" Remember press forward with a steadfast faith in christ!!"

Whats going on fam!! i know its been a while since i wrote for this blog an im sorry. i know im a slacker when it comes to this stuff. hit me... its sure a good thing im here in mexico! haha. Everything is going well here! and yes we did have transfers like 3 weeks ago the first day of february! and i am stil here in Cuzama en el pueblo, but my compi went home, echeverria already finsihed. but my new companion is Elder Foster. he only has like 7 months in the mission! he is from Utah! we are both going pretty well, we are like 2 peas in a pod. i love it here in Cuzama. the first week of february, they had a huge carnaval here for a whole week. so it was like a party in the pueblo and nobody was in their houses becasue they were all in the center of the pueblos in the afternoon! haha. but it was cool to see some of the events that passed here. i got to touch a bulls butt!! haha, it was close to the fence. it was a bull of our recent converts and he invited us to see it! so it was awesome! haha. sunday i gave another talk, we pretty much have to give a lot of talks here. haha. but i also teach the gospel principals class every sunday, and last week, i was giving an example of how innocent kids are and had a book of mormon and a stuffed bunny, and i called Matias who is an adorable 5 year old, and told everyone that he would grab the bunny, and so i called him from our primary bedroom and he came out and i told him to pick one and he picked the Book of mormon. and i thought to myself that was a complete fail, as they were laughing. and then like 10 seconds later he comes back out and tells me, that he didnt want the book of mormon and that he wanted the bunny instead, and so we switched and i pointed to my class and said, "HA"! my example worked. its was a funny moment. we are activating a less active member here that got baptized a long time ago and she recieved a testimony again as we taught her the restoration, so she is now comeing back to church now and that was soo awesome to see. 

did i tell you that we were in another pueblo and we saw a van full of utah mormons,  their license plate even said utah. and they all rolled down their windows and shouted HI ELDERS!! haha, it was super awesome to see them! 

we are also prepping out recent convert nelson chale to recieve the priesthood of melchezedek! i am soo excited for this family, i love them soo super much!! last sunday, our power went out becasue we didnt pay it. we just forgot, it always happenes to all the missionaries becasue we just get soo busy. have you ever tried planning in the dark! yeah it doesnt work! haha. well ima go because ima see if my computer is fast enough to send pics t send you!! i lvoe you all soo much, and remember press forward with a steadfast faith in christ!!
