March 26

its been a week of miracles to be honest with everything that i have just read and with the emails i have recieved.brought tears to my eyes and i am sitting in the middle of a room with computers hompe people dont laff at the griengo thats about to cry.one week down and another to go. its going to be great. sorry about the lpane tickets thats the way they told we the things were going to happen. haha to be honest its because i am pretty sure they had no idea either because when i talked to elder ballard that day and he told me he got your messgae he said. yea i havent writen them back because i dont know what to do haha but i am going to call salt lake. but i am glad that you got your pass ports its going to be great.

ok so we had no baptisms and we had no one in church that was rough. we had a beautiful lighting storm though with no rain. sure do love those its like a firework show but more real and it always goes until the clouds go away. we found lots of new investigatores this week. but they started hiding from us idk why people get so afraid hahha the problem here is they dont know how to say know hahaha they always say yes even though deep down they dont want to and the moment they are saying yes they are planning ok the day they come i am going to leave haha so that they cant find me and hope they dont come back. but its ok its just a little bit more easy to fnd the chosen people that the lord has prepared for us to find. tomorrow is my comps birthday and he doesnt want to do anything good for him that what i like to hear but he is also coming up on his year in the mission thats cool i guess but it makes me remeber how mad i was when i finished a year because my comp didnt let me burn clothes hahaha but oh well maybe we will do something fun when that day comes. also we are going to eat pizza today i am stoked to be honest. i love pizza its the best. i am sorry about your chickens. you should just ways till you come here to buy them they are so cheap hahaha there like 5 for a dollor something luike that but i am pretty sure we cant take them on the plane so i guess that would be useless. i love chickes and ducks. i have decided that when i get home i am going to be a swan those are awesome there like gaurd dogs but way better and way pretty i hope i get a white one haha.
i sure did like your faith story it reminded meof what happened to me this week. it was a nightmare..... i am going to share it with you.




ok so wednesday we go to cabeza de toro to visit and teach people. but this time we went to the beach to eat and then we headed to to cacho that means cabeza de toro. and we got there and we went to prepare luis for his interview.... and well it turns out that he didnt understand what it means to be married legally he is only married in the catholic church.and he didnt know that doesnt count and his wife was married to another man at one point and they never got divorsed so now they cant get married until she gets divorces and if they get divorced the other guy goes to jail because he hasnt paid anything for the girl that they had and luis doesntwant that but he says he is going to do everything that he needs to do to get divorsed the problem is he still cant wprk and besides work there is no money. i am so happy i am american. or at least live in the united states haha.but he is going to fight for right now he cant be baptised. but we are going to keep pumping him up. but in the lesson with his my wallet started bugging the crap out of me haha my butt was hurting so i put my wallet in my bag so i wouldnt lose it haha imagine that.. so we get going doing the normal thing we do and it was time to get going so we took off got in a taxi to take us to tonala. and we finish the day like we usually do. the next day started off great and we were getting ready to get going and i start going over my check list of my things that are necesary to preach the gospel. sciptures, book of mormon, agenda. black pen red pen, hankercheif name tag cards phone and wallet.... mmm wallet i dont have my wallet wher is my wallet i check my other pants not there i take everything out of my bag not there i destroy my desk looking fr my wallet and i cant find it. i start to panic.... in my wallet i had my bank card from the mission and my debit card i had my visa in there with 550 pesos its like 55 bucks.. jesus picture cdl license and i think thats it oh yea the most important my eagle scout card.... what would i do without my eagle scaout card lets see i wouldnt be able to do cpr. i would be able to carry my handy dandy pocket knife and do other things that we all know that only eagles can do including flying. so i start to panic and were like dude we gotta go find the taxis. they all know us and at one point we have taught them something or other missionaries and i have 6 months here so everyoone knows me hahah so we get there and i start asking my bros and they start panicing looking in there cars and checking and thinking who they have taken around to go ask them and were way worried for me haha. but there was nothing. so we start calling everyone that we visited that day and no one. so i just got way worried becauss without that stufff i will be all alone with my lonesome self hahah and no money because i ran out of my monthley balance hahaha but i start praying like a ad man. we finish the day and i kneel down to pray to ask my heavenly father to help me find my cards and my visa that i dint want anything bad to happen. so i started searching again and again and northing so in the night time i prayed again and said heavenly father it looks that i have lost my wallet with my information inside.if its your will that i can find it well so be it and if its your will that i dont find it well so be it just help me learn from this experience so that i can do better. if its your will that i find it please help my wallet fall into the hands of someone who can give it to me. and i went to bed. thurday nothing and well friday nothing at night i called and canceled my card with the mission and told elder ballard to contact you guys. and he said ok. at night we got home and we started planning and i had accepted that i have lost my wallet and my eagle scout card and well oh well and so we started planning i sent a messgae to a guy we were going to teach a person that works in the taxis and when the text entered i got a call from some chick and siad. hey who is talking i said well i am elder houston how can i help you and she is like hey i have you wallet i am in cacho i am a chritian and i want to give you your wallet when are you coming. haha i started studdering and just really confused to be honest i didnt even believe it was true hahaa but it was and we went saturday in the morning to find her and she was talking to us and told us that her dad found it in the taxi and talked to the guy that drives and he gave him our number and then contacted us and everything. long story short i got my wallet and i didnt lose a single thing.....not one i have everything. even the money. i am serious. it was something so amazing. i mean maybe its mean to say but i am mexico man and they called me to return my wallet i dont thing that just happens. i am so greatful for heavenly father that he helped me get my eagle scout card back seriously i would be dead. i know he is listening and with the stories that your guys shared with me its just another confermation that its true. dont be men of little faith the lord wants to see our efforts and he wants to see that we can try our hardest and then try a little harder so that he can just open the windows of heaven to bless us and pour down his blessing. and with all that that had happened and all the people that was hiding from us we foound a family of 3 and they look awesome to be honest i am so greatful its really hard to explain but dont thing heavenly father isnt listening because he is just fulfil with what he qwants you all to do and you will see the windos open up and see his holy hand come down and help eveything work out. trust in him. and he will ive you a reason to trust him love you all i hope you have a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!! pay your tithing!!! and its only the last conference !!!!

March 19

thanks mom!!!
ok so we had tranfers and.......... welp i am staying in tonalá!!!!!! so stoked i am serious i did not want to get changed but it will be my last transfer as a leader because the last one they always take you out of leadership so i will have another are thats crazy. way excited to i am staying with elder gamez. we are pumped.

ok sorry the message last week was short and all i really said was dont talk to me about home so i hope it didnt sound mean i wasnt looking to make you feel guilty it was something that was on my mind and i just really want to stay focused and its no that you guys talk about home that much its just that i dont want to hear about finishing the mission because i am terrified thats all and also to help me stay focused a hundred percent. i have 3 months left and i have 3 months of hard work to be honest we have had some really hard trials so the last thing i want to think about is home. thats all haha i love you guys and i do want to come home but at the same time i dont because the mission is the best thing i have ever dreamed about doing. and now that its winding down i gotta take advantage if the opportunity i have to learn the most i can from my father in heaven so i can come home strng and serve in the church wherever the lord calls me to serve. but those are the reasons ok so dont feel bad.

ok so last saturday was rediculous. on wednesday we had a conference and out president made us a promise that we were going to have more trials and harder ones too and well is promise has been fulfilling everyday. but especially saturday. we had an investigator that well yuo can see in the picture his name is joaquin hes a strange guy to be honest but he is like mega shy and does not like to do things and he has been strugling with the whole baptism thing because ad idk why he hadnt been baptised in 2 weeks because he was scared and i didnt really understand. but on friday he had a interview and finishing the interview the elders took off because it was way late so we asked joaquin if he was going to be baptised and he said idk ask the elder that talked to me.. so we sprinted afte him. elder tingey told me. he can be baptised whenever he wants i signed the paper the problem is he doesnt want to be baptised. so we decided in the mornig we were going to go to his house to encourage him to be baptised at 7 and we stood out in the sun for like an hour just waiting for this kid to tell us ok at seven but he decided... no come back at 3 and i will tell you yes or no so we left and went to the church to fill up the baptismal font because we wanted to be ready because he was going to be baptised at least thats what i kept repeatig in my head to stay pacient and happy haha so as we are walking to the church some guy that sells tortilla says e is looking for our members to give them there tortillas so i call them and help him out then we get to the church and we realize that we dont have keys to close the empty valve.... that was terrible but we said ok we can just put our own plug so that we can fill it until we get keys to close the valve. so then we go to turn the water on and the door where the knobs are is locked..... o my goodness so mad that door has never been locked in any church i have been in and here in tonala it has never been locked. so were like crap what do we do i go to call the leaders and talking to one he is in charge of everything he and all the people with keys are in the activity that i just helped have the tortillas and as i am talking i run out of minutes!!!! so were like lets go eat and we will deal with this mess. we went to eat got keys to the valve from the other elders and we come back but the dont have keys to the door!!! so were like ok lets fill it up with a hose... the hoses dont have ends on them to connect them with the spiket so i was just like crap now lets think. theres always a way you just gotta think and i saw a rubber glove haha thats the other picture i sent. good think i had my handy dandy pocket knife!!!!!!!!!!!! loove that thing. i cut off the middle finger of the glove and them cut some strings off the mops haha and tied it all up!!!! yup your sons still got it i rigged up ready to go.... so it was time to go to joaquin. we said a prayer to heavenly father telling him that we have everything set up and we have worked to have the baptism and we needed his help to finish it. so we left and headed to joaquins house... right before we get there we get a text saying come by at 7 to get me but we were close to his house so we decided to go anyways.... we got there and hes like yea i want to be baptised. we got way excited he took like half an hour to pick who he wanted to baptise him.... then we wen to the church and told everyone we could to go and at night we went to his house and got hhim got to the church and there are no memebers... no members means no baptism!!!!!!!!!! but at the end a few showed up and w baptised him but it was a mess but it shows that the profesies of the president are just fulfilling hahaha this saterday the same thing happened but the guy didnt get baptised this satuerday for sure!!!!!!!!!!

its been fun here in tonala i love it. every investigator we have when we show up satan attacks haaha but we will keep fighting. elder gamez is going to be 25 on the 28th of march and i am going to be 21 in april!!!! i can gambel and byu beer... nice.... well i will never be able to use those privledges haha but its ok its better not to.... oh yeah we found some ladys from san cristobal they speak tsotsil the dialect were going to start teaching them!!!!!!!! its going to be way fun.

ok well i know that heavenly father is listeneing to our prayers trust in him and he will help its been a real eye opener these few days. and i know that and if you dont know that i invite you to try it out ad you will see that its true. our father loves us and wants us to be happy it desnt matter what has gone through life or what we have done he loves us and is always ready to listen to our prayers. remeber that and look for oportunities to serve so that the father can trust yuo to!!!.i jut realized i dont remamber if i sent a happy birthday to stevie or not but i am so sorry if i didnt i love you buddy FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS NOS VEMOS PRONTO ESPERO QUE ESTE FELIZ!!!!!!!

ok i gotta go love you guys a lot if you could say happy birthday to jake for me i know his bday was like 2 weeks ago but i would apriciate it today i think i am going to buy new shoes to celebrate haha cause mine are destroyed again!!! hahaa love you!!!

1 luis well he got super worse he was the one that got jmped and was about to lose his legs he wanted to come to church but the doc told him know so he was sad but he is reading and praying. ayayayaya but i now that he will be baptised as soon as he can

gerardo. he is way awesome. super funny he has like 3 years listening to the missionaries and wants to get baptised and then BOOM!!!!! he passes out!!! he has high blood preasure and coleschural idk how to spell it but he then almost died it was the 2nd time happening and they ay that the 3rd time usually they dont come back.he has to get a brain scan and figure out what is wrong but it cost 3000 pesos and he doesnt have anything but they are looking to see if they will lend him a hand so fa looks good. but keep these 2 guys in your prayers

pedro enrique! he i a goofy guy even though he doesnt want to be but he called us at 624 in the morning to tell us he wanted to go to church. i was mad at first because i still had 6 minutes to sleep but then when he said he wanted to go to church i was happy because we havent seen him all week. and now he is legible to be baptised because it was his 2nd time woohooo!!! the only problem is he cant walk someone has to go pick him up and well it cant be us so we are trying to find someone to go by his house every week for the rest of there life!! haha.

this week was interesting i have a story that is way weird that hppened sunday morning like at 4 or 5 who knows. i dont even remember. so elder gamez when he got here i told him all about when i thought the ghosts had come to get me.and he was like elder houston dont even worry i dont even believe in that because its not real so i said. elder i hope your right bu listen carefully ok its not that if you believe or not the fact is that its real so i hope that nothing happens because i dont like it haaha and well we have been fine. nothing has happened... until now... hahah so i guess we were sleeping and well in the middle of the nigght what i do remeber is that i moved positions putting my head where my feet were because i was hot and the fan was hitting my feet. but its vivid that memory. but elder gamez said that in the middl of the night he hears me say in a loud voice really mean like saying... ¡¡¡¡DONT BUG ME ANYMORE LEAVE ME IN PEACE I WANT TO SLEEP!!!!(translated from spanish since i talk dream and think in spanish) and he wakes up to that and sees that i am backwards then from when he saw me before he fell asleep and he said when he wok up and i said that he felt someone sit up from his bed like there were there with him because i yelled at them so he jumped under his covers and he said he felt someone like touching him hahaha and was ho´ping that i would wake up but i didnt. and so e passed the whole night hiding under his covers.. and in the morning he tell me the story and says well i wasnt scared but ya. and i said its ok elder nothing happened you should have woken me up haha he said i thought about it but i decided not to talk. then at night he said something funny. we were about to pray and e says hey what do you say we bless the house at the same time. so i asked if he was scared and he says no i am not scared and kinda dropped his head haha so i said ok its ok we can bless the house before we go t bed and he says its ok it just the well...... its real haha. i started to laugh but its true i was really happy that i didnt wake up because i dont want to see a ghost.

its been a fun time here in tonala i really like it. w are lifting up the ward we are almost with 80 people coming to church wich is awesome when i got here it was like 60. we are activating pople and getting ready for more baptisms. i am excited for another week of success we are turning the branch around.sicky sick!!!! ok well really thats all i got on my mid today i love you guys a lot and i will talk to you guys next week!!!!!!!

Jan 16

ok 4 bautismos!!!!!! wooohoooo

ok so wee had 4 baptisms way fun i loved it.we had 7 in white. in the family they are a family of 5 but the little one she is 7 kinda upset that she could be baptised haha so its pretty awesome.that could pull through.

i am feeliong a lot better too hahaha in the pictures there are a few things well only 2 there the baptisms hahaha i was playing with different modes on my camera thats why they come out all colored and what not hahahaha but the ones at the bottom there are 3 books of mormon. elder martinez gave the one that you guys doint know what iot is hahaha is a in a language called TSOTSIL hahha its a dialect that i am trying to learn its pretty hard to be honest hahaha but its fun i like to learn now i do my home work and our zone leader served in the are that they speak that language so he is helping me learn more faster that doesnt make sense haha more faster but anyways its really interesting the language to be honest but i love it i have a lot of interess...dang i dont know it says it a fin de cuenta i want to learn more languages so we will see what happens.

this week we were able to see the branch start working we have a investigator that i told you about the he got jumped haha and well he has been going through a lot of things including that he is in danger of being paralized i dont know how to say iut in english i forgot but basically his spine is fractured and but not broken all the way through but he was headed right for there. we took him some food and some information so that he could go to the doctor and everything ould be free becausre he has no money and he cant work sio they are completely helpless it makes me so sad sometimes we gave him a blessing and it looks like the whole famiuly is starting to warm up to us and they are all catholics like super cathoilics but they started talking to us they let us pray in the house. alright i have to go back a little. they are not catholic catholic they are catholic there own way but they say that they will never shange. so we will see what haoppenes thats what luis said to and now he wants to be baptised, haha its awesome he is really sweet he will be a great leader in the church.

we haveanother investigator that he is in a wheel chair and he has a sickness that attacked his muscles including his brain. and so he is like super smart because he used to be normal but right now you would say oh he is handicap. its really sad but when we start being serious you can see in his eyes that he is serious. but his outside he is laughing really confusing sometimes. because we are trying to ready and he just starts bust ing up laughing and the first time that he did that i was just like what is so funny and then i started cracking up but then as he was laughing he started saying i am not laughing because i want to its because of my sickness i cant control it and you can see in his eyes a sadness. its really hard sometimes because he always is just laughing and smiling even when he wants to cry he just starts laughing but really he is crying. at least that what we see. he is a great person. but we have to help see the light.

its been a way fun time here in tonala. iu love it. i wanted to ask you guys for something if thats ok i know that maybe he doesnt need them but i wanted to give something to elder martinez. i want to give hime some scriptures in english with his name on them. but the mini ones.next week if you could tell me if thats ok i will give you more information like his name and what not and what color, but he is a awesome elder i think he is like one of my best buds out here and i hope that your going to be able to meet im when you come. i hope dad still isnt freaking out hahaha but we are working hard we have some more baptisms coming up here pretty quick. love you family i hope everything is awesome i love you all be good and have a safe week

elder houston TEXACOM!!!! that means see you later and the x is like sh sound

Jan 9

ok awesome message but before i get started today i have a terrible announcement. and i have to ask for all your prayers to a group of people..idk if you guys remeber juan from tapachula my best buddy ever that is just super awesome and we baptised his whole family.... well his family is gonzalo and maria and the juan and his lil bro adan and rosi..... wellll idk if yall remeber what happened with them. we fought and fought with maria so that she could stop drinking.... and she stopped and she was baptised 3 weeks later she collapsed and started drinking again and i think you all remember that it just broke my heart... and then they started fighting idk if i remeber if i told you that but they had issues... welll maria kept drinking and drinking until now.. i just recieved a message from gid de jesus. my comp that wasnt a missionary here but was with me after elder waldron. he sends me messages and updates. and well he has just informed me that she has just passed away....because of the alcohol. she couldnt control it and she couldnt stop. and it has taken her life a little earlier then expected. and now i am worried about juanito. hes a good kid just trying to do things right. he has always been really protective of his mom.. i remeber where he worked always teased him because his mom drinks and many times they would tell him hey i saw your mom drunk is central walking around and he would leave his work on a bike searching the whole city worried sick maybe even crying looking for his mom. i remeber one time he just barged through the doors of his house and saw his mom and just the look of relief on his face. after that he left his work and just followed his mom around so that she would drink he would sleep right next to her and would not leave her side so thyat she could be better. and now she is gone for a moment. please include them in your prayers.

well i dont really know where to go from here i am just deadly shocked of what i have just heard.my heart hurts for them. but i know that heavenly father will watch over them we have the marvolous plan of salvation to help us move forward with the hope to see our loved ones again.in the mission i guess the statement fulfills that we go through every situation that exsists and we have ups and downs and ups and down good times and bad but the one thing that i do know is that my father in heave has always been at my side. and has never left me alone and its the same with anybody if in one moment you think that you are alone just stop say a little prayer in your heart and ask god to let you know he is there and he will answer you i know he will because he always answers his kids. because he loves us and he wouldnt just leave us alone. trust in the lord with all thine heart mind might and strength so that he may pour the blessing upon your head and your heart may be filled with joy and hope through the grace of our lord jesus christ that makes it possible that we may return back to thema nd be able to be made clean and know whats coming when it comes. i have a huge testimony of that because in these lasts month i have have been experiencing these things and right now as i am startting to figure things out i am seeing miracles unfold in front of my eyes and i can see the hand of the lord in y life and in the lives of everyone who choses to follow him i know that my father lives and that so does jesus christ i know that he would never let us go through a trial that we cannot handle. he wouldnt do it and remeber that everything happens for a reason and there is always a way out of the bad things that may happen. and when i say always i mean always.

tesslea!!! thas cool i was just talking to our future members about that yesterday that today i will probably recieve a message that my sister is in the hospital getting ready to have her baby thats weird that i am going to be an uncle again but its also awesome. when you get to see her look at her eryes there deep and pure and very mysticle to be honest to know that they have just come from the father and that it is probable that they still remeber a lot. idk thats what i have heard but itsa a very beautiful thought.

the baptisms didnt go through because they had a little bit of problems but they are way excited for this sunday to be baptised we are going to be 7 in white and maybe 8 so the little girl doesnt feel left out, but she is still pure haha and has no need to be baptised but she still feels a little left out but its ok they are stokes which just pumps me up we are going to have lot of baptisms this months.

we have the one guy who was jumped that finally come to church and loved every bit of it so thats way exciting. and also gerardo come to church and told us he wants to be baptised on saturday but he cant yet but he finally is excited and it looks like we are going to change his llife so that he can be good with his wife.

sorry that i am not really excited just a hard thing to hear because i was so excited to see all of them again and to be able to present you guys to the fam and now she isnt going to be there and its just kinda hard i am sorry i love you all i hope all goes well aber and tesslea your in my prayers i know the fathers hand with be there with yall. be good this week. congrats coop and stevie and dad dont worry your not going to die you will live you know i would do something that you cant handle and i cant get you sick either so i want you to relax because your probably going to only eat a little bit hahaha and th water here dont worry its nothing how you think its delicious. i know you guys wont like it the first time you try it but the second time you will definately be able to hahaha and keep practicing the trick to spanish is practice. and you have to losen up your mouth muscles. i remeber 3 days after the mtc that my mouth felt swolen because of the new movements but then it went away and now lok i basically fluent. and you can try to also start with a prayer before you get started ok love you all be god.
