Happy Easter! 
April 2nd 2018

I hope you all had a great conference and Easter weekend!  Its always such an amazing opportunity to listen to the words of a living prophet.  I encourage you all to continue studying these talks over the next six months until the next conference, because these talks are literally the words of the lord. Was here, he would have told us the things we heard this weekend.  

   I haven't written in a couple weeks so ill update you guys a little bit about whats been going on!  We had changes last week, and Elder Leija and I are still together!  I also got called as a district leader!  Its gonna be a great opportunity to serve the other elders.   

   We have some awesome investigators, first we have José and Elisa.   What really caught their attention is how we talk about how families can be together forever.  We had a lesson with them in the church on Friday then they came to conference with us on Sunday!  It was amazing to have them there, way better for investigators to listen to a prophets voice than mine haha. 

   Last night we were contacting, and we found an amazing couple.  They knew more about the bible than us, but they don't go to any churches.  They say they are observers of religion or something like that.  We taught them the restoration, and the husband had the scriptures memorized that we were sharing with him.  He knew about the restoration and he knew it was going to happen, and he was so excited when we shared with him that the original church that Christ established, has been restored.   He believed everything we told him, and he was talking about how Joseph smith really was a prophet, we gave them a book of Mormon and they were really excited to read it.  Ill let you guys know what happens with them because they seem really promising.  

   I hope you guys all have a great week, always remember to do the small and simple things, they make a huge difference over time!!

  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...
