Hola mis amigos!

How is everyone doing this week? Well this week was fantastic in the central valley, sunny California! This week was a quick one for me.

It started off with the birthday of my favorite person ever! My MOM! Happy birthday!! I am so grateful for all the amazing things she does! I am very lucky to have a mom like her! Y'all wish you had a mom like mine! 

Then we just had a great week full of visiting people and trying to stay busy during these crazy times! Especially when 4 elders in your zone get quarantined because they have covid and then your sister missionaries start getting sick! So my missionaries are dropping like flies, but we are still working hard! 

We have seen some great miracles! 
With Eduardo, we have been teaching him a lot. He told us he wants to have a temple marriage and he is ready to do whatever it takes to have that! He wants his family to be eternal! That was amazing! He also came to church yesterday. Did I mention that the church finally opened!?! Yeah it's open!! Eduardo is progressing!

The Reyas family is doing well! We are challenging them to continue working one plan as a family, to pray, study and learn together as a family. They have many challenges in front of them to get to that end goal of being a eternal family but they are strong!

We also found Marcos this week! He is living in the house where a member use to live. So we went looking for this member but found him instead. When we mentioned coming to visit him this week, he said I actually have the week off work so this week is perfect come on by!! He was super open so we are excited for that!

We also had a ward talent show on zoom! Us 6 missionaries did a rendition of the primary song hello! And then we did a dance! It was super awesome. Our assistants walked in right as we finished and wanted an encore! It was super fun!

I just want to mention how great it was going back to church! The last time I went to church it was in Tuxtla Chico Mexico. I was sweating as I walked outside and I was around all my Mexican friends, 8 months later I am in a church in Fresno with all my favorite Hispanic friends and wearing a suit because it's cold outside! I loved it! The church is true. It's the same in every part of the world. I was happy! I felt good! I felt like I was home! Go to church everyone!

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...
