  Acuna! Hey guys I'm writing today because our pday got switched to Wednesday for just this week!  We had zone conf this week and we went up to Acuña!  Its about three hours north of Zaragoza.  It was kinda cool to be in a city instead of a little tiny farm town for a couple days!   We got to Acuña on Saturday , and that night we had the first night of district conf and President Cahoon and one of his counselors spoke and they were both amazing talks.  We stayed at the zone leaders house each night and it was a party.  little hard to sleep at night though, my comp sleep preaches every night all night and the assistant sleep yells hhaha it was super sick though.  5 Elders in such a little house haha it was so fun.   On Sunday we had the second day of conference and that went super good.  Pres Cahoon spoke again, it was super good to hear his council four days in a row.  He truly is a man of God and is constantly receiving revaluation for the mission, after

  Zaragoza!! Hey everyone hope you are all having an amazing day!!  Thanks for all the emails and all of your support!!!  Zaragoza it sooo awesome!  Our branch has about 25 people on average coming to church each week!  We definitely have some room to improve haha!  Its super green here too so that's pretty sick!  Our apartment is super nice!  we can walk out and there is this huge patio type thing and its on the second floor so its a super cool view.  We use it to work out so that's been fun!  Huge step up from my house in Sabina haha!!   My new comp is super sick!  His name is Elder Leija and hes from San Luis Mexico!  Hes a cool kid and he looks like a Mexican version of logic if you know who that is haha! He likes to skateboard and play soccer so that's pretty sick! He is also the first Mexican Ive met who likes indie music haha so that's pretty sweet. Sometimes we argue about the dumbest stuff haha but I love the guy so much.  Hes been helping me

Transferred!  Hey guys!  I haven't written in a couple weeks forgive me!!  A ton of stuff has happened and I don't know if i'm gonna be able to remember all of it.  First off, I'M GETTING TRANSFERRED!!  I have been in Sabina my whole mission, i'm gonna miss this little town!!  lots of good memories here in good ol Sabinas.  I'm excited to see more of Mexico though and have a better house haha.  My new area is called Zaragoza if you wanna look it up.  Its a little town in the middle of nowhere haha.  I'm super excited though.  Spanish is starting to come along!!  I am dreaming in Spanish off and on, and sometimes i get confused if someone is speaking English or Spanish, and my English is slowly getting worse.  I had to look in the dictionary the other day to see how to say something the right way  so that's been fun haha.   We had zone conference a  couple weeks ago and that went super well!!  It was a really simple message but super po

Walking By Faith Hey guys I only have a couple minutes to write so I'm gonna keep it short and just share one experience!  A couple days ago, we had a great day planned out with lots of appts and people to visit.  We didn't have any appts before lunch, so we just contacted.  After lunch, we went to our first appt and they werent there.  We we were kinda sad but it was still fine.  We contacted some more until our next appt, and they weren't there.  We were getting a little discouraged, we started knocking some doors again, and we got a call from one of our investigators, to change the appt to a different day.  We were just standing there in the street thinking of what to do, a little discouraged, and I just started walking. I had no idea where I was going, all i knew is that i was going somewhere, and I knew if i had faith the lord would lead me to where i needed to go.  I had a feeling we needed to go to the very top of the street we had been contactin

¡¡Feliz nuevo año!! Merry Christmas and happy new year everyone!!!  I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and new years.  It was so nice to be able talk to the fam!   I may or may not have cried little lol. I don't have a ton of time this week so I'm gonna keep this email pretty short!  We have changes tomorrow but nothing is changing for me!  I'm gonna be with Elder Diaz again so I'm excited for that!  On Christmas eve we went caroling, then came back to a members house and all the elders had a little Christmas themed lesson planned.  Then we ate this super good dinner.  Their brother in law is a chef so he cooks for us all the time.  On Christmas day we woke up and did a little shopping cause it was p day, and i opened a couple packages from the fam!  We got to talk to our families, and it was soooo good to talk to them for a little bit.  I was pretty home sick after though.  Super super home sick.  I was having a hard time, but then i started
