Hey Family! WEll Mom and Dad...
Well.........do I have a few things to tell you... Tuesday was zone confeence and does it feel like an eternity away. I went o bed at ... 1:30 or so last night so I´m... well vamos a say very very tired. Lol. I´ll explain why later. THe backspace is broken on this keyboard too, well it sticks, lol. So if there´s a few mistakes, sorry, = P
I went to zone conference and actually gave a presentation on the ´area book´ the book we use as missionaries to write down investigator information and stuff like that. It went very well, but the rest of the meeting as spiritually edifying as it was, and it was fantastic I could feel the spirit of the Lord so evidently. THe presentaitons were wonderful the testimonies, what president had to say, the comments it was all wonderful, many ideas to be a better missionary. The week followed with few few lessons, unfortunatley for a variety of reasons, traveling, service projects and other such situations. Cihuatlán, or the rama of Barra de Navidad is going to receive an excellent replacement and with Elder Perez, is going to change the current situation alla. We were teaching wonderful families and ther were wonderful people waiting to hear the gospel. A family of 7-9 and several other individuals. The church will grow and they have WONDERFUL ideas to help the branch. I´m very excited to hear in the next few months what happens there. However, it was not for me to do, I did my work. I would have liked to do much more, but I feel I left at least something. The members there are much more bonded to the missionaries. THey play such an important role in the life of each ward and much heavier in the branches. THe branch president commented to me as we talked about he branch that when they pulled the misionaries out more than a year ago (it was recently opened up again just before we arrived), he didn´t know what he wsa going to do. He felt he branch would die that it was going to fall. Fortunately it did not. This week they´re going to have a wonderful activity for the misionaries that has to do with he plan of salvation. A plane for Hawaii crash lands in the ocean, there are no survivors. THey are all now spirits and go the spirit world and then view the 3 degrees of glory. It´s going to be wonderful. I can´t wait to go back after the mission! ANd hitchhike!!! Lol! Well, now I am currently writing from Ciudad Guzman. With elder Nichols, hehe. I know what you´re thinking. It´s going to be so much fun, we´re going to do alot to help eachother out here. I don´t know a whole lot about it here, just that we went to Sorianna and now we´re in a ciber and it´s 9:20 so I´m going to go. But it´s BEAUTIFUL here, it´s totally black cloud covered and cool COOL weather. I can´t believe. That and as I feel like I´m going to fall myself asleep here, I´m going to role. THere´s alot to say, but I´have to include it later... WAIT!
I do have a little present for you. Lol, check out Walmart.com again I just loaded 150 photos. Enjoy!
Love Love Love,
