November 16th, 2015

This week flew by and to be honest I feel really old! My knees hurt but guess what! It does not really matter! Because I enjoy the mission so much! This week we had a great conference with president, we taught a new family and we had a bunch of people come to church! We also taught so many people! Being a busy missionary is the best because I just feel like I am the Lords servant, and the Lord has a busy Schedule! I’m so happy for the Book of Mormon! It’s such a powerful tool to help us become better!

So the knees do hurt, they make that crackling sound now, I feel like I’m seriously becoming like my mom, stair climbing with my knees and ankles popping ha-ha but I love the good workout and I know that the Lord has sent me here because he has something planned for me! We are teaching three family’s and to be honest its really tiring, I love teaching Young family’s, but trying to teach and listen to screaming children that run around and throw things is really hard to do.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that the spirit leaves, the contrary, the spirit is always there when children are present, they give the best answers and parents always feel like they need to help their children.  When we teach the plan of salvation its the best when little kids are running around, its the eternal perspective of the family! Why would I ever wish to teach a lesson like that without the kids present! That would be foolish!

The H. family is doing well, Karen is fighting the smoking addiction and I hope she can make it!  She is smoking 4 every day, but she was smoking like 20, so I have the faith  Her kids are the best and to see them all at church is awesome! Juan Manuel, who has a walking problem, went up with Nortia and they sang in the primary program! It was so awesome and it moved everyone to tears to see Juan Manuel walk back to his mom smiling.  It was the icing on top of the cake for my Sunday.  They are progressing and they are all dying to be baptized.  It all depends on Karen, if she quits smoking then they all get baptized, if not then they don’t, for now, but they can do it! Lets go Herrera family!

The S. family is the family who are the most prepared to get baptized.  Daniel was a Jehovah witness before and he is very happy and ready to be baptized! His son Jorge is the funniest dude in the world; he loves soccer so much that it makes me like soccer even more! They are firmly set on getting baptized and we are getting ready for their baptism.  They don’t want to be baptized in front of a bunch of people "the 29 is stake conference" and our mission president will be there so it would be sweet to baptize 6 people! They are very happy-

We are also teaching the F. family, they are the best and the kids have all beem baptized, but the mom and dad no, why? Hahaha thats what I thought as well but then we found out that they had to divorce their other spouses before getting married to each other.  But they believe in everything and they accepted a baptism date for the 13 of Dec. Vamos Valpo!


Really guys I love teaching family’s, I hope that every day the family may be a part of your lives, keep striving to be the best you may be!

I was so glad to get in a jumpsuit for service!

We both finished our Rabies shots this week!  The battle was nuts!



Well I got my last shot from South America!

P.S.  the nurse was a total hipster, I can’t believe she let us take pictures!

After many tears, the shots are over
