Hey boys and girls!

Well this week we had the great opportunity to see the completion of a wonderful family! Horacio was baptized this week and joined his wife and 2 daughters in grand fold of the Lord!

Prayer list: Gustavo, Aurora, the town of San Pedro (that the Spirit will be poured out upon it), Antonio, Juana

This week I had the great pleasure to buy 500 METERS of toilet paper. I do not think I need to explain any more about that.

We visited San Pedro this week and we have a mass investigator lesson planned this week. We are, how you say, very excited:)

Well the good ole water pump has broken...what does that mean? Well basically that every time we go to the bathroom or take a shower we get to use buckets of water:)

I hope that all of you guys are super excited for the conference this weekend, because I sure am! One thing that I did in the last conference was to write down specific questions that I had, and then wait for the answers during the conference. It was very special to see those questions answered. I invite all of you to do the same this weekend!

Love you all!

 Hey fam!

Well this week was pretty awesome:) We saw some huge advancements in the work here in Tezontepec:) 

First of all we received permission to work in some towns outside of our area that have maybe never seen a missionary in their existence.

Second about 1 or 2 months ago we sent in a request to make a group or branch in my area. Yesterday the Stake Presidency came and told one of our members that very soon we will see that group, which means that in the place of having to travel anywhere from 15 or 20 minutes to 40, our investigators and members will travel less than 15. 

Also Horacio, husband of Antonia, is going to be baptized this weekend! Please pray for him (and also his cousin and his wife, Gustavo and Aurora, who will be baptized the 11th of October), so that everything goes well!

This morning I enjoyed a nice rabbit leg for breakfast.

Well I love you all!

 Hey guys and gals!

So this week was awesome:) We found some absolutely amazing people and we are really excited to teach them:) But first of all, I need to vent.

I would like to tell you all about what usually happens when we contact. I will say something similar to, We have a very important message: I testify to you that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. I know that He lives, and that He wants us to be happy. We would like to teach you how you can receive an everlasting joy, and be received into the presence of God eternally with your family. We would like to share about 15 minutes of this message with you, would that be alright? They then will usually say, I do not have very much time right, it would be better another day. Oh so when can come by again? Well it is just that I work every day, and I really never have any time at all. So then we will ask them, so you don´t want to receive an everlasting joy? And they will tell us, yeah I just do not have enough time for all of that, but you two young kids are very nice! As we walk away I always think, I do not care how friendly I am, I just want to save you, give you the opportunity to be exalted on high, to live eternally! Why don´t you want that? What is the problem with living for ever and ever with God? Wouldn´t you be willing to do anything to obtain these blessings? Sadly the answer is no. This person is not willing to de everything required to receive these great blessings. We are so blessed to already have this Gospel in our lives. Just to know that it is possible to live with God again is hard to believe for me, but I will do anything and everything in my power to do so. We need to realize the great potential we all have, and then reach it!

Prayer list: HORACIO...he needs a ton of help! He should be baptized in 2 weeks but he needs a lot of encouragement and he needs to have an unbreakable testimony!

Gustavo and Aurora...that they keep on being super excited!

Felipa...that we can find her!

 Elder Pass´s Gym for Muscles is going along very well.

I love you all!

 Hey ya kids!

Well this last week we had changes, I stayed and elder cruz went away, I received elder Rodriguez. He is from Torrion, its a part of Mexico in the North.

I've started to build a little gym for muscles out in the garage of our property. As of right now I have an ab roller, pull up bar, push up blocks, big cement blocks to do curls, and like a quarter  acre of weeds to pull:)

prayer list: Horacio, Lupita, Oriana

So just to let you guys all know the baptism from last week went great:) Now antonia, Daniela, and Sarahi have all taken a great step to their eternal glory:) This month we are really hoping that everything goes well with Horacio and that he can be baptized and join his family so that in one year they be sealed for all time and eternity:)

The hardest thing this week was seeing my companion go. it was quite a change because we just rocked it with elder cruz and we had a tougher week this week without him.

the best think that happened this week was being bold. I don't why, but the Spirit just fills the room when you testify that the Church of Jesus Christ has been restored and that all other churches were either stared by men, or the devil ( see i Nephi 13). It is definitely one of my favorite things to declare. and I truly know it:) I am completely sure that almost 2 centuries ago a young boy was made a prophet, and that God spoke to us once again. I know that His church was restored and no we have the authority of the Holy Priesthood. Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and we all are or should be His disciples. We need to all be willing to die for Him, literally sacrifice anything, and give ourselves to this Great Work. We all knew that we would help out with it, that is why we are members of his great Church. W e need to give it all, the Celestial Kingdom is a kingdom of work, and a kingdom of leadership. If we do not learn that here, how can we be prepared for ´´the next state´´? 

I love you all so much!
