well this week we were able to baptize and confirm 2 people. America and Fernando. they are both really excited for their new lives.

Fernando is 18 and is a friend of Alexis, who we baptized in May. we and the ward are gonna try and get them both prepared to go on missions within a year. they are both really good kids who are in the hard stages of their lives, but wanna be better. there are so many drugs and alcohol here in mexico and now they dont wanna be part of that.

America is a wife of a recent convert and we met her like 3 or 4 weeks ago and she was just really ready to receive us and find the restored gospel. shes way cool. this week we are gonna get a couple married and get them baptized on saturday as well.

I like the feeling of being instruments in the Lords hands. its neato!

ill send pics next week of both baptisms. no time today! gotta go! loves.

well hard work is paying off. as always.

yesterday we were able to get a lot of investgators to church and they all liked it! they were fellowshipped really well and they are gonna go to ward activities in the week.

its cool to see peoples reaction when they just experiment a little of the restored gospel. about 99% of the time they love it! im thankful to be a part of it and for this time to help people experiment and experience this mighty change of heart. the holy ghost is a miracle worker. i love it!

saturday we found a family of 5 and they seem really excited! 4 of them went to church and loved it! were hoping things get going with them.

well i dont really have more time.

love you

hola!

this week we had some dificulties in certain aspects, but in others went well. we were able to put more baptismal dates with some people and got some to church, and well people are getting excited to know the truth.

i really dont wanna go too much into details, but the Lord is blessing us. Joaquin. who has a date for the 16th started to hide from us because he doesnt wanna get married because he doesnt like the Law and Govt and stuff like that, but we found him hiding and told him to come out. he felt bad and we had some members at the lesson and he really opened up and now he wants to get baptized more than ever so he said that if he has to get married in order to get baptized he'll do it. his wife also wants to get baptized, but shes in the process of gettting her rest day on sundays.

a wife of a recent convert we found recently moved here and she is really chosen. we taught her like twice and put a baptismal date and she already went to church and liked it a lot. she loves how the fams can be together forever and how she can see her daughter again.

lots of people are ready to get baptized. we just gotta get them to church. i feel guided by the Lord to help these people. i love the work.

hello hello.

well here i am. working with the same. its so cool to see the work flourish and see the promises of the Lord come true. we had to change a lot of baptismal dates that we have because sometimes people dont go to church, but we are praying a lot and are trying to work with them. (any hints would be greatly appreciated.) its also kinda tough because we have almost all families that are super chosen and ready to make covenants, but arent married. nots not really a problem because we can marry them, but some need to get divorced first and others didnt think it was important to be legally married by the law, but we are helping them to understand and its great when the spirit backs us up!

cool story. my first convert that we baptized in this area went to EFY and LOVED it. he also wants to go on a mission.

another cool story. there was an old lady that i taught in one of my last areas, Ixtla, that finally got baptized after listening to the missionaries for like 2 years! her time finally came. and well since i attend in the same chapel i was able to go to her baptism and she was so happy and content and glad i was able to go. she thanked me for helping her and never leaving her. and the truth is that when i was there i thought about it, but i kept going and so did the missionaries that followed me.

love you!

well things are going good! we are getting people prepared for baptism and helping them (along with the Holy Ghost) to understand the restored gospel and become a part of it. the Lord is blessing us a lot and we are ready to see the miracles happen. people are feeling the spirit so strong and we are able to leave them wanting more. transfers are tomorrow but my comp and i dont have transfers. so that means ill probably be here until like October! haha. thats a long time in one area. i got here in may 1st. and who knows. i finish in Nov, maybe ill finsh in this area...

well i gotta go! were gonna have a district pizza party and play Clue. which is totally allowed.

Love you. Love Jesus. Love God. its amazing to feel the spirit and see it work with others to convert them. all we are are instruments in the hands of the Lord.

i love Alma and his testimony here, he glories in his purpose: 9 I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do ^anot ^bglory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy.

well this week was actually really good!

we are finding so many new investigators and me and my comp are really just pushing it to the limit. gotta push it, push it, to the limit, limit.

we are starting to teach really well together. this week we were able to find 10 more new investigators and we set 8 baptismal dates with some of our other investigators. the branch doesnt really help that much, but things really are just getting better and they will just continue to get better! and in time the branch will start to help a litttle with the work. but i can see and feel the Lord working with us. if everything works out right we should baptize this week, next week, the next, and the next.....so far.....

i love my Heavenly Father. He lives. and i know He loves me. He loves every one of His children equally. this is His work and we all need to help and share the gospel with everyone we can. i absolutely LOVE this church, the restored gospel, and especially my Savior, Jesus Christ. with all my heart.

love, elder inglish

well this week was pretty good in some aspects. we were able to set 4 baptismal dates and find 10 new investigators! the Lord is blessing us and we are so grateful.

cool experience: we are teaching this guy joaquin. we found him because we saw his wife and she was carrying some of those big jugs of water, and well we helped her all the way to her house. we set a date with her and we went and just kinda got to know her. the next time we taught her and her husband, and wow, her husband was so ready to hear us. he already believes in the BoM, and he went to church yesterday and in the afternoon we went to his house and he was like, "i have been with so many churches: catholics, cristianos, jehovas witness, evangelists, pentacosts, etc. and today was my first time with the mormons. and i have never felt a spirit so strong. there is something you have that no one else has, and its the truth."

he will be baptized soon. ;)

the Lord prepares people.

g2g!
