The time flies on the misión.
There's always so much to do and so much to improve but I am loving my
time here and learning a lot :)
We had our zone activity this morning and made
jerseys with spray paint and played soccer. It was way fun. I am
starting to get better at it too. Everyone plays soccer here. One of our
investigators came too! He's 17 and had some hard trials in his life.
He's pretty quiet but always willing to listen. He said that he wants the
góspel to be true and he is searching for an answer so we know he will
find it :) I think he really enjoyed getting to play with all the Elders
though!

World cup is huge right now! We planned our baptism
yesterday for the same time Mexico was playing on accident. Not a ton of
the ward stayed... but it still turned out really good and the room was
still full :) Mexico lost 2-1. But everyone still partied. Lots. We
might have found a few people passed out drunk on the streets.

| The streets during the game yesterday! Mexico was playing in the world
cup. Totally empty and silent and then every one cheers and screams at
once. They lost though. |
This week my companion and I really tried to focus
on charity and truly just loving each and everyone of our investigators.
We have a good amount right now and it's hard to know how we can help
each and everyone of them. We have been trying to rely on the Spirit a
lot to tell us what to do and say to help them come unto Christ and
participate in the blessings of the góspel. I feel like all of my
thoughts are centered on them right now and there really isn't time to
think about or focus on anything else. But I hope everything is going
good back home! I will print off your emails and read them soon :)

I was really happy to get grandmas letter this week!
It's always fun getting letters in the mail. Also Happy Birthday to her
today! I hope you have a good one and everyone spoils you good! Actually
would you mind sending me a picture of all my grandparents? I can put
it on my USB drive and print it. I have a good collection of fotos in
the house but don't have any with any of them in it. My companion and I
love telling stories about our families and sharing the things we have
learned from them.

I can't really think of any good stories to tell this
week. We had a pretty crazy experience last night.. but probably better
to wait and tell that one when I get home. Oh we had an awesome zone
conference Friday with President and his wife. It was all focused on The
Book of Mormon and how important it is in our personal conversión
and in converting our investigatores. I am so grateful for the Book of
Mormon in my life and know that it was translated by the power of God. I
am almost finished reading it in Spanish and love that the Spirit can
really speak to us in different ways no matter how many times we reread
it or what language. I know that our Heavenly Father knows and loves us
perfectly and He wants to bless us. Better get going but hope everyone
has a good week!
Con mucho amor,
