Hola
Familia!!
Thank
you for writing me :) I always love to read your letters. That stinks about
your leg Kasey. Hope that it heals up soon! Sounds like everything has just been going
great. I am doing great!! My new comp is Awesome! His name is Elder Lopez and is from Ecuador.
He is a great worker and sooooo cool hahahahaha. I hope that everything goes
great in this change. I feel like we will have alot of success. That is awesome
that the boys are going to get some merit badges this weekend! I hope that they
have a great time. I hope that you are all ready for school and stuff hahaha.
Well
I will just get to the point of my email...and why I put down that subject for
the email. On Saturday, a family that I Baptized in Haulcaltzingo went to the
Mexico City Temple and got Sealed. The
sister, Lorena got her Endowment. It was great news!!! Even better news is that
my comp and I got to go!!!! Hahahahahahha it was so sweet! We got permission to
go to Mexcio City and go to the Temple to see my converts get married and Sealed to each other and their little baby boy. It was such an experience. I
wanted to send pics but of course there is not a place to put in my memory card
so I can’t :( I don’t like the internet
here hahaha. It was so awesome!! The Spirit
was so strong and I felt like I recharged myself spiritually! It was the best day of the Mission. I could not help but cry as I saw Hermana
Lorena and Hermano Pedro get Sealed and especially to their little son. I was
so happy.

After
we left the Temple...around 5ish we went to eat tortas. After we ate we went in
a bus to the station and I counted my money and we did not have enough to get
home. We were a little worried but I said a prayer in my heart as well as my
companion and we felt so sure that we were going to get home. We got to the bus
station and we checked our mission credit cards...nothing. I checked my card
from home....nothing hahaha. We started walking...more worried and we heard a
man yell behind us "Mormones" hahahahahaha. We turned around and it was
a brother from here in Tlaxcala in our stake and we know him. He asked us about
why we were in Mexico and we told him that we went to the Temple. He was
walking with a bag carrier and told us to contact him hahaha, and as we
contacted him the brother left to buy his ticket, but our prayers were answered
and he bought us tickets as well!! We
got back to Puebla and he bought us pizza as well and him and his wife drove us
all the way home. My comp and I were so surprised and we gave so much thanks in
our prayers to Heavenly Father. It was amazing.
I don’t know how in the world we found a
brother in the biggest city in the world, from the smallest state in Mexico,
from our stake who knew us and who has money. All I can say is that God loves us and watches
out for us. I know that He answers every prayer. I am so grateful to Him.
Our
investigators are doing great. The
Familia Minor is just doing great. They still have not gone to Church but they
have the desire to be Baptized and pray and read to know. We have been visiting
alot of people and doing alot of teaching. We are having alot of progress and
we hope to Baptize soon again. Everything has been going just great. This week
we have to go to Puebla for the Zone Leader Council. That is going to be sweet
like always. I am excited for the work.
It’s
going to be hard to go home but I know that God will help me to be able to keep
working in His work as long as I am faithful. This is a Church of workers not a museum of Saints
who just go on Sundays. We have alot of
work to do...in our wards, stakes, and in the Temple to be able to help God
finish His work and glory. The most
important work we do is with our families. I am dedicated to love and cherish my future
family so that God can work miracles through us.
I
hope you all have a great week!! I love and miss you tons!!
Love,
Elder
