderas. Necesitamos tratar con todo de nuestras corazones a guardarlos. Sé que Cristo vive, y Él sufrió y murió para nosotros, y [digo] estas cosas en Su nombre con todo mi Fe."

(I know that, if we can follow the Lord and give ourselves to His will, we are going to be blessed in all things. I know He is blessing us in all things and will aanswer all that we ask in faith. I have seen that He has given me every thing that I have asked of Him and He will do the same with every on of His children. I know we can put all our confidence in the Lord and, when we do it, we will be bless more than en any other way. The covenants of the temple are powerful and are true. We need to try with all our hears to keep them. I know that Christ lives and He suffered and died for us and I say these thing in His name with all my faith.)
