Hola Mis Amigos!!

How are yall doing! 

This week was a missionary filled week! 

We have been teaching a good amount of people. And its amazing!!!! I love being a missionary!

This week-
1. We taught Patricia, she is a 28 year mom. She loves the church. She reads all our pamphlets and the chapters we give her in the book of mormon! She is amazing!! She is amazing!
2. A 2 year old almost peed on me. Here mexicans are not scared of their bodies. Haha. So we were in a lesson and their nephew comes over and just whips it out and starts peeing hahaha. I just couldnt stop laughing!
3. A dog followed us for two cities of walking! About 2 miles! 1 dog! There are hundreds of dogs here. but this one dog followed us. we named her Amber, I tried giving her a book of mormon. Haha
4. A member gave us hot dogs this week and I legit almost cried. And I ate 4 hot dogs even though we had two lunch appointments that day.
5. Mission goal this month is over 300 hundred baptisms. So please pray for us and these amazing people of Tuxtla. I have learned that these people are so humbled and so prepared for the gospel. Tengo FE!!!!!! 

Also we had a multizone conference with our mission president and a guy from the missionary department. There were 3 zones, all of the zones from the city of Tuxtla. they talked about what our purpose it, which is to baptize. But to baptize through the sprit of God by preaching the gospel. NOT TEACHING. We are not here to teach, we are here to preach. We are missionaries and called of God. 

One scripture that I really liked this week was Alma 56:45-48. I dont have it in english, but i am a missionary so i invite you all to read this. But it is about the striplings warriors. And even though they are young they had strength and had faith in God. And as missionaries and members we need this faith too. We are fighting to the death but we are fighting to save our brothers and sisters! Also it had a verse about listening to your mom. So mom I apologize that I didn't listen to you sometimes! YOU'RE THE BEST!!!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO MY DAD AND GRANDPAS!!!!
I miss my dad a ton he is truly my best friend. Being the last kid at home for three years i grew really close to my parents. So I am just truly grateful for my dad and mom. Dad I miss you and i love you! I am truly grateful for the help and love you give me. Also i love my grandpas!! One who helped choose my mission from the other side of the veil! Then grandpa Cheney who I and grateful for the opportunity to be the only 2 Elder Cheneys from our family at the same time! I am ready to follow your footsteps as you serve the church also grandpa!!

Love you all! Tengan milagros y disfruten esta semana!

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...
