Super Great Week!

This week was way cool! We are going to have two bautismos this week and they are family so its way cool! They have been investigating the church for a while and they have been going to church for a while and now they feel ready! It’s so awesome! I’m excited to be able to be here and be part of it!

 When we went and did the servises over there we asked one of the two members to give a talk on the Holy Ghost and he accepted willingly and asked for help so I helped him find a scripture and his wife read it in his talk because he doesn’t read very well but it was way powerful. I testified that the day before he was listening to a hymn about baptism and he said that the spirit testified to him that he was doing the right thing helping his wife make it to baptism and the he felt it in his heart and that he felt a burning sensation in his chest. He said that when he was giving his talk he also felt it and he started crying and obviously I had rivers flowing from my eyes and it was super awesome. I know there will be a branch there one day and someday a ward. The members there are very happy and they preach the gospel even though we can’t in that area. So cool

Also we went to another place called Aranedas that is far from our area but part of our area also this week and it was cool. The members there love us! I felt like I was with family and they laughed at like everything that I said probably pity laughs but it was really fun and they said now every Saturday is going to be fun. And the lesson we had with them was insanely spiritual and then after not going to church for 4 years they went to church. Our lesson was really cool and I know that they felt it because they came to church! 

Well that’s all that happened this week but I love you all and hope that everything is going good!!!

Better Week!

This week was better than last week! Woo!!! This week we traveled a ton and it was awesome! We got to get so much work done it was crazy! We are going to have a couple of baptisms in the next couple of weeks! 

We went up and had church services in a place called Yahualica Jalisco! there were three people that came but that’s because my comps were only two for a while so they couldn’t divide and n0ow that I’m here we are starting it back up and tryi8ng to get to the point to where they can be self-sufficient and have a branch and then send missionaries there so that they can work there all the time but the problem is that there are a lot of drug dealers there and it’s not the safest place in the world but we’ve had a lot of success there so far and it will keep growing because there are a lot of people there that are interested so when we go we are there all day teaching. We leave at 830 in the morning and get back at 930-945 so it’s been really cool to be able to have this part in our area

 I’ll tell you what it’s been cold here. I don’t know if it’s because I turned into a wuss or it’s really cold here. I wake up and feel like an icicle and then I have to work out and do pushups and things and I’m all tired and freezing so that part kinda sucks I guess once in history it snowed here and everyone went crazy.  Really just want to be in the snow if I’m going to be cold and not have a jacket. I don’t bring one because I don’t like to carry it when it’s not cold and when it is cold I can deal with it but my comps are over here dying haha one of them is from a place nearby Cancun so he just wants to die because for him its super-duper cold haha its funny to listen to him talk about how cold it is. I just think of when we went skiing and it is sooo cold and there’s a blizzard and you don’t think your gonna keep your feet because there is for sure frost bite because there so cold you can’t feel them. And then I laugh at him.

I got to talk to a couple people in English in the street because they started to talk to me and one guy was drinking but then he said that he had lived in sandy and got deported and when I gave a card with the salt lake temple on it he started crying and said he wants to change and then he told me that I was his angel and that when he looks in my eyes that he feels peace and that all the music and things of the world just shut out. It was cool to hear someone tell me I was there angel haha I hope we can help him be better.

I love you all and gotta go!!! 

With a lot of love always accepting packages

Quick Week!

This week went by so fast!!

I had to go to Guadalajara AGAIN! This time we got everything done and I am now here legally! WOOHOO! 

Because of that trip I don’t have a lot of time to write today because we just got back haha 

Got to talk to Pres of the Mish today and he is so cool and loving and I found some things out about him that he was a super high up general in the US Air Force. And he has a lot of medals.

I am loving my time here in Tepatitlan! It’s a very large area and we are just looking for time to be able to do everything as missionaries and as a branch presidency ha. That’s probably why everything goes by so fast. If you have any suggestions that would be great. haha 

LOVE YOU ALL SOOOO MUCH!!!
