Familia!!!! Mi querido Familia!!!
I have a cool experience that happened to me and my companion yesterday. We went to go talk with one of our investigators and......he wasn´t home. But we saw a man walking across the street, quite purposefully, and we literally ran after him and introduced ourselves as missionaries and he said to me `you speak english? and I said si. He said my woman knows english. So we followed him to his house just around the corner and met his girlfriend. Her name is Dina. She lives in Arizona and came to tuxtla to see her boyfriend and is hoping to leave next week back to Arizona. We started talking and me in English because Dina wanted to practice English with me. I had a hard time right at the beginning and was speaking spanglish. But that ended really fast and I taught Dina about the Gospel. I said what do you know about Mormons and she said You don´t drink coffee. So then I was able to explain the word of wisdom and she also asked about tithing and she thought that we gave tithing to our church leaders to pay them for their service, but I explained that this is not so. And then we talked about the Book of Mormon.
It was so cool family!!!!!! She is very interested in knowing what God wants for her. She said she will will read the Book of Mormon and the pamphlets about the word of wisdom and tithing. She always said she prays everyday and night. We are going to visit with her again tomorrow and hopefully again before she leaves. It was just so cool. She said she would be willing to change her life if that is what God wanted her to do. I am so grateful that I was given this experience. Simply just beautiful. God is in the details of our lives. Always and forever.
Today we were able to do something fun for Pday! Well we went to a plant place. It was interesting - I didn´t really understand much because it was in Spanish - but I enjoyed just taking it slow. I have to go! Love you sosoosososososossooooooo much!!

Wowzers! 1/17/14
Hola Familia!!
First, I just love you all sooooooooooo so so so so much!!
Second, We had cambios or transfers today and Mi companion and I are staying put. And yesterday guess what! I completed 4 months in my mission!
Third, we had stake conference yesterday and I was able to understand a lot of it.There were so many people there. They had people seated one foot away from the pulpit and more on the stand because it was so crowded. They had to add seats while the talks were going on. This stake is just so focused on missionary work. Almost everything said is reach out to those who are less active or to your other friends and call the missionaries. Truly the work of salvation is the motivation for this area - the whole theme of the conference. The General Authority presiding Elder Rafael Apino - said something that I want to share with you. 1. Never, never, never, never, never think that God does not love you. He said this I think 5 times. My family always remember that God is there.
I love you all so much! Well gotta go!

Hola! One whole transfer! What!: January 6, 2014
Mi Querido Familia!
It is crazy to believe I have served 6 full weeks here in Mexico. So crazy. It was a hard one for sure, but I am excited to learn more this second transfer (which by the way I am staying put) way better with a little more faith and trust in the Lord.
Something that I loved this morning in my personal study: In 1 Nephi 15:8 it says 'have ye inquired of the Lord?' This sentence is so simple yet so profound. Jess you kinda talked about this in your email to me today. Sometimes we just forget or don´t think to ask God for some extra help or guidance or comfort or whatever we need. He is the source of all wisdom and power beyond any comprehension and knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows exactly how to comfort us and just what we need. It is so simple and I really just love it.
This week was good. We are still looking for more investigators and we have found some that are really interested. I know for certain that the Lord is in the details of everything! It is really interesting how we find people sometimes. For example, we helped this old man carry some heavy bags to his house and it was on this road we propbably would have never found and then we talked to this young man who lived on that road and he seems to be very interested in our message and we would not have found him if we did not decide to help the old man. And there were events even before that that lead us there. It really is just amazing. Well that is all I have time for this week! I love you all so much and wish everyone the best with school and work and enjoying every single day of life.
Love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
