Quick Email

M!! whats going on. thanks for the email,this week was another one of those weeks that just made me happy. we had a pretty busy week this week. i feel like everytime i start a letter, its always the same! haha. anyways! wells to start off, we were suppose to have transfers last monday,but they changed the time stay in the MTC`s so we had this transfer last for 7 weeks instead of 6. so today was the day of transfers! you will never where i am right now!!! you want to know, I am in CUZAMA!!! thats right, none of our district changed this transfer, which is awesome, because just means more time with the people i love in this area! my companion is still Elder Foster from Utah, we are doing a lot better each day! This week we had a 2 day training meeting in Merida, so we stayed in merida 2 days, tuesday night and wednesday night, and went back thursday in the night time. in these training meetings with president and like 5 other zones, its was crazy awesome and spiritual and we learned a lot of things to apply in our areas! my comp and i tried a different way to help the members understand the importance of the sabbath day, and as a result, a lot of less actives went to church this sunday! it was great to see them refill themselves spiritually! i have come to know better of the sacrament each time i teach it, and have come to really understand more of why we take it, and its not really a tradition but its literally for our souls! (3 Nephi 20:8)  to be spiritually filled. wells its like, if we didnt eat food for months, what would happen, we would die, and the same with our spirits, if we dont eat or drink the body of Christ or the bread and water for months, we would be spiritualy dead!! i challenge each and everyone of you to keep filling your spiritual stomachs so you wont become spiritualy dead.
This week we had a lot of rain! like always which got us soaked but ill tell you one thing, i had a poncho so i didnt get as soacked, the rain would find a way to fall and then curve back up under my poncho just to get my pants wet! but ill tell you another thing, me socks were dry because of my new pair of shoes!!!! in which i love more now! haha. 
this friday we had a bid family home evening in another pueblo named Telchaquillo as a ward put on by us 6 missionaries in our district, to ty to strengthen the unity as a branch. and we watched zions camp, becasue it was a message directed to them, but after we played some fun games that EVERYONE enjoyed! and we ended with refreshments/ hot dogs. because its not an activity without food! am i right! :D 
during church yesterday, well before it started, we went with another member in his moto taxt to pick up a less active, and as we left back for the church, her dog followed us all the way back to the house of prayer, or our church house. hahaha. as church started, the dog just walks in our house and just chilled under one of the chairs, one of the members said, aww "the dog just wants to listen to the word of God" haha, its was funny though but the dogs down here are sick and infested with stuff, but after the 2ndhour, we see fleas crawling on the floors and on the walls, and we hurried and took out the dog, and started cleaning everything before the fleas would start spreading more. we hope we got all of them, because if we didnt, they would be getting on our hammoks as we sleep at night and we will become just as invested as the dogs, so keep praying that we got them all because there were a TON!! hahaha. 
after church we traveled to another one of our pueblos names Huhi and we visited our awesome investigadors there. one is a teen of 13 years old and he read a the first 11 chapters of the BOM!! i was soo happy!! 
IM sorry for the short emial, but our bus leaves in like 15 minutes to go back to our pueblo! ill send some pics next week! but i love you all and have an amazing week!!
LOTS OF lOVE!!
