Workin to Teach Men to be Men!

Hey errybody!

This week, well like every other missionary in the world says, was another amazing week on the mission, full of blessings and wonderful, hard, beautiful, crazy experiences!! We had lots of great lessons and we are looking for people to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ to with open hearts!  

So Tatiana left for la USA last week and this week Catherine (catarin) came back and man its amazing to be around people you have developed such a love for. She was SOOOO Evangelical and man she did not wanna get baptized para NADA but then her dad got baptized and now whaboom! Shes a member. there whole family will be members if we get Ruben (the only son) baptized! We are working really hard to help that guy! A girl we were going to baptize on the 27th backed out and i think its good because she has never ever read the Book of Mormon and so we have some great work to do with her.

Great it is!!! I love this work. To be honest it's really hard and I have never been so tired in my whole life. But I've also never been so Happy. Its the fact that we dont do anything for oursleves other than wash our clothes haha and man there is alsways somtething to wash. I plunge and scrub alot down here. Theres very few washers here so we just wash by hand. This is probably my last change here and I am just trying to work really hard to set up the next missionaries for success. Right now there are few struggles, which is excellent! The only struggle is that men here are really hard to get to come to church! I'm starting to realize is the ratio from females to males I've baptized is pretty lopsided. The bishop is pretty concerned about that because he wants to split the ward and we gotta baptize 9 men in one part to make it an elligible area to have a ward. We are praying to find the chosen but we especially wanna find families where men are prepared as well but man o man mom that is hard!
And cambios were 3 weeks ago! So this Wednesday i will start my fifth week (a transfer is six weeks) its expected that I will leave after this change unless Pres. feels inspired and wants me to stay for 6 months in my first area

Wellll not much to comment on other than this week was really truly another beautiful week in the mission! I hope eveybody at home is staying safe and loving life and taking every opportunity to get to know the scriptures, the gospel and our heavenly father=)

Yayyy im so glad a package is sent to me??? Oooooooyyyyy that is awesome thank you so much! The video of dad going down the water slide after zip lines, repelling and all is HILARIOUS and awesome! I miss dads scream and even uncle greggs estute observations haha. And Im glad you played tennis and I hope you ripped one at grandpa, someones gotta rough him up while im gone haha. Anyways mom HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I truly cannot describe what its like to be away from you for you birthday. Ya know i will have missed three of your birthdays after my mission?? I will have some major gifting and singing and hugging to do!!!! 

Wowow weewowow you guys got a portion of that hurricane!!! Its comforting that I had family a little bit closer to me! That's great that you are practicing your Spanish! I love the effort;) Those pictures are awesome! Love the warm rain photos. Here its just normal. Normal is that it gets light at about 5 but the sun isnt out and then it gets REALLY hot from 10-3 and then it cools down and rains at about 5 or 6 and stops at 9. Its awesome because we know the weather report every day! Its like this for about two more months and then it just gets super from christmas to easter (thats what everybody tells me.) I walk in mud alot but my shoes are doing great im thinking one of em has got at least three more months and the other one about 6:)Depends on how many dogs I gotta kick! :D 

Anyways how was church in Mexico? It looks like the missionaries over there are awesome! Y con saco!! Thats bold, we never wear our suit jackets down here. that. would. be. terrible... drip, drip - drench!

I love you all and Mexico looks pretty darn nice from the photos. Its crazy how i used to think mexico was poor! I gotta start sending pictures of outside the houses in honduras because i want you guys to really get a feel of this place before i leave!

LOVE Oooooddllleesssss and Goooooobbbbbssss!
