Mexican Night, and BAPTISM!!!!

Welll what a week we have had here in Chilpancingo Guerrero.
So this week was pretty rough. We worked real hard all week and wednesday we went and talked to one of our investigators Carlos, and told him that we think that he´s ready for baptism. Because he is. And said that he should get baptised this week, and he said OK! haha it was really a miracle. he´s progressed super well over hte last month. To tell the truth, my first lesson I was thinking that he wasn´t going anywhere because he didn´t seem like someone that would progress. Then he read, prayed, and came to church, then got an answer that it´s true and got baptized!!!! yeah!!!! It was such a great day. I was super happy. I haven´t been so long without baptising since the beginning of my mission. But it was really a blessing these last 4 weeks. And now we have a cool family of 5 that we´re working with. They came to church for the second time yesterday and we´re going with them everynigth this week to seee if they want to be baptised this week. haha. Well the works goings well right now.
We also had a Mexican night this week, because the 15 of September is mexico´s independence day. We had to be in early becuase people get crazy and shoot lots of guns in the air. People die sometimes. haha, But nothing happened. The Noche Mexicana was pretty cool in the church though. They had dances, and songs, and Tamales, Horchata, agua de Jamaica, and much much more! haha but sadly we had to leave early so we didn´t see it all.
Oh and last week I weighed myself and I oficially weight 200 pounds! that means that i´ve lost 47 pounds in the last 14 months.... wow. And speaking of that in 2 days I complete 14 months! wow! ONLY 10 LEFT! When they say time flies by. it really does. Thats not a lie. haha But i´m loving every moment of it here with Elder Munden. And now we´re going to go eat Pizza!! yeah!!! p.s. Good pizza in mexico is expensive. Crappy pizza is also expensive. Good thing for rich members! haha eyah!!!! love you all tons!!!
Love

HOLA FAMILIA!!

Well hello!!
So this week was pretty crazy! WE were workin pretty har then Saturday we had the opportunity to go to Cuernavaca to listen to Elder Ballard!!!!!!!! The only bad part was that our bus left at 4. a.m. So we had to get up at 3 and head out there..... yeah. it was rough. I only slept like 2 hours. But it was an AMAZING conference. President Spannaus (my mission President) Called me friday night and told me that was I was going to be leading the music in the conference, it was really cool. I got to Shake Elder Ballards hand.... 3 times!!! haha but seriously, we learned a ton about how to be affective missionaries. It was super great, and this week we`re going to go out and work super hard!!! We hopefully will be havign a baptism of Carlos this week. WE have a bunch of people that are getting there, but it`s been pretty hard so far here. but i`m still super excited!!!
Well Thats about all the exciting things that happened this week. Not a whole lot goes on here in Chilpancingo.
Well I love you ALL tons! and hope your having a great time!!!!

Well hellllooooo!!!!!

How is everyone? Good I hope. haha because I am too. Sweaty and tired from Soccer. But good. haha
this week Elder Munden and I started working. But WORKING! We´ve just destroying our area. We are getting the ward super excited and they´re helping us a ton with lessons with memebers, and we had a miracle of 12 investigators int he Church!!! Yeah!! The most i´ve had in my mission. We have a rough month ahead of us full of a TON of work. But ´we´re up for it. I´m glad i´m here with My companion, he likes working. and SO DO I!!! haha
But I reallydont have a lot to report. Except that i´m not a fan of Teaching 7th day adventists... not the funnest. They just don´t understand that the sabath day was changed to sunday with the Ressurection of Christ. They just don´t get it.... rough times. But we keep giong on!!!
As you can tell I finally added the photos of The baptism of Narciso, and Ana!!! And if you´ve paid attention the 3 kids are already baptised. The WHOLE FAMILY!! That made me super super happy... haha But here we´ve found a couple families super CHIDOS!! (if you don´t know what that means ask your nearest Mexican (not racist)) So hopefully we´ll be seeing some water here pretty soon haha. But I really am enjoying myslef here. I wake up in the mornings cold here sometimes! I LOVE IT! haha and i´m only like an hour and a half away from Acapulco. it would be a nice place to have a summer house some day... just saying. haha
Well thats about it. I hope you all have a fantastic week and i´ll talk to you next MONDAY!!!
Love you all!
