Hola mis amigos!!

This week,
1. Ate fried fish twice and loved it, but my comp hates it. I laughed a little watching him eat it.
2. Met Dari!!! He is a chosen investigator!!! 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. But so humble. every family is fighting for work, because there almost isn't any. But one family told me they are living on 20 pesos for 3 days. Which is a dollar, ONE DOLLAR for a family 5. 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! I am grateful that I sweat more than ever everyday! I am grateful that I can kille bugs in my apartment! I am grateful that I get to wash my clothes by hand, I am grateful that SOY UN MISIONERO DE LA IGLESIA DE JESU CRISTO DE LOS SANTOS DE LOS ULtiMOS DIAS!!! I get to help families find the love of Christ. To my friends and family in the States just be grateful, we all have troubles but there is always someone that is suffering more. I NEED TO BE MORE HUMBLE!!! Everyday we can pray and ask God to help us in our struggles. 

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...
