Well hello family!!!!

What a fantastic week it was. It started off slow and prety rough, as the change was coming to an end. But it ended well, with Zone conference on friday! very spiritual and got me pumped for my next change, that i´m staying here with Elder Munden!!! 3 changes we´ll have now!! woot woot!! And the best part of the week was 2 baptisms!!! We´ve been talking with these two kids, Enrique, and Ana. Cousins. And they have been progressing very well, and they both told us that they wanted to get baptised this last week. So we got them prepared and Sunday morning right before the services we baptized them both! it was awesome! So yeah, it turned out to be a very good week. i´m excited for this next change with Elder Munden. WE´re going to work even harder, we have a goal to baptize 8 people in this next change. That would be great!! haha I know we can do it. We just need to work harder and be more obedient. which we´pre going to do. so yeah!

Today, i included pictures!! of the baptism and of us with out zone leaders. One of them left for acapulco today. We´re getting a new ZL. sad. but cool.

Well i love you all tons. Sorry i don´t write much anymore. I just don´t know what else to say. I talked to elder White in the morning, My last companion, he´s just leaving Coahuixtla to go to Alta Mirano, the hottest area in the mission. haha, he says that my 2 families that I baptized in Coahuixtla are active and doing great! Both the dads have received the priesthood, and the mom that i didn´t baptize has an awesome testimony now. I´m planning on returning in about there in about a year to go to the temple with them.

Well I love you all tons and hope that you have all kicked off Christmas!! I put up my tree yesterday!!! woot woot!!

Love

hola familia!!!

Well hooowowwdddyyy!!!!
This week turned out be pretty great. We´re teaching a bunch of youth right now that are all progressing to baptism. We have one baptism for the next week, Enrique. He´s super cool. his siblings are almost all members, just fritos (fried) and rarely go. But he goes every week and told us he wants to get baptized saturday!!! yeah!!! We played basketball with him today. We also found out this last week that theres a little girls in the ward that needs to get baptized. She´s 8 and doesn´t have any papers in the church so she´s OURS!! mwahaha. She´s been active her whole life and loves the missionaries, so we thought. "we´ll just go over and tell her to get baptized sunday morning and have an easy baptizm". NOT SO EASY. haha little girls sometimes are serious business. She does not want to! haha, rebel. But we´re going to talk to her this week and her grandma is basically going to make her get baptized, because she needs to. She´s gone to church her WHOLE life. haha so hopefully if everything goes well we´ll have both baptisms this week. This week is also changes. I think my companion is going. And i´ll probably stay.
Well i dont have much time. i love you all tons mucho mucho much and hope your all doing well
Love

hola

Well i don´t have a lot of time. But We had 2 baptisms that we really really great!!! The first picture is the siblings that we baptized this week. Cinthia and Ramiro. They were a fight to get baptized but finally told us this week that they were ready, so we baptized them right after church. It was fantastic!!

The other two is the couple i found 2 sundays ago that i told you about. They got baptized last week. They invited us to their baptism. It was awesome. They´re names are Candy and Manuel. It makes me really happy to see couples and siblings get baptized. haha

Well sorry i didn´t write much but i love you all tons and have no more time.

Love elder Summers

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!
Love
Elder Summers

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

Elder Summers
