*NEVER BE DISCOURAGED BECAUSE LIFE IS GREAT IN BUCKEYE WITH ITS BEAUTIFUL SUNSET*

Hola Familia y Amigos,

Como estas todo?  I am doing great here in Buckeye - Sharing the Gospel and helping our Heavenly Father's children Come unto Christ.  The weather here in Arizona is still pretty cold in the mornings but during the day it is still nice and warm.  This week is transfer week being only a 5 week transfer with the change of the MTC cutting everyone's MTC time by 1/3 so English Missionaries will be there for only 2 weeks.  I am not getting transferred because I am training Elder Wilson for another transfer as part of the 12 week infield training program.  This transfer there is going to be 26 new missionaries with only 4 finishing their mission so our mission will be at over 200 missionaries in the Arizona Phoenix Mission (APM), so they will be splitting areas so we might be covering only 1 ward, not sure yet.  Well, it was great to hear that there will be 58 new missions opening this July with 2 new missions here in Arizona with the Scottsdale and Gilbert Missions.  Our mission will be getting smaller with the increase of missionaries coming out with the age change.  We are excited and anxious to hear how they are going to transition the 2 new missions.  Well, I had a great week hear in Buckeye - Sharing the Gospel.  We had a great lesson with Destiny, a part member wife on the Plan of Salvation and we committed her to be Baptized on March 9 and told her to pray if she should be baptized.  We stopped by to visit them yesterday and see if she received an answer and she said she did.  We were so excited for her and she feels this is what God wants her to do is to be baptized and make that covenant with God.  We also had a great lesson with Megan on the Atonement and the Sabbath day.  She has a concern about coming to church because people will judge her for being a single mother and she does not have nice clothes to wear.  We beared testimony that God will bless her for keeping the Sabbath day and she will feel the Spirit as she comes to church.  She did not come to church so we are going to get more fellowship from the Relief Society at lessons to help her feel more comfortable about coming to church.  We had a tough day on Saturday visiting our investigators in Palo Verde area we stopped by Loly and she said she is moving to Kentucky this week.  Carolyn smoked as we stopped by to visit her whenever she gets stressed out she smokes and cannot give it up because she has been smoking for over 30 years, then we stopped by to visit Marshall to see how he is doing and offer to help him but he does not want to meet with us anymore.  It was hard but we cannot get discouraged as long as we are doing everything we can to help them strengthen their Faith in Christ to help them through their lives and God will continue to help them when they are ready to receive his Gospel and realize how it will bless their lives and help them prepare to return to God's kingdom.  Well that was my week in the mission field.  Hope everyone is doing great.  I love and miss you all.  I know that the church is true and Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer.  Take care and have a great week.

Love,
Elder Lance Kuhi Cabral

*CONGRATULATIONS WILLIAM JACKSON on your BAPTISM & MALU & TYLER on your ENGAGEMENT*

Dear family and friends,

How are you guys doing?  I am doing great here in Buckeye doing the Lord's work.  I had a great week teaching our investigators, Sharing the Gospel, wonderful Zone Conference, and a spiritual Baptism for William.  The weather is really nice still a bit chilly in the morning but during the days it is nice and warm.  William Jackson got baptized on Sunday it was great to see him follow Christ and make that covenant with Christ.  There was a strong spirit as he was baptized by his grandfather, great support from his family that witnessed his Baptism.  Hopefully his families that are non-members felt the spirit and want to learn more including his father.  We had a great Zone Conference on Wednesday studying Jacob 5, learning about using visuals in our lessons and preparing our members to help us teach the Gospel.  We had a great lesson with Scott McBryon on the Plan of Salvation and invited him to be baptized on March 16 and he accepted.  We also had a wonderful lesson with Destiny on the Plan of Salvation, the spirit was so great as we taught and testified about the Atonement.  We invited her to be baptized but she wants to learn more before she commits.  We also had a great lesson with the Washington Family on the Book of Mormon.  They have some concerns about Joseph Smith being a prophet so we are answering their questions and helping them gain a testimony on the Book of Mormon because everything lies upon it.  The Book of Mormon is the keystone of our religion and they can know the Gospel has been restored in these latter days by reading the Book of Mormon and praying to God to answer their prayers through the Holy Ghost.  Well that was my week here in the mission field.  A focus for us is setting dates for our investigators to be Baptized and finding those that the Lord is preparing to hear his Gospel and follow him through Baptism and receiving the Holy Ghost to guide them in their lives back to our Heavenly Father's presence.  I love and miss you all.  You're always in my prayers that God will bless you and keep you all safe.  I love being a servant of Christ, sharing his Gospel and helping others have the joy that comes from the Gospel.  Families can be together for Eternity.  I know the church is true and God lives and Jesus Christ is our Savior and redeemer and through him we can be happy forever.  Congratulations to Malu and Tyler!  I am so happy for you guys.  Take care and have a great week. 

Love,

*CONGRATULATIONS TO APRIL HARRIS & MAY YOU and ALL OF US CONTINUE TO CTR-Choose The Right*

Dear Family and Friends,

How are you guys doing?  Well, I am doing great here in Buckeye - sharing the Gospel and doing the Lord's work.  The weather has been a little cold this week but still pretty nice.  Well, I had a great week teaching the Gospel to our  investigator's and helping them Come unto Christ through Baptism and being confirmed the Holy Ghost.  We had a wonderful Baptism for April Harris on Saturday.  There was a strong spirit as her father baptized her and made her first covenant with God to enter that gate back to our Heavenly Father.  There was a great turnout of family and friends from the ward that came to support her and witness her make Promise with God.  She was so happy as she received the Holy Ghost to help her stay on the straight path and guide her to Choose the Right and keep her safe.  We had a great lesson with Destiny this week on the Restoration of the Gospel and she loves coming to church and how friendly everyone is.  We also had a great lesson with Marsha a new investigator, we were planning to teach her the Plan of Salvation but we ended up teaching her about prophets and how the Book of Mormon is so important in the Restoration of the Gospel and how we can know Joseph Smith was a true prophet that was called by God by reading and praying about the Book of Mormon.  As we prepare in our studies, we have the Spirit to be with us even though we teach something we did not plan for the Spirit is with us as we teach to the investigators needs.  We also had a spiritually wonderful lesson with William on the Plan of Salvation and going over his Baptism interview questions.  His mom who has been less active for many years bore a powerful testimony on keeping the Word of Wisdom even though she struggle to give up smoking and coffee.  It was a wonderful lesson as we testified to her that Jesus Christ can give her the strength to overcome those addictions and she will be blessed and free from it as she has Faith in Jesus Christ and through his Atonement he knows the struggles we go through and wants to help us.  I am so honored to be a servant of Jesus Christ to preach his Gospel and have the spirit to teach our Heavenly Father's children the truthfulness of the gospel.  The spirit is what converts people to Christ, we are just instruments in the Lord's hands.  We had a great Sabbath Day with 2 Ward Conferences for both Estrella Hills and Palo Verde ward.  Great talks by the youths, Bishop, and Stake President of the Stake Annual Theme "Living your Life to be Worthy to have the Holy Ghost and Following those Promptings".  Well that was my great week.  I love and miss you all  so much.  You are always in my prayers.  Take care and have a fantastic week. 

Love for Eternity,

*PALO VERDE is the PLACE to be in ARIZONA to hear the GOSPEL*

Dear Family and Friends,

How are you all doing?  I am doing great here in Buckeye - Sharing the Gospel and helping others receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  The weather has been really nice here in the 60-70s - during the day so it is nice and warm and I am enjoying it while it lasts.  The work is going great we had a great week teaching our investigators the Gospel.  We had great lessons with April Harris, 9 year old on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Commandments to prepare her to be Baptized this Saturday and receive the Holy Ghost.  She had her interview yesterday and passed.  She was so happy.  We also had a great lesson with Megan on the Plan of Salvation and she is doing great but has some concerns about coming to Church so we are going to have to do more fellowship from the Relief Society to help her make friends and feel comfortable coming to Church.  We also had a great lesson with William on the Plan of Salvation and he came to church with his mom and sister and it was so great to see them because the mom has been less active for a while.  Elder Wilson met with Scott on Wednesday, we were on splits and taught him the Restoration and he said it went well.  He is doing great starting to feel more comfortable teaching especially lesson 1 the Restoration because we have been studying and role playing it in our companionship study as part of the 12 week training.  We got a new investigator this week Destiny her husband Jason is a member and she wants to learn about the Gospel so we are going to teach her on Thursday.  I am starting to get to know Palo Verde it is huge but we got a GPS to help us find places.  Well that was my week here in the mission field.  We got a new dinner policy that we can eat with active members so we will be having more dinners now to help them do missionary work and get to know them and gain their trust. We had a great Sabbath day with 7 investigators that came to church. I love and miss you all. Have a great week my prayers are with you all. 

Love,
