Hola mis amigos!!

OK!!! Lots have happened, sorry last week I had to head to Tuxtla for a missionary leadership training. So I didn't have time to send an email. 

BUT!!!!!! YET AGAIN YOUR MISSIONARY HERE WAS TRANSFERRED FOR A THIRD TIME!!!
Yep that's right, I am now in a pueblo called Tuxtla Chico. I am with Elder Palomar, he has 20 months in the mission and is from Puebla Mexico. I have gotten to know my zone very well because I have had 3 areas in less than a month. We have had some problems with some missionaries  so we had to make some changes. But todo esta bien!!

ALSO!!! I officially hit 1 year in the mission! I can´t believe that I have had this opportunity to be a missionary for the last year!! These next 11 months are gonna be so fast so i gotta make the best of them!

Coming back to Tapachula we left Tuxtla at 7 at night, and Tapachula is the longest bus ride, its about 7 hours. So we made it back at 2 in the morning which was not fun! Also my visa expired!! Because my visa is valid for 1 year, so I am technically illegal in Mexico. Also there is lots of immigration stops in Tapachula because we are the border of Mexico and Guatemala. Literally I can walk to Guatemala. 

I have seen so many miracles this week!!! We had two people come up to us saying that they wanted to go to church and have us meet with them!!! Like what!!! Flor and her husband are from Guatemala and he is a member but Flor isn't, they came into town to literally find out what time church started and they just happened to run into us!!!! WHAT A MIRACLE!!! The other is a mototaxi driver and yell as he was driving ELDERS!!! So we stopped and talked to him. ALSO A MIRACLE!!

A lot of other things have happened this week but I don't remember, but the title. We have a guy we are teaching that was a English teacher and his daughter speaks 4 languages. But the guy calls me Hermano Gringo, brother white guy, hahah every single time!!!  

So this week I have seen a lot of power with prayer. I love the passage in Mosiah 24: 9-17 its so inspiring! 
It just shows that god will listen to us. We don't need to kneel down and cry to the skies for him to hear us. Its also good to kneel down and pray formally, but he will listen to us in our hearts! Talk to him like you would talk to your friend your mom or your dad. He loves us and will help us. He wants to helps we just have to ask!

Love you all!

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...
