Hola mis amigos! This what right after new years.


Wow well this year has been a real interesting one now hasn't it. It sure feels like we have been through a couple spin cycles. But we made it right! 

As I have looked back at this year I realize that I have learned and experienced a lot! Let's see the adventures of Elder Cheney this past year!!!

Jan- Continued my streak of being transferred every 2 weeks in Mexico by getting 2 new areas! 
Feb- Heard about Covid and starting hearing rumors
Mar- Got the news I would be sent home
April- got released and spent 6 weeks at home! 
May- I was reassigned to the California Fresno mission! 
June- learned how to a social media missionary as we were stuck in quarantine.
July- Moved to Fresno and met many great people, and Martha got Baptized
August- We began leaving our houses and began visiting people again
September- I was able to serve and help so many people in Vineyards, moves, and yard work
Oct.- We had Axels baptism! 
Nov- I moved to Salida, and started training Elder Peine.
Dec- Spent the holiday season by doing the 12 days of Christmas for some families. Then spent the other part of it running away from kids as they chased us trying to found out who was doing the 12 days of Christmas for them. (Spoiler only 1 family found out). 

It's been a year hasn't it! Haha well it's also been a week! I feel like just some many emotions and feel have gone through all of us. I have struggled, cried, been in pain this year. But I have also laughed (a lot), smiled, jumped for joy, joked, felt Gods love. So it hasn't been too bad of a year.

If this year didn't happen, I wouldn't have met anyone here in my California mission, seen my family for a little, learned so much! 

I hit 1 month from when I go home this week. It's pretty crazy. I am grateful for all those of you who have stayed with me this long. I am excited to see what this next month brings. 

Something funny this week! 
A member had us eat out of pig troughs. Legit. I ate spaghetti and salad out of a trough. It was the best thing ever! I also ate ice cream! The whole family did it! We had food all over out faces!

Also! I got to work with horses this week!!! Super fun!

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...
