Week 84

Well here it is week 84 and here is Jacob's latest letter. "Hey there!  What a pleasure it is to hear from you all!  It's actually been scorching hot here, but I'm constantly rubbing sunscreen on my face and arms.  It was a tough week, but also a blessed week.  We were given the priviledge of helping a couple get married and baptized in a little branch where there are no missionaries.  They had been going to Church for more than a year, but they weren´t married because the man needed to get divorced (something difficult to do in Mexico).  They were baptized in one of the gourgous beaches here in Veracuz.  Thanks a lot for sending me my schedule, when do you want me to return home? This week there are going to be some transfers in the zone and we're going to receive another companion who has had a tough time recently.  I'm really excited to get out and work and do everything I can for the people here. Could you tell my sisters to write me?  Haha, I certainly appreciate their letters of support every once in awhile.  Well, tell Pat that I say hi all the way from Veracruz.  I'm struggling but I'm certainly growing and experiencing the power of the Atonement.  There was never any event of equal importance neither will there be in our history and existence.  I declare that Jesus Christ lives and that He knows and loves even the worst of sinners.  His grace and mercy are great enough to defeat any affliction of ours, there is not much more to preach about, there is not much more to study about when one begins to understand the shere awesomeness that is the Atonement of Our Lord and the Sacrifice of Our Father in Heaven who withstood the pain of watching His perfect Son suffer without a single complaint.  I love the Lord and we must offer a sacrifice similiar to His if we are to become His disciples. -Elder Butterfield
