 Last week in the MTC!!


Can't believe it's already another p day.  Time is going so fast, its crazy.  It feels like I've been in the MTC for 5 months but it also feels like its only been a week.  

Not a ton happened this week so I will keep this email pretty short, and I don´t have much time because we are going to the temple today!!  I will have a better email next week cause ill be in Saltillo baby!!!
First off, conference was AMAZING.  Conference in the mission is one of the best things ever.  Not only is it a break from classes all day, but we get to hear from the General Authorities.  I have never payed such close attention during conference before, and I learned so much.  It felt like all the talks were written just for me.   

Thank you for all the birthday wishes! You guys are  the best!  It's always fun having conference on my birthday.  My district sang happy birthday to me 19 times throughout the day.  I'm pretty sure everyone is the MTC knew it was my birthday lol.  It was so embarrassing haha!  My parents sent me a huge cake and got me a bunch of presents! My fav one was for sure the ipod shuffle, and the speaker.  They put a bunch of Spanish music on it, so I blast that all the time haha.  Also shout out to everyone who sent me a letter wishing me happy birthday.  It really meant a lot!!

Next time you guys hear from me I will be in Saltillo!  All the natives tell me Saltillo has the best food!  They also say its really really hot so that will be fun.  They also say it is muy bonito so that is a bonus!!  I can't believe my time in the MTC is coming to an end!  I leave at 3 in the morning on Monday!!  I am so excited to share this wonderful gospel with the people of Saltillo, and bring the joy and happiness of the gospel into their lives.  I love this work so much, I have never done anything so hard, so joyful, and so fulfilling.  There is nothing better than the lords work!  I love you all and I am grateful for all of your prayers and support.  Until next week!

  The best week of my mission!!!!!!! Hello everyone!  I was super super nervous for this week, but it turned out being one of my favorite weeks in the mission so far!!  So my old companion Elder Lorenzo was made zone leader here in Neuva Rosita, it was sad to see him go but ill still talk to I'm all the time because he is my zone leader!!  My new comp is elder Diaz and he is from Argentina!!  He has four months in the mission, so we are both super new, but we are killing it!  This has forced me to learn my area really fast, and I realized I know my area a lot better than I thought.    This week I have realized, that my English is starting to go downhill haha!  Sometimes I forget how to say something. Or I don't know how to use the correct grammar!  Kinda crazy haha.  Now I don't know English or Spanish! sometimes ill be talking to another American missionary and I will start talking in Spanish without realizing it!...

UNA SEMANA MAS TERMINADA (Another week down) Hola everyone!! Everything is going well here in Sabinas!  We are working super hard and having success each day!  We got two more baptism dates!  Their names are Jose and Rufina!  I have a strong testimony that the lord truely does prepare people for us to teach. Things are also going really well with Gerardo, he is the one I'm teaching in English.  He can speak English because he used to be a drug dealer, (narco) and he drove back and forth from Mexico and the united states transporting drugs.  He truly has repented and he has such a strong testimony.  When I first started teaching him he reminded me of Joseph Smith.  He said, all these churches claim they have the truth but they all teach different things.  I explained that Joseph Smith had the exact same question, and I taught him about the restoration and Book of Mormon in English!  He is the only person I have met he...
