4/21/14

Aw enserio!! Thats not cool! thats sweet the you got a new computer though. I cant think of anything that I need really ya no se. I totally forgot about Easter..... although the atonement has been on my mind a lot lately.. I've studied a lot about it! and Its so important because its the center of the gospel and we need to use it everyday to find strength and forgivness. Oh since conference I would encourage everyone tio have they're own preach my gospel. The lessons are so basic but you can find so many wonderful new concepts in them. Also chapter 6 is probably the best thing I have ever read and studied.

Well now you just have more room for new pictures in the future haha. Sorry that happened though. This week was NOT busy at all! because there a catholic holiday and since everyone is catholic here they take like two weeks off of school and work to just go on vacation. It's aweful...... No me gusta.... oh tambien I had divisions this last week too and there was no one home even the members were gone so we didnt get a whole lot done this week. Oh!!! We have a baptism this week!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited!!! Haha I dont know if I told you last week but all of our investigators are really old I mean like 80yrs old old. Haha its the best because I dont have to teach the awkward lesson of the law of chastity haha. Not that the law of chastity isnt good but its just awkward to teach. haha Well to end on a less weird noteI hope all is going well the end of the school year is coming up soon! thats gonna be fun for summer be there. Love ya all

Week 8 Letter

Hola mi familia! 

Wow theres so many things changing at home! I'm sorry to hear that things have gotten rough! I had kind of the same week. I had to get through some hard things. I'm definitely better now! kind of..... today I'm going to the hopital to get some tests done because my mission president saw that my hands shake so he just wants it to be checked out so today I'll find out whats going on I think its just stress but it better to make sure. Other than that this week has been awesome! I love the ward I am in! The members are so caring and helpful to us. I love them so much! 

I'm sad to hear about the Mckays.. Just love them as much as possible and try your best to love them regardless of what they say or do. I will fast for them and pray for them to feel Heavenly Father in their lives.

The mission president just changed last July. His name is Brad Hall and they're from Idaho Falls area. So its possible. I dont know. The president and his wife the kindest most caring people I have ever met and they're always so happy to see us. 

Well I'm sorry that my letters have been short but we dont have a whole lot of time and the key boards are slightly different so its a little difficult to type. anyway all is well with me and my adventures as a missionary. Thank you for all that you do and keep strong! 

Oh one more thing my favorite scriptures are either Moroni 6:4 or 10:32 or in Alma 26:12 is really good too! There is so much to learn from the book of mormon and everytime I read I find something that I can use to help others come to Christ. It's truly amazing. 

I Love you all so much and hope and pray for the best. :) 

Week 7

Mexico is sooooo amazing! Really dirty but amazing! There's so many people and they're all amazing and so kind. This last week I got to meet the entire ward and I had to sing solo in front of them! It was really scary! We have a lot of work to do and its awesome! I am so thankful for the hard work I have to do I know it blesses you and those who need it most. I am so excited to work hard!

The food here is AMAZING! I got to eat pig skin and pig gums......... that was interesting but it was good!  It really is I won't want to leave! We've gotten so much done this last week and I am so grateful it! I got to see a baptism my companion had one this last Saturday and The Hermana was just glowing and I got to bare my testimony in Spanish that was scary and cool at the same time.

What else....... hmm Oh everyone greets eachother with a kiss on the cheek and as misioneras only women can greet us that way. we just shake hands if not. I'm adjusting to it little by little and I'm enjoying every minute.

I love you all and hope you have an awesome week!

Week 5 Letter

That chapter is seriously the best! I learned a lot in Spanish this week, I came back to the apartment and pretty much had headaches from how much studying we've been doing and it's awesome! 

I will use my card this week. We all got this BYU card that automatically gets money put on it so I really don't have to pay for much but I will buy something.  

Brytin was going to quit hm. Well tell her good luck and just be patient. I've had to learn A LOT of that since I've been here so it's good pratice.
