hay almas para guiar

Muy buenos dias amigos y amigas! This was a pretty good week here in Independencia! It wasn't as hot as last week so we got a little break from the heat and we were able to make a lot of big strides with our friends! Some strides backwards but necessary steps! Divisions with Elder Garcia Zona Martinez The Funeral To start off, like I mentioned last week we had MLC on Tuesday! Monday morning we drove down and spent the day in Xalapa! We went to Plaza Animas first and had some great food, and like last time I ran into some friends from my time in Xalapa! We also used some of our day shopping in Plaza Americas and in this little alley in Centro called "El callejón de Diamantes". After a good nights rest we studied the talk President sent to all of us and headed to the Council! There are a few new Zone Leaders this transfer, one of them is and Elder that was already Zone Leader before and has come back to the assignment. He's actually my mission brother (his trainer was E...

Our fort we made to funnel the air conditioning to us! Irvin's baptism Member gave us a drink for the heara called "Perro Salado" salted dog. This cat while we were eating!

¡¡Muy buenos días!! This week flew by like a blur, not really sure what happens but I'll put down what I got!!! Us with Elder Buer! This week we started off pretty hot! We put a few baptismal dates and had a few visits with some missionaries in the Zone who were struggling and lent them a hand and let them know that we love! We also got some help from President Day, we had our interviews! They were probably the best interviews I've ever had!! It was our last Interview/Conference with President and Hermana Day, and they were great!! President gave me some great advice, and I just want you all to know that you are enough! We're not perfect, but we're enough for right now! President and Hermana Day are awesome and are going to be missed in my interviews!! The day of the interviews we had the chance to go on Divisiones with one of the Assistants, Elder Buer! Elder Buer was actually here in Independencia about a year and a half ago, so he was pretty excited to be back where ...

Bueno bueno!! This week has been awesome! We've seen some awesome miracles here in the area this past week!! Some of our friends after we placed a baptismal date with them! To start out the week on Tuesday we set up a Family Home Evening with a family that I mentioned a few weeks ago. It's a family of four, the dad is a member, but the mom and the two kids aren't! So this family went to church for the first time together about 2 weeks ago, it was pretty awesome! But when they were there they didn't have the chance to talk with a lot of members or really get to know anyone. And we always make sure that our friends in teaching have friends at church. So we set up a family home evening with them to introduce them to same families! It was a big hit! We had it in the house of the Relief Society president who lives close to this family, which was perfect because they're practically neighbors! We arrived right before 7 with the whiteboard from our house, and then left to g...

    Hola hola!!   Wow, it's been a great week here in Independencia! The first week of the transfer just flew by! I won't waste any time, so let's jump right into it! English class! So first things first, we had transfers last week! It was an interesting experience because President changed the day of transfers! Before, we would receive our transfers on a Sunday, pack on Monday, and travel on Tuesday. But now, we received our transfers on Tuesday night, packed on Wednesday, and Traveled on Thursday! I'm not exactly sure why we changed the transfer set up, but I guess we'll see how it works through this week! That also means that I was going to be coming home on a Monday, January 29th, but now I'll be coming home on a Thursday, February 1st! My mission has officially been extended one more month haha!! Anyway, we received transfers, everything in our area is the same. I'm staying in Independencia with Elder Perez another transfer! That's is perfectly fine...

  Hola holaaa These past two weeks have been so great for us here in independencia! We've been working hard and seeing great fruits! Book of Mormon on Aloe Vera, which can do more healing? So to start off, this week we gad MLC! We traveled to Xalapa Monday morning and arrived at about 2pm, so that gave us plenty of time to have a cool P-Day in Xalapa! We went to Costco, and Starbucks, and the mall, all the basic Xalapa stuff haha! But the MLC itself was amazing! It was focused on one big thing. The Book of Mormon! President Day was telling us that he has been pondering about the thing our mission lacks, he said that there are other missions in Mexico that are the same size but are consistently helping more people be baptized. And he said that he discovered that the answer is The Book of Mormon. That's what our mission is lacking to take it to another level! He focused on 4 point in specific:  1. The importance of The Book of Mormon. 2. Our responsibility to share it and l...

  Hola hola! Well I don't have anytime for a real email, I'm headed to MLC right now! Next week I'll have a nice long email talking about these past two weeks! But just to give a little teaser, we've seen many miracle this week, the lord is with us. The bucket is tipping in the area and we're ready to be the instruments in the Lord's hands. I love you all and I'll have a good update this coming week! -Elder Garnica My comp and I bought the same watch!
