Staying the Same

            
Enjoying a nice meal!






This week was the last week of
transfers. I have received my transfer, and I am staying exactly the same. So I will be here another 6 weeks! This past week we have started to see more things start moving. We had one boy, who`s family is all members except him, now he wants to get baptized so we will be working with him for a few weeks now. But it has been a good normal week. We are hoping to find more people to teach, or families, but we are working for that, and the lord will provide. We have so many blessings here in this life to help us progress. I love the Gospel. I am happy because I have a new nephew, and he is a little fighter, I had a little bit of nerves coming up to his birth, because I could not be there. But when it got closer, I had peace that everything will be alright. 
I Love my family so much.

 Hola Como Estas? Estoy muy bien y feliz.  
It is really good to be here.  Sometimes it is stressful and sometimes I feel terrible for mistakes I make.  But it is wonderful to see and hear about miracles.  Last week I received a Letter from Elder Baldarrama.  He talked about a little kid named Mario.  And every time we were in his neighborhood Mario would always say “Hey! Lend me 5 pesos” And Elder Baldarrama always said “Nah! Get Lost!”  But it was really funny to see this.  And we ran into this kid about 5 times a week.  But I got transferred, and transferred again. But Elder Baldarrama is still in Villa Del Sol. In his letter he said that Mario showed them his family, and now the family is investigators. It was really nice to see that and hear about that miracle.  Now I am in Bonampak it okay. It is very hard to have members in our lessons, and have them help us with the work.  So that has been a hard part in this area.  Today is my Birthday and it has been Good, I am writing this in the morning.  So after studying we will pick up my package.  I don’t believe I have anything special planned later today.  Also Transfers are on Sunday so I am not sure what will happen.  I have my feelings but I am not going to say anything about it.  J I love you so much and thanks for everything.  I pray for you guys every day, and hope everything is well. 

“Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me. I am Jesus Christ. I came by the will of the Father and I will do his will.” D&C 19: 23-24


Happy Birthday Boy

Conference Weekend


 Imagine how happy we were to get a text on Conference Sunday from someone who was with Elder Stabenow watching conference.

This week went great, we are seeing people progress it is so great to see that. We will keep doing our best. And what a great conference we had. So inspired, and so many great messages. I Loved Thomas S. Monson´s talks, I really enjoyed his comments about our choices and how they are of eternal significance. I loved that fact that we have the power to become the person we want to be. This gospel is great and what an enriching weekend. We have been doing great here in Bonampak, and I love that I can be here preaching. I hope everyone got something out of conference and felt the blessings of this restored gospel with a living day Prophet. I have so many blessings before my mission that I failed to recognize, but I recognize them now. I know I am so blessed with so many things. I love you guys, count your many blessings, and keep working, changing, and progressing.
