I'm doing fine I just had some McDonalds!

Weekly Update: Today we had changes. My companion Elder Thorpe is staying in Atlixco, Cabrera. He is also going to train a greenie or in other words, he will be getting a kid. I guess the Lord has different plans for me. I was changed to the city of Puebla in Los Angeles. It has pretty much everything. I'm stoked! My new companion is Elder Alvarado and has 21 months in the mission. Also, one of our Zone leaders is from my district in the MTC, Elder Brown. He was telling me that every week we give service every week to help people find jobs. I'm assuming like a call center. This should be fun.

Thank you for all the love a support. I'm excited to see what the Lord has in store for me and this area. I love you guys. Keep pushin on! Dont worry, I'm doing fine I just had some McDonald's. Peace out!

Time is flyin!

Hey guys! What is goin on? How have you guys been? Its good to hear that everyone is growing up... I guess. Kobe is already ten and Alexa is hitting her teenage years. Time is flyin!

Weekly Update: Me and Elder Thorpe, by the way the word "thorpe" means slow or retarded, just a fun fact for you guys. Anyway, we have discovered that our investigator Brother Maximino has been drinking coffee. He has been attending church every Sunday and is doing really good he just needs to drop the coffee. Also, we had divisions this last Saturday. I went and worked in Metepec with Elder Alba and my comp stayed here in Cabrera with Elder Rosgado. Me and Elder Alba were knocking doors and came in contact with a lady and her 6 month old baby. She let us in and we started teaching lesson 1 and at the end of the lesson we asked if she could say the closing prayer. We explained how to pray right before and then she said she would say it. She started off good and she started crying while she was thanking her Heavenly Father. I felt the spirit really strong and that moment just testified to me how important this work is and how important it is to help others know the truth even how to pray. After we asked if we could stop by again and she accepted. It was way cool and I am very thankful to have been a part of that lesson.

Thank you for all the love and support once again. By the way, I did get the birthday box! Thank you guys! It was all super cool. Socks and candy baby! Also, about the shoes. I think It would be better if you guys could send me some shoes. I like dark brown or black. Size 11.5 and if you cant find 11.5 just get 11´s, that should be good. Maybe a new CRT shirt, long sleeve, neck size 15.5. If you could send some more Cetiphil, its the same that Brandon uses. I love you guys. Talk to you later. Peace.

Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day! You guys sound awesome. Your fam is so cool. I think that was the first time I have heard Brooklyn talk! I heard Parker a little bit too. I love talking to you guys too.

Weekly update: Maximino will have is interview here on the 10th. Then we will see when we can have his baptism. We also have been teaching Mari, who works for the bishop. She is ready, just a few problems with the word of wisdom and chasity. Other than that, just the same ol work. Contacting, knocking doors and asking for references.

Thanks for all the love and support. Hopefully, I will be able to get your bday package that you guys sent me pretty soon. I want you guys to know that I love you and am thankful to have you and Brandon's example in my life. I know that this church is true and Joseph Smith was a true prophet of Christ and restored his church. The Book of Mormon is true. Love you guys. Peace Out!

It's been 80 degrees in our house!

Hola hola! How have you guys been doing? Its way freakin hot today, you have no idea. The past couple of nights has been a little warm in our house. My comp has a thermometer in his clock and our room temp hangs around 80. Not to bad right ha ha.

Weekly update: Me and my comp, Elder Thorpe, have been working with Hno. Maximino and we have taught him everything and he has been coming to church 3 weeks in a row now. His interview with Pres. Rex will be on May 10th. He is progressing well and I have seen a change in him. Not a huge change but enough to noticed a different level of happiness that he has. You can just see it. Super cool. I'm excited for him and hope that he can continue living the gospel. We have also been trying to get some references through members... It hasn't really been working but hopefully they can help us out. The work goes on.

I know that this church is the church of thy son Jesus Christ. That it has been restored through Joseph Smith who was called of God. That he received the same authority through 3 of Christs original apostles. I know that the priesthood is a responsibility that we have be given to bless the lives of others. I love you guys and am very grateful for all the love a support you show me. I love you Amber! Peace Out!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter! Thanks for the email! Sorry about the mix up the other day. Im just a little slow.

Weekly update: Elder Thorpe and me were going to have a baptism this last Sunday but some things feel through and we will have to wait for couple more weeks. Our investigator Maximino is progressing so well and will have his interview with the President on May 10th. Until then he will have to show his willingness and faith in the Lord and really he is just by doing the basics. Such as praying, reading the Book of Mormon and going to church. These three things are key to having the spirit and strengthening his testimony. Just by doing the basics can protect us from temptation and sin. Its so easy but yet so hard.

Thank you for all the love and support. Peace Out!

Working Hard

Weekly update: My companion Elder Breffle finished his mission and went back to Denver, Colorado. I am staying here in Cabrera and Tulipanes, Atlixco. My new companion is Elder Thorp from Idaho and he has 8 months in the mission. This coming Sunday we will be baptising Maximino if everything works out right. He went to church last Sunday and really liked it. We will see what happens with him this week. Also, with my old comp Elder Breffle, we broke a record in the zone for most contacts. We contact 105 people last week! We worked our feet off. He also had a couple blisters on his feet by the time he left. I told him that's how you know that you finished strong.

Thank you for sending me some birthday love. I haven't got them yet but I cant wait to see what you guys sent me. Also, last week there was an earthquake as you know and no I didn't feel anything... Which is crap because that would have been cool. But other Elders did feel it. Well, thank you for everything you do. I love you guys! Peace!
