Hi Mom

I did get my backpack this week and everything was there so that was a relief. I had alot of things in there. I had a baptism yesterday the man that got baptized was extremely prepared. His name is Guillermo and has had econmic problems lately but even through these trials he's had he stayed strong through all of it. He knew that the Church wasn't a charity and that by getting baptized his problems weren't going to magically go away, but he knew that all that would come later if he stayed strong. Lots of things are happening now that's good for Xio I hope that this baby comes a little better this time. Wow Dallin is so close now I hope that he enjoys his time and works hard that's the only way to get the best out of your mission. You'll have to send me a copy of his talk so that I can read it over and you'll have to send me his MTC address too. I really am happy that we'll be able to talk in the tongue of our ancestors when we get back. Thank you for all you do Mom you've always taught me what is right and I've been able to help lots of people thanks to that. I love you Mom I'll talk to you next week.

Hi Dad

Didn't catch your letter last week but thanks for writing anyways. I have had a pretty good week and have been giving it my best. It sounds like yu guys were busy too last week. I can't believe that everyone is getting so big. Chaz is already on his mission and Dallin is going soon, Kayla is already 16. I was looking at a Christmas card that the Luna family sent me and I can't believe how big all the little ones are. Kenyon's already 17 and he's gonna start driving soon it's completely crazy. Time goes by so fast and I can't believe that so much has changed and it feels like I just got here. That's good about family scripture reading it helps so much in all that you do and you learn so much congrats and keep up the good work. I don't have much else to write this week but I will write next week. Thanks Dad for all you help me in. I love you take care

Hi Mom

Thank you for everything that you do for me I really appreciate it. Kayla can't be sixteen already that's way too fast! She was 12 the last time I checked. Wow anyways I have been working really hard lately and have been giving it my all. Toluca's not too easy but the work does come and I had a baptism this weekend so I can't complain. I really have been enjoying the time in the mission lately I feel good and time is flying right by. The 30 th I have 18 months in the mission I can't believe it. I sent Abuelo an email last week so I hope he read it. The mission office should have my backpack and I hope that no one took anything from there. I won't know until next week so I'll tell you later. Dallin is so close! I can't believe it it is super crazy. He'll love the temple it's an experience you'll never forget it's been more than a year since I have gone but I still rememer everything. Anyways I will have some pictures for you next week I'll see if my companion can pass me the pic. I love you Mom and I'll say that prayer for you this week. Bye I'll write more next week.

Hi Mom

This week we had a pretty good start to this transfer we have some pretty promising people and are looking at 3 baptisms this week. We found a few really good people this week and are hoping that are going to be future baptisms. I don't have details right now but I will give them to you next week. I lost my backpack last week and my camera was in it they found the backpack they say but I just hope that the camera is still there by the time I get it back. That's good for Dallin I really hope that everthing falls into line for him and that he can really get ready to be ready for this experience. I have been really studying hard and ahve been thinking about the sacrifice that the Savior made for me especifically every time that I read that in my patrirchal blessing it makes me think about what I do here and that that is my purpose help him to save souls. I really want to finish my mission well and that's what I'm going to strive for these next few months that I have left. Ok enough of that I don't want to bug Mom but I have been waiting for a little money, if you can't send any that's fine but I was kinda waiting on it. If you have to choose about what you send out please send the money instead anyways I really don't have much else to tell you about this week I love you Mom hope that everything goes well for you this week.

Hi dad

Toluca's good I guess I really didn't expect to be back here again but it's ok and things aren't half bad. I invited a person to be baptized this week and he accepted it's exciting to hear that, but the truly exciting thing is that he hadn't accepted a baptism in 20 years! It was a pretty memorable experience for me after I found out. I was completely clueless for about those 20 minutes we were in the lesson because my companion hadn't explained to me what his situation was and I was seeing that everybody in the room had a surprised look on their face. Anyways he gets baptized this Sunday and I am going to send pictures of that home. I think this is going to be a good transfer for me and my companion we already have lots of work and are going to keep it up. I think that President sent me out here for a reason and that I'm going to be a good instrument in the hands of the Lord. I am so happy for Dallin and that he has this great opportunity to grow and learn I know that I have learned alot and have grown alot. The 30 th of this month I have 18 months in the mission and only 6 left time goes by extremely fast and I do want to end on a high note so that's my goal for now. Thank you Dad for the counsel that you give me it helps so much. I love you hope everthing goes well with the reception center.

Hi Mom

Thanks for Abuelo's email I think I will shoot him an email this week. I hope that you can all get organized and get all the work done soon. That's great about Dallin I haven't had too much time to talk to my president so I'll see if I get a chance this week. We had a baptism yesterday it was a super crazy day but it all got done so load off my shoulders. We had changes today I got moved to Toluca again so if Ricky comes with the package he'll just have to take it to the mission office. President put almost all of the most experienced missionaries in my zone this change things have been really slow lately so I hope to be able to change a few things around here. I've felt really good lately I've learned so many new things and I feel good about my work. Yesterday as I was saying good bye to a few people almost all were grateful with me and what I had helped them do. It was a really good feeling to see the gratitude on their faces. Thank you for the example you've always given me. I love you Mom take care and I'll talk to you next week.

Hi Dad

Crazy stuff it's down to the wire now if he don't get his stuff in soon he'll be waiting in another mission probably in Utah a while so good luck. The patriarchal blessing is such a guide to me I've been reading it alot lately. It really helps in difficult times. Speaking assignments are no biggie now usually I have a about 5 minutes of prior notification and then I just have to wing it, so I think that 2 weeks is plenty. I miss yard sales the are the best for finding what you need for cheap but then again Mexico is also good for that the only thing is that I'm on a limited budget so can't splurge much. Anyways another transfer in Toluca again but we'll see what happens President put all the old farts out here because they're tanking out here in numbers. I really didn't miss Toluca all too much but I think it'll be a good experience I'm set on breaking new grounds out here. I love you Dad not much else is new take care.
