Hola mis amigos!!!

So there was only one really big thing that happened this week, WE HAD A BAPTISM!!!!!!! This week,

1. Studied a ton, I am working hard for that goal of reading the whole book of mormon in 6 months, I am hoping for maybe twice. BUT IN SPANISH!!!
2. We traveled a ton because we had to help out some other elders so I wasnt really working in my area for a lot of the time this week!
3. ASHLEY got baptized!!!! We went to a river and had an amazing service, she was super nervous and then she got in the water. when she came out from the water she couldnt stop smiling. She told me she was so happy. SHE IS NOW TEACHING ALL HER FRIENDS. We are going to meet with about 4 of her friends!!
4. Had a great family night!! Shared about the tree of life!!! GO WATCH THE NEW BOOK OF MORMON VIDEOS!!! The are so freaking cool!!!
5. Found out my camera and my usb has a virus, I LOVE MEXICO!!!! So I cant really send a ton of photos. 
Ok so not a lot happened this week, just a great miracle. 

But I was able to study a lot this week. I LOVED MOSIAH 14
3 He is adespised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he has aborne our bgriefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was awounded for our btransgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are chealed.
6 All we, like asheep, have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquities of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he aopened not his mouth; he is brought as a blamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb so he opened not his mouth.
I love this message of Jesus Christ he had so many afflictions, pains and suffering. THEY WERE BECAUSE OF US!!! He suffered because we are imperfect. BUT! He suffered so we don't have to suffer!!! Jesus Christ is our loving savior, never forget that love he has for you! I know I have been that sheep that sometimes goes astray. But I am grateful for the lord and my opportunity to return to him. Love yourself and remember that you can always go back to him, nothing is standing in your way!!!.
Love you all tons,
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...
