The lord has many promises about tithing and one is in 3 Nephi (Book of Mormon). The Lord says that he the windows of heaven will be opened and we will receive so many blessings we won’t be able to take them all in! What a blessing it is to know that. Tithing can be a big sacrifice but it brings more blessings than the sacrifice itself. God doesn't need money, this commandment is more of obedience and when we are obedient there are blessings, 100% of the time.

This last week was a good one for us, we had two baptism sand they went well. We have been working on this family for about 2 months and sadly could not baptize the family, just the daughters. We have to marry the couple before we can perform the baptisms and we have had many problems with the government and their papers so were trying to solve them and then perform the ordinances this next week. Right now were looking for new people to teach, we have had to drop many people these past couple of weeks because they weren't progressing. It’s sad to have to drop someone because the message we have is the truth and they don't want to change to accept it. Maybe in a little while dad can teach them in Heaven.

We had a cool experience this week, I had the chance to go and climb up this clock tower that was like 3 or 4 stories high and while we were up there, there was a strong earth quake and that was pretty scary. The whole tower was shaking and swaying it was sweet but scary. All turned out well and i think only a couple of people died, from collapsing buildings but I'm all good.

 Be safe and happy this week and know dad is smiling down on you. J

Love, Cole
