Howdy


Hey momma how is everything going for ya? I can imagine that you are pretty busy.So how is work going? Well all in all everything is going good over here. I am staying really busy and to tell you the truth I feel like I have never worked so hard in my life. This week has been a really special week for me. We had the opportunity to baptize a lady named Rosalva. She has been listening to the misionaries for over 25 years and this last Saturday we had the privledge to see her make the covenant of baptism. I love so much how this gospel changes the lives of those who are willing to find out for themselves that it is true. I think the hardest part of the gospel is keepin the commandments every single day. Satan is trying so hard to get us to fall and he won't take a day off. I am so privledged to be a missionary of Jesus Christ and I know that I need to contiune stong until the end!!
Well now changing the subject. How is James doing? Is his back feeling better? Is he able to shoe horses? I have been pretty worried for him. And you momma, how are you feeling? Do you feel like you have recovered your strength? if not make sure to keep is easy so that you can heal all the way. Well I talk to Elder Solomon last week and he told me that he only has 9 more weeks left. How crazy is that. Time is flying by so fast. Well I can't really think of anything else to say, I want you all to know that I love you so much and that I am giving my all still. I LOVE YOU

Hey momma how is everything going for ya? Well over here in Mexico everything is going great. Me and my companion are just trying to keep busy trying to spread the gospel. We have been finding a lot of families but they just don’t seem to want to progress. Sometimes it is really hard to find a great family and have them accept everything in the first lesson, to then have them fall and not want anything to do with the church. I know that Satan is trying so hard to destroy this marvelous work that means that we just need to work harder. We need to give everything to the Lord. I know sometimes it is hard to do, but when we do it he is willing to give us soooo many blessing! I really have seen so many miracles these last couple of weeks here in the mission!
So James threw out his back this last week. Man I bet that has got to hurt. I wish i was there to help him shoe all of his horses. What is he going to do? Just make sure that he gets a blessing and everything will turn out good. Man I was thinking today and when I get home I will not know 5 of my nephews and nieces. How crazy is that? It is going to be so awesome to get to know them. Well all in all everything is going good for me right now. Just trying to hit me goals running! Well I better get going for now but i love you all so much!! Let me know if I can do anything for ya

con mucho amor

Hey Momma,

Man you had me really scared about what was happenin with you and the hospital. Are you feeling better? Man you better take care of yourself momma! Well I guess I can get to the news. I am finally going to have changes this Tuesday. I am pretty excited for this change, I think it will help me get a boost. 7 months is a long time in an area! haha but to tell you the truth I am gonna miss this area. I have quite a few converts and alot of friends over here. I guess that changes are good though. It is kinda wierd thinkin that my next area should be my last one. Man that is really crazy.
Well this last week me and Elder Hilario had the opportunity to baptize a man called Fidel. He is way awesome. Me and my comp gave him a Book of Mormon about 2 months ago and he just finished readin it about 1 week ago and guess what he did when he finished it? He started readin it again. I have never known of one of my investigators to finish the BofM so fast and then after finishin it to start over. He will one day be a great leader in the church. Well, I really don't have much more to say. I love you all so much and please let me know if you need anything.

Hey Momma,

How has everything been going? Right now me and my companion have been havin some problems in our zone. It makes me really sad to see missionaries that aren't really here to serve the Lord. Believe it or not some missionaries just come out to make their mom and dad or maybe a girlfriend happy. You can really tell the difference between the missionaries that wanna work and the ones who are just waitin for there 2 years to be up. Oh well, I guess the only thing that I can do is give everything to the Lord!!! So how has everyone been doing over there in AZ. Is work keepin yall busy. Man, over here there sure is alot of work. The weather has been pretty crazy these last couple days though. Right now it is rainin pretty hard. I love it though. Well, right now me and my companion are teaching a family of 5 and they should be getting baptized next week. I am soo happy for them. This gospel truly is amazing how it can completely change the lives of the ones who want it. Well, I guess I have rambled on long enough. I would like to know how everything is going over there. I LOVE YOU ALL SOOOO MUCH!
