He cried during the first vision!! 3. Got very confused during 2 Nephi the Isaiah chapters in Spanish (And English :( 4. Sweated so much! 5. ATE ICE CREAM!!!!!  6. Sadness, our baptism dates dropped because of no permission and alcohol. Not very happy. Okay, I was very humbled this week, my area is so poor.

And they still tried to offer  stuff. Another family that are members give us food whenever they can. And they barely have food. I was very humbled.  I am grateful I can shower from a bucket!

Hola mis amigos  Como estan? Hahah ok so the title, so I don't know why but I think God wants me to know every single person here in Mexico. Because I was changed AGAIN!!!! So that means 4 areas in four months haha! but the crazy this is that I am finishing the training of a new missionary, Elder Cao. But our area is called Flor de Mayo which means the flower of May. So many things happened this week, BUT MANY MILAGROS!!!! 1. So the bus ride to my area is 1 hour, I forgot my bag on the bus with all my spanish books, scriptures and my journal for the past 8 months on my mission!!! Thankfully the missionaries in the other area were able to save it! 2. I am again showering from a bucket but now its in a outhouse!!!  Is it weird to say that I kinda love it hahaha, I feel like I am camping every day! 3. In my area we have about 4 youth, but every single one of them love the church and want to serve a mission. One spoke on Sunday and said he is scared to leave but does...

Dustin had really bad internet yesterday and was not able to send much as far as emails.  He did get a couple of pictures out though, so I am just forwarding the pictures, We did talk to him, and he was transferred again and is training a new missionary just for a couple of weeks.  He is still in Comitan, but a different area called Flor de Mayo. His companion is from Guatemala and is 22.  He says that there is a small branch, but the members are awesome and they get fed every meal!  Hopefully he will be able to share more next week.   Thanks for your support!
