Elder Cheney Takes on Mexico (and Fresno)

Feliz Navidad!  Sorry not much time this week! But this week was really good! We had a ton of miracles!  We were able to meet with Kat and Neil. We actually gave their baby Ari a baby blessing with our bishop! We then extended a baptismal date and a wedding date. They are now praying to know if this is what they need to do! So please pray for them! We met with a member Sister Flores, we were able to teach her in Spanish. But her son Angel isn't baptized, she wants us to teach him and help him be baptized! We have also been doing the 12 days of Christmas for 4 families in our ward. And we have been dropping off things everyday. But let me tell you this! Some of those little kids just spy like no ones business. I hit the doorbell and booked it and they still opened the door before I got out of sight. It's super fun though! I hope y'all have a Merry Christmas! I love y'all so much! Have a great holiday. Remember the Christmas story and John 8:12, Jesus Christ is the light ...

Hola mis amigos! Hows it been? Haha sorry it's been a while! But for anyone fo you that are still following my mission story I thank you haha! It's been a crazy ride! And it doesnt stop there! So about 2 weeks ago, my comp and I were doing some work on the computers when we got a call from the President. He said he had a new assignment for me. I was like here we go again but I was excited! He told me that I was going to be opening a new area in the north of the mission but while training a new missionary! Who! Is learning spanish but we are assigned to a english area.......  Fast forward..... I picked up Elder Peine who is from Ohio. We had a great training from president, someone handed us some car keys and we got a address and 2 hours later we were at our house. Not knowing anyone, anywhere or anything. But with the grace of God we got to work. We started trying to get to know all the members. We started with the leaders and worked down.  It's been a great couple of weeks...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Hola mis queridos amigos! Oooh boy if you know me you know that I LOVE Christmas! It's the freaking best, best food, decorations, feeling, spirit! And most of all the reason why we celebrate, CHRIST!  These past few weeks have been awesome! Elder Peine and I have just been working super hard to find new people and to meet with the members and to help them. And it's even better during the Christmas season! Last year I missed the lights and weather, but this year I get it all! Yes Dad, I am cold...... even though its California. I am cold.  But anyway, cool story! We are sitting in our apartment, and we were doing companionship study when all of the sudden the missionary version of Santa shows up! The Zone leaders show up with all our packages from home. So it was a happy day! But I also got all our stuff for the 12 days of Christmas we are doing for 4 families in our area. I am just bouncing off the walls with excitement hahaha! N...
