Daylight Savings and Halloween.
Oct 29th at 5:21PM
Hey everyone,
Daylight savings was probably one of the best moments I've had on my mission so far.
Getting to sleep in for an extra hour was amazing ha ha.
Also everyone here is getting ready for Dia Delos muertos. Its really cool to see all the culture come out and what they actually do in Mexico to celebrate it. So far the movie Coco is pretty spot on.
Also I taught my companion how to carve a pumpkin today. Ha Ha I didn't want to do anything today so we stayed home ordered a pizza and carved pumpkins it was awesome and super relaxing.
This week has been super cray and stressful adapting to my new responsibilities as District Leader but it honestly has been such a blessing because I've been working harder than I every have been in my mission and have seen a lot of miracles from it as well.
We had a baptism interview for one of the people that we are teaching but she didn't pass so that was pretty sad for us but she still wants t get baptized which is good. We are going to wait for an interview with the mission President because its something really serious that we cant really do anything about as missionaries but lets see what our president says. We also have a few other people that are progressing a lot and it has been awesome to work with them and help them with trouble and trials that they are having in their life in this moment. I know that the Lord puts us in the path of certain people who really are ready to listen to the gospel or the need the help of the missionaries in that exact moment. And its awesome that I can be one of those people that goes and helps others in their trials.
I love all of you and hope everything is going well.

Confirmation and New District leader.
Oct. 22, 2018 4:42 PM
Hey Everyone,
This week has been super interesting and stressful. We were able to confirm the Sister that we baptized last week and it was super awesome to see how excited she was to be a member of the Church. So hopefully the ward will help her remain active.
I'm still in my first area in the mission so I'm officially going to be here for 6 months of my mission which is awesome but at the same time I want a little bit of a change. I was also called to be a district leader this week, but they changed my district so I have no clue where anyone in my district is or where their chapel's are so it will be fun this week looking for all of that. And I'm still training my son Elder Torres and we are really getting a long and having a lot of success.
We have been working a lot with some members that are preparing to serve missions as well as the Bishop and we are gaining their trust a lot more. Its awesome to see the benefits of the hard work that we do everyday especially when we trust in the Lord.
Also we went to Burger King today with some Elders in the area next to ours that are no longer in our district but it was fun and tasty as well.
Also a picture of our old district leader who just finished his mission so we celebrated his death.
Love you guys

We are Getting A Temple
October 8, 2018 pm
This conference weekend was amazing but I just want to start by saying our mission is going to get a temple which is awesome. All of the members were cheering and crying when they announced it was well as almost all the missionaries yes I was one of them as well, its going to help motivate us a ton to keep working hard and finding more and more people. I loved all the talks in Conference and encourage all of you to go back and read them as much as you can to be spiritually fed.
Also I am now in a trio. One of the Elders in the area ours went home because of problems with his ankles so they combined our two areas and made us a trio so we now have basically the biggest area in the mission with a lot of different appointments in a lot of different cities so lets see how that goes. It only going to be for two weeks because that's how much time we have left in this exchange but lets see what happens.
We had a miracle this week we went to have a baptism interview for one of the people that we are teaching and she brought her son who we haven't taught a lot. His name is Fernando and he is 20 but we had our district leader interview him as well to see how it sent.. And he passed which was a miracle but now he is a little skeptic but we are going to work with him a lot to keep him excited for this Saturday.
We have had a lot of success with a few less active people in our ward and have been looking for a few families that haven't come to church in a while and its been awesome to teach them and see their faith start to grow again

Hey Monday Oct 1, 2018
Hey Everybody.
This week was really good here in Tezoquipan. To start with mi hijo. My son Elder Torres is progressing so much its awesome to see how much he is learning and growing in the mission. Also we visited some Pyramids today with a companionship from a different area. We were there for over 2 or 3 hours looking at these things and walking around they are huge lo! It was awesome to see the culture and the history with these. Pyramids was one of them had a huge painting of a battle between black and white people and underneath it had a little plaque explaining what it was and it tried to give a few explanations of what it was but whats cool is it is literally a painting of a battle between the Nephritis and the Lamentites.
The work here has been super hard these past few weeks we have hit a lot of brick walls and a lot of people with hard hearts that don't really want to listen or change but we have been moving forward with faith and have found a few people that have a lot of desires to progress and accept this gospel so we are working a lot with them to help them move forward.
We also had a zone conference this week and we talked about following the impressions of the spirit and as we Incorporated that into our work we were able to find people that wanted to listen when normally we would be doing another thing. I really can testify that when we listen to the spirit we can be protected from danger and we can have a lot of spiritual experiences.
I love you guys and hope that you all have an amazing week.
