What type of Crazy mission do i work in???

Well hello!! Guess what???
Oficially, as of today, I`m not constantly sweating anymore!!! Woot!!
Do you know why? because today was Changes, And i`m Back in Morelos!
Where you don`t melt to death in the Acapulco sun. haha, yes, after my
short 3 months in acapulco, the Lord has called me to serve in the are
of Tlatenchi, Zone Galeana! About an hour from Cuernavaca and Cuautla!
Sadly i had to say goodbye to Elder Gonzalez!, but Happily i`m now
with my new companion, Elder Pacori! He`s from Peru. He seems super
cool and obedient, he has less like 4 months in the mission, just
finished getting trained. I have a feeling we`re going to get along
super well and be super obedient.
My area. Is pretty hot, but hot like Utah! Dry not super duper hot
hot. So you don`t sweat unless your directly in it. It`s super flat!
:) unlike acapulco. and we meet in the newest stake center in the
mission!! woot woot!! it`s super nice. i`m very excited.
Yes, so other events that have happened. yesterday we had the
baptism of Yesenia!! but sadly we couldn`t do it in our church,
because the font was broken! But luckily I basically lived on the
beach! So we went to a Laguna right by the house and baptized there!!!
woot!!! Dream of the mission officially complete! I`ll send pictures
in another email.
So yes, this week that comes up, 3 people in acapulco are getting
baptized, sadly i wont be able to attend their baptismal services, but
my companion promised to send pictures. so i promise to send them to
you as well!
yes, i`m very excited, and feel invigorated to be in my last area in
the mission, because i`m about 98% sure it`s my last, I feel like i`m
just started to reach my potential as a missionary and with my last 4
months i`m going to do something that i`ve never done before!
Well thats about all to report this week. LOVE YOU ALL TONS!! And am
very greatful for all of your prayers.
Love

Progress!!!

Well Hey family!!!

This week was pretty great! We had an awesome conference On Friday and Saturday with Elder Tenorio, The second councelor of the Area of Mexico. in the First quorum of the 70s. it was awesome! He`s a super enthusiastic person and has TONS of awesome faith building stories. We also had another Conference with Our mission president. he was very few left. He seems kind of sad that he`s getting close to ending the mission, but he`s been an awesome president, Keep your eyes out for future conferences that say ``Elder Alìn Spannaus`` first Quorum of the Seventy. haha but yeah. that was awesome.
We have had some great success too. Two sundays ago we had 2 sisters coem to church, the husband of the one is a less active member, he went too. But they all came to church again this week, it was stake conference! we talked with them a few times with week and chalenged them for a baptismal date on this Saturday!! (because one is about to have a baby in like 2 weeks and we need to baptize her before that happens) haha, they are really excited and progresssing really well!
We also have another Couple, Gonzalo y Clemencia, they are older and came for the third time at conference, they seem really excited and are also have a baptismal date for Saturday! So it looks like we`ll be having a SUPER SATURDAY! We`re really exctied. Gonzalo is almost in Alma in the book of mormon, he reads a tons.
We also found a cool less active family, they came here for California about 8 months ago and haven`t come to church yet, but they are all super cool and said they`re gonna come next sunday. All the kids were born in the US and speak english haha, they have quite a few friends by their house and we`re hoping to receive LOTS of Refereces this week from them.
Yup well the work still goes well here in Acapulco, today we went to ``La Quebrada`` they`re big cliffs and have Cliff divers that jump off like 40 and 50 foot cliffs into the ocean, They say its one of the only places like it on Earth. it was cool, i got some pretty pictures of the water and stuff. yeah. well thats about it
Love you all tons and hope that your having a fantastic week!

Traveling!

So we had another pretty crazy week. Sadly the family that we had all prepared and everything for baptism is falling away. The father told us that definately the daughters couldn´t get baptized, which made us sad, but we´ll going to keep with them. We believe that god can soften his heart. But we have another family thats progressing well. The Grandson came to church on sunday, we became super good friends with him and he seems pretty intent on changing his ways. We have made a bit of changes in our planning and how we´re going to start working this week and we hope to see lots of success. it´s been pretty hard here in Acapulco, but I´m not getting down, i´m just excited to get back to work tomorrow.
We´ve been doing lots of traveling lately, I have Atoyac in my district. That was my starting area. it´s about 2 hours away from acapulco, so whenever i got it takes half a day away. We´re doing divisions with them today also so it should be pretty interesting. But i´ve spent a lot of time in the buss. haha
Well i´m going to send 3 pcitures! one of the Baptism of Griselda 2 weeks ago!!! weee!! other of a cool bus we found in Acapulco, it´s called ´´The Black Pearl´´ I love it. haha it´s my companion and me. And the other is a picture in the back of our church, and for any questions, yes, that is the ocean. We have an ocean view in our church. it´s pretty awesome haha.
Well i love you all and hope that your having a fantastic week!
