More Pictures!

Sorry i had to take pictures of the pictures again! Sometimes when he puts pictures in his email they won't decode and let us print them or post them on blogger. Enjoy them anyway!

crazy week we had a good time we learned a lot about our area that it is reall actually huge there is a lil city about 30 minutes away from our house and the members let us know that it is our area and so we decided to get to know what its all about. we also found out there are some waterfalls over there and we really wanted to see them so here is a picture it was really fun actually we were walking and there was a group of people standing around this younge man and he had sprained his ankle so we offered to help him out. me and elder reyes caried him down this mountain to his aunts house well reall i helped for like 10 minutes and then elder reyes took over and put him on his back so i helped this kids mom carry there vegatables down to the house. then we sat down and talked with them a lil bit and told them that we are headed to the waterfall to see what its like and this old guy wanted to go with us with these 2 kids i swear this guy has to be like 70 and he was like running and jumping over rocks his name is fransisco hahaha he is my new friend the only problem is they live very far away but i took a lot of videos of this trip so i dont have to many pictures but i will do some cuts out of the video so you can see my friend hahahaha

later well actually earlier this week we finally go someone who wanted some help with some service. basically we went to find firewood hahahaha there are tons of trees that have dead branches so what they do is they climb the tree with there machette i think thats how you spell it hahaha therre sword and the hack away at the tree then the branch falls to the ground and the poeple on the ground have swords and they cut it up hahaha its called leña and we did that fot the whole morning oh and at the end we get rope and tie it all together and carry it on our shoulders hahaha there is culture about this whole carring thing hahaha women always carry practically everything on there head and men carry it on there shoulder. i have pictures of my comp and of the people we were helping but not of me hahahaha but it was really fun they were all making fun of me because i have never done this whole machette thing instead of a axe but hey i had a good time in little while i think that we are going to go again but down by the river i am pretty stoked hahaha

me and my companion had a weird experience with a investigator whol started off looking like a chosed investigator who is ready but really this guy is confused a lot. he is catholic which is a problem because of the things i have learned about the catholic church which is pretty crazy but anyways we were talking to him and started with the law of chastity and why it was in important but i gave him an example that if he was with his daughter and was walking and he passed a group of younge men and they started wistling at her how would he feel? and he understood very clearly why and told us he would keep this commandment. he is a good guy but then we got on this topic of the of the prophet and he has a big doubt that we have a prophet and we started to explain and i told him a few things here and there. then i told him that he doesnt have the gift of the holy ghost and he got offended and started laughing but he had changed and it wasnt our investigator he was completely different. he said houston houston houston you cant tell me i dont have the spirit shaking his head and then like licked his lips he had his eyes closed and said i will show you and idk was like meditating or something and then opened his eyes and told me never mind. elder reyes asked what he wants to show us cause we want to know and see. he told us that he was going to show us that the prophet doesnt have the spirit and is a false prophet but right now he couldnt idk it wasnt normal it was more like satan or one of his angels had takin over his body and idk his eyes and his whole atitude was just like satan would be or an angel you could see it in his eyes. after we had left i was talking to elder reyes and he said he felt bad and i said i fell the saim like idk i felt bad as if satan was there but at the same time i felt like our heavenly father was watching over us and was with us to help.

how do we apply this story to our life? well i dont know really i am putting all this together right now.. what i can say is that satan is real he is out there with all his angels to try and destroy us to try and destroy our hope our happiness and our faith that the lord is with us and that we have future with him in his presence.when the times are bad the lord waits for us to humble ourselves before him so that we may ask for help and bless us with the things that we need. what does it mean to be humble? it means that we should be ready to follow all the commandments of god. it means we are obediant. in mosiah 2:41 it says when we keep the commandments of the lord we will be blessed spiritually and temporaly and that we will live in a state of never ending happiness. in the times of trial in the times of hurt the lord is near everyone one of us just like it says in acts the scripture on my plack. he will not leave us alone in the would and as embers we have the gift of the holy ghost to guide us. the thing i would say is to apply that in our lives every day from the time we wake up to the time we go to sleep everyday. the spirit does not only guide us in the church to give talks to give lessons he guides us in all our work our family our fun remeber that.

this week the focus was a lot on repentence in how impotant it is to repent every day of the things we do. the wife of elder de hoyos something like that he is in the 70 she told us do not sleep or end your prayers at night until you have felt forgiven for your sins. the other night i was thinking of that you could be on your knees all night for hours!!!! but really its that worth it enos was on his knees for a whole day because its that important to recieve forgiveness of our sinces the lord is ready to forgive us but only when we put our part remeber that remeber and think what more you can to to live your life clean and ready to go i love you all have a good week and repent

Email of the Week

ok so the naked kids honestly dont stop i hate it we are just walking down the river contacting and working like good missionaries do and these naked kids just run around then see to guys in white shirts and tie and what do they do? do you know..... they definately didnt ask for candy they flipped us off hahaha so funny to be honest but its just like what the heck for one where are your pants 2 why are you flipping me off i put my tounge at them hahaha

ok foot drama i think that i am fine now hahaha what had happened is my 4 little toes and all the bones have been scrunched together a little bit and they are pinching a nerve which is my pain because it has been swollen for like 4 months yes i know its a miracle and there are no fractures which is awesome. but on the other hand theres a downfall yes i know theres always a downfall yes i know i know.... i had to get 2 shots!!!!!!! yes i know and even worse in the butt!!!! really was not happy about that but my neighbor is awesome and helped me out hahaha and i am also taking some pills the swelling has gone down and i can continue with my mission hahaha
my package goodness gracious hahahaha dad has the adress to the members home we were trying to track the package to get it sent and on the trascking number i am missing 2 numbers so i couldnt do anything send it to the member i will be here for another 6 weeks so no worries i am still with the same companion so everything is good and when you send it let me know the information like the numbers for here in mexico so the sister can track it for me and know when its going to arrive dont send it to the office or i will never get it hahah
we are going to have a baptism this friday with a mom and her son. i think we both will be baptising her because she is a lil over weight and has a bad knee but i am still not sure to be honest the son is talking to us right now hahaha we found some chosen investigators they showed up to the church and we didnt even know until after sacrament so i went and sat with them and they brought there kids and they were fighting so i started drawing flowers for them hahaha well i drew 3 one for each lil girl and what did they do? hahaha they were happy but then started fight over the flowers hahaha they seemed to enjoy they time in the church they are very hard to find through the week so we are going to find them saturday i believe.
other then that it has been a pretty good week i enjoy hearing your stories spanish is better haha but the heat is continuing they say that in march its like death so i am pumped for that i feel like i will be here for awhile but i dont know i hope i am here for awhile i really like it here but at least i have 6 more weeks. we are finally getting the members working. but still we lack a lot and there are a lot f things that i see that i hate haha but hey what can i do nothing but tell thm to repent haha
so the other day we were walking and i saw this man crawling on the ground across the street and we had asked a member whats wrong with him they only said that he was sick. more then likely he is a alcoholic that lost everything and lost the ability to use his legs. i was thinking if jesus was here what would he do. well jesus would walk to him and heal him. i was thinking as a elder and a representative of jesus christ i could do that same thing. well all who hold the priesthood can do that. but at the same time i was scared that maybe it wouldnt work. my faith had fallen through. the same thing happened when peter walked on water he had jesus christ in his eyes to do the same thing but when he looked around he was unbelieving and started to fall. then i was thinking all of us are capable to do the things like that but when we fault our faith we have nothing. how do we get to this point in our life where we are able to do those things? well nephi is an example my companion was tell me this last night . god gave nephi the power to do anything that he wanted to do. why was he given the power well right now i am still studying that. but it starts with very basic steps. prayer is number one we always are praying with all our heart and we are praying so that we may help other people as did lehi in nephi 1.5 i believe the later he says to keep the commandments. thats what nephi did he kept all the commandments and when the lord had asked him to do something he never hesitated and when he doubted such as when he was commanded to kill laban he prayed and pondered he was so righteous that god gave him the power to do what he wanted only because he was obidient. how many times in our lives are we more focused on the world then on god when god can give us everything that we want and the world gives us nothing we gain nothing from the world in all cases. i am still pondering on this topic but think in your own life how many timnes are we more worried about worldly things when this world means nothing because we are going to have something greater in the furtue? thats the question of the week.
oh one other thing i finished the book of mormon whoo hoo and its true i can tell you that hahahaa good to know i now but i dont knw who recieves my letters but everyone who does i challenge you to start the book of mormon and apply it to your life because its going to guide you in all directions that you could possibly need.

i love you all

elder houston

Sorry i had to take a picture of the picture because it wouldn't let me download it on blogger.

ok not a lot happening this week but some importyant things.... dont chew me out either i have good reason hahaha.... so when i was in ogden i was playing i guess you could say basketball but its not basket balll and i jumped up to block another elder but when i fell i fell bad on my foot my left foot and i felt like my pinky toe and the whole bone pop and go on top of the other bone a few steps later it popped back i couldnt walk very well for about 5-6 weeks and then i found that guy that had been helping me and he fixed my foot well enough to walk but it still hurt... well now its really effecting me hahahaa and in the mornings i cant walk. and no its not because i walk all day either hahah the muscle in my left foot underneath is double the size of my right foot and it really hurts haha not very funny but every morning i massage the pain out and then go to work and the next day it hurts again the same i have tried various things to help but nothing is working right now i am going to try a few more different ideas and i am going to a guy a member knows that says that he can help me haha if that doesnt work i am going to a doctor just for information.


the problem is that if i have to have sergery i have to go home to do the sergery more then likely. and the next problem is if i need sergery i cannot return to mexico and thats not ok with me. so if all goes bad and they say i need sergery i am not going to have sergery haha i will finish my mission first and hope for the best i am only worried about it. my neighbor has this magic cream oil stuff that helped we a ton last night and she is going to try to find more of that stuff haha its only made here in mexico and its awesome haha but i will keep you posted.

other then that lets see i let my comp be senior companion for a week right now he is still senior hahaa we were having some problems but yea now there gone and we are really happy haha he told me that i was boring and to strict hahaha and that threw me for a loop and then the words of my little brother came into my mind in a letter he wrote me that if i change and come home different that he is goingt o kill me hashaha so we have been having some fun this week and things are a lot better the other day we went on an adventure that was seriosly so fun you guys are goingt o love the video haha seriously here is so sweet we have this river and people live like on the river but they are really poor theres one lady that we contacted that here child was murdered at 9 years old very very sad and she is also a alcoholic she beat her husband with something we met him the other day and he has a huge cut over his left eye brow from where we believe she hit him and has problems with he leg he was walking up these stairs and he fell and started sliding down this mountain haha i will take a picture so you can understand what i am talking about we ran over and helped him up and off the mountain and helped him walk up the stairs and to a combi.. really sad this man doesnt really know what to do . also something that is just rediculous these kids just run around naked all the time like whoa child wheres your mom put some clothes on but no one really cares haha

this next monday is transfers i dont think i am going anywhere but my companion maybe because he has been here for 3 months haaha but we will see. the twenty ninth we have a baptism of a lady and her child and the following week we have another baptism well we hope haha we were in a lesson and i asked the lady here name is teresa if she would like to have trhe spirit in here life to guide her through everything that will pass and she said yes and when i said what do you need to do she told me she needs to be baptised and then the subject changed and we didnt puit a date but this week we plan on putting a date.

today i am going to start something that i hope i am able to do hahaa but i cant say because its a suprise i hope to have it done and sent home before christmas hahaha i know at the end of the year whoa hahaha

the picture that i sent is a picture of a fruit well its not a fruit but its that things hahaha what they do is they cut it in half and take everything out and shave out the inside like a coconut. then they put it in the sun and when its all dried out its a cup that they use to drink posol which is a nasty drink but you can drink anything from it my comp has one and i drank juice from it and it tastes a lot better ahaha i dont know why but it did and maybe its only a myth or just thats its cooler then a regular cup idk but its pretty sweet.

well i believe that is all for this week keep on working and keep on keepin on remeber that your friends one day that arent members when we are in the heavens are going to remeber you and they will ask you why you didnt share with them what we know or they will give you a hug and thank you for what you gave them. its kind of like that but pres. eyring said that hahaha always remeber to give service and to help everyone you can remember the things that you know and remeber that our friends need the blessing that you have even when life is hard there is always something good in your life follow the commandments which the lord has given and we are promised never ending happiness we all have the potential to be something great and its only up to you to chose your potential or to choose the worldly things.

love you all,

1ST BAPTISM!!

heres some good news...................BAPTISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woop woop we just baptised a young lady who is chosen she is so sweet she is 15 the first time we were with her and talk about baptism she told us that she cant change religions because she always grew up knowing that if she did something bad would happen and keep happening but we talked about prayer and what god would want. we told her to pray and listen for her answer and left it at that. the next day we asked her if she had prayed and she said yes and then we asked her if she had recieved an answer and she said yes she needs to be baptised that she knows that the church is true it was really sweet so we visited her every day for a week and a half and she was baptised saturday he name is justine alejandra guevara orellana she is reallly nice elder reyes baptised her and i confirmed her as a member and all that it was something really special haha i will send a picture and were going to have another baptism the 29th with a lady hahaha she is really awesome just really depressed but she wants to change her life.


its a really humbling thing knowing what i am doing out her in mexico we study the scriptures every morning and when the lord wants to tell us something he makes it very very clear hahaha i was reading in the book of mormon the day of her baptism in in mormon 6:17 it says that jesus has is arms open to us always kinda and then in 7:8 it says that we need to be baptised and repent of our sins and then we can recieve the holy ghost to guide us when we need help and of course i was thinking of justine and she has had a hard life the family in the picture are not her family only friends she left her home be cause her father in law is crazy and her mom doesnt want anything to do with her so she left to her friends house and they called us haha and she was baptised she now has the gift of the holy ghost to guide her and be with her always to give her confort and love when she needs it to give her guidance and to help her with her problems. we all have this gift from our father in heaven we all have that love in our life and it doesnt matter when our problem is the lord will help us in everything we come across and will help guide our lives so that we can return to our father in heaven with opur families council the youth in always following the love of the lord and follow the merits of christ always every day be working on attributes of jesus christ which are found in preach my gospel ask dad every week choose a different attribute to work on study the scriptures and look for ways to better your life.. to recieve guidance and revelation and to build your testimony there are thing thrings you have to do 1 pray.... pray to your father in heaven for help talk with him everyday all day 2 read the book of mormon.... read this book itr has been declared by joseph smith that it is the most correct book in the world and those who follow the teaching will better there life. it will also give you answers in ways you cant even understand 3 go to church... in the church we reniew our covenants and we have the opertunity to talk with our father in heaven more closely in his own house and the talks are given though the people dont really know that they are inspired there is always someone who benefits from the words they say and how they say it

i am not saying you guys are not doing that i am only saying that it is what helps me here in the mission and its what we teach to our investigators and members to always be keeping the commandments of the lord and all 3 things are commandments of the lord and we have the commandments to be happy not to be played with they are all for a reason i love you all haha

other things hahaha i have been sick for 5 days with diarea i know its not what you want to here hahaha but it really does suck i am scared to eat because i know what is going to pass... also i bought a hammock it is really sweet and i have slept in it for 4 nights now woop woop hahahah be good and follow the lord.

ps i love you mom i love you a lot and i really miss my family and i miss your food but i also know why i am here and to be honest this month has gone by so slow hahaha i think its because i have been having a difficult time but i love you all hahaha be good

elder houston..... ps if you could send me a wet stone that would be really nice ahhaha no one has one here and my knife is dull haha

Tapachula!

i am in tapachula hahahaha... goodness i dont know what to do about my package i am going to call the office hahaha i dont know what to do really hahaha if you can call them and tell them to not go through my crap that would be nice cause if my blanket is not in there im going to cry hahaha i will call the office today and ask if they have gotten anything i am glad that you had a good birthday hahahaha why cant dad give away my bed hahah aits just a bed haha anyways so thats ..... i judt talked to the assistents they said tell ups to send the package to you guys again so you can take out the things from china and talk to ups and ask them more information because i guess they are asking for a lot of money and the mission cant pay for it he said they are asking for a lot so yea thats what they told me for you to do call ups send the package home talk to ups maybe get your money back send it through a different people and get all the fine print so you know...... ok so this week has been pretty fun new years was pretty cool we had dinner with our neighbors like we did on christmas broke a piñata and just had a happy time then that night we couldnt sleep i havent been able to sleep for 3 days but on new years at 12 it was rediculous like fireworks are just another thing here they were going off for at least 3 minutes not stop and they were just like bang bang bang it was the big ones that go into the sky haha and then its jus so blessed hot i have been showering at night and while i shower i put my garments in the freezer hahaha and thats the only way i can get some sleep because our fan broke and the other one we have its just terrible hahaha so thats what wer have been doing also it was elder reyes birthday on the 1st kinda weird but i planned a suprise for him with our neighbor we call here mom champo haha she takes care of us better then anyone here in the mission haha well our ward she is amazing. i also found out that the mexicans here know all the bad words in english its sad to say that yes they know the F word and how much i hated hearing it it was the first time hearing that word for almost 7 months pretty rediculous and something that drives ne crazy is they love to listen to muusic in english ugh!!!!!! they cant under stand anything but i can understand it all hahaha lady gaga is popular haha so today i bought some hotwheels hahaha 4 muscle cars haha i love them and me and my comp wrestled the other night oh how much i miss wrestling it sucks because for one i cant go full out and 2 everything is tile and concrete hahaha carpet doesnt exist here hahaha. oh they have this tradition here for birthdays that is really fun hahha you get a seperate cake for the birthday person they sing this song and then say morida!!! over an dover and then what they do is they bite the cake hahaha goodness we just rediculously smashed my comps face in the cake i will send a picture hahaah i learned how to make these bread things that are just delicious hahaha with this lady who wa going to be baptised but alcohol has control over her life and she hates the president with all her heart that was the first time i heard the bad word though they dont know how to use it i knew what she wanted to say and she was crying and i felt really bad like very sad for her because she is to blind to see that its here own fault that she is not baptised we are trying to plant some new seeds i got to talk to here she said she has never had the opportunity to speak about got with me so i helped here with her work and we talked she is a really sweet lady she just has this hate in her heart that she cannot let go of. i wa thinking about this later like how much things of the world just dominate the souls of our brothers and sisters that they are literally spiritually blind to see that there god is this thing of the world that they literally lose here agency because of there obsession and that the only way to be free is thorugh jesus christ. and how does jesus christ do it? through us. missionaries. members. thats why it is so important for us to help people to show them there is something greatewr in our lifes that they can have somehthing solid in the hands and in there hearts that they can feel and know that got exists and loves them please rember this help your friends help them see the light help them n the right path its why we are here to be happy and to progress there is no other way a member in ogden wrote me and she calls us here angels. it really kinda throughs me off to hear someone actually say that i am a angel as one straight from heaven into there lives and how much impact we have on every person we come in contact there is literally at least one person that we talk to everyday who crys when we speak with them the truth is i cant see what an impact we have on people but they can and when they see it he feel it and they know but sometimes they are to stubborn to let got goodness.
i hope everything is just dandy as our good friend joe dirt would say just keep on keepin on
