Week 18

what a week haha really though it was a good week it first started off on Tuesday we met our new mission president and his wife wow what great people i really like him and his wife they both talked to us and presidente Mecham when he talked to us i really thought he was like my football coach or something he gave us a pretty good pep talk that lit a fire under mis nachas ahah hes a really good guy and then when his wife spoke haha she just made me laugh she really reminds me of my mom and it made me feel good because her espanol was worse then mine haha and then on Sunday we had 7 investigators in church we have this family that were teaching these 2 girls that are members vianney and her sister geraldine and then there parents and there younger brother aren't members all 3 of them have a baptismal date and they have been coming to church but this week in church it was fast Sunday and geraldine who is 16 got up and bore her testimony she is so awesome she made me cry haha it was embarrassing she said in her testimony she said I'm so grateful for the missionaries and I'm so grateful that one day me and my family will be able to enter into the temple and the tears just started coming it really made me realize how important this work is and even more important is the example this girl was for her family i know that they felt the spirit the next thing is we had changes last night haha me and Elder Best are really gonna love each other neither of us got changed so were together for another 6 weeks ;) at first i was kind of mad haha not really but i just really wanted to get a Mexican companion this change so my Spanish could be better but its okay I'm super happy because me and Elder Best have like 7 people that were are going to baptize this next change that we have been teaching forever sorry it took so long for me to write today its because today we played volley ball as a zone wooooooooohhhhhh it was so freaking awesome are old Presidente didn't let us play basketball volleyball soccer or anything but today we were passing the football around we played volleyball for like 2 hours it was super nice!!!

right now in this part of my mission i am so grateful for the spirit i know that it is the only reason why i can even talk when I'm in the lessons i say words that i didn't even know they seriously just come to my head and i know that its only through obedience that i am privileged with this this next change me and Elder Best are gonna work harder then we have ever worked on our missions because that's the key!!

 i love you all and i hope you all are striving everyday to be a better person through diligent scripture study and humble prayer!

i have been thinking alot about the cousins lately alot about Isaac and Kimball you guys better be putting your mission papers in soon that goes for you to Anna its the best decision that you can do in your life right now i know its not easy but its never gonna be missions aren't easy but a mission will bless your life more then you can ever know when your at home i learn something every day here and i overcome challenges everyday even though there just little compared to others I'm grateful for them and for what they teach me

Week 17 pics

Week 17 Area 1

this week was a good week it was kind of a hard week but its good cause we worked hard we taught the most lessons we have taught since i have been here this week i have been focusing alot on trying to become closer to my heavenly father and to be a better man a lot of people don't understand what a missions like i didn't I'm still figuring it out for me the hardest part is just always wanting to be better but not knowing how to do it sometimes i have been blessed my whole life too have the will power to want too do better but its harder on the mission when i was at home i had the help of my parents to guide me what way to go to tell me i need to go to church or mutual or i need to wake up for school and when i played football i always had a coach to tell me exactly what work outs to do what to study for the football game but on the mission its just you and your heavenly father your coach is your heavenly father hes the only person that can guide you and shape you into the man you want to be but hes not going to wake you up in the mornings or tell you what to study you have to make those decisions you have to be self competent i love being on a mission for this reason i always know what i need to do to be a better person so when the time comes that i need to bare my testimony to someone the spirit can touch there heart 

we have alot of investigators that are hopefully going to get baptized next month but I'm kind of sad because we have changes next week and me and Elder Best both think that hes going to leave this area so I'm sad he wont get to baptize them with me because we have worked really hard with these investigators presidente mecham y herman mecham arrived today so that's pretty cool I'm excited to get a new mission president we will probably have a zone conference not this week but the next week to meet them and stuff 

everything is good in Mexico i hope everyone is doing good at home and is always keeping a prayer in their hearts and a smile on their faces ;) everyone go to the temple this week i miss going to the temple so bad but the temple here opens in September so hopefully i will get to go to the re dedication

 le amo todos mucho

write me emails :)
