alma is a investigator that well she is very hard headed but finally after 4 and a half months she has a baptism date and we are going to baptise her in her pool she is really weird like that and she says that she is going to marry jesus. well i dont think that is going to happen but i guess we will see her baptism is the last sturday in this transfer 28 de mayo wops español i didnt mean to but ok from there maria mother of juan has come out of her transe and wants to be baptised saturdy we are going to do that one in the church and we have to heat up the water for gonsalo because he a problems he is kinda old and has certain sicknesses i guess that he cant be in could water and well when you guys know mexico you will understand that hot water doesnt exist hahha but we will heat up some buckets or something to warm the water. from there they will be baptised saturday if they can win and not drink or smoke. maria told us i have no idea why i started drinking but noww she is good hahaha i hope. juan was pretty sad but now he is pretty stoked again to have his family in the church with him.i gave him and hs little brother hold to the rod thingies juan never takes it off ahaha and he shows it off today i am going to give him some music i have in english because he wants to learn english so he can talk to you guys when you come pretty excited for that he always asks me when your coming hahah everytime and he is like hello whitey i need to learn english so i can talk to your parents haha i would love to bring him to our house to live maybe someday in the future i home. from there i have made a really good friend he lived in the us in florida and west virginia something like that and he has a boy there in florida he is starting a business selling fruit and other thing so that in like 7 years he can get papers and go see his kid i told him that i wioll hook him up with a job haha so he is going to work for me in 14 months. i gave hime 200 pesos so he doesnt go to jail because he has to pay for a loan and he needed help haha he is a member inactive but he came to church with us and he said he is going to build his store on the gospel he will pay him tithing and everythiung pretty awesome we always drink coke with him or these delicious ice thingies hahaha fr om there we have found one of my brothers i feel like he is one of my bros in heaven that i told him that i would find him here and he is progressing and his girlfriend and his mom haha th ey are all super awesome he played soccer w ith us this morning his name is fabian. i am learning how to play soccer haha when i get home i am going to find a league to play hahaha i love this sport seriously but it doesnt beat wakeboarding that i will miss this year in powell but still hahaha no its ok i dod miss my board and i wiss the water but i am also really happy doing what i am doing. also my dad is going home today. elder crane has finished him mission and he is headed for his house. later in the afternoon we will be c oming back to write again because my comp needs to get some advise from his dad . i hpe he wins. i dont understand what is passing his mind but i hope in some way i can clear the smoke from his eyes so he can see straight. also yesturday i found out the my first baptism justine. well she got married nd dint invite me haha well more serious she is 15!!!! an d she is pregnant. really sad i cant belive it but i hope she goes back to church

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.

hahaha well i think my message to justin just about did it for me nah just kidding no i sent him a pretty good one you should read it but this week was rough no i still havent recieved my package and idk what to do about it haha well theres actually nothin i can do.hahah the truth is this week was rough i have a lot of thinking about home and i really miss you guys i really miss home but i had a blessing by my comp and now i am better and some advise from my big bro gets me pumped up realdy to go but this week we have 2 baptisms planned for the mom and dad of my buddy juan haha i think he is excited he is always boared but i hope i can help him get excited i am pretty sure he is about to get the aaronic priesthood. pretty excited for that and some other converts are getting really to do some baptism for the dead well i sure hope so. yes i got to see all of the coference but it was all in spanish pretty riough i am not used to listening to such big words but hey i got some notes hahaha but really i loved prieshood session the best like always. but i did miss the dinner with my dad and brothers i really look forward to prieshood session every year to be with my dad and brothers and no dad i am not coping you or trying to steal your words but its the truth. listen to the prophet and the apostols one talk said we need to prepare ourself so lets get ready hahaha really i went blank to. it was a rough week but we are working hard i promise

this picture is of my companion trying to make tortillas haha por littlñe things hahaha but they were delicious. with some salt. dont woprry mom when i get home i am going to help you learn how to eat like a real mexican and then marrio flores can say yes now thats real mexican food hahaha because the way i eat here is nothing compared to mi amigos. its delicious there but they are missing a few huge things hahaha for example tortillas in every meal. we dont use silverwear we use tortillas and it is amazing.

i am stoked for mitch like you have no idea and i am sad because once again i dont have anytime to send him a message that can really help him i am going to do it next week but i sure do love the kid and for eveyone else to.

well to be honest i am completely blank amber dont hit your kids the prophet has tought that we dont do that. babies cant lie you know hahaha no just kidding braiden you shouldnt lie.

well here is a little something i wrote to justin

right now i am living in this challenge and it is going to push to your limits when you dont think you can go anymore you return to the house eat a little snack and get to relax for a minute then you start thinking of all of your day that had just passed. you will go to your room with your comp and fall to your knees from exauhstion and begin to pray sometimes you will cry sometimes your calm who knows. but what you do know is that your working for the lord and he is really happy with you.and in your prayer you plead for help every night because really you will need it everyone does.but when you wake up your pumped and ready to go again. throughout the day your busy busy busy and you work and work and work. but your happy.your work until you cant even walk and your still happy. sometimes its even nesesary to give a hug to a bum that has no home and you get to tell him that everything is ok and that he is a child of god and his father loves him and wants him to be clean. sometimes you feel angels walking next to you and sometimes sometimes your are torn to peices because your brothers dont accept the invetation or you see them fall into the chains of satan and you will cry for them and pray for them. but in these moments you feel something amazing its something like your running your hands through the clouds of heaven.

the truth is i really feel that way there is nothing better that i have every dedicated my life. i dont think i will be an apostol one day but i will always be a diciple of christ and follow what he wants. and i hope that my hand never leaves these clouds that i have had the opportunity to touch and feel and love

please follow the cousils of our leaders its like holland said every talk and message was from the heavens and from the angels. and they have all recieved that from our father.

sorry this week was lame but i love you all i hope i get my package soon maybe try and call them.idk. i love you all!!!

4th Baptism!

ok well this wek was pretty crazy i am going to start with th best thing that happened this week then i will advise you with the other stuff and with your wonderful email you sent me.

ok so this lady i dont really remember how to call her in english. younge lady not important well she is just chosen off the wall i tell you what. so basically we have nt been able to see her for a week and then she wasnt going to come to church because she was feeling sick but our member called her up and said please come its going to be super sweet. so she came we made an appointment for wednesday to teach her and prepare her for her baptism. we always had to teach her in the church so we arrived at the church and called her up to ask where she was. she was sick in bed sleeping haha we had to tak to her sister. well its was really hard to except that because she is so ready to be baptised. thursday morning we had a planning sesh with my comp and we got on the subject of monica and we said well i think it would be better if we give her name to other misionaries who live closer to her and can go to her house to see how she is doing. so i sent a message. asking for her direction. hahaha she text back and says hey i feel a lot better today and i want to see you guys at the church today at 4. whoa. ok then we started preparing a lesson for her and i tell my comp that i dont think she is going to be baptised this week i think she is going to want to wait. my comp says to me listen do yuo want her to get baptised this week or no. i said yes. then he said ok do you have the faith that she is going to be baptised this week or no. i said well of course duh and he said ok then. lets do it.so we said a prayer and off we went. we went to the lesson she starts telling us everything that has happened that was amaznig that her parents are trying to make a better effort to have a better relationship with her and that she is reading the book of mornon non stop and cant put the book down. and sometimes it just stumps her so she has to take a break and then go back just all this amazing stuff. then she says listen i was talking to my sister and asked if i get baptised this weekend will you come and support me and he lil sister was pumped up out of her mind and even baught her dress whoa!!!! and she says listen i want to be baptised this week like we made this goal to do and asked if it was still possible to do it. i said yes and she was stoked nearly cried hahaha and then she had a few doubts but we cleared t all up she says she doesnt want to wait haha that this wekend is her baptism. we set up her interview friday and her baptism friday. i had the oportunity to baptise her. but the best part of it all was this........ we entered the water. she is smiling excited. we set up and i say the prayer. baptise her and when she comes out of the water she is smiling huge and she asks. am i perfect? i said yes you are perfect smiling back at her and she is just i dont know super happy in the perfect state like a child. but when i left the water i was just full of joy and happiness i couldnt hold it in. i went to the bathroom to change. i kneeled in my wet clothes to offer a prayer of thanks. i started to cry because i was so happy. then i felt an angel from heave rest his hands upon my back and fire went through my whole body. from my shoulders to my ears to my feet and back up. and i just cried. giving thanks to our father in heaven to have the oportunity to help my sister find the straight and narrow path. there is no greater feeling then this i tell all of you with all my heart that there is nothing better then i could be doing right now. the joy of helping these people helping them find what we have.

well that is my story well i have another one hahaha last night we were walking and idk we had a few options to do. to go to a few different houses. we decided to pass by one sister to see if she has time to come with us to a lesson. she open the door and is like elders what the heck are you doing its really late. it was only 7 and she invites us in.she doesnt look to well. and she starts to tell us everything that has happened and has passed that she hasnt slept for like 3 days and her head is killing she is on the erge of crying. and i offered a blessing she says please. we give her the blessing and we end. she is sobbing. and knows that she is going to recieve the help she needs. we let her go so that she could sleep. and rest and as wee walk out the door she is always asking if she can help us and i said. the only help you can give us if you go to sleep right now i gave her a promise that she is going to sleep and the lord is going to bless her. she starts crying again and says thank please pray for we tonight so i can sleep so we did i and know tht she couild sleep we gotta check up on her but after that i was of fire just pumped up out of my mind i dont know but we pass this homeless guy. just sitting on the ground no shirt no shoes. looks super sad. well you know how i am with the homeless i just have to try to hlp. we sat down next to him and he really didnt want to talk to us but i got a glimpse of what he is going through the way the people were looking at us and the looks oh i hated the looks. he had his head down. we shared a message with him and stood up we invited him to stand with us. i gave him a hug and then my companion did to i dont know i was inspired i didnt care i had a white shirt and tie this man needed a hug so we gave him one. he still didnt smile but i always see him walking. there was one moment when i really was thinking who could we go to give him a place to sleep i thought of a few but i knew they would just be like elderes are you serious come on. so i didnt.

super sweet mitchell got his call i am super stoked for him. i have been waiting forever for him to get out ther you know everynight thinking about him sharing our stories that we have had together with my investigators but now it is his turn to get ut ther and show the world that the lord loves everyone and that no one is alone.with colton tieman i wish i had a way to send him a messgae i am also proud of him that he decided to make that desision to wait i really hope that he can wait and get out there he needs it.

package still have not recieved it do you have a tracking number or something i can try to find it?and the thing with recieving blessing i am sure that you guys are jus living the way you should and choosing the right i hope my little brothers are listening to my letters and i hope they read them. its going to be a rough time growing up i think in texas because it is like that but as role models we can only teach then to do good and hope they make the right decisiones. ñuckily i have you and day as parents and my sister amber and big brother justin and i learned from you guys and had lots of pressure because i didnt want to fail my father in heaven. i have never drank or smoked in my life because of those things. i have touched alcohol here more then any other place because i always dump the bottles out when the drunks offer me.

i love you all i hope everything is just dandy trust ion the lord in all you do so that we can alweays be happy.

well the truth is i am out of time right now i need to write the president but i love you all follow your prayer and fallow the revelations that we recieve so that we can continue recieving the help from our father in heaven pray for other people always and do all we can to help every person that we can to come to know that the church is true. i love you all be good i am excited for the next letter. oh the pictures is my companion and me under a rainbow 2 gringos in mexico hahaha and elder waldron is a lil tea pot hahaha the other is from this morning i love you all be good!!

also we had a baptism this saturday very rushed and very beatiful his name is juan santiago dominguez garcia really a good kid he is 14 and he had taken the decision to follow the example of jesus christ to be baptised i baptised him and elder reyes confirmed him. the thing that hit me the most about this younge man is that after he was baptised we were sitting in the front of everyone and it was after he was baptised in the last him and like all mexicans here are trying to learn english the only problem is he doesnt go to school but he is still learning. but what happened was we were listening to the last him and he leans to me and says hey.... i love it....in english.... i sat and thought and said you love it? and asked him in spanish and he says yes and i asked him what he loved.. then in english he told me to shut up hahaha and his eyes were a lil red and i could already see the change in him he had that glow of joy and happinss that everyone is looking for what a wonderful blessing we recieve and like juan he is now in the proper path that we should be in and he loves it ..i know that this is all for a reason that we suffer a lil but we remain happy that we have the love of our father in heaven and our light is glowing for everyone to see

i know that my letter isnt very long this week but i love all of you that have the chance to read about my adventures here in mexico hahaha oh yes the picture of the child with the dog well with petie i didnt know that you sent her here and changed her to a boy but hey hahah this childs name is agel and he is 7 he knows the church is true hahaha because the teachers in the church said that joseph smith restored is and was a prophet hahaha he is the child of a investigator that we have hahaha the only problem is her daughter doesnt know the church is true and the sister doesnt want to be baptised without her daughter so we are going to talk to her about the church and see if heavenly father can help us out a lil bit she is really sweet and nice only doesnt like that she doeant know a lot like the other kids haahahaha whoa haha

oh yes i am sick again hahaha and this time its super worse when i gotta go i gotta go theres no time to run to the house for the irst time in my mission i went to the bathroom in another house that i am not living in 2 times what the!!! its terrible i hate it but hey i think its because i ate in the street and thats what i get i have to suffer to eat the good food i guess hahahahaa

oh yes the wheather is hot hot hot and it has been raining for like a week and a half whoa and i love it hahah our neighbors said i tought there grand daughter to get soaked in the rain and so we are going to play in the rain again soon hahaha but yes its very hot everyone has concrete houses like it says in heleman and the ones that live in the river have sticks with sheet metal roof and plastic walls hahaha crazy crazy i dont see how people can live like that but i understand it is something better then nothing i tell you that money is the devil and we know why hahaha

the lord is with us he wants us to be happy he wants us to walk in the correct path so we can return back to our father in heaven safely and happy and the only way to do that is through the power of the atonement so we can repent for everything that we do even the bad words we say.. we have to and need to repent i love you all read your scriptures and always pray i love you all
