Merry Christmas from the Zona Chetumal!

Week 61

This week was really cool, First off we went to Playa for our conference. On the way there we took a taxi to a back to take out money, and my mistake and also the taxi drivers, i left my bag in the taxi, and we had to go playa without it. So we said a prayer and everything, but we had to go. So luckily a member gave me a suit to use for the meeting. I got to meet the Area President of Mexico, Elder Piper, the conference that we had with was amazing, we really felt the spirt there, he was a very kind man and really taught us a lot. After that meeting we went to ADO the bus station and i got to see the Higgs family there, It was such a surprise to see them, it made my day. 

Just to inform you guys that the taxi driver did notice my bag in his taxi and he went and dropped it off at one of our churches in Chetumal, so i will get it back on Thursday. 

The week was great,

thanks for all the love a support, Have a great week!

Unexpected Visitors!

Elder Stabenow had a few unexpected visitors today! A family from our ward was vacationing in mexico and they saw a few missionaries and asked if they know Elder Stabenow,  They told them that he was just down the street at a Bus station.  He just happened to be in that area for a zone conference. What a fun treat!

Busy Week and Lights Out!

Elder Stabenow and Elder Reyes

This week was really good. We saw some good things happen this week. We were able to have some people accept a baptism date and they are really progressing really well.

Some other events that happen this week is that we took a trip to Ingenino which is a town an hour from Ucum, and yes our area is that big, but we basically work in 2 towns and if we have work in the others we go there as well. But Ingenino is not the end of our area we could have gone another Half an hour to reach the end.

Here in Quintana Roo there are no mountains, but i heard at the end our our area we can see the mountains of Guatemala. We are also very very close to Belize it’s about 10 minutes from us. But over all this area is one of the prettiest.

Also in the Photo our lights went out! So it was really fun to have a candle night.

I hope everyone is having a great day and I love you all and wish the best for you.

Keep on Going!

Lights out!

Letter from 2 weeks ago....


I am very happy about this week, we finally had some investigators go to church and some that could be baptized very soon, but we will wait and see. But it has be very nice to see how the lord works in other people. And it was a blessing to see a few examples this week. That is one of the blessings of the mission. Seeing the lord work through others and preparing the way and the hearts of the people.

Many times we are walking in the sun all day, but I am okay with that because of the things that we witnessed this week.


Thanks for the love and support.

Big Changes:Trainer & District Leader!

Elder Stabenow with his new Companion Elder Reyes and his very first Companion Elder Calderon!

Hello everyone.

I am now a Trainer and a District Leader! My new companion is called Elder Reyes. He is just off the plane and is very excited to work. I am really excited to work with him.

It has been interesting to see one missionary ending his mission and the other beginning, they both teach me new things.

This week in Ucum we received a lot help from the members in the work that makes us super happy. I am very excited for this transfer,

thanks for all the help and love and support.

One Year Down!!

One Year!


How Crazy is that! On my one year mark Woke up just thinking a lot about a year ago and what a difference I feel. However my companion was not feeling so well so we went to the doctor in Chetumal and we found out he has Salmonella. So he needed injections for 4 days so I had to learn how to give an injection to someone, and it was not in the arm or the leg, and I believe you know where I am talking about. Haha!

But back to the 1 Year I have learned a lot, but I still have a lot to learn, but I am so grateful for the lessons that I have learned and the Blessing it is to be here in my mission. I am now just looking ahead and trying to make it the best mission I can. It’s up there, up ahead and that is where we need to face. Look for you mark which is in Christ.

I love this blessing to be in the best mission in the world "La Misión México Cancún", what a blessing it is to have a mission in my life.

I know this is Christ´s Church. We have a living day Prophet and Apostles, Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God, and through him The Church was Restored!

I love this gospel, I know we have many people to help in this life. Thanks for all the love, prayers, and everything else that you have done for me.






Thanks for your support

Elder Stabenow and Scooter!

Sorry for the big picture it is the only way to upload pictures at the internet cafe here.


But everything is really great here in Ucum. This week we were basically setting ourselves up for the next week. But we are working hard on finding new investigators. But everything is really peaceful here. Its a really calm place in the mission and i love it. This week we also had a Noche Mexicana and it went really well. It was actually one of the first activities in this Branch. It went really well and we believed it helped a lot of people there.


Thanks for the love and support that all of you do!
