Hola mis amigos!


Hello! Well all I can say is God has a sense of humor because I kept telling everyone that I am staying away from sick people. I am not getting covid before my last 2 weeks. I don't want to be quarantined my last two weeks of my mission. But God had a different idea, cause President told us all the mission is going into quarantine in preparations for transfers. So......... yeah my last 2 weeks I will be sitting in my apartment. Haha oh well we will still be working hard!

But this week we have been just visiting members and saying goodbye cause this will be our last time to see people before I head to Fresno to go home. I end quarantine the day I leave. So it's been sad, crazy that the time has come.

We were able to teach Neil the word of wisdom! He accepted it really well, had some questions about where it says things about coffee and tea. But we explained the importance of prayer and putting our faith in the lord. He is so awesome and getting ready for his baptism in March.

I have also gotten to go on some super cool hikes! Last week in Yosemite and this week on table mountain! California is so freaking awesome!

I have also been studying really hard in the book of Mormon. I studied about the stripling warriors and their story. They are so coo. I keep asking myself if I would have the courage to do what they did. I want to have their faith, their courage, belief in the gospel! I invite you to read this story and see how it can apply to you!

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...
