Fast Week.. Turkey Day eh.. Okey(: NOVEMBER 25,2013

 
 
Hoping that this letter finds you all happier than a fat kid eating waffles with a lot of doggone syrup.. :D
Well just pretty amazin how fast this time is passin.. We are gonna be hittin the last month of 2013 here soon.. I am gonna be here in Arriaga another 6 weeks, we had transfers again.. thats crazy how fast the time went.. I can only imagine these last 5 transfers I have are gonna be the same thing I dono if I like the fact, but time ticks and there is nothin we can do about it.. Plus I will be home chillin with you all so thats fine with the Gringo..(:

This week was another great week.. We are workin and I am learnin more and more about myself with everyday that comes and goes.. It isn't easy, but just gotta "Fight that Good Fight"  I know with all my heart that I am here to become more like my Savior. And he has given me a short amount of time to feel maybe a little taste of what he felt.. I feel very humble to even be apart of it.. I know the mission is nothing to do with numbers.. It's sad to see missionaries lose sight of their whole purpose gracias to numbers.. I am here to realize my mission and to learn more about Him.. And I feel him trying to make me better.. I just am really grateful, sure miss all of you, but being away from family and loved ones makes this time of year even more special.. Sacrifice is necessary to receive the blessings from heaven, and I know we are being blessed.. Well I sure hope that all is well at home.. (: I love and miss you all more than you know.. This week will pass by fast and we will all be talkin again.. Ridge do work Ballin it up and just have fun doin it.. Time goes fast bro.. thanks again for your letter.. It was awesome to talk to you.. Lookin like a stud man.. But I'm still mas guapo.. Kort.. dude.. I love you and go head and make a doggone snowman for me.. Keep ballin on them fools to.. I love you all.. And always rememebr that.. (: Thanks for all your prayers and love, support and thoughts.. 
HAVE A SHWEET WEEK.. EAt some doggone Mashed Taters and gravy and rolls.. And pumpkin pie.. (: and everything else.. get it right..

11/11/13 People Are Crazy.. (:

 
Hey there! Hopefully this week was a good one.. and hopefully that all of you are smilin(: Let's just say that I can't believe that we are rollin through November like we are.. How was your week..? Bet it was good(: The wind is pickin up here and the temps are tolerable haha it's awesome.. But with this change all the green that there is gonna fade fast.. Just like the mission.. It seems like it is just goin by fast, I feel like I wake up and then I am hittin the bed and sayin my prayers.. It sure is cruisin!  

Well to give you a lil info of this past week I dono where to start haha.. Well we headed to the jungel again and we will be havin a baptism this weekend if all goes according to plan. My comp and I have been workin very hard and we are gettin along so thats good eh..(; It's good bein a DL but I just like the work as a missionary preparing the meetings and all that ain't my deal but gotta do it and ya gotta do it to perfection. I'm learnin so very much and glad to be here.. We meet new people everyday and sometimes, I wake up askin myself.. "who am I gonna meet today," it's pretty interesting.. This past week I saw a gringo, this dude was taller than a giraffe.. And he was with a girl and they were headed to San Cristobal. That's where all the hippies are seems like but I say it's a cool place here in Chiapas.. Anyway he was form London and his "wifey" is from Argentina.. And they were headed to argentina.. haah Pretty funny when you run into people in the places you do..  But all is well(: I have had a good week and I know that I am receiving help everyday from a strength that is beyond me.. There is also so many things around me that is just another Testimony that God loves his children no matter how wicked and absurd they may be he loves them.. I know that this work is hastening and that these are really the last days.. I know he is happy and pleased with each and every one of us.. 

I have been trying to stay 100% focused and sometimes that is hard, I read in The Book Of Mormon this week a scripture that realated exactly to my situtation.. 
20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a asteadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of bhope, and a clove of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and dendure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eeternal life.

Well I sure hope all is well there with all of you. Soon its gonna be thanksgiving and then we are gonna be talkin through skype again for Christmas.. I will be sendin pics soon! Later today I will.. And if you could send me a email with the amount of money. 

I LOVE YOU ALL WITH ALL MY HEART.. 

Miss you.. have a good week.  

 Be safe. Be good. And Be good at it.
