Awesome! Thank you so much mom!

I lovve seeing one of my cousins going to serve a mission! How wonderful and how great that she has overcome her fear of talking in church! how cool that she may learn Kazak too! I´m pretty jealous :) 

Good luck building up your jalepeno resistance, and may the odds be ever in your favor :)

Awesome! I am pretty glad that I won´t be there for that piece of work! But I can´t wait to see the results! How long do you think that project will take you? Congrats on the baptisms! Are there any others in our ward progressing?

I´m glad you had fun playing ascension with Dev, but it sounds like you must be loosing your touch. That´s another thing i´ll have to beat you at :)

Wish Ellie luck for me in her tournaments! Which position is she specializing in? Server, back row, front row, a corner? I´m glad she enjoys it!

Ok, that story is utterly hilarious! How funny! And Kate and Megan just laughed, how great! It´s crazy that Maren is already heading out!

This week our mission president told us that we couldn´t visit any members, so we had a 100% investigator filled week! It was rough because a lot of times we had spare time. But we filled that with contacting new people in the streets. It was a hard week, but it payed off and we found several new investigators that make it all worth it. With one of them, we contacted a lady sitting outside of her house and we asked her if she had time right then for a message about how our loving father in heaven has restored the truth of his everlasting gospel to the world. And surprisingly, she said yes! I say surprisingly because this hadn´t ever happened before in my mission! Normally we contact people in the street and they´re in a hurry, but this time was different. We taught her the first lesson and gave her a book of mormon to read and pray about. Unfortunately, she was only isiting and doesn´t actually live here in our area. But oh well, We´ll send some other missionaries over to visit her :).

The work of salvation isn´t always the easiest, But it is definitely the most rewarding.

It started snowing again today! Which is a huge change from the weather of this past week. Also, today is our day for transfers, but Kopsa and I will be sticking around here in Mezquital for another 6 weeks! Woohoo!!

Here are some pictures of our ward´s missionaries, and a guy in his donkey cart. I had to snap that pic really quickly, so i´m afraid it isn´t a very good one. But Enjoy!
