What's up everybody?! How is everyone doing? Thanks for
the letters mom and dad. Mom you're right, it is such a blessing to be
able to communicate like this every week! I don't know what I'd do if I
had to wait like months between letters...Well it was cool to hear about
how the US did in the Olympics. Here is Mexico almost nobody knows
about them because their country basically doesn't participate. I'm
excited to be able to see some highlights later on. It was really cool
to hear about Talon's homecoming and how well he did. I'm kinda nervous
for mine because I feel like I can't talk about Gospel subjects in
ENGLISH! Haha...but really it's going to be weird. Thanks for letting me
know that many of my friends asked about me and said hi. That's cool
that you were able to go golfing Dad..sounds like the ski season wasn't
good at all! It's good to hear that everyone is happy and well.
Sounds like you're all dying to hear where the heck I
am and who I am with. Last Monday I said goodbye to many loved ones in
Mayorazgo and in my ward in 3 Cerritos. Luckily I got to say goodbye to
the families and investigators and recent converts and everything. On
Tuesday we had the transfer meeting. I was pretty nervous to know my new
zone, area, and companion. I am now here in the Nealtican Zone serving
in Nealtican! I started my mission in the zone, but in Atexcac, which is
in a different town and everything. I am now serving in the bigger town
called Nealtican as zone leader still. It's not a city or anything, but
it's pretty big. I'm with Elder Sanchez from Chiapas Mexico and he is
AWESOME! He played as point guard in the famous Benimerito High School
in Mexico City before it was changed to the MTC here Mexico. I haven't
seen him play yet, but I heard that he is really good. He is a great
missionary and we get along great. He has about 16 almost 17 months on
his mission, so I'm finally with someone with less time than me haha.
Like you said Mom, I got along with Elder Dzul and we worked really
hard, but at times he was a little bit serious and it was hard to be
myself. With Elder Sanchez we are working just as hard, but I feel like I
can be myself more with him. Nealtican is a famous little town here in
Mexico for it's many members. There are two stakes here! They call it mini-Utah. We have two wards that we are serving in at the same
time...the Reforma Ward and the Tetenco Ward. We went to 6 hours of
church yesterday...pheww. We are the only missionaries in the whole
mission I think that have two wards to serve in at the same time. It's
nice to be out of the loud and crazy city. I am closer than ever to
Popocatepetl!! It's right there! We had to find a house in an area
called Xilantcitla, about 30 minutes from Nealtican and up towards Popo.
It is the closest town to Popo there is! It is way cool up there and
reminds me of Atexcac. Anyway Elder Sanchez and I worked hard this week
in our two wards here. We have been working to find new investigators
and to put appointments with people. We have already had some great
ideas about activities and some awesome miracles happen with references
from members. We hope to put a great example for the zone and to
motivate, uplift, and help our missionaries the best we can.
I love you guys!! The mission is going by WAY too
fast it's crazy. I can't believe it. I feel like someone put it in fast
forward or something. I am going to do my best to keep working as hard
as a can knowing that the Lord expects nothing less. Do your best every
day the make a difference in the lives of those around you. Love God
with all your heart. God bless!
Con Amor,
