Hola Mis amigos!!!

So this week was transfer week and guess what y'all, I got hit again with the changes hahaha. But I am staying really close only the city of my zone. its in Comitan, and it's an area called Juchavin. So I don't have a ton of time this week!

1. We had two baptisms this week, Berta Alicica and Carlos. But we had them in a different location and we got into a back of a pick up and drove 40 minutes for the place. But it started downing pouring with rain. We got there but cold and wet. But this family still had huge smiles on their faces!!!! They are great!!
2. President Doman had his family in town for a weekend. So they went to some waterfalls and went swimming. But he jumped into a waterfall and got sucked under for 5 minutes and he came up dead!!! No pulse and not breathing. But his son in law is medically trained so he revived him!!! But my president was dead for about 5 minutes. Crazy!
3. We found the son of a member and his family. They are Eli and Carolina and their son Bryan. WE HAVE A BAPTISM DATE WITH THEM!!! They are so ready for the gospel! They love meeting with us!! They just need to get married. I have become a wedding planner while being here in Mexico because no one is married!! But It just makes it interesting!
4. The church had a going away party for me, even though I was just in the area for 1 month. They are the kindest people I have ever met!
5. We had a great zone meeting we saw a video of how the atonement is related to missionary work. Every missionary had tears in their eyes. I LOVE THE ATONEMENT AND JESUS CHRIST!!!

Well I love you all, I encourage you all to find your favorite scripture and study it in depth. 

Love 
Elder Cheney

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...
