February 1, 2021 - The Last One

Hola mis amigos,


Wow I don't even know where to start. Well I come home this Wednesday at 3:45 pm. I will then be released from being a full time missionary. It's weird, I feel like I am suppose to stay here forever. But I know that my time is up and I need to leave. But it's been a week of emotions. Many testimonies, last goodbyes, final studies. I have truly come to love being a missionary even during the hard times. 

This week we accomplished 16 lessons and tried finding even when there was rain nonstop for 3 days and we were in isolation. So basically all the odds were stacked against me in my final week. But I knew God was on my side so I worked as hard as I could, along with repenting when I knew I wasn't working hard. I left it all on the field. 

Thank you to each of you that have supported me on my mission. And also for those you have read my emails I am thankful because honestly sometimes I feel like I'm writing to no one haha! But thank you for praying for me. I have truly felt the help. I have the best friends and family. 

Finally I just want to bear my testimony, that I know God loves you. He so does! We are His children, and he wants what's best for us! He is waiting for us to come find him. I know that my Heavenly Father loves me. I work everyday to come closer to him. He loves us so much that he gave us his son. Jesus Christ. Jesus is my best friend! Without him I don't know where I would be! These 2 years in Mexico and California have been memorable, they have taught me so many things. But I think the biggest thing I have learned is that He is always there for us, God never leaves. He will help you, answer you in his time. I love you all so much! Dios te ama, se que la iglesia de Jesucristo es la iglesia de Dios. Gracias por todo tu ayuda. Voy a verte muy pronto! Les quiero!

Lastly I love my Savior.

Goodbye for now,
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...
