2 Weeks Me Queda‏.... June 9, 2014

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmyello..

How fast is the time goin? Faster than a squirrel runnin up a maple tree in vermont. Thats how fast.. Holy tummy tuck.. I am so very glad for this time I have been given to be a missionary, I truly have learned so much.. And I am ready to see you all and ready to get home and start up the next mission.. I hope you are all great and smiling like horses.. I am, even tho I am fried, frito.. (sun burned) =) THis week was a good one.. We had two baptisms.. And they were two people that we found this transfer.. 2 Children of God that are way awesome!! Yuri is the girls and Arturo is the man boy. He is 13 but he is a big fellar.. It was awesome to help them and grow to love them and I know have 2 good friends..

I just wanna thank you all for your love and support.. You are what I am looking forward to see and You are all what give me strength to smile and to endure and fight..

I have learned so much and one thing that I learn more about with every week is, The Atonement of Jesus Christ... I know I can become a better me through it and the holy power it holds, I know he loves me.. I am grateful for my Savior.. I honor and love him. I am blessed for all of you and for the amazing life I have been blessed with..

2 weeks until I am right back to it.. hahahha WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO yessir..

I LOVE YOU ALL!

 My Dear Family and Friends(: 

Hopefully this letter finds you all happy and loving life as it comes.. I sure do miss you all and love you and more than anything cannot wait to be seeing you.. It will sure be one amazing day to be reunited.. I am counting down the days until I can see you all.. And I know that you are all doing the same.. 

It was really crazy yesterday during testimony meeting when I was giving my testimony I realized it was my last fast testimony in the mission.. Haha as I stood up in front of everyone my flippin emotions got the best of me, and I was teary eyed the whole time.. I didn't cry! It was a really cool day and I am glad to be where I am at.. Everyone has been asking me if I am sad about going home and I kinda laugh like they are crazy haha.. I just tell them that my time has come to finish this mission, and start a new one haah.. I am beyond stoked to be with you all once again.. I tell everyone that I am excited to kiss girls again and they laugh, but I am serious.. (: But well all goes well here and I am just loving every single minute that goes by. YOKO. Hahah.. 

Ah man.. This week.. Hahah we went and did cement work at 7 in the morning until like 12 haha I know that's nothing dad, but good grief that work kicks your butt.. but it turned out way good.. And I was laughing at my comp cause I am pretty sure it was the first blister he had in his life haha he was telling everyone he couldn't shake their hands cause he was hurt ha was laughing so hard.. But yeah it was an awesome week FULL of service I loved it.. 

Well I am doing fine.. And all goes well.. Ha aha... Just cant wait to see you all.. 

Have a good week and I will be talkin to you soon! 

Gettin weird with the quotes of the week..

Nuestro Ejemplo Perfecto‏.... May 26, 2014

HELLO! Well another week is in the books just doin work and its crazy how fat 2 weeks have gone by since I've been here.. Hahah I have 2 weeks in this area.. Blows my mind.. All goes very very well.. We have been finding new people to teach been doing a ton of service I think more than I have done in any other area in my whole mission.. I know that this transfer will be a very special one, cause it has been so far off.. #Pure.Imagination. #Willy.Wonka.. Hahah cant wait to watch that.  

This week I was amazed at how much I learned, more than anything how much I felt.. I'm truly exhausted physically and spiritually. hahah.. Its crazy.. I know with every beat of my heart that Jesus is the Christ, he is perfect.. He died, and he conquered death and rose again the third day.. He has a perfect and glorified body of flesh and bones.. I know he loves me even tho I am far from being what he wants me to be.. And above all I know that HE LIVES. 

Very grateful for these last few weeks.. Learning and loving it all.. Cant wait to be seeing you all so soon.. Gonna be one great day. Hahah only 4 more Sundays separate us from the old Airport.. 

Well I hope that you can all have a great week and remember I love you and just be happy!!

"But behold, the Lord hath redeemed my soul from hell; I have beheld his glory, and I am encircled about eternally in the arms of his love" (2 Nephi 1:15). And the Lord hath said, "Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me"(D&C 88:63). "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?... Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loves us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord"(Romans 8:35,37-39). For the Lord hath said to us, "I will not forget thee... For behold, I have graven thee upon the  palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me"(1 Nephi 21:15&16). Nothing can separate us from the redeeming and eternal love of Christ, except for our own decisions to leave his arms. But he will never forget us, no matter what! And we have his promise that if we draw near unto him he will draw near unto us. He loves each of us more than we can comprehend.

Deja Vu Gettin Weird..‏ May 15, 2014

Good morning to you all!;) 

Its a overcast cool day here in in the capital of Chiapas.. The crazy city is taking some gettin used to again.. hahah And a crazy city in México at that.. :) It was a fast week full of a lil bit of everything.. I guess I will start off by sayin I had a great birthday! I ate like 5 cakes this past week.. Haha it has been cool walkin the same streets and seeing some of the same people I knew when I started about 2 años ago.. Been really cool.. I have seen alot of people that remember seeing me and its been honestly way cool.. Just gonna love these next 5 weeks i have left.. I cant believe thats all i have left hahah...

Well honestly just grateful for all that's going on.. This past week we also had a conference with Elder Johnson the seventy and he asked us a question.. He said.. "How many of you believe that before the end of the day, you can find a chosen son of god.." The conference was about faith, and the importance it really has in missionary work.. Well that night me and my companion found a kid his name is Carlos Arturo.. And he is our chosen one ha ha.. It was way cool to see what we can do with our faith.. He was way stoked to be able to talk to us.. He told us that he was always waiting feel the way he felt when we talked to him.. I couldn't believe what i was hearing....I was way emotional.. And it was seriously a very strong spirit that was felt with him.. And he has a Iphone so we get weird.. He went with us to church yesterday and was just way happy and chill.. Pretty cool.. 

My companion is a good kid.. Elder Lemus He is from Mexico City, He has 8 months in the mission.. And I get along with him really well.. He is really humble so that helps me be humble to haha All goes well and we are just gonna keep doin work.. I'm hopin I dont get to trunky.. hahah.. 

Well I am really grateful for all of oyu and your support.. I am sure it is really stratin to warm up there.. You cant imagine how excited I am to be comin home to you all and to summer and all the good stuff that I have missed o so much.. ;) We bout to just go head and #GET.WEIRD...........
