Hola mis amigos!!

Ok I am sorry that I really am bad at writing. I could tell you that everyday in quarantine is the best and we get so much done. But really we don't almost everyday is about the same. Haha, here in Reedley we have about 2 families worth of members. And about no one that we are teaching. So it's been really interesting to find new people. It's been kinda hard, but we are still pushing through trying to find those little miracles. 

Well so these past few weeks we have been doing a lot of facebook finding and calling old investigators. BUT we have had a couple really cool things happen. We had a zoom call with elder Klebgnat (really don't know how to spell his name) (Klebingat) he is so cool! And super up front about it! I love it! He said if missionaries aren't working out




they are losers! Haha! Also he went into detail about some doctrinal information. Its was so freaking awesome. 

Yesterday, we got to go eat dinner at a members house! But it happened to be the house of one of my really good friends from college, Annie. That was super awesome! The food was awesome and really cool being able to see a friend on the mission. 

Spanglish is a true language. I have used so much Spanish and english. That's all I have to say. My brain hurts. 

One really cool scripture I wanted to share was alma 7: 11-12: And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.
12 And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

I love this scripture because it truly just shows how much Jesus Christ loves us and how much he understands us. If ya'll don't think he does, he truly does. In these times where there is fighting and cries and plagues many people don't see his hand. Well his hand is in everything. If you don't see it, change something. God expects you to be better, to find your relationship with Jesus Christ. Stop trying to be better than others, listen to the spirit. JESUS CHRIST is the answer. He already suffered for everything so why are we suffering now? Just think about it. 

Love, 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...
