I'm moving to Serdan!

The Read Family-

Que Honda! How has everyone been? Amber, how is Parker doing? Brandon, how is school going? How are the girls? Its good to hear from you guys once again. I always look forward to your emails.

This last week it rained a ton. In El Seco, it rains just like back home. Besides trying to get in and teach people, everything has been going well. This will be the last week here in El Seco. Me and my comp are moving to Serdan. The members are so cool here, I will miss them. But the move will be better for the work. We have 2 progressing investigators in Serdan. Everything has been going well.

It sounds like Sunday went well. Everyone gave a talk. I hope it went well. Thank you guys for your support and love that you show through the emails. I love you guys. Talk to you next week. Later

I have a new companion!! YEAH!

Amber,

Hey guys! How is everyone doing? Amber, how has the pregnancy been? I hope everyone is doing well.

Well, another week has pasted and everything is going a lot better. With my new companion Elder Ayala, he has really helped me to enjoy the mission. We have a baptism coming up here in a couple week. The baptism will be in Serdan. The Serdan area is closed at this point in time but I think it will be re opened here in the near future because there is more work in Serdan than in El Seco, where we live. The work has been good. I'm learning much more much faster.

I have learned that weaknesses are a good thing. The more weaknesses you have the more work you will have to put forth but you will taste that sweet fruit in the end. The fruit of overcoming and perfecting. Tasting the difference and what you can do through your effort. I have many weaknesses but I know the Lord has a plan for me. Right now, I think I need to understand my weaknesses and take them head on and overcome them and through my Savior Jesus Christ, he will make up the difference as long as I do my best and believe on his name.

I love this work. I love my family and all they do for me. Thank you guys! I hope you enjoyed the pictures. I love you all.

I Miss McDonalds!

Amber!!!

Que Honda mi hermana? Whats up my sister? How was your week? How are the girls? Thank you for the pictures of Ashlyn and the pics of Dad and Brandon! The pictures are awesome!

Amber, I'm still home sick. I appreciate everything that you have done and do now to support me. The scriptures that you gave and your experience with the verses really helped. I know that you love me. Your ability to show your love through the emails is awesome. I really enjoy reading your emails. But really miss you and Brandon. Its hard to not think about you guys because I love you guys so much. The happiness that I felt living with your family before my mission, I will never forget. Lately, I have been thinking, I could be chilling with Amber, eating McDonald's in the car. I love that.

Anyway, this week me and my comp have been working with Martin and his family to get them back to attending church. It has been a difficult month for them with the money issue in traveling to church every Sunday and their grandpa that is sick and has a heart problem. I hope everything will work out for the better. We visited with them yesterday and they seem to be doing a lot better. The grandpa is doing better as well.

I love you Amber and Brandon! Thank you for everything you do for me. Thank you again for the pictures and the faith the you guys have in me. I love you guys. Let me know if you what me to say anything more in my emails or something that I could do better. Much love. Peace!

Hola Hola!

Hey Amber,

HOLA! HOLA! How are you doing? How is Parker doing and how are the girls? Have you guys found a place in Provo yet? How are you and Brandon feeling about all the changes? I hope everyone is doing well.

Well, I'm still in El Seco with the same companion. Still a little home sick but I´m sure it will pass. I received the Birthday Box! Thank you! The Disney Land T is awesome! I loved the pillow case that everyone signed. Along with other the other goodies. I loved all the bday cards as well. Thank you guys for everything.

This last week, we got our district together for a pday activity. We decided to climb up Peco De Orisava! It was about a three hour drive and then we hiked about 5 miles. Read some scriptures and chilled for a while. It was awesome! We didnt have enough time to get to the snow but the view was great and it was freaking fun! Good times!

Thank you for all your support and love. I´m beginning to recognize all the many blessings in my life. Especially, for the family that I have been blessed to be in. I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for the family that I have. Amber and Brandon I love you. Family, I love all you guys.

Amber, you always know what to say thank you.

This week was pretty good. Me and my companion have a baptism set up for this week. Then, the week after we have 2 more! Im stoked! Hopefully we will keep it up and keep the spirit. I know we will since my comp has the record for baps in all of the Puebla mission. 83!! He has helped me out a lot with my Spanish. We get a long great! He is real funny and I´m laughing all the time.

It looks like Disney Land was blast! The hoodies are Chido! Nice touch Brandon. I would totally wear one. The pictures of the girls and the fam are amazing!! I love Brooklyn! Your girls are picture perfect. They should be on the cover of the Disney vacation! My two favorites are the Tea cups and when the girls are with Jasmine. Oh! and of course Brooklyn with the ice cream! Okay, I liked all of the pictures. Send more if you would like. I wouldn't mind.

I want my family to know that I love them and am very grateful that my Heavenly Father blessed me with such a cool family. I love each and every one of my brothers and sisters for the characters they bring to the family and for the love that we show to each other. I love my parents. You guys are pretty crazy but arent we all. If it wasnt for your faith in our Father in Heaven I wouldnt be here. I know that our Heavenly Father is watching over everyone one of you and loves you. The church is true! I love you guys thanks for the box of love. Later!
