Nov 21

this week was a pretty good week i have been studying the scripture a ton becase theres lots of people who are really bright and lots of times i just make something up that is right but not scripture based and then they bring out the stinkin bible and i just tell them look i know you want to know but have you even prayed? and they say... umm dude i have the bible and i read it.. man it frustrates me the people who just trust in there own knowledge and never really ask god if its right or not.but hey what can you do besides love them.

hopefully this thursday i will be able to have a thanks giving to because man i want my mashed potatos!!!! sister champo always made them for me hahah because she knows that i like it a lot but after i aleft tapachula they havent given me anything close!!! but hey i am not complaining because i get to eat real mexican food everyday!!! whoo. and i have to say without offending its way better the mi amigos even though it is delicious over there nothing compares with the real stuff if you know what i mean.

so we have been invited people like crazy to be baptised right now we have 9 with a baptismal date wich is awesome but the only problem is that no one comes to church!!!! i havent or better said we have not figured out what we are missing because we are teaching good but they just simply dont come and will sometimes it frustrates me to but i know that sometimes we have trials. de hecho i think the thing that we miss are memebers present so that they have friends. so i think that we will be trying to work with them alot more this week and from now on. so keep them in your prayers please there names are gerardo, adrian, carlos, don beto, jaime, mariam, azucena, javier, and enrique we need them to be baptised so that we can put a church in cabeza de toro. thats are main goal right now to establish zion in cabeza de toro. i know its the lords will we just gotta push these mebers a little bit more and we are right on.

ok so thats awesome about justin i havent heard from him for a little while haha i kow that he is recieving lots of blessing and i know what he has done and what he is doing is the right thing i know that the lord blesses us when we do the things the way he has asked because god is a god of orden and he doesnt have a bunch of different ways of doing things he only have one way or you could say one faith one lord and one baptism. i know without a doubt you are all recieveing tone of blessing though your own obediance so i would like to thank you all for being such a great example for me... something really weird sometimes they say... no you can just hear the difference just in his emails how much he has grown and how much he knows and his testimony wow hahha but then i was thinking.. thats the same thing that i am seeing with my own family i am so happy that i have you all so close to me and i have tyhe opportunity to serve my fath in heaven for these to years. i know that well when we want to escape our trials or maybe our sins and so we go somewhere. well i testify to everyone of you that you can never run or hide from them the only way that you can do anything is repenting through the atonement of christ and that there is no other way. so just repent please everyone who has the opportunity to read this and remeber that when you repent.."i the lord remeber it no more" dyc 58:42 thats the only thing that is important in this life if someone is going to judge you dont every worry because the only person that can is jesus because he is the only one who has paid for our sins. and is doesnt matter what you have done it only matters that you are willing to repent.

i love you all have a great thanks givving and well we will be talking on the phone in like a months crazy....
