Letter #25

i love you all so much. 

thanks mom dad and ashley for the letters this week!

thanks mom and dad for the talks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love the talks from speechs... and byu devotionals.

i found a couple in the house and they are sooo good.

one about setting goals and it changed my life... but i havent set any goals yet...

so the ward of tejupilco... last week we had a lot of people in the church(over 70). there are some really cool members. there is one lady that with drop everything that she has to go with us and to help us. and she isnt clingy either. she has a powerful testimony. they other day we were with an investigator, and she was testifying so hard about baptism and the importance of doing it right now! that person got baptised hahaha.  the bishop is so cool and super humble. he has thousands of books about the church and he knows so much i carried a 16g usb card(160 pesos-10 dollars) so that he would fill it up. he has a book about the pictograph in abraham and what everything means...

we had another baptism!!!!!!!  his name is alfredo. he is so cool we found him on friday and he had already gone to the church so we  taught with power and authority and through the grace of christ he was touched and got baptised on sunday. he didnt want to do it but he was so happy on sunday... before and after the baptism. he is really smart and when we started talking to him he didnt even believe that much in God... but he is solid and will receive the spirit the next sunday.  

for my birthday... more music!!!! socks(nike dry fit black)!  ties... reese!

i love you all so much and i wish you all the best. and thanks for the talks.

wow what a change it was...

now its a new one. im still here in tejupilco but everyone else in my district left. im here with an ex zone leader that is just amazing! he is from arlington. he has two changes left in his mission so we are going to baptise the world. we will not be in the same area but we will be training two kids. we will each get our kids on thursday.

so we had interviews with president this week and it was an amazing experience.  i have such a greater love for the savior and for his atoning sacrifice... and also for the sacrament.  from now on i will never ever miss the sacrament...  maybe one day you shall hear the story. :)  just tell president hoffman how greatful i am for him and for the atonement of jesus the christ.

can someone send me the talk from bruce r mckonkie... the cleansing power of gethsemeni. it was like one of the last talks he gave before he died and it was a revelation he had.

mom in you talk just tell everyone that very very very few people are living lives worthy for the celestial kingdom.  talk about the obedience! d&c 82:10 130:20-21 to every law with out the slightest bit of gray. alma 37:13. and the joy of the saints mosiah 2 all of the chapter.

wow i love you all so much. and im greatful for all the things you have taught me...

if you could send me baptismal pants and a sweet backpack(not big) with a lot of pockets. if not... its ok :)  wow i love you all!!!!!!!

thanks dustin mom and dad for the letters

Letter #23

hey yall

so im here in tejupilco... its a tiny pueblo way far away. we got here after 5 hours of bus. we are two and a half hours from toluca... we are in the zone of metepec.

my comp is elder mata. is from monterrey. he has a lot of excitement and is going to teach me a lot.

we didnt have time yesterday bc we were traveling all day long and we got  to the house late and we didnt have time so they gave us a little time today to write.

so today i learned about thoughts.  everything begins with what we see and hear. then we depend on how long it stays there. then it goes to the heart if it stays. then it comes out of the mouth.  if it is good when it goes in it will come out good but it if its bad when it goes in then it is bad when it leaves.  thoughts are everything.

so we had another baptism on sunday. a girl that is 18 years old. she is so cool and so ready. when we taught her she felt the spirit and acted on it.  it was so amazing. we were going to baptise the family but the moms sister died and so they left. but the one daughter stayed and she got baptised.

it was a fun last change but this change we are going to baptise sooo much!!!  im going to control my thoughts so much this change to have a ton of baptisms.

thanks so much for your letters and support. this next week if you could send me some talks about prayer... would be awesome!!!

love you all a ton
