hola a todos. espero que esten bien.
well this week was so hectic! we really struggled towards the beginning of the week to find new people to teach. but friday my companion and i decided to fast so that the Lord could help us find people he had prepared and sure enough the Lord pulled us through and we found a lot of people that day.
all of our progressing investigators with baptismal dates came to Church this past Sunday and in total we had about 9 investigators at Church. It was a big blessing from the Lord and he has continually helped us. the members in edinburg 2nd are awesome and are willing to do their part to help us with missionary work. Claudia and Jr were baptized last night at La Vista it was an extremely spirit filled service. elder o connor and i are grateful for this opportunity we have to be missionaries in the lord's work.
well one day we went to ______ house. she was feeling sick and she hadnt fed her grandchildren. since she doesnt have electricity or running water she usually cooks outside in a bbq pit. we helped her chop up some wood and started the fire for her. we helped her out. it was a really windy day and the whole time we had sand blowing in our eyes and it was just really bad. i wish there were more that we could do for this family. but i have given them the thing that i treasure the most and that is the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
well i can't believe December is here already this week! pretty soon I will be able to call home and see how everyone is doing.
I love you all! Take care.

Hola a todos!
Well yesterday we had the memorial service for Elder Strong and Elder Walker. It was a very nice and spiritual service and I did feel the Spirit of the Lord in that place. I know that this work is truly the Lor'ds work and that he is h elping us accomplish great things in this mission.
I can't believe Thanksgiving is this week! It seems I always say this but time is sure flying by right now. We had a very good week. We were able to find a lot of prepared people who are ready to accept the restored gospel of Jesus Christ right now.We had about 8 of our investigators at Church as well most of their children. My companion and I had to take care of three rows of people. It was awesome being surrounded by all of our investigators and being able to attend Church with them. A lot of the members are really nice and caring and willing to help us with them. I am glad for that.
We will be having two baptisms this coming Sunday. I am really excited for that!
Well not much has been going on besides that we are really working hard in this area. My companion is a great guy and I really can't wait to see what the Lord has prepared for us next transfer. Tomorrow we will be having our new companion training. We will see how that goes.
Well I love you all!

Hi everyone.
Well one of the saddest weeks in the mission has come and gone. Tuesday night two missionaries were killed as they were riding bikes in Weslaco. Elder Strong and Elder Walker were some of the best missionaries here in the TMM and will be missed. It just made me realize that are lives are really precious and short and that everyday we must do our best to help the Lord's work advance here on earth. I am in a car area and so I don't have to ride bikes and really can't afford to because my area is really big and its out in the country. So don't worry I am safe either way. This past Sunday we had a mission wide fast for the Walker and Strong families. They should have arrived back home this past Friday.
But the work is really moving along here in E==== North. We found a lot of people to teach this past week as well they accepted the invitation to join the Lord's restored Church. I am really excited to see some of these people come to Church and receive many of the blessings that the Lord has in store for them.
My new companion is great. He gets quiet from time to time but I think that it is because he is getting used to the mission. As well he is the only member of the Church in his family so I"m sure he thinks of them from time to time.
Well I can't believe we are halfway through November already. Christmas will soon be upon us.
Take care everyone. I love you!

hey how's it going everyone!
Well my new companion is here! He's a convert to the Church to (he's only been a member for a year and two months!) and he is really excited to be here. He is from Nevada. We had a pretty good week although we werent able to get anyone to church but he really didnt have a problem with that. I know that this week we will have a lot of success all we have to do is keep working hard and letting the Lord guide our work everyday. I really have felt that I have drawn closer to God as I rely more fully on him to do this work.
Tomorrow will be my two year mark as a member of God's restored Church! I am happy for that. These past two years have been full of ups and downs but I know that the Lord has taken me all the way here for a reason.
Well one thing that has driven me crazy for the last few days is not knowing what is going on with the political race. I know that Mitt Romney is leading the Republican field right now and that Obama isn't doing so great. That's crazy to think because about two years ago Mitt Romney didnt even have a chance. So far we really havent gotten any comments from people about Romney when we are contacting but I am sure that we will as the election draws closer.
I hope everyone has a good week!

So I will be training a new missionary! He arrives here tomorrow and we should be companions for at least 3 months. I am really excited to train. Well the work here is moving along and we had a really succesful week. Today is Halloween so we wont be going out to work only for an hour and then we have to be indoors from 7pm onward. Well I hope that everyone has a great week.
