 Hey fam!

Well this week was a great week! We had changes today but me and my companion are staying here in Tecamac!!:)

So Genaro is awesome, but he is doubting a little bit if he is really ready to be baptized. Please pray for him so that he can feel ready!

Well our other investigator that is progressing a ton is also a Christian named Kari. We found her in the street, and she turned out to be amazing. In the 2nd lesson she actually asked us how she could pay her tithing at our church. Yeah, I know, golden. What she needs is consistency, a lot of times people like her start out really good but that fire goes down fastly. She is going to need your help so that that fire gets fed.

We are having quite a few problems with Ana and Saul. Saul is really doubting everything, as in he does not even really have a strong desire to know. Ana was not, but her husband Saul is making her no so sure. But wait, it gets better...this weekend Saul brought their pastor over to try to talk Ana out of being baptized. That was a sucker punch to the gut if I ever felt one. Anyways Saul at this point really is not to interested, and Ana is not sure what she needs. She really needs the spirit of discernment. She is reading a ton in the Book of Mormon and has been to church 4 times already. She has a baptismal date for this Friday and is definitely prepared, she just needs a little bit of faith so that she can get through all this, and well we just need a miracle for Saul. They need your help more that ever! I love them so much. I was almost crying in the last lesson because of all the stuff that is happening with them, please help them! They really mean the world to me and I do not want to lose such great people! They deserve the Celestial Kingdom, they just need that last little bit of faith!

I love you all and hope that you have a great week!!:)

Hello!

Well first of all I feel like I need to apologize for not sending a group email the last 2 weeks. last week was because I forgot to send it out, but I had it all written up and then we left really quick so it never got sent:) Sorry guys:)

So the Badillo family is progressing fairly well! They went to church again, but they still have quite a few doubts. The good thing is that they are fulfilling their commitments, they just don´t seem to be getting a super solid answer. I have come to the conclusion that what they need is a greater desire to know and understand. Please pray for them to have that desire!

So our other investigator that is progressing quite nicely is Genaro. He is a 16 year old and is just amazing. He got to know the church when he started going to a church owned high school here in Mexico. He is super excited to be baptized on the 29th of this month and really what we need is permission from his mom. Please pray for that for him!

Me and my companion are getting along very well and I feel like I am learning a ton right now:) 

New favorite scripture: Doctrine and Covenants 65:6. Read it. Love it. Apply it to every moment of your life.

I love you all so much! Please tell me your missionary stories! And if you just said, "well I don´t have any," then get some and help God build build His kingdom here on Earth!

I love you all!!:)
