Week 35

Wow what a week it was for me they do celebrate Halloween here but they celebrate it for 3 days there still celebrating it its called dia de muertos and they believe that the spirits of our ancestors come and visit us the 1st of November so they all put food on there tables and candles and stuff and they all eat and they put photos of the people that they want to come and visit them on the tables and they believe that they come and eat with us so that was pretty crazy but besides that we carved pumpkins with the hermanas in our area because the 2 Mexicans have never carved pumpkins they don't do that here haha but it was kind of sucky because it was fast Sunday on Halloween so we didn't eat any candy haha but i did buy a big skeleton chocolate head so that's cool this week i know that our Savior loves us with out a doubt we have a new investigator he is 27 his name is Alberto and he has cancer we gave him a blessing on Halloween and taught him the restoration he expressed his feelings to us after the blessing and i know that we really have the priesthood here on this earth i know that every single one of us can be forgiven of our sins i love you all so much and i love this gospel i know that if we live worthy of the spirit that we can really be guided in our lives i know that all of us have difficulties in our life and questions i know that god answers our prayers we just need to ask him we have the key to the door to heaven and God never locks the door 

have a great week family and friends and remember that i love you 🎃🎃🎃👍💓󾓩👻💀💀
