Hola
Well I am excited that Thomas is getting ready to enter the MTC, he is going to love it!!! It is so crazy how fast the time flies on the mossion though! Well me and my companion had a privilege to baptize a lady named Rita and her daughter Regina. This family is what we called una familia de oro puro or a golden family. After Rita had her interview I talked to her and asked her if she was ready, she turned to me and said. Elder I am more than ready. Well we baptized her this past Sunday and as she enter the water she started to cry. Well after my companion came out of the water she started to cry really hard and the spirit was so strong! Every day I gain a stronger testimony that this church is the only true church upon this world!!!! Well that was my week. How is everything going for you guys. Good I hope. I heard that it is starting to get pretty hot down there. Well we are gonna have transfers the 16 of June so we'll see what happens. Well I better take off but please know that I am here for you for whatever you need.
con mucho amor

Well howdy everyone. How is it going. Just dandy I hope. Well this week was a pretty good week for me and my companion. We baptized 3 people and the servicio was really amazing. I played an arrangement that I made up of Be Still My Soul, I am a child of God, and I know that my redeemer lives. My companion said that it was really good. I hope it was. Well today I recieved your package. Thank you so much for everything. All the mexcians are so happy when we receive stuff from the U.S. They all love to try out the candy and food from over there. Thank you so much for everything. Oh I received my bank card but do you know how I can activate it? Well how is the family doing. I hope good. Do you know if anybody has been working on my sandrail? Oh well to answer your question about Kayla. I am really happy for her. I know Brett Farr and he is a great guy. They should make each other very happy! And no I am not sad at all. The point of this life is to serve God, marry a girl or guy that you know that you can share eternity with, and raise a family in Zion. I wish this for her. I know that my time right now is for the Lord and well there are many duaghters of God here in this world :) I guess I just have to figure out how to convince one to marry me. But I figure I can worry bout that in 14 months. Shoot can you believe I have 10 months in the mission. Man time flys. Well I love you all and please let me know if I can do something for ya

Hey momma,
Well it is always good to hear from you!!!! Sounds like everything is going good over there in Az. I can't believe that it is already a 105 degrees over there. I guess AZ is still the same right :) Well here in Pachuca the weather in pretty nice. Actually I had to put on a sweater today because it got kinda cold. Pretty cool huh :) Well this week was a pretty exciting week for us. We baptized a lady named Mariah. I had the great privilege of doing it, I also had the privilege to baptize a lady that the Sisters have being teaching. I interviewed her and then after the interview she asked me if I could baptize her. It was really great. I also had the opportunity to play the violin in both baptisms :) Well that's about all for my week. How has everything been going over there. I fell really bad about Devin and his dad. Make sure to tell Brooke sorry for me to him. I am happy that he has received his mission call though. Lets just pray that he will receive the blessings and strength he needs to go forth! Well I love every one of you so much and I hope everything is going just dandy for ya. Please let me know if you need anything.
LOVE YOU!!!

Haha, ok I am going to try to answer all of your questions if I can remember them ;) First thing is I don't have transfers, actually no missionaries here in Mexico have transfers because the Presidencia de Area decided to wait a week. The missionaries that ended their missions can't go back to there houses and the missionaries in the MTC can't come out into the field because of this Swine flu. Everybody here in Mexico is pretty worrried about it but I know if we are obedient that the Lord will protect us.
Well as for the music, I would really love it if you could send me I know that my Redeemer Lives and How Great Thou Art. I figure for the rest I can just use the Hymn Book. I am really excited to start playing again!!!!
Oh, Mothers day is coming up huh. Man, I can't believe that it is time to talk to the Family again. Time flys so fast!!!! I don't know what number yet but when I do I will let you know. I am really excited to talk to everyone. Oh I asked the Z.L. if I could use Webcam but they told me no. I would be nice if we could use it though, right? Do you know if all the family is coming down or is it just going to be you, dad and Jared?
Well as for the microwave, hahaha me and my comp don't even have hot water ;) but its ok because our bishop lives in front of us and he has one. If you would like to send that stuff adelante ;) go ahead Thank you
Well I guess that is about all your questions right? Oh about that credit card, I asked the secratarios and they told me that we can't deposit into that card but I asked my bishop and he said, if it is ok with you, that you could trasfer the money to his account and then he could pull it out and give it to me. I just want to know what you think.
Well I better get going but I love you all soo much. Always remember that we have the true gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives! We have the responsibility to share the gospel with EVERYONE!!! Just recently I watched the biography of Thomas S. Monson, if you haven't seen it I would recommend it for a FHE. When he was called as an apostle he said that ¨the life I have right now isn't mine, it is the Lords. I dedicate this life to the Lord and his work.¨ this is what every single one of us need to do. DEDICATE our lives to the Lord. I know that Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten of the Father and that He LIVES!!! Thomas S. Monson is a prophet called of God. The Book of Mormon is a book that is true and perfect and if we follow the counsels of it and of our prophets we can have the opportunity to receive Eternal Life. I love this gospel, I love the scriptures, and I love you!!!!!Please let me know if I can do anything for ya!!

Swine Flu letter
Dear Parents of our beloved missionaries,
With regards to the recent events of the swine flu outbreak in Mexico City, I am writing to let you know that I have been working closely with our Area Medical Advisor, Elder Roger Brunt M.D., to ensure the physical safety of each our missionaries. I have informed our missionaries to strictly follow all of the guidelines that the Mexican Government is asking its citizens to do, which are:
I am confident that if the missionaries will be obedient to these guidelines they can continue to participate in their normal missionary activities. Your prayers, faith and sacred support are deeply appreciated. There is no doubt that our missionaries are on the Lord’s errand and will continue to enjoy the blessings and protection of Him whose work this is.
Warmest regards,
President Russell G. Bulloch

I have informed our missionaries to strictly follow all of the guidelines that the Mexican Government is asking its citizens to do, which are:

- Avoid touching your mouth, nose and eyes with your hands.
- Do not greet someone directly with a handshake or a kiss.
- Avoid places where there is close contact with large groups of people, like the subway and busses.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a disposable tissue when you cough or sneeze.
- Eat fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins A and C (carrots, papaya, guayaba, oranges, mandarin oranges, limes, lemons, pineapple, etc.)
- If flu like symptoms are detected, seek medical help immediately.
I am confident that if the missionaries will be obedient to these guidelines they can continue to participate in their normal missionary activities. Your prayers, faith and sacred support are deeply appreciated. There is no doubt that our missionaries are on the Lord’s errand and will continue to enjoy the blessings and protection of Him whose work this is.
