oh yeah!!! juan is a teacher whooohoooo hahaha he got his aaronic priesthood on sunday super awesome and i am so pumped for him. but he is really confused in what it means haha he asked me if he can give blessings hahaa but today we are going to teach him.

i did recieve all my goodies and my blanket and all my shirts that i will probably give them all away here in tapachula haaha maybe we will see i hope not.but we will see i am definately going to need more hold to the rods hahaha thats for sure ahaha.and unfortunately for some reason my pictures in my camera are erased i am pretty sad about that because i had some sweet ones but luckily i send the good ones to you guys so please print them and save them hahaha.

ido have to tell you though my adve tures with these naed kids continue well in that colony where juan lives hahaha. its very hard to teach maria the truth. we taught her chastity and word of wisdom and were like ok well ther e are 5 things that we cants partake and another 3 things for chastity well that ws like aweek ago and we are teaching repentance and were like ok there 5 things that we have to do to repent. number one and i used my hands again hahha first we understand what we have done and that we have sined so this is called realization en español reconocer haha and then the second thing ok we have to stop sinned and drp the sin that we have and get rid of the bad things thats called let go or dejar haha ok maria what is the first step to to repentence. she says we cant drink alcohol we cant go with other men and we cant smoke and drink coffee or tea or drugs and we have to talk good and think good. hahaha good hermana thats the law of chastity and word of wisdom but for repentance the first thing is then somebo dy helpd her. then i said ok maria the 2 step is??? no alcohol ...... hhha again haha its really fun and excited but she has in her mind that the fingers mean chastity and word of wisdom haha which is good but she isnt under standing wvery fast haha but i love it.

but on a more serious not..repentence is a blessing that we have from jesus so that we get rid of our sins. and the truth is that we have to repent everyday so the satan cant trick us so easy and can drag us down. the other d ay alma said that some lady in her old church i guess is some kind of profet said that she has demonds following her and are with her. she started crying and then she talked to us about it. and this is what i told her kind of laughing. i said ok hermana are you ready to hear the truth? she said ok tell me. i said elder waldron and i have lots of demons with us and so do you all the leaders of the church have demons following them and tracking thm all the way up to the prophet and she was like what you mean to tell me that i have demons?!! nearly cried and i saidyes hermana you have demons and so do i but where is your heart? she said well with our lord jesus christ. i said exactly and there re demons with us because satan is trying to drag us down and blind us so that we fall.he said his angels to us so that we fall and trick us and theres nothing that we can do about it.but when our heart is in the write place nothing can happen. my comp once tod me some drem tht somebody had. there was a man standing with jesus or someboady like him maybe an angel and they saw 2 men in the distance. and he lifted the vale and said what do you see. the man said well the one man has like 2 demons flying around him and the other has liek 20 circling him. the angel said. and who do you think is the most rightous the man says well the man with 2 angels because he doesnt have any demons a round him. the angels says well your wrong the man with 20 demons around him is the prophet....well why would the prophet have 20 or more demons around him. well i think and believe its because that satan has to try his hardest to make the righteous fall and the sinners well yea they are fallen and easy to trick and drag around. how true is that in our lifes, remeber tht satan is with everyone of you and he is trying his hardest to drag us down and take away what we have i love you all i ask you all to repent everynight and study your scriptures and learn how to win. thank for my birthday email nd thank you for your love that you always give me.
