​Well something I'm learning now is the value of time. We've had an eternity to learn and grow and study and now we've only got about 80 years maximum to put it all to practice. We've only got one lifetime to choose to learn and know our Heavenly Father. I'm really grateful for the chance I have to be here and to learn the importance of our lives the smallest decisions we make. We only have so much time to study and live and make decisions it makes me want to make the most out of my time in the mission so when I return I can be know how and be prepared to teach my future family. Plus that's what I've been thinking a lot about lately, the gift of living a new day everyday and how we should enjoy each one.

¡Hola!

Wow the cart looks great! And yeah the carts an awesome job if you can find enough events. This year I literally forgot all about the 4th haha, oops. But it sounds like you had a blast. They do a lot of fireworks here but mostly just bottle rockets and more in Ocosingo, my old area.

So this week we started visiting all the members and sharing with them Alma 6:6 which teaches us to fast and pray for those who don't know God. We've been inviting them in their personal prayers to pray specifically for the families we visit. I'd like to invite you guys to do the same but with people you know specifically in your ward. If right now you don't know anyone who is investigating the gospel to pray for I encourage you to look for someone and invite them to mutual to church with you and then make sure to include them in your prayers. Prayers make miracles when we do them right so really think about what your praying for and how you want God to answer your prayer. I know God answers prayers and is always ready to hear us. Thanks for everything fam and have an awesome week!

Con Amor,

¡Buenas Tardes!​

 Wow! so it sounds like los chuncos are doing great!​ And I know what you mean. I started bringing my notepad to all the church meeting and zone meetings and its amazing how much more you take out of Sunday's when you take thorough notes. That's something I'm going to want to do when I get back home.

 Elder Carreon and I  and getting along really well, he's 19 and from Puebla and he's a really really good missionary. Very humble and has a bunch of awesome ideas to help the ward. This cambio is going to be awesome! XD

This Sunday we weren't able to leave the church until 6 o'clock because we were waiting for the Bishop who had some important things to do. We were driving back thinking about who we need to visit when we get out of the truck and start walking down the sidewalk when we hear a women yelling "Elderes! Elderes!" Obviously we turn around and talk to her and she was crying because her baby has been sick with a fever for the last four days and she couldn't get him medical attention. She brought us to where she had been waiting in line to get her baby looked at and gave him a blessing right there. The baby stopped crying during the blessing and by the time we left you wouldn't even had known he'd been sick. It just makes you appreciate Gods hand in our lives and that when we need to be somewhere he provides the way.

Anyway thanks for the letters and the love and thank you family for your example to me growing up, I love you all so much!
