 Lets Goooooo!

Hola mis amigos,

Ok so this week honestly was kind of just like a normal week. We contacted a lot of people and just talked a lot to people. I am trying to learn my area as fast as possible. Its super hard because my area is massive, we combined two areas into one and that makes my area of Junchavin. 

But it means that there is so much potential. But we are working slowly but surely. I am now the senior companion, which means I have the responsibility of the area and to make sure that we are doing what we need to be doing. But I also found out that I am going to be district leader, which means I am the leader of about 4 different areas. Hahah I am a little stressed but I am also so ready to help the people of my district. 

We had a baptism of Jose this week. He was the last member of his family to be baptized but he was so happy to be baptized and it was so amazing!! I was able to share a short talk about the importance of the holy ghost!!

But this week there was a lot of thinking on my part, being in a new area and new comp and learning to be a leader. So I turned to the book of Mormon. I read in 1 Nephi 7:8-12, but here Nephi was just a beast! He showed up his older brothers just by questioning them why they have lost their faith and why they are the way they are. I love this!! But they forgot their faith even though they saw an angel!!!! We lose our faith too, but we can repent and become clean again. I invite you all to read this section because honestly it was so amazing for me. WE CAN BECOME BETTER!!!

Se que este iglesia es verdadera, I know this church is true. I am proud to be a missionary of this church even though it is hard sometimes. Jesus Christ's life wasn't easy, so that means this won't be easy either. But I HAVE FAITH IN MY SAVIOR!!!

Love you all
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...
