Hola Mis Amigos!!!

These past two weeks have been literally insane and so spiritually empowering!!!

1. Nefi and victor were baptized! I had the opportunity to come back and baptism them! After victor was baptized he said he feels warm and calm!! I love the spirit!! Also victor was baptized on my birthday, so my next birthday we will be going to the temple for him to be sealed to his family for ever!!! Nefi was also baptized on his birthday, the day after mine! He is so awesome!

2. We had two baptisms here in malpaso, Jovita and Maruca!!

3. We used goldfish for the sacrament of 10 people because we forgot the bread at a member's house. It was all I had.  I thought that was really funny.

4. I ate hamburgers, fried fish, donuts, oreos, sprite, pop tarts and goldfish for my birthday. I was very happy. 

5. Realized how much I love Mexico and love being a missionary here. 

6. A member and I were talking about how sometimes we need to change our visions. Like we sometimes only realize the negative things in our lives but we need to realizes the good things and the things God has given us!!!!

7. The Jungle is beautiful!!!!

I am sorry don't have a ton of time! But i love you all and i will write more next time but Know that God loves you!!!!!

Dustin's new apartment, they have no furniture because it is a new area. Someone gave them hammocks to use for now.

They do the baptisms in the river

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...
