3 Baptisms set up!!

What up! How you guys doin?

Weekly update: My comp and me have been working hard this past week. Knocking a lot of doors and just looking to get in and share our message and the Joseph Smith story. The street we picked this week was rough. But we did end up teaching two lessons right at the front door. One accepted for a return visit and the other denied. Also, this week we set a baptism date with Enriqueta. She accepted and her bdate is the 4th of December. I'm stoked! 3 baps set up for these coming weeks and 1 other potential bap as well.

Also, this week our street that we live on is being replaced and is under construction. The whole street is a big pile of dirt. Pretty crazy cool. I will take some pictures and send them to you guys sometime.
School and future. I will be coming to Utah after my mission to be near you guys and go to school and work. Maybe even live with guys, who knows. I know I will need to take some tests to be able to get in a school but we can check that out later. That's as far as my thought process has gone. More will surface as I get closer to returning home.

P-Days: Lately, we have been able to get some of our zone together and play soccer on a turf field. Which is pretty cool. Usually after we play we go out to eat some where, that's my doing. For the most part we have just played soccer. I haven't been able to play a lot of basketball, which blows but its all good. Its Mexico. Im not that bad at soccer and I'm getter better the more I play. That's my pdays.

Thank you for the updates on everything. I like hearing about all the cool news. Thank you for the emails and your support. No one told me that we win a vacation after we serve a mission. That's kind of cool. I love you guys! Peace!

Hey guys! Its great to hear from you once again. How is everyone doing? It sounds like Amber got a jump start on the Christmas decorations. Way to be! I love the holidays.

Weekly update: Our investigators, Ramor and Marisela had there baptismal interview and they passed. We set there bdate at the end of this month on the 28th. They will also be married the day before on the 27th. It will be an exciting weekend for them. Guillermo has been progressing but he cant make up his mind or commit to be baptised. He wants to but wont except a date. He will come through sometime. We have some other potentials that are moving a long as well.

Lately not to much has been happening. The weather is getting colder. Especially at night and in the mornings. During the day is perfect though. How is the weather back home? Well I hope all is going good. Keep me updated on everyone. Thank you for all that you do for me and for you example. I love you Amber and Brandon. If there is anything else you want me to put in my emails just let me know. Peace Out!

My Comp passed his one year mark!

Happy Halloween! How was it? How have you guys been? Thank you for the pictures! The girls are cute! Parker is a rad dino and my favorite costum was of the Facebook box with Jim Boy or Goat boy? Im not sure... What were you Amber?

Weekly update: My companion Elder Stone passed his one year mark. We decided to celebrate by lighting one of his old white shirts on fire, symbolizing one year has passed in the mission. Also, down here in Mexico we celebrated Day of the Dead or Dia de Muertos. It is a catholic celebration but its just like Halloween. Everyone dresses up and goes trick or treating. Just like back at home. Also, they give out food to those who have passed away and set it by there grave.

Investigators: Guellirmo has been taught all the lessons and then some. He is ready to be dunked. He will probably be baptised this coming Sunday or the next. We are letting him decided. We also have two others, Ramon and Marisela. They have been attending church for a little over a year. They are around Amber and Brandon's age and way cool. They are living together and haven't been married or baptised yet. Marisela has been waiting for a divorce to go through from a past relationship. Last week the divorce was finalized! They are planning to get married as well as baptised this month. We will have a couple baps for this month.

Today we had changes. Me and my comp. Elder Stone are staying here in Puebla South, University. Which is cool. He has helped me out a lot with the freaking Spanish. He's cool and we work together well. The weather has cooled down a little bit but not much. It is cooler at night though. During the day it hangs around in the 80's. Its hot, I'm not going to lie.

Thank you for the email! I hope all is well with you and your fam. In a couple months we will be able to talk! No mangos, I almost have a year. I love you guys! Keep pushing on! Peace!

Hey! Whats up? Thank you for the emails and pictures. How have you guys been? Its great to hear from y'all.

Weekly update: My comp and me have been teaching Guillermo and have prepared him for baptism and all the lessons have been taught to him. This last week was his step of faith by talking to his parents about our church and about joining our the church. He was able to talk to them and where there is a will there is a way. They accepted his choice, not happy about the issue but accepted his decision. Through his faith things are going to work out. Faith is very important in our progression process here in this life. Faith is a principle of power. Using it in the right way opens opportunities and change in our lifes. Guillermo is excited about baptism. We will set a bdate with him this week.

Our other investigators well, arent really golden like Guillermo but we have been teaching others but they aren't progressing very well. We haven't been able to meet back Guadalupe.

Sounds like every one is doing good. Kids are growing like crazy. Keep me updated on everyone as you always do. Its good to hear from you. I love you Amber. Keep being an awesome mom and sister! I love you guys. Peace!
