hello my amazing family,
Well this week was good we are teaching a family(fam.huerta cruz) and they are awesome. They are programmed to get baptized in 2 weeks. They are way cool and since they have started coming to church and taking the lessons i have seen a huge change in them, especially the dad. They actually picked the date which hardly ever happens. If you can please pray for them. Yeah but my comp got me a little scared, he started feeling pretty bad about tuesday. And so i was just praying that it wasnt the swine flu. Turns out that it wasnt and now he is pretty much back to normal. But anyways today i ate some of the best carnitas in the world. They are pig tacos. Next time ill get a picture for you guys. MMMMMMmmm they are sooo good. So unhealthy but sooo good. I wish you could try them. O yeah and i ordered a warm up suit today, for sports, its like the basketball warm ups. But yeah they only cost 200 pesos When something like that in the states would cost like $150. An investigator makes them for a living. I buy a lot of stuff huh? Well i want to have some stuff to remember mexico and the people i got to know. Yeah im just really enjoying this stake. Its like my home in mexico cause i have been here basically my whole mission. And every sunday i get to see the people that i had the opportunity to teach and baptize, like a year ago. Its soooo awesome to see that they are still active and doing well. I really think its one of the greatest feelings i have felt in the mission. But yeah now im just rambling on and on. I just want you all to know how much i enjoy the letters and the support that you give me. Have an awesome week. Cuidense mucho.

¿Hola que tal? ¿Como les ha ido?
Hope you guys are doing fine. Sounds like a pretty eventful week. Thats crazy that jill is already in college huh? Well thats life i guess everybodies got to grow up. But yeah this week was cool we found a lot of cool people that i feel will get baptized soon. Actually today we taught one of the families lesson 2 which is the plan of salvation. Its cool to see how many things they learn and to be able to respond to their questions and doubts. We also had an activity again where we went to the visitors center. It was cool we watched the restoration. Not as many members went this time but there were a lot of investigators which is cool.Thanks for the prayers i can feel them working. Man its crazy only 6 more months from this thursday. Well this area i really like its just a friendly ward and the people are willing to listen. so its way cool it just doesnt seem like there is enough time to visit everybody. Its cool though its feels satisfying at the end of the day. Well i dont really have much to say, well like i ever do but anyways. Les quiero muchismo. Cuidense. Hasta luego.

Well things are good. A little crazy trying to coordinate with two wards but its alright. Just starting to get the hang of it. We assist the stake center where 4 wards assist. The same one i was in like 10 months ago. So i pretty much know half of the people there. So thats cool. Things are good. There are a lot of people that are ready to be baptized just need a little more support. If you could please pray for them so their hearts are softened and pray for us to know what to say to them so they can accept the gospel of Jesus Christ. o Yeah and we just got done shopping at a place called waldos. Everything is like a dollar. Its awesome. I bought some lindt chocolate for a dollar. I was like wow this stuff normally costs a ton. Anyways i also bought to handmade blankets. i think they are queen size. They are cool though and i got them both for 500 pesos. So i couldnt pass that up. Anyways have you guys gotten to feed the missionaries in a while. Cause you need to. And if you do treat them good. Alright. And if you have some references give them to the missionaries. Unlce alan maybe. haha well who knows if youve never asked them if they want to hear a message then they can never accept to hear one. Well love you guys a ton thank you so much for being an example to me and for raising me correctly. Even though i didnt always follow your counsels and i made mistakes. I now realize how important it is to have a family that teaches correct principles in the home I love you guys have a great week and good luck on the house.

That makes me soo happy that you guys are doing so well. I love good people that dont mind serving others. I dont know if thats how it is or i just dont see it often but here they dont hardly serve anybody else. They are kind of selfish i guess you could say. Well they help us in what ever we want but to others they just make excuses. Maybe im wrong but thats what ive seen the last 14 months. But anyways Well im in my new area now with my comp elder Alvarez. Yeah they told me rodriguez but its alvarez. He is way cool. We have two wards due to a lack of missionaries. The mtc down here was being remodeled so no missionaries could enter. But yeah we should have a ton of work. There a ton of people that are ready to get baptized but i dont know, i think they are scared or something. But yeah so if you could add in your prayers arturo, carlos, and claudia. But yeah it will be a little crazy for the next 6 weeks until the other missionaries come and take over the other ward. Hopefully we can get these two wards excited cause they are just kind of going through the motions. But things are way good down here. I love you guys a infinity times infinity. O and youll have to send some pics of the house. Inside and out. Have an awesome week. Les quiero mucho, cuidense.
