Like a Fire is Burning

This week was really good! we have been working hard trying to find people and we found a new family! We were able to talk to alot of people this week and something interesting about this area is that EVERYONE knows about the church! 

Our ward has our own little church building and its in the middle of everything around here and everyone knows about us its cool and kinda hard. Cool because it's easy to talk with people but hard because everyone already has their opinons but that's okay!

Also I am now 1 year old in the mission! Half way done! Kinda crazy! There is a tradition - so I burned a shirt and it was awesome! I am happy and I hope my next year will be even better! I love you guys thanks for the support!

Cool times in the land of Mordor

This week was super good! I arrived in my new area and I love it! Its super green and beautiful! So the main feature of Monclova is that there are 2 huge factories that look like Mordor that are on the outskrts of the city. (Picture of Mordor included.)

And my new comp is cool, his name is Elder Rodriguez and he is from Mexico - like the state of Mexico. The area is cool but the other missionary who was here left nothing and we have to start from 0. But yeah I am happy. I hope all is well! This is the second time I have been with the elder Rezendez, he is the missionary in the other half of my ward. We were together in my first area, and he is comps with a new American, so I have to help him alot with translating English so that's pretty fun. But yeah the ward is cool, area is cool, comp is cool, I am excited to be here! I hope all is well over there in the good ol USA!

Baptism & Transfer!

This was a fantastic week! We worked a ton with Martin and he got baptised on saturday! He was very happy and it was a rather special experience he has had a lot of dificultades, but finally after 3 years of investigating the church he decided to be baptised! Elder Norseth came out to work with us on Tuesday, he was my comp like 6 months ago when my comp went home early, now he is asistente del presidente and he said I was doing a really good job so that made me feel good, sometimes its easy to get down when the work gets tough, but his visit helped me a lot. And today we received the changes, so tomorrow I will be heading out to Monclova! I have been in Saltillo for 1 year so I am excited to head out! Its sad to say goodbye to everyone but they are very nice to us and it helps a ton. 

So all i know about Monclova is 

1. in the summer it's like 125° outside 

2. They eat a ton of tortillas and coke

3. the people are super cool

4.It's super cold in the winter

I am excited! We will see what happens I hope all is well with you guys!

The Anger of a Thousand Lions, or a Chihuahua

Hello! This was an excelente week! Last Monday we recived a reference in my area that is one of my converts so we got to go vist her which was really fun! Umm Martin is progressing really well and we are very excited for him. This week we have been focusing alot on Martin but there are a few famlies that are progressing nicely with us. I really enjoyed conference this weekend I thought it was excelente! I really enjoyed all the talks! So well, next week are changes again so we will see what happens! But funny story from this week, we were with a family and when we finished their little chihuahua just attack my comp without mercy and without fear and with the anger of a thousand lions, it was super funny and made my day. Also so we got to watch confrence in English and one of the pictures attached was our tv. That tiny little tv was how we watched conference - it was sweet! The other picture is me on the bus. But thanks for the letters and support! Have a great week!
