Well hello everyone!

This week was crazy. The weeks are now flying by like days. I can´t believe how fast the time goes on the mission. We had a pretty crazy week that involved looking a lot for the girl that was supposed to get baptized. Well she didn´t. haha And we couldn´t find her until Saturday night, but she told us that she started working and has been busy with school and stuff. So we´re looking to see if she will be baptized this week. So things are starting to move forward here, little by little. But I´m staying excited about the things that are to come.
we started playing manheim steamroller in our apartment this week! My companion has a bunch on his Ipod. it rocks and is getting me super excited for Christmas, even though Halloween is only a week away. Here, they don´t really celebrate halloween, they celebrate, Dia de los Muertos (the day of the dead) it´s crazy. I´ll take pictures and send them.
We finally got a ward mission leader!!! He got back from the mission like 3 weeks ago! haha i´m excited to start working with him. and yeah. Thats about it. We´ve got a couple people that could very well get baptized in this next month, but we´re having a serious problem getting people to come to church! I don´t know why it´s so hard, but they just won´t come!!! lame. If any one has idea on how I can help them come tell me. haha
well thats about all that I have for this week. I lov eyou all and hope that you have a fantastic week! Keep praying and Reading your Scriptures!

Well what a week

Can I tell you all just how crazy this week has been? haha well the halloween season has picked up here in Mexico, We just got back from Wallmart. They had a huge halloween display up, it was playing the nightmare before Christmas in Spanish. Not as good. But still pretty good I think. haha I didn´t watch it, I just heard the singing. So we had lots of work and we´ve been concentrating on a few people. Hopefully this saturday we Will have the baptisms of Cinthia and Ramiro, more for sure Cinthia. They´re siblings. She´s really cool, their mom is a member and they just haven´t really wanted to get baptized until now. We´re very excited. haha.
So crazy story for the week. yesterday myc ompanion and I went to eat lunch at a members house after church. When we were done we went on a walk to our house, and my companion wanted to show me a super steep hill in our area. But we got lost looking for it. And we ended up wandering into the other area by ours, which right now doesn´t have elders in the ward. So we pased by a members house and they told us to come over so we did. Turns out this week their niece and her "husband", Candy and Manuel, moved in with they from Acapulco where they´d been investigating the church, and they both want to get baptized!! So we did a little family home evening and started preparing them. They´re very interested and live with an awesome family. This friday we´re going to go get them married in a neighboring town called Zumpango and this saturday they´re going to get baptized!!! haha we´re verye xcited. We were wondering why we got lost just looking for a hill, but now we know why! the Lord works in Mysterious ways. haha Well i love you all tons and hope that you are all fantastically great on this find Monday.
With Love

Welll hello family! Another mission Goal Accomplished!!

Well hello!
This week was definately a good one. We were working really hard to get a good amount of investigators and found 21 new people to teach this week!! woot! All the time we were also preparing for the Baptism of Jesus! That was a goal accomplished in the mission, I wanted to baptize someone named Jesus. Yeah, we found him like 2 weeks ago. His daughter is a member that we reactivated and baptized her daughter, then she told us to come by later and talk with her dad, so we did. He´s super duper cool. He progressed seriously so fast, It was a great day to see him get baptized. his son Baptized him, he´s going on a mission to Chile in January. It´s super cool. But yeah. so that was the highlight of this week. We have a lot of work to do here in these next few weeks and I have a lot of work to do as well. We have a relatively new district so we´re going to start really cool training in district meeting. From the SCRIPTURES!!! yeah!
So yeah, that is just a few things of what are happening here in Chilpancingo Guerrero! I¨m very excited. Sadly I don´t have very much time so i´ll send pictures next week ok?? LOVE YOU ALL TONS!!

Well hello! CONFERENCE!

Well hello everyone.
Wasn`t this week just so superly great AWESOME!!! I think it was. Because we got the awesome opportunity to see General Conference! i loved it. We watched all 5 sessions in the stake center, and because right now we`re a lot of Americans in my zone, we watched all 5 sessions in English!!! It was great. I`m not going to lie, I love spanish. But hearing the Prophet speak, and hearing a translation of his talk in spanish, are two very different things. There were tons of talks taht I loved. I loved President Uchdorfs talk, and in the final sessions J. Devn Cornish. The newly called 70 from 6 months ago. he`s turning into one of my favorite 70s. haha But really the whole conference was amazing and talked a lot about missionary work. I loved it. it really got me excited to start workin this next week. I love having conference, then p day to rest, then GET BACK TO WORK!!! thats what i`m doing. I loved when President Eyering told the story of him and President hinkley in the Hotel, WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING?? I laughed a lot. but it really stuck with me. Why aren`t we doing EVERYTHING that we can in our callings of the church. Whether it be full time missionary, Ward missionary, of Teacher of the high priests group. We need to strive for the best in everything, prepare ourselves as best as we can, so when the moment comes that we are needed, we`re ready. Because you know what they say. "when the time to act is here, the time to prepare has long passed". I wanted to share that thought with all of you, that i`m super excited for the Blessings that Heavenly father has for me for doing his work and I know that he has many many blessings ready for all of you, as you work hard is your callings of the church. And for anyone who doesn`t have a calling, or isn`t worthy of performing your call, I challenge you all to do everything possible to be worthy, or if you just don`t have one, Talk to you bishop, and ask him what can you possibly do to help in the church, and i`m sure he will be more than happy to put you to work.
Were getting ready this week, for the baptism of Jesus Adolfo. he is super great. He is the Grandpa of the little girl that got baptized a week ago. We`ve been teaching him for 2 weeks now, and he has progressed soooo fast it`s amazing. he is reading and praying and went to conference and loved it. He`s super excited and ready. Sadly, he doesn`t live in our area, so the Zone leaders are going to baptise him. But oh well, thats how things in the mission are sometimes.
These last 2 days, we`ve had 2 other campanionships staying at our house. They both live in little villages in the middle of no where, so they were here for conference. Oh and to answer a question of someone, pretty much no one watches it in their house. sometimes. But not a lot. One of the missionaries that was here, Elder Slade. Is dying this wednesday. This last week completed 2 years, and sadly I said goodbye for the last time for some time today. But we will see each other again. for sure. haha
We also had CHANGES THIS WEEK!!! But We DIDN`T GET CHANGED!! I^m very happy. Elder Munden and I are a good companionship. We push each other and learn fast, We`re going to do really good this Change.
Well thats about all that I have for all of you. I love you all tons tons and loads and hope that you are all happy with what was said at conference and are trying to find ways of making yourself better. I know I am.
I love you all!!
