So this coming week Antonia, Daniela, and Sarai should all be baptized. Please pray for them so that everything goes good!

We switched houses with the sisters of our district today...and we definitely moved up:) We are no longer in an apartment, now in a house with like a quarter acre of land:) 2 peach trees and a ton of space to run, jump and play:)

 Hey again!

So I have been thinking a lot lately of what it means to be diligent. Preach My Gospel says that it is a constant effort carry out the lord´s work. Working when you're tired. Keeping all of your thoughts and actions focused on the Lord. If I have learned anything in the mission its that: diligence. I have learned that the word diligence, doesn't just mean to dedicate your time, but also all of your energy of heart and mind. I love the scripture in Doctrine & covenants 107:99-100. It teaches us an eternal principal. Do your work, and do it good. Sometimes in this life we forget that we should always be progressing, every moment of every day. Never should we become conformists, rather progressionalists. I know that sometimes I get down, but then I always remember the Lords council to Joseph Smith in Doctrine and Covenants 122. Remember that we never have an excuse to get down on ourselves and not progresar! We have an Eternal Crown at stake! So do your work, and do it good!

Love you all!

 Hey buds!

Well we just finished an excellent week and I am just loving Mexico! I am never ever going to leave!

I especially love the family Dominguez, which are the ones that are preparing for the 30th to be baptized! They are all so incredible! Every time I teach them my heart swells with love and receive the fulness of joy! However please pray for them! Their names are Antonia Daniela and Sarahi!

Me and Elder Cruz are doing awesome:) Chambeando bie duro cada dia:) Working hard every day:) 

I absolutely love my area and hope that I never leave! I love being out here and I feel just at home:) The mission is truly the best place on earth! There is nothing more that I would rather be doing than working our here to bring the Mexican people to Christ!

This week I am going to be working really hard to spread this message even farther, and be bold about it. I invite you all to do the same. I don´t remember where it says it in D and C, but it says that once you receive this Joy it is your responsibility to share it with your neighbor. Well everybody's your neighbor., so make em happy! They are not happy right now! And only YOU can make em be happy! We have all been called in this great and grand work, to be a disciple of Christ! Do you love Him? If you do then you should be feeding His sheep, because that's what He asked us to do! So go out and feed them!

I love you all and hope that you love Christ enough to help him with this great work!

 Hey kids!

Well we just finished another solid week!

The best thing that happened this week is that i learned a ton from my studies and my companion this week! I love studying the scriptures and asking questions about the Plan of Salvation. my companion taught me that the best way to study is to ask a question, not a what question, but a why question. and then to search diligently until you find it. Your mind and understanding will be opened, you will learn more about our Eternal Father, and your faith and knowledge will grow!

prayer list: Antonia, Daniela, Sarai, Lupita, Nadia, Maurilio, Rosa, Gloria.

oh my time just ran out but I'm hoping to get back in the end of the day!

love you all!

 Hey kids!

So we just had another amazing week here in good ole Tezontepec:) We found A TON of new people to teach and are super excited:)

So I need you all to pray for Lupita and Hombre Santo. Lupita might just enter into the waters of baptism this weekend and she's going to need a lot of help to make sure everything goes well. Santo needs to stop drinking. Every prayer will help a ton!!!

For Zack: I found Gansito ice cream. its absolutely amazing

So we taught somebody this week, Rosa. Rosa is a teen daughter of Maurilio, other investigator. Rosa is not sure about the existence of God. A few days ago we had her pray, maybe the first prayer she has ever prayed in her life. It was one of those ammon and lamoni moments. I have never heard such a sincere prayer in my life. It didn't have any flowers, no big words, just complete and absolute purity. Just asking one thing: do You exist? It was such a beautiful thing. I have forgotten how powerful prayer can be when we do it with complete faith, talking as if we were talking to a friend. Not, as I believe President Hinkley said, ordering the groceries and then hanging up the phone. I invite all of you to think about your relationship is with God. What can you do to strengthen it? And then do it.

Well I am doing just awesome:) I love my area. I love my companion. And I love God. Life is good:)

Love you all!!
