well i am doing great happy as can be. my new comp well he is a good guy haha we have had a few arguments but we left understanding. we love the work and thats the only thing that we are worried about. i love the work this wekk we are going to have a baptism with a younge man named luis its on thursday. and the next week with adan juans little brother. he wanted to be baptised this week but he couldnt come to church because his foot is pretty messed up but i think that we are going to pick him up this sunday or even if i have to carry him i will do it. i have been using a lot of eagle scout stuff to tell you the truth i have been healing his foot well his feet because he went in the river and there tons of trash nd he cut open his toe and it started to get infected and well i healed it and heavenly father. what a blessing it was to always be in scouts.

well there you have a few pics. one well you got my new comphaha elder garcia.

2 and almost all of them you got a actuvity we did with juan and his family. we drew the plan of salvations hahaha and i took pictures of all of them.and them drawings hahaha then i fought over whose is the best hahaha its great. then you guy a picture of me wit the chicken on my knee always carefull that it doesnt go to the bathroom on me but hey i am a chicken master i put it to sleep that little guy loves me hahahaha

this week was pretty fun we found a family well 2 families that live together there are 7 who can be baptised. and i am sure lots of them will be because there really awesome people i feel really confortable with them from the start just people with good hearts. i know that the lord has some plans for them and i hope that we can be guided by the spirit to help them find there way and they can see the correct path i know that here in the area we are the lords hands and when we are obediant we receive blessing and we are worthy to have these kinds of experiences. the lord expects all of us to be worthy he expects us to put examples and he expects us to do hs work here are earth in the temples and in the streets with our friends and family neighbors and our neighbors neighbors. we are all called to serve the lord with our haert and strength look to the future follow the path and do the lords work and we are promised in these times we will be proteted and we will grow. we are promised if we do the lords work the angels will be walking along side of us and we will know everything that we need to do. we are promised that are families will be taken care of and that everyone will be happy and all will be in zion. and tell me who wouldnt want that. so just choose it. choose to love the lord because when we dont we ae obviously telling him that we love the world more then him and if we love the world it means we also love satan. in one form i do love satan because he is our brother but in the form that we choose the plan of satan and we follow him if we love the world. the lord has called you to surve. everyone that reads these letters or hears about them i am talking to you and the lord needs you choose the right choose to love our savior and do everything you can to do some kind of work for him daily. before you sleep and night think tomorrow what can i do for the lord. how can i serve him. and it doesnt mean you just drop work and drop your family it means do everything you can to help you bretheren and sisters return to our father in heaven that was when we return and we are in the group of people who recieved the gospel and the group who were baptised and really followed christ our father. doesnt point to the group of people who are lost and he doesnt have to ask us... why didnt you talk to them why didnt you share with them what you know. why didnt you help them. here have my kingdom have my glory but remeber that your brothers and sisters.. they cant enter they cant come in because you all didnt talk to them and help them... maybe a few of them were they who you promised and i promised to find before our life maybe they were our best friends before this life. and afterwards if yu dont help them they will be shut outside and will not be able to enter into the kingdom of our father. i also understand that everyone has there free angency and sometimes we cannot do more. but it doesnt give us any excuse to give up. you are all given the gift of the holy ghost and he knows what they need so go our ther and find them they need you as our savior said... FEED MY SHEEP!!!!

love you

6th what do you see that isnt ruins but maybe better? haha jk

7th maria was baptised!!!!

ok well i am going to start my message with the baptism because it was sweet hahaha well we planed for thursday and well everything was great we came we brought music and hyms we had a program and the members showed up!!! whoa!!! super sweet she was so happy her sister came as well and she liked it a little confused but a sister explained everything to her i baptised her. por fin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice she got baptised and she got rid of the worldly things it was fantastic. then on sunday she recieved the spirit and was confirmed member of the church!!! i couldnt be there for that because a member set up a lesson for us to teach a lady that her husband is a member but anyways this blessed sister gave us a lesson it was on sunday when church starts and i was like well you dont want to see me at church then huh! nah it wasnt like that but when i asked maria about her blessing i said how was your blessing? she says it was great!!! lit up like a candle!! super pumped and so was eye.

well from that what a blessing i have seen and what the lord has done in the life of this family. the only one that we lack in adan and he came to church and liked it he now has a little buddy in the church and they both love to play soccer hahaha we put a goal with him for 18 in june he said ok we will see but he accepted wooohoooo

well we went to izapa it wasnt really what i expected i like it i learned a lot but i felt like i walked around to look at a bunch of rocks hahaha but it was sweet as you can see in the picture of izapa it looks pretty sweet but if you look at me i am pretty much bald. now i will explian. well jenny let me borrow he hair cutter machine i dont remeber how to say it and well i cut my hair its been 2 weeks and i said hmm i think i will pass over my hair again before returning it so i did. well just like my big brow i have hairy neck and i said hey compa can you help me cut this off . i motioned my hand over what i wanted to cut off. this was with out the gaurd by the way. he says ok. and just starts shaving my head in the back!!!!!!!!!!! 3 strikes and i was like whoooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa what are you doing pure panic and i was just elder dummy what have you done hahaha i cant be bald here and he starts laughing because well obviously he didnt understand what i wanted hahaha so i am pretty much bald pretty awesome but i had to buy some sunscreen because the sun is strong here. i think sister velasco is going to yell at me but she will understand that it was a accident hahaha great story i was pretty upset.

other thing tomorrow i will be recieving a new companion his name is elder garcia we will see how it goes. i have lots of work to do here and i am pretty excited to be here for another mnth and a half and well i have lots of baptisms ready to enter into the waters. i will send pictures of my companion when he gets here ok.

well onother thing that i wanted to share with you is i am sure that you have heard the story but. when the hurricane hit japan well there was missionarties there. maybe this will confort my aunt danette. well the hurricane like we know was horrible. and the towns were destroyed. in these towns the missionaries were in the electricity was also taken away and there phones didnt work.but through the power of the spirit they all knew where to go in this zone i believe there were 20 missionaries and not one of them were injured or hurt. as missionaries we have recieved the promises from our heavenly father that the angels will be walking with us and protecting us and at the same time the angels will be with our families to help them and protect them we have 3 missionaries out in the field well us and arizona and well i think i have seen many stories and blessing that we have all recieved. when we are doing the work of our heavenly father he has promised to give us everything that we need. and it can start with your proper faith to make the right choices. that lord wants all of you to follow him and through our example we can show the world why we are so happy and the heavenly father loves them to and wants to give them the blessing that we have recieved. to see a baptism and to see one sister just trashed everyday of her life to sit up out of the dark and pray and completly stop drinking and be baptised in the name of our saviour. there is no other happiness that we can recieve there is no other path to take just do the things that the lord wants and we will be taken care of.

well i am out of time i know this letter wasnt as great as i thought it was going to be but sometimes that happens in the life hahaha be good please and be happy and dont forget to always smile.

well this week really was a great week preparing maria for her baptism and helping my brothers and sisters to come unto christ . it really is a good thing here there are a lot of people that are inactive that have lost tyhere way but little by the little we are clearing the mist and fog of satan i know that our efforts are for a reason. please please please help the missionaries. we need your help as members. our work means nothing if we dont have help. learn what the misionary plan is that the sister are working so hard to do and the other misionaries. this plan doesnt not come from the missionaries it comes from the profet and his apostols and really that means it comes from god so please folow the teaching and the pleads for help that the profets asks. younge men please start preparing for you r mission those of you who cant serve well it doesnt mean you cant serve it means you have a big responsability to fulfil in your wards. our brothers and sisters cant see straight but luckily for them we do and we can help them and explain to them how things are so that they see the light. i know you all have work and have faily and have your life well as our bautisimal covenants its our duty to serve with uor life because we promised to keep the commandments and well its a commandment to serve the lord. for my family well remeber our ward in arizona it was big and it is a great ward and our ward in texas it is fantastic its small but its amazing we need to work so that it can be big and we can spread out more and more. dad justin i remeber many of the workers always asking me questions. and why we are the way we are and i remeber i said well were mormons haha and then they asked.. whats that. i wish i knew before because i would have loved to testify of the book of mormon and that really they have a purpose in the life. please just open your mouths. talk to your friends. out goals to invite a different friend to church every week. i know you can do it.

i love you guys. the message really goes to everysingle person that reads my letters if your a child or a adult its for everyone. the lord has called us to serve and promises us he will help us like i said in my last letter i love you all have a great week.!!!!!

Day After Mother's Day

well it was really awesome to talk to my family oh man i miss you guys so much hahaha but hey yeah its already about a year in i am glad that everyone is happy and doing good well work no but you guys are doing good which is awesome. i am the same as yesterday i am stil sick but i am better its going away but i need to buy my medicine i think we are going to go to the store after this well actually i have to get a haircut. because my hair is going getting long and well i need to get lookin fresh so were ganna see what they can do hahaha.


well we are getting ready for a few baptism coming up i hope they go through theres one guy that finally broke down he has been really rough but idk what happened but some members went to visit him and he promised to be baptised this saturday we have to go and teach him everything this week and then we have others that need to learn to so we will see what happenes

well the other things that i needed or wanted theres eye drops called rhotos i would like a few of those but the white caps. also music from the church some with words some without if possible guitar music of the himns i am dying i listen to the same thing everyday and the churh music that i have bought is terrible because idk bad quality but please please please. and the last thing is a oil holder the one amber gave me is a little broken one of the seals fell out and well it leaks a little bit of oil and i dont know why but they dont have them here in the temple or the members just know were they can look idk but that would be sweet a silver one tht is pretty sweet. i rememberd these things last night.

well the only thing more that i want to tell you guys that i didnt talk to you guys well with coop a little and stevie but lately i have been working with only drunk people that drink there life away and its very hard to tell them that i am not going to come back to help them becaue well they need it. but there is one man that one day he asked me for money so tht he an go to the hospital because his wife was having a baby and she got really sick and maybe almost died well thats what her kids told me. well he asked me for money but he was also drunk. i had no money to give him but i stated to bare my testimoney to him and he kept asking me for money. then i jus tstopped looked at him in he eyes because he had a stare pretty strong but by this point i was a little annoyed but i shook it off and put my arm around him and looked staight in his eyes and asked how much did his drink cost.he pushed me away and said hey we arent talking about that. and i said listen how many drinks have you had. if you hadnt have drank would you have the money to go to the hospital. are you chossing your family first or are you choosing alcohol first what is more important. he kinda got mad and just said are you going to help me or not and i told i have no money to give him and that i am here to help him repent.well the moral of the story is that alcohol is straight from the devil. i have a hard time with it here. and i am relly grateful that i had never tried it. i want to ask everyone who reads my letters to never drink and if you had repent if you havent already just like the prophet said just be clean for one more time again in your life be spotless before our heavenly father. this life is hard if there is alcohol where your at well leave. avoid it all cost.and well the same is with chastity is something so sacred and something that should only be shared with your wife or husband. its very sad i walk in the streets just seeing how people live and its a shame ad its very sad to see. just like jesus taught even if we lust we have commited sin in our hearts thats really the only things that i wanted to share today is please dont touch alcohol or drugs and stay clean it will protect your spirit and your sould. satan only has power over us when we sin and his angels only have permission to go into our bodies if we sin. be clean and be happy i love you all

mom again happy mothers day and my wonderful sister. i love you all so much i hope everything is just fantastic here is a picture of my kid elder gonzales hes a good kid and he is learning a lot.
love you all

Easter!

this week was really rough lots of things going on with my comp and lots of hard lessons because i feel so alone. i felt like i was teaching everyone by myself. didnt feel like the spirit was with me what a blessing we have when we do things right and we can have the spirit with us. my comp has decided to go home. its his own desicion he doesnt want to serve. and i dont understand. right now i am just waiting for my new comp basically. we are here and waiting for more information. his parents called us and i talked to them that was a joke. i cant speak english mothersday is going to be reallt fun let me tell you hahah it literally i feel like a mexican which is awesome because i cant speak english it was really funny because i kept starting to talk in spanish to his parents but i got through it he spoke with his parents then to president and then to me and told me that he is going home. and its not a desicion that is like well i dont feel worthy he just has no desire to serve at all. and its really hard to work. he works and teaches and helps but the truth is that tyhe spirit has not been in a lesson we have had for a whole week and maybe its because i am pretty bummed out this elder has saved my life to tell you the truth because with elder reys i was about dead and fed up with the things and the lord knew and sent elder waldron to me and he has pumped me up to be serving. i have never been happier o be out on my missio because of him and the truth is its very hard to see him leave.

in the mtc there was another elder that went home i dont know if you remember he but he wnt home and my teacher always used this analogy of a war that we come out and fight and when he told me this well its got me soked up to become a warrior just dominating satan. and well i never thought that i would fall . but when elder waldron got here he picked me up by the collar and in the beginning was dragging me by the collar and now its the other way around. its very hard to see my brother in arms fall. and when i tried to pick him up it didnt work i dont know if you is just to heave or what but i couldnt do it and he is goin home. he choked. i gave him water and he drank he passed out i gace hm air and proteccion from everything around i stood over him for days and nights so that the enemies cant touch him he wakes up i give him water he starts to stand but is weak and tumbles ever the rocks as we walk. i pick him up but we get to the edge he is wabling and when i grab him its to late satan hit him and i couldnt block it. and he fell. he did fall into the arms of our saviour because i now that he wont go inactive the reasons and the way he talks is just and i respect him and he is alway going to be a faithful member but i hompe for the best for him because the truth is the people need him here. they need his haert to touch theres and its very hard to see hi turn away in that aspect because i see his potencial.he came as an angel and maybe he leaves as an angel but all i know is that he is leaving with at least one convert and thats me.

other then that maria drank tuesday and couldnt be baptised but this week we are going to win. she starting drinking coffee which i was just really in shock. like sister what do you mean you are drinking coffee remeber the word of wisdom well. coffee is included she is still a little confused but i am glad she isnt drinking coffee is easier to get rid of. her reason is that when she is hungry she ant take it so she drinks a little coffe and she is good hahaha i laugh with her a lot she is really funny. theres a picture of her and juan she is behind juan and then there id rosy she is just a precious little thing hahaha and then there dad giving me a peace sign he is ready to go.

for easter here is great theres a few pictures there that you can see. the catholic church has a car with this huge speaker and the preists walk in fron to lead with a microphone its great they sing this song but they same the same thing over and over and over haha and they just walk all over town sweating a ton. i have a video for the night hahaha its really funny i felt like if they saw me taking a video they were going to turn into zombies and try to get me haha but it was really funny

i know that this email wasnt to great but i ove you all mom i am stoked to talk to you on mothers day and to others as well tell dad not to worry i understand the life he lives hahaa but he whelps me everyday in all i do because i always use stories from our family and the truth is i am greatful for all our family i am happy that i grew up have the example and proteccion from my family and thta you all have always loved me unconditionally. i love yu all i love you mom!!!
