Well just hittin you up once again on this wonderful Pday. It sounds like you all had a lot of fun this last weekend. Mom has a permaheadache and dad is just chillin trying to get a bite to eat. I am happy to hear that all is well and that dad is still working. It is incredible to see the blessings that you both have recieved through your generosity and your conribution to the building of the Lords kingdom. A little about my area. Yes Mom is has cooled down a lot and I wake up in the morning with the cool air. It hasnt rained for like 2 weeks but it is usually pretty cloudy. Finally giving my nose a break from the dang UV rays that keep jacking me up. Also I cant remember what it feels like to have seasons, I just know hot now days. My area is doing good though. We have several people that we are teaching and we expect a few more baptisms this change. My comp is getting the hang of things. I sometimes have him running behind me cause he still isnt used to walking so much so I have to train him somehow right? I am not going to slow down so he can catch his breathe so he is learning quick. He really tests my patience though. Today I had to clean the whole house by myself while he slept. Yeah I tried to wake him up and yeah I ripped him apart but he just laughed it off. I just let him know that the next week he will be cleaning the house alone. We work good out in the streets but in the house I want to drop him at times but oh well I am sure I will be able to control myself. Yesterday was an interesting day. We had several people in the church but something interesting happened. So a family showed up looking for us. They came from a pueblo like an hour away and came to our church cause it is the one that is on the temple grounds so that came and asked us to do a blessing of a house. We start talking to them and they said that last week a boy committed suicide in the house and it hasnt felt the same. They said they had heard things and were seeing things so we agreed to go out there to bless the house. We showed up and started talking to the family. They were catholics and had a huge frame with the Virgin and candles and stuff. Anyway so I started saying the prayer and it was weird cause I started feeling weird things. That is when I let the spirit take over and if felt like I was on a tower like nephi in 3 nephi when he was praying and all the people were watching. I dont know how to explain it but after the prayer was done I felt so good and the family said their house felt completely different. I dont know what was there or what I felt but I felt the power of the Lord work through me and I loved it. Mayra and her boyfriend went to church. She is awesome and is praying and has received many answers and has felt the spirit. I am thinking that today we will put a baptismal date with her. Also Jeni is still doing good. Her family let her back in the house but her mom just abuses her now and yells at her and doesnt let her leave. She hides her book of mormom though in her coat and reads it every night. She is probably the strongest convert I have ever seen. Also this last weekend we had an activity in the stake center. I was miguel hidalgo and got to give the mexican grito. I just had to get everybody stoked to go to war so it was tight. I just started yelling spanish stuff and telling them all that their country needs them. Yeah never though I would get stuck with the main role of a mexican play but it was way tight. Well family I know this church is true. I know it is the only true church on the earth and the Lord is our leader. We must have the faith in Him to be able to move on. In ether we read that miracles always come after the faith. That is one thing I have learned here on the misison. Always after a trial of faith comes a miracle. I love my God and my mission. I love all of you.
