Hola mis amigos!!

So this week has been a pretty crazy one,

1. I sat on a bus for 12 hours, but I did get to see a lot of missionary friends and see some old members.
2. I got to my new area its called 5 de Febrero or 5 of February, I am in Tapachula, which is the coast so its HOT!!! Its January and I am sweating like did in August during cross country season! 
3. My comp is Elder Gutierrez from Bolivia, he has 15 months in the mission.
4. We basically started from scratch in my area because its a city so there are many people interested! But just with 4 days we have seen lots of miracles!! We had 1 day with no appointments and then we had days that were just filled with them!!
5. I also was asked to be a zone leader here in Tapachula and I am grateful for this opportunity but I am also a little scared jaja. But GOD is here for me.

So this week I have felt like I have gotten into a routine of the missionary life, I don't feel like I have progressing spiritually. So what do we do next? I DONT KNOW!! jajaja I feel like we are all scared to say I dont know. Its ok that you don't know. BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA!! I don't know everything. This is when I am going to put more trust in the Lord and just to find more answers. If you have any advice please send me an email!

Love you all
Elder Cheney

Sorry i dont have more photos.

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...
