Special transfer! Ucum!

9/12/2016


Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing great.
This week was an interesting one on Wednesday night I got a call from the AP´s and they said that i need to pack up my stuff and go to Ucum, so now i am here and with Elder Marchant. I have already met him and he is finishing up his mission this transfer. I don´t know what the changes are for but it was between 3 pairs of missionaries. But I am here and it is a cool place and I am excited to work here.

 I was sad to leave Elder Alger and José Maria Morelos, but I am needed here now. I hope everything goes well here and we will be finishing this transfer hard for Elder Marchant. 

To be honest I have been great and really blessed. Thanks for the love and support, it means a lot.

I love you all!

Still In José Maria Morelos!

Hello Family and friends.

I am still here in mi Pueblo.


But now I am with Elder Alger, He is from Bolder City Nevada. He only has 2 more transfers then he is going home. But I knew him from my first transfer and I have not seen him since until now.

This week we got to open a little group to our branch, there is another village 3 miles from ours called La Presumida and we got to do a sacrament meeting there, because it is difficult for them to go to Jose Maria. But we had some investigators come to the services and it turned out very well. It was great to see that.

I am excited to stay here in Jose Maria Morelos another 6 weeks, so we will see how it goes.

Thanks for the love and support

The Elders and Alia

Week 41

I don´t have that much time, but we are having really good things happing here. We had 5 investigators at church, and this week we will have the baptism of Alia. I finished the book of mormon for the second time in my mission. Everytime I read it i feel better, and I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon and the power and peace in brings in our lives.
I hope everyone is good. I love you all and have a good week.

This week was good, unfortunately Alia and to go to Merida to see her grandpa before he past away, But when she returns she will be baptized. But this last week was a good last week in Bosque 3
Now I am in José Maria Morelos and I am with Elder Gardner (from Utah, and his last Transfer). It is a village, but it seems really good here. The people are very humble here. I am excited to work here.
Thanks for the Love and support, and sorry for the short letter.

Week 40

Happy Birthday America from the elders!!

I hope everyone in the states are having a great 4th of July! This week has been an alright one. Sometimes there are just things that happen, but i just needed to keep going and just accept it as a way to show my faith to god.

We are doing well, we met the new President, his name is President Reynoso, he seems like a great guy and he will do some great stuff for this mission. And also he has a Brother in Law who is the Mission President of My cousin’s mission.

We are still seeing good progression here with the investigators.

I love the scriptures and I know they are a blessing for us, so that we can receive comfort from up above. Thanks for the love and support.

We are seeing great things happen and we are always working hard on finding people to teach. I hope everyone had a great week and I love you and thank you for you love and support

Week 38


This week was very good. On Saturday we had our last Interviews with Our president. It was an amazing experience and I am so grateful for him and his wife in my life. They are great examples of who we should be and what we should do in this life. On Monday we will be getting President Reynoso I am excited to work with him soon. In the Zone Conference we had a lot of fun things happened that made it such a good day.

We are seeing some geat progression here in Bosque 3 and things are going well. Thanks for the Love and Support

Week 35

This week was very good.

A week of some small miracles. We are seeing some good progress with people and we are finding some new people too.

This week we were in one part of our area that was a little far, I felt to ask a guy for direction for a street, and after I ask I found out that he was drunk. He was really drunk, we got caught up with him for about 20 minutes or so. He made us say a prayer, and he also offered a prayer also in the middle of the street. But he wanted us to visit his family, so we made an appointment for Sunday. We arrived there, and at first the guy (being sober) just was talking about things in general about god, and we were not able to talk that much. But we then offered to sing a hymn, and say a prayer. And after we sang the hymn, and said they prayer, and they became really reverent. The spirit brought such a nice feeling in that room, it was a very nice experience. We are seeing good progress here.

 Thanks for the love, support, and prayers.

Week 34

Elder Stabenow and Elder Kenison

Transfers! I am staying and I received a new companion. He is my first american companion in the mission, his name is Elder Kenison, and he is from Utah. 

This week has been good, we have been working hard, and we are seeing progression. I have have felt a lot of peace this week, a lot of happiness. It is something so nice to feel the spirit in my life. It is great to have this gift as members of the church. I hope everyone is feeling the fruits of the Holy Ghost. 

Yesterday we had elections here so we just stayed in the house after going to church and eating lunch. It was alright, I watched devotionals, but it was a little long for me. I can`t believe on how fast the time has gone.

 Just Choose Happiness, Endure to the End while Enjoying life to the End, and it is always our decision if we are happy. 

I love you guys, I hope and pray for the best for you.


Thanks for the Prayers
