Well
you all seem to interested in the fact that it was 5 de Mayo yesterday,
but really here in Mexico it's not that big of deal. Here in Puebla yes
it is celebrated because it is the city where the battle took place,
but everywhere else in Mexico it is barely celebrated at all. Here in
Puebla there was a big parade on the 5 de Mayo street in town, but it was
Sunday, so we weren't able to go at all or anything. Other than that
I've seen some people having like family parties or dinners, but really
it's probably celebrated more in the states haha. The huge thing here in
Mexico is 16 de Septiembre because that is like our July 4th. Anyway
how is everything going for ya'll? Sounds like it's been nice up there
for a while. So you say you've been taking the dogs on walks...does that
mean Jazzi is still alive?? haha. Hey Dad I thought it was interesting
to hear that you take the frontrunner up to SLC everyday now. I bet that
it a huge save on gas money+you don't have to worry about traffic, and
you can relax on the way there. All in all it sounds like a good change
to me.You mentioned that you were at work at 6:30 sharp does that mean
you can get there faster too? Mom thanks for reminding me about the
temple tour we did together, I have some really fond memories of that
time with you too. I miss the temple. I wish that I could go. It's a
great place to be. You guys should try and get there for me alright? :) I
got a wedding invitation from Ashely in the mail. It looks good! Hey Ty
sounds like he's doing well. I'm going to write him an email back after
this. Wow I can't believe that Cordell cox and Derek Childs received
there calls! The ward is going crazy right now. Good stuff.
Well this week was great. Probably one of the best
weeks so far on my mission as far as missionary work. We got 2 new
investigators this week and in the first lesson with one named David
Salamanca, we invited him to be baptized and he accepted to be baptized
this Saturday the 11th!! He is one of those that has completely been
prepared by the Lord. We're just there to teach and invite him to live
the Gospel. Apart from that we put another baptismal date, taught a
whole bunch of investigators and have been receiving a ton of great
referrals from members. It was an awesome week. So this week we are
going to be trying to contact and start teaching a lot of the referrals
that we've been getting, and get everything ready for David's baptism.
It's awesome. This week we had some good lessons with the Beltran Leon
family and everyone came to church this week except for the Dad. We had 5
investigators in church which was great. Some sad news about the
Estrada family is that they ended up moving this weekend to a apartment out
of our area...oh well I'm sure with time they will start listening to
other missionaries and be baptized. I'm excited for next week!
Love you guys! I can't wait until I'm able to skpye
with you on mother's day Sunday!! Be ready with some good questions! The
Church is true. This life if tough, and sometimes things don't always
go our way, or we mess up, but that doesn't mean we should give up. We
can always move forward and improve thanks to the Savior. See
you next week!
