Happy New Year!

Hey everyone!

Hope everyone had a happy new year! Things were pretty interesting here, there were a lot of fireworks, confetti and music in all parts.

We had a pretty great week as well, I got to go to the other side of the mission for exchanges with one of the presidents assistents. Every transfer we haev exchanges with one of them. I learned alot from our day, I learned alot about the personal responsibility that we have in our areas, everything that we do depends on our diligence in finding and teaching. I loved the exchanges that we had with Elder Tovar and Elder Romero this last week because it helped us see the things we need to change in ourselfs for better success. Elder Romero and I had a very succesful day where we were able to teach several new investigators and my personal testimony was strengthed as we taught about eternal life. One of the things we are going to improve is our relacionship with the ward and teaching in the moment. We are very excited in our zone as well to acheive the goal of 1 baptism for month. This week we have the goal of using our time wisely in the day. My companion was reading in preach my gospel in the morning relating to missionary work like fishing. The longer we have our hooks in the water, the more likely we are to find new people to teach. We should use every moment we have during the day to teach and testify of christ.

Keep up the good work with the book of mormon! I started it again and i´m in 2 nephi 7. I´m also reading Jesus the Christ, an excelent study tool for the New Testament! We were also going to go to the temple, but our trip got canceled at the last minute and we won´t be going for another month.😥 

See ya later!

The Blessings of the Priestood!

Hey everyone!

It's great to hear that there's a lot of snow! Its gotten pretty cold down here for the past week as well but it's starting to heat back up again. 

Rodolfo was ordained a Priest yesterday! we're all pretty excited for him now that hes returning back to the church. Since he's been going he hasn't missed a sacrament meeting yet. Yesterday he stayed all three hours and it looks like he's ready for more! His study has also improved a lot, he always recites the stories he reads from the book of Mormon.

We`ve got a lot coming up this week as well with a few conferences we will be having. on the 26th the church will be doing another broadcast for all the missionaries in the work again like last year. It should help us out a lot this year. 

Hope everything is going well back at home, tell everyone i said hi!

A Possiable Baptism!

Hey everyone!

Hope everyone is enjoying the cold weather, things have cooled down a lot here as well in these past few days. 

We had a pretty exciting week! On Friday we had a lesson that changed everything with an Investigator we have named Juan Jose. His wife is a member ans we have been teaching him for about 2 or 3 months now. The only thing that is keeping him from getting baptized is getting married and living the word of wisdom. On Friday in the visit we had with them we taught the word of wisdom like any other visit. For a minute everything got quiet and Juan Jose said that he had been preying and that he finally felt the need to be baptized! He basically bore his testimony to us and asked us what he needed to do to be baptized. His wife cried for a little bit but it was a very powerful lesson. They have seen all types of trials, it´s safe to say that they have about seen everything. They are going through financial problems but we are going to do everything in our power to get them married possibly this week. Super cool!

We also had leadership counsel. With President Maoucotel we are changing the mission a lot. It was great to learn from him and his wife. We´re working a lot on Diligence and Obedience right now in our mission.

That's about everything for this week. we hope we can get moving with Juan Jose, he has a great conversion. They are going to make a great family!

See you all next week!

Dust Storm!

Hey everyone!

Things are doing great! We had a pretty crazy dust storm this last weekend but everything has calmed down and is back to normal. 

Juan Jose has gone through just about everything this past month but is now working full time again! He went to church on Sunday with his family and is participating really well. They only need to print out one of their birth certificates and put a date for their wedding. We are going to visit them later today to see if they were able to put a date down and everything. 

Transfers are next week to we hope we can get everything settled in this coming with with Juan.

Lots of great things going on in our zone as well, wish I had more time. Love you all see you next week!

Zone Conference!

Hey Everyone!

Summer looks like it started really well! Hope everyone is healthy and happy.

This last week we had our annual Zone Conference. To prepare ourselves we were asked to study "Repentance" in Preach My Gospel and "Let This Settle in Your Heart", I`ll see if I can find it and send it to your guy. In the words of President Bird, "Repentance is one of the greatest opportunities that we have to be taught by the Savior". Repentance is a change, and helps us grow and learn. Sincere repentance comes from the heart.

President Bird also gave us his final testimony, in ten days we will get to meet our new President and his wife!

We found a new Investigator who is really excitd to be baptized. We found Alonzo in our area book from some past missionaries who visited him one time. When I first saw his address, I was pretty sure it didn`t exist, it was on the largest street in the area with a number that we thought didn`t even exist. We started at the beginning of the street and followed it until the end. One of the final houses without a number turned out to be Alonzo`s house. We explained a little about "The Plan of Salvation" and "Baptism," because his wife passed away. Alonzo is 69 years old with alot of great beleifs. 

We also have electricity in our house again! We only had electricity in half of our house for two weeks, someone robbed a fuse from our fuse box.

Everything is moving along smoothely, we have food, water and a roof over our head! Spanish is coming along great! See you all next week!

Hat Shopping!

Hey Family,

Hope summer is going great, and that everyone is having a good time with all the activities coming up. The temperature keeps climbing here every day. The church noticed how hot it gets here so they gave us permission to wear hats and sunglasses! That means i`m going to find the biggest sombrero I can find! 

This week we will be having our last Zone Conference with President and Sister Bird, they`ve asked us to study "Repentance,"  in Preach My Gospel and come prepared with a spiritual experience. 

We were surprised this last Sunday, when a less active member that found us. He came to church with us. Ferrando is 52 years old and we were actually teaching his sister in my last area. Ferrando was baptized 12 years ago but he has had a lot of heath problems that keep him from leaving the house. We`ll see how it was for him to go back to church, tomorrow when we visit him!

I`m also playing the piano in church! Sometimes on P days I have time to practice a hymn. I've also started reading The Book of Mormon in spanish for our language study! If I stay on track I`ll be able to finish by the end of summer! Join me if you want!

Everything is going great! See you all next week!
