Hola Mis Amigos!

This week has been full of ups and downs.

First Antonia scheduled to be baptized this week!!! We are so excited for her. We have taught her everything so now we are just reviewing and explaining more in depth. She has so many questions and desires to know everything! She is so amazing!

Our other investigators are progressing but not keeping their commitments for church. Alejandra and Diego I can tell want it but their lives are super busy with work and family. But I can tell once we just get them to come or really let them feel the spirit they will fully accept the church. 

Bryan is the brother of one of our recent converts. He has come to church twice and says he wants to be baptized! So that is amazing! Bryan is so fun he is like a little brother! Haha I don't know what the experience is like so its fun learning. Also sorry to my older siblings for all the times that I was annoying! Because man sometimes little kids hahahahaa. Also let's see if my older siblings read this to see the apology. But Bryan is so funny he laughs at everything. Sometimes he doesn't understand my spanish so he just sits there and laughs. Its so funny!

I am a barber now. So with Juli our recent convert, she doesn't have a lot of money so she cuts her own kid's hair. We visited her when she was about to do it. So she handed the safety sissors to me and said you can do it. So I cut a 3 year olds hair. I have a picture and he looks really mad, bored, and all the above so, yeah haha. 

Also I found my favorite guy here. I don't know his name but he is old and amazing. Because he sells shaved ice on a little Nacho Libre Bike. When I am walking through the streets and sweating and I see him I praise God for the miracle he has given me! His shaved ice is so good! It also has real fruit!

This week for something spiritual I just want to say God does love you. Before my mission I thought He loved me. But being here I learned that He truly loves every person. If you don't feel it, ask through faith and prayer. ALWAYS PRAY!!! God commands us to pray, so pray. He will answer  your prays through his love for you. Always remember God loves you.

Love you all,
Elder Cheney

So this is angel the little boy we cut his hair, he really doesnt look happy. Oh his mom also had to fix a few spots....

Hola Mis Amigos!!! Well this week was 100% better this week! We had so many miracles and it just makes me so thankful for Heavenly father and the blessings that he gives us!!! So we had a baptism this week! Hermano Manuel, he came to church about 4 times and he never had time to meet with us. But one time we met with him right after church and for a straight hour and a half he just talked. We didnt say anything. So that was fun haha! But then this tuesday we were trying to get in contact with him because we hadn't talked to him for a week, but his phone is really bad and he had work we thought. But he answered us!! He wanted to meet that night, but!!!!!!! We were walking through the park in our area and he walked right past us!!! He was looking for a job because he lost his, which was good and bad.......But we talked to him then and asked him if he wanted to be baptized in 5 days. HE SAID YES!!!!! So I had the opportunity to then baptize him this saturday. Then at his b...

  Soy comida para niños Hola Mis Amigos! Sorry for not emailing this past week! But honestly its been just a normal week of missionary work. So in my area we received a new set of missionaries! So Tuxtla Chico now has Elders and Sisters!!! So we spent some time looking for a house for the sisters and then spent some time moving them in, moving a full on fridge up a tiny stairwell is not the funnest thing. But I am now prepared to go back home and help the elders quorum.  This week we have been working really hard to find new people and also keep teaching, 1. ANA- SHE IS THE BEST!! She has been one of the best investigators that I have ever had. She has read the Book of Mormon until Alma, prayed for answers and received them! Then she has come to church like for two months!!! BUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, is scared to be baptized. She wants to be more than sure. So we are helping her with that. Pray for her. 2. BRYAN (CHINO)- He is a 10 year old, a...
