So this week was a good one! we put baptismal dates for the family Perez yasso. I really enjoy visiting them and always it´s a pleasure to teach them. The only problem is that it´s a fairly big family and it´s hard to teach for understanding for every single family member. But God works miracles so I´m not worried. I really enjoy being with my new companion he has a real want to work and we have accomplished a lot with what we have. We worked without planners all week long. It was a little bit of a struggle but we managed. We found a guy named Emilio and he is a GREAT guy! He has been really receptive and after one time in church he has expressed a little interest in getting baptized. I have never heard of another story more escogido in my entire life.

At investigators house. He has tons of records

So this week in my studies I have concluded there are a couple things that we need to fulfill something from God. First it´s faith, We have to begin somewhere. second we need to be worthy. I like to compare all this to electrical power. God has infinite power so we can do anything through him. It all depends on us. So let´s imagine a battery with a little outlet. First we need to use some faith and plug it in. Then we have a cable that conducts this electric current. The worthiness is the cable. Depending on our level of worthiness will depend on how much power we will recieve. We could have a lot of faith but if we aren´t worthy it´s not going to be a lot. But if we are worthy but don´t have faith the power isn´t there. So we need to be worthy and excercise our faith that we can recieve these blessings at the maximum level and be instruments in the hands of God. I love you all and I know that the church is true. I know that God wants us moving and moving uphill is how this life will feel. But if we keep going we are improving. Even though we might be filled with mistakes. An apostle said that we can "reclaim" all our sins just like a junkyard is reclaimed to make a park where families can go to enjoy an evening. I know this to be true and I also know that God is ever patient to help us in our problems. He will never take them away but in his own timing he will show us the strength that we now have and what we have accomplished with his help.

So this week was a good one and I can´t really complain. So This week we had a Mission tour and we had it with Elder Nash! A seventy so we were really blessed to have him here in our misión. I also really appreciated the talks that he gave and the inspiration that he gave me. He gave handshakes to every missionary in this particular tour so I felt pretty special. When we were working after I was working on splits with Elder Reynoso. We worked his área until the second part of the misión tour. But when we were contacting somebody about 4 yards away a lightning bolt struck and I freaked out a Little bit because it was the first time that has every happened! This week we had a weird sun ring thing going on. And it was pretty cool to see! But the thing is there is so much spiritual darkness in Mexico that everyone well maybe not everyone but a lot of people thought it was something like the virgin . . . . it´s a ring people! But it was all good. We found a huge family this week and they are really looking good! I am really excited to teach them and to make that family eternal. The only problem is that it´s a little difficult to in the room when we want with a baby that always screams or a drunk grandpa that always walks in so we´ll see what we can do. I got a new companion and his name is Elder Espronceda and he seems ready to roll and to work hard.

This week I had the opportunity to listen to Elder Nash and to receive a Little bit of revelation and some hype. I really liked it when he said to us that he would choose some of us to read our favorite scriptures about Jesús Christ and I really liked what everyone had for their scripture. But then I realized that I didn´t really have a good scripture that was my favorite. But then I looked for one and I found one in romans that I have memorized in Spänish but you guys can look it up in English really quick but here it is in Spanish "Dificilmente alguien muere por un justo con todo osara morir por el bien, Mas Dios demuestre su amor para con nosotros en que pecadores aun Cristo morió por nosotros." It´s in Romans 5 and I really love this scripture about how much Christ and God really love us and how willing he is to do anything to get us back to the presence of our Heavenly father.

I love you guys and I hope for the best and the most wonderful week every! OF ALL TIME!

For those who don’t speak Spanish

Romans 5:7-8
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
