hello family. well i am now officially in the mexico merida misión. which means i was transfered from Valladolid to a Little town outside of Merida called Caucel. It’s  pretty good. I’m leader de distrito and I’m kinda nervous for that because  i  have never had a leadership position before besides being a trainer. but they say district leader is one of the hardest so I’m readay! haha if there is one thing I’ve learned it’s that the Lord helps us fulfill our callings. the new house is pretty good. It’s clean and  my new comp is named Elder Juarez. he is from Houston Texas and is pretty good. it was a pretty hard leaving Valladolid especially for the people and my comp because we got pretty attached but i guess that’s just how the misión goes. it was really hard to say goodbye to the converts but         we said that we would see each other in a year when they get sealed in the temple. i am so glad that we have eternal families. it is so important. Well its been pretty crazy up until now but I’m going to try and write something interesting. It’s just that so much happens and you have so much going through your mind when you get transferred in when you get transferred. but oh  well. Lets see what could i say...well idk haha I’m loving the work and I’m excited to have a new fresh start in a new  área with a new comp and Ward.

adiós i love you guys

mother thats true what you said about all the stuff with moving and everything. it defiantly makes saying goodbye easier when you know it’s never forever is you live the gospel.

Michelle I’ll   look for a bag like that is should be able to find one. and  nothing out of the normal except in my old house for like 2 weeks a bird was trying to get into our house by running into the window haha it was prettyfunny because it was really bugging my comp and he got really mad haha

Thanks for the message about judging and all that. It’s very true what you are saying.  I have been Reading Jesus the Christ and I remember how you said that the way they read it on the cds is pretty cool. when i get home I’ll listen to them haha but I really like the picture you sent. I’m really glad you helped me to have such a strong carácter.  You did it by pushing me and giving me a good example. thanks!!! I’m glad you are able to go on more motorcyle rides. its pretty fun to hear the stories.  Are you going to go fishing this summer well adios

To: Janel Coffman <janelscoffman@gmail.com>

well how is everything going with you guys? it sounds like all is well. i´m doing good too. i have a pretty strong feeling thati´m going to get changed this week so it´s kinda weird thinking that this might be the last pday i have in valladolid. i´ve really grown to love this area and the ward, the streets, it feels like home. this has definitely been my favorite area so far and maybe it´s because i´ve had a lot more responsibilities in this area. the people here really are amazing. i guess maybe i especially feel that way because of how you have now changed homes back in utah so now i don´t really have a recognizable place to return. well i guess that´s how the lord´s work or i guess life in general goes haha at least when i get done, i´ll have my family especially my mother(: haha but this week was pretty good. it has been pretty rainy because of the hurricane in chiapas and it´çs been nice because now there isn´t tanto calor haha except when we go in the taxis and they have the heat on because the taxistas are cold haha we also got to do some service and i´m really grateful that you guys taught me how to work hard and use tools and stuff like that. we also found some really cool people and i think that our hard work is now starting to pay off because now people are going to church. i love seeing people come in to church as a family, or as an individual. i guess you could say that standing in the door way and waiting for people to come in to shake their hands is one of my favorite times of the week.

i guess the message i would give to you guys this week is the joy and peace that the Gospel brings to our lives. i say that because as we did contacts in the street this week people generally started to have more interest when we talked about that. i read in the teaching of joseph f smith that peace is what the gospel can achieve. when people say they wish for world peace, the only way it can be universally achieved is if everyone fully accepts the restored gospel of Jesus Christ because the first two mandamientos have to do live loving God, and then loving everyone else. well i love all of you and i love the Lord. i know this church is true because i have felt it in my own heart. i have seen changes that the gospel can make in peoples lives and i know that these changes would be impossible if this wasn´t Gods true church and gospel.

adios mi familila. los amo

mother these small and simple things are something i love talking about. i wrote aunt priscilla. içv very grateful for her. i´m glad you like the new ward and that you get to plant. i loved doing that too and i use the skills to help us out love you
