Another great week here in Mexico.  Everyone in my ward here has found out that I don't like chicken feet and now they are all offering it to me which is awesome and somehow word got to our mission President and now he has been joking around with me too.  I told everyone here if they feed me a chicken foot I'm going to ask for a transfer ha ha its. awesome.  I love Latinos.

Today for P-day we went to Tlaxcala which is the closest biggest city with some members and ate tacos with them and explored it was super awesome to get to know them a little for and talk with them. 

We are in a slump right now and are really working hard to find new people to teach and find people that are ready to accept the gospel.  It is super frustrating and super super slow but its what we need to do to keep moving forward in the work.  Missions are not easy ha ha especially when you are training a new Elder and are looking for more people to progress its super challenging but I know we will be blessed for our hard work.

Hey Hey

This week was super crazy but good at the same time.  First off it was Independence day here I Mexico.

Saturday so there were a lot of fiestas and crazy drinking Mexicans but its okay ha ha that day we had to be in our house by 7:30 to avoid potential problems.

its fun being a trainer but at the same time its super stressful Ive leaned a lot this week about humility and about thinking about others and not myself and a lot about trusting in the Lord and his timing

There was elder visiting this area during the week and he was able to help us a little and we were able to spend a little bit of time with him and getting to know him ha ha hes awesome and we got a long really well.

last night we had a lesson with our mission President and two different zones.  We were asked if we could bring recent converts and one of our converts was asked to share her testimony with everybody.  I was super nervous when she was asked to do this because she is really shy and i didn't think that she had a testimony that big but she went up there and shared a beautiful testimony about her conversion and how she knows this church is true because before we started visiting her family they were at the point of separation and as we kept visiting them they felt mas Peace and unity in their home and family and she started to cry.  And i also started to cry because it was really special for me to hear her testimony and that we were able to be instruments in the hands of the Lord to help save this family that is really special and precious to me.

Love you all and hope life is going great for everyone

Hey everyone.

Well I am a trainer, i received a new Elder today named elder Torres from Peru and I get to train him in my area Tezoquipan so I am going to be here fro another 3 months while he is learning how to be a missionary ha ha.  I'm super nervous about it but at the same time i now that I can do it with the help of the Lord so lets do this lo!

This last week was pretty crazy with my companion we had a lot of ups and downs but we also had a lot of success.  We found a hermana that has her son that's 20 we taught both of them and they told us in the first lesson that they have received an answer that this is true because we were there with them teaching them which was awesome.  They live in a part of our area that I've only been to 1 time before and so it was awesome that we were able to find them and teach them.

Also it getting really hard to speak English so if my emails don't make any sense i
m sorry.

hey hall life has been pretty great here in Tezoquipan, Tlaxcala

We had emergency transfers last Monday so my companion got transferred to Puebla and I'm Senor Companion here in my area with an elder Named Elder Lyle's from California.  he has about a year in the mission and we are working on adjusting to each other because we work in different ways.  he served almost all his mission in big cities in Puebla and its a lot different than the farmlands of Tlaxcala but we are working hard to strengthen our relation ship.

We found a less active member this week named Melvin who has really done a lot of bad things in his life and i mean a lot.  I had tried to find him with my other companion but we never did.  But we found him this week and talked with him and we had a lesson about Repentance and how it is never too late to repent of something that happened in the past and how we can always change because the Atonement is infinite, its not just a one time thing.  I bore my testimony on how it can change his life and how be can receive blessings that he needs when he comes to church and follows the steps of Repentance.  And he started to Cry and i started to cry.  Then my companion shared the video called  "He Lives" about Jesus Christ and what he did for us then we all started crying ha ha it was super spiritual and funny at the same time.

I love this gospel so much and my testimony of the atonement has grown so much during my time here as a missionary.  I love being able to dedicate all of my time in serving the Lord and helping these people understand the atonement and how it can help them change their lives.
