I'll Be Gone in Obregon

Hey Everyone!  I am happy to announce that Huatabmpo Branch has a new, faithful, very excited member. His name is José Roberto and he was able to enter into a baptismal covenant this past Saturday!  We met him on the street headed to work when I decided to follow some advice a wise friend had given me and had Hermana Salas contact everyone posible in the street for about half and hour. He was the first person she talked to and when we came back the next day, he told us that he had almost been baptized baout a year ago, but that he hadn't been able to because his faily sent him to a rehab center the week of his baptism. Now, a year later, he was more prepared and more excited than even to enter into a convenant with the Lord. I seriously love beign a missionary!  I've also been gaining even more of a testimony of the Bok of mormon as my companion and I have been reading together in te mornings and dang, the Isaaiah chapters are way cooler than I remember...

This week was really awesome. Really awesome. in district meetign about two weeks ago, we were talking about how hard we were working and all of us flet like we had been underperforming and underachevieving recently and we decided to set soem pretty epicly large goals for how har dwe anted to work these past weeks and the entire district really took it to heart and we gave it our all th3ese past two weeks and dang I am tellign you I have nevcer worked so hard in my mission nor have I eve thoguh it was possible to work so hard here but I am absoultely lovign it!!  This week, I also started Presdient Nelson's challenge to read the Book of Mormon befre the end of the year and decided to start outlinign and mark up a copy of it and I've never realyl been one to color and mark my scriptures too mcuh in the mission, especaily the ones I use in lessons I don't rreally know why but I've never really 100% loved it, but I'm very much enjoyign markign up the pages ...

I love you all and this is actually all I can write today because we are super late writing today and have a teachign appointment in like, 15 minutes. but I love please remember that and I ma serioucly so sorry. I promise to write a very nice loing letter this next week.

Hi Everyone!  So, as I am serving in Mexico, you could say I'm "serving among the Lamanites" as I am in Mexico, but more than anything, this scripture applies more than just to Thomas Marsh, it applies to every single member of the church becasue it is a reponsibility tha we all have to share the Gospel with your friends, families, and neighbors. So, as I write this or whoever reads this to you all I want you to think about how this also applies to you nad how you can fulfill these blessings.  I'm going to take this part by part starting at the beginning of sectin 31.  The first few verses talk about how Thomas Marsh´s little ones will be blessed and know the truth. When I came on my mission, I had a testimony, I knew what I was teachign to be true, but I wasn't sure how I was going to be able to relate to the people here in Mexico and the perople I was teaching seeign that I grew up in the church wit an amazing family.
