i was totally gonna send pics today! too bad i forgot my camera... :( i guess youll have to wait till next week...

what a great general conference, right?! it was way spiritual and i loved it. pretty cool about the prophet's call to younger missionaries! and i agree with him, i think its better! 

the work is progressing here in Xochimilco. its a really beautiful place. sometimes its hard because there are a lot of customs here and the people don't wanna change. but when we bring the spirit the people can start to feel that special feeling and they wanna know more! we are teaching 2 brothers that are really cool. they also speak inglish, so after we teach them we talk a little in inglish to help them practice. they believe in the BoM and the Restoration, but their dad is of another church and so they are scared of what hell say. we invited them to be baptized and they said yes so we are preparing them. and there are a handful of others that have dates and that are progressing a lot. its such a cool work the missionary work. it is unique. there is nothing more special. love you!

this  week was ward conference! it was pretty cool! some investigators were able to come and they liked it. the stake presidency came and talked and the classes were pretty well taught as well. we are helping lots of people obtain more faith in Christ and in God and well we are seeing results. there is a mom that wants to be baptized now and also her daughter. and well they had some problems with believing in God. her son died like 2 years ago and she was really mad that even though she prayed and prayed, he still died. but little by little she is recuperating that faith and she has decided she wants to be baptized. but she just needs to get married first. then she will get baptized. and her daughter too. she is like 33. shes cool too. i know i probably haven't experienced anything too hard in my life so i don't know what it would be like, but i could never deny the love of my Heavenly Father. He has given me everything  my family, friends, life, the mission, and the list goes on. i love Him and His son. and i know they love me. i'm grateful to live in such a time when the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored. what a blessing it truly is. lets take advantage of it and share it. love you!

im going to a place called Xochimilco. cool name huh.. i actually always wanted to go there. its really pretty...so ive heard. my friend over there said its like a forest haha. and i guess theres kinda like pueblos over there... really poor people, but theres also like areas with rich people. a lil of everything...

so ya the new elders that come over here should baptize a lot... if they dont get lost. im kinda nervous because theres a lot of good investis and i dont want them to get lost. its okay, everything happens for a reason. the Lord will bless them. im sending pics today, hopefully yall like em. 

by the way, my bday is tomorrow (4 de septiembre). just so yall know.... hehe. 

so its been cool working with such great people and helping them get converted. we married Joaquin and his wife Ofelia and they should get baptized on saturday. they have had some tough times with their conversion and all, but they are so converted and wanna get baptized and make this sacred covenant with God. he is so powerful. i think he will have a calling soon after he gets baptized. we were gonna baptize him this saturday the 1st, but he needs a special interview with the pres. 

the other day we had a ward activity and a mom and her daughter liked it do much and they were like, so when is my baptismal date? haha so we put a date with Grisel, her daughter Mirna, and the grandma Antonia. its cool, the work of the Lord... :)

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.
