Pics!





lots of work!

Hey so how's everything going back home? Well down here everything is going great! We have a lot of work going in here and it's keeping us real busy which is good. We have some people that are preparing for baptisms and progressing really good. Last Monday we took a trip up to the zocolo and downtown and did some shopping so it was a good Monday an today we played some soccer and just relaxin cleaning house and washin clothes not as exciting as last Monday but good to relax. So Ray is home now haha that's cool but he's going up to Utah that sucks everyone is up there but it's cool. So changes are coming up and I'll probably get changed but it's all good I like getting to know new areas and new people. So on Sunday we took 3 new people to church it was cool one of them was this Jehovahs witness guy that preaches in parks and in the street haha and we invited him and he was really nice and accepted so he came and said he liked it but I doubt he will come back but it was interesting. Well not much else is going on. Hopefully you guys can figure something our down there haha it's coming up quick. Well that's about it I hope all is going great.
I love you guys

he got the house!

Well the news for this week is WE GOT THE HOUSE!! haha we are super stoked about that and we are planning a BBQ with the other elders at the house. Some good stuff in the plans haha and our new wards are still awsome anything we need they help us get they are amazing well one ward is awsome the other is just good. But the work here is great we are finding and teaching soo many new families not just single people, so instead of 1 we have families of 3-6ish so it's great and it's really what we as missionaries look for is whole families to save so I am loving it. The worst thing so far is we don't have money to buy gas so we will be showering cold for another few weeks, cold showers since early February haha and we shower at night so the sun can heat the water up as much as possible during the day hahaha trust me it makes a difference at least in my mind it does haha. Well the family sounds about the same 3 steps forwards 2 steps backwards just keep pluggin along little by little it will hopefully get better. The house sounds good and all the holes in my room haha ya not fun but it sounds like it's coming along good I'm excited for you guys. What are you gonna do with all the animals when you move? Alright well not much else to talk about. My comp elder decker and I are doing good just living the dream on the mission. I love it!
Well I love you guys and miss you
Mom happy 41st birthday this week hahaha
love,

2 Baptisms this week!

Hey so this week has been awsome!!! We have been doing great we taught some amazing people and we had 2 baptisms on sunday and we might have found the best house EVER! the house is from a member and she just uses it to store some of their junk since they live right down the road so this house just got remodeled and is almost new it has a front and back yard haha very rare in Mexico and inside it's 4 bedrooms and a big bathroom it's got a sweet firepit and grill area on the patio it's awsome now we are just waiting for our president to authorize it so we can move in I really hope we get it haha. So the 2 baptisms were a young girl of 8 and a older man like 55 and this man has like 30 years knowing te church (wife is member) and like 10 years going to church every Sunday but never wanted to get baptized he said it was never the right time. So we didn't really do anything we just talked with him a couple times and on Sunday he came to church like normal and as we were getting the font ready for the little girl he comented to the bishop that "today was the day"! It was awsome all the members were super excited to see this man after 10 years get baptized the stake president came and most of the ward stayed for the baptism it was really neat. Other than that we are teaching some really good families that are progressing really good so ya this new area is going great I'm loving it. So yeah that's the stuff going on down here so the pictures look good I could only open some right now but I'll look at the rest later. I got the package on Friday and we opened it and between me and my comp and montalvo and his comp we ate a bag of M&Ms and a box of good and plentys it was really good haha thanks for everything the shoes work perfect. Well that's all I got for ya today I miss you and love you so much!

21st birthday

Hey fam so yeah this week is still kinda a wierd one still looking for a new house in the new area but we went to our new wards yesterday to meet the members and stuff so it was cool they all seem really good and are really excited to have missionaries back in their wards and both of the ward mission leaders seem good so I'm really excited. Well bein our first day in our new area we had a lot of meeting with the bishops and stuff and not knowing anyone we didn't do anything for my birthday it was just another day. I still haven't gotten the package so who knows how much longer.
So are the Cricks living in our ward now? I think I remember you saying that where are they living at? Haha Justin is back that is soo wierd and Ray gets back in 2 weeks that's cool but yeah most of the missionaries are having trouble with emails because the myldsmail is getting changed so I think I hav a new address for the church site but I haven't really checked on it lately.


so the house sounds like it's coming along good I'm excited to see it. And hopefully grandmas operation goes good, I'm kinda worried but I'll keep her in my prayers.
Well that's about it. Not much else I can think about but I love you guys!
