welp its been a good week i have seen some crazy things this week to be honest. ito things that i was just like what the heck!!! and other things like are you seriously doing that lady?! hahaha i will count a few of these stories. there short. i saw a man with half a face and with half a head that was super weird,other thing was well alright so the other religions in the world are weird that all that your ashould understand and i know that you have all seen them on tv that they get really into what they do and the epople go crazy and cry yell maybe pass out or roll on the ground well i witnessed a good one its not so insane but right now i explain.
so we have a few investigatores there pretty good sometimes they anger me but i love them to death. there 4 ladies wwell ok one is a lady and 3 are younge ladies but we go to there house and well earlier that day my comp was making fun of those who think if they yell the spirit comes. so we get to this house and we hear some christian music and then a preacher that starts preaching. and my comp goes off ahaha so we enter the back yard just laughing and then when we enter we see the sister she is a member that is inactive but we see her through the window and she is like a foot away from the tv standing up and the preaching is yelling and the sister is in front with here arms in the air and its just like are you kidding me and then they start singing and well you know me i am just starring and just laughing and well the words in english come spirit come spirit take me away and wash me wash me and then some other words but the sister is like trying to sing the song is way off and then when the singer says clean me she is like repeating it out loud and i lost it i was just like seriously you cant be serious why are you doing that but then i had to repent because i should judge people its not my place but i do know one thing i know that we are in the true church and i have seen a miracle happen with my big brother that has brough so much peace to my heart and mind. i know that the lord is working for all of his chldren.the ones who are mebers and the ones who are not.
i have learned lots of things this week as to do with the gospel and to do with the word of wisdom. i have recently remebered a scripture that i dont know where it is but actually it happens lots of times in the book of mormon but when moroni sees that the people are being bad again after they have just been saved and strengthened to win a war and they start sinning. and he says how fast have you all seen and forgotten what thelord has done you you guys. and i was reflecting on that scripture yesterday. about the word of wisdom. so i want all to listen up.its not only the 5 things that are prohibided we have to watch what we eat in everything. and do excersises. our bodies should be strong our hearts should be strong the reason i tell you this because when i was with elder rawlins i did my excersises good and i was getting super healthy but now that i have come to tonala i havent done my excersises how i should do them an guess what i have started losing my apatite. its super important to excersise and eat good i know its hard because food is delicious but at the same time i feel like what we eat bad and then we dont excersise we are starving our spirit and its not that strong. so do some excersise and eat healthy. including redbull..... i love the drink but uts not the best thing anyone should drink. and if redbull is bad think of the things that are prohibided stay away from them and i promis that you will be blessed and the lord will santify and fortify your temple!!
ok so i have a challenge for everyone the only thing is that the rules change for me because i am a missionary hahaha and i am spanish. right now i am finally memorizing the scripture masteries i wanted to send out the challenge to everyone to memorize them with me!!!! i am tring to have all of them memorized in like a month or maybe a little longer i try to memorize 2 a day and some of them are kinda hard haha and i am of couse doing it in spanish but have a huge testimony of these scriptures how the lord has used them to enlighten my mind and help me understand them and even still i lack a lot to understand but i have memorized 12 and there a 100 of them haha so i wanted to challenge especially my family if you guys can all memorize them haha and extra bonus if you memorize them in spanish!!! if you do it in spanish(mom dad justin amber josh cooper stevie jace and braiden) i will bring you home a sweet prize but you will have to tell me before i leave hahaha but i will be testing you. in the way it can help you guys build your testimony and remeber the words of the lord when your are passing trials and need to be conforted and need strength in every moment you will have this scriptures to help you escape the firey darts of satan i love you all just want to invite you.
this saturday we have a conference with octavio something of the 70 should be good pretty excited
the pictures i dont remeber which ones i put on there but i hope you enjoy there is one of a rat i think that was dead and then a chicken i believe made his life worse hahaha
if you could send me some money so that i can send a package home i dont know if you have i havent even checked my accout hahaha love you all have a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oct 17
haahaha joke hahaha no the truth is i dont really want anything for christmas because i cant really use anything out here actually i dont even use my clothes. when i get home i just plan with my comp eat my oatmeal cookies with my chocolate milk maybe read the Liahona and i got to sleep. haahah. so for christmas maybe pictures and cards from everyone idk you guys can think of something i think.haaha i know i make it a little hard.. if you want. you could look on the internet on desseret book store and see if they are still selling the book of mormon in its original first adition form you know the one thats in the movies exactly how joseph smith had it, when i was in ogden i saw i and wanted it but i didnt buy it, then you could save it for me and when i get home it could be like a late christmas hahaha. but yea the truth is i dont use anything here haha actually i will be sending a ton of things home here prety soon because i am ired of hauling around all this stuff haaha
water filter system yes its true i have one of those bottle and yes its true that you can put coke in it and it comes out clean. its pretty legit to be honest so tel amber that its ok i drink clean water hahah.
BAPTISM!!!!!!!!
it went through!!! her name is rubicela casillo solis she is 13 haha way ready to be baptised and was way excited to. she has had a rough time haha actully she got married once haha and she is 13!!!! what!!! but then she left actually it was never done legally but it was done tradicionally idk way weird but she was way happy to change her life and was so happy that she could be baptised. her birthdy is friday hahah.
ok so this week was pretty fun to be honest a little hard but it was good i love my comp seriously so funny he does weird things but he is awesome. learning about the scriptures and how to apply them for in life.
well its true we did have rain and its been cloudy for like 4 days pretty aweosme.and i have escaped eating fish for 2 weeks yes!!!!!! hahahaha
ok look there is only one thing i want to write you guys and i gotta go. its about the atonement of christ.
any of you who have some loads on your back. repent. do what you have to do so yu can be clean.i know that sopmetimes its rough and sometimes its really hard but when we understand this life there is nothing that should hold us back to be clean its not worth sinning and risking be cast out of the heavens. the lord need you younge people to be clean to get out her to fight seriously. satan is workning harder then ever to destroy the plan that we have and he wont win if we get o work. jesus has made it possible to be clean everyday so that we can win but when we subject ourselves to satan or to sin its the same. we willing reject heavenly father and all that he has given us. everyone needs to repent. its always possible there is nothing that can keep you from being clean. just talk to the father and do what you have to do. he loves you and is willing to forgive yuo whatever you may have done. the atonement is one thing that helps us wash out garments so we may satnd before god. i know its true because i have been living it for 16 months in my mission i have seen how it works in other peoples lives and in my own. and its worth repenting there is no other happiness then having weights been lifted off you back being able to walk up straight.i promise all of you that its worth it so please dont procrastinate your repentence. follow our loving heavenly fathers plan and you will see that the heavens will open upon you own head and in these days so hard to find money and work you will see the hand of god lift you up and move yu along so that the suffering will easily pass away and we will be taken into the happiness of our father that he is so willing to give us. remeber the commandments are there to help us not to restrain us. i love everyone of you and only want to see the best for you.
elder houston
ps... if you guys are going to come here to get me when i finish you need to talk to the mission office no less the 3MONTHS before because if its less then 3 months you cant come. so maybe get the planes now so that you can say this day you will be coming and this is the time you will be staying here and this day and time you will be leaving. ok dont procrastinate because theres a to late sorry ok? haha only so that everything is sure. in the office there are lots of elders wo speak english so dont worry. and thank you for sending the package i hope i get it next friday!! maybe for christmas good church music thats not tabernacle choir but is from the church and there like himns and stuff and some that are spanish ok
