February 13, 2017~"He Gave His Life So that You can Change your Life"

1.  This week is transfers....I am sure you are staying since you just got there, but what about Elder Johnson?
~Actually I am leader de zona now (Zone Leader) hahaha.  I'm in my Zone just in a different city called Tacuba.  Tacuba is a section of northwest Mexico City and Elder Johnson left to Toluca.   My new comp is Elder Osorio... me and him are good friends.  I sent a pic of me and him last week. 

2.  So you still have trouble sleeping.  What did they tell you to do?
~I have oils that a member has that help me sleep but everything is good with that.

3.  What is the suit like that you bought?
~So I sold the blue suit I had and bought one cheaper but better.  Its blue but a little lighter and has a cool design inside haha.  It was 35 dollars.

Yeah soccer is fun.  I want to to play other sports as well but its alright...I don't have a lot to choose from.   The jerseys are cheap but I won't buy too much.  The car looks nice... you did good with the choice.  I want to see snow because it was the first year without snow haha.  Yeah we help Maria out and the teddy bear is awesome.  She is super spiritual and good things will happen with her. 

So this week we had a conferencia estaca (Stake Conference) with President and it was really good and with Elder Pieper and with the President of the temple... it was super good and I loved it.  They talked a lot about the fasting and the love we need to have. After well our investigatores were good and we set 4 fetchas (baptism dates) but I left and Elder Johnson left as well so it won't count for us but it was a super good time with them and I loved the área.  I'm sad to see it go but I'm looking forward to the leadership that I can bring and hopefully we can change the misión. Also what was funny was Elder Edwards told me where I was going because he is the new AP in the misión.  He is nervous but I'm excited for him.   I'm looking forward to this change because Elder Edwards and I will get to talk a lot because the APs talk with the Zone Leaders and Elder Lipscomb and Elder Bradley and Christenson are zone leaders too.  We are all in the city so we will see each other a lot and in concilio (council).  That was really  it ...just saying goodbye to the área. Oh Elder Osorio is from Honduras.  He is awesome.  He and I were good friends last change and now we are companions.   He likes the beaches alot and his story is awesome.  His mom passed away in a car accident and his dad had to pay a lot of money to other families that lost lives in that crash and so they haven't had money but his Friends are super good to him and take care of him and they have a company that helps the poor.   He is a super good guy and I'm glad I was put with him honestly.   Well that  all that really has happened this week.  Have a good week and do good in the baseball tourney.  I love you!!!!!

Elder Cleverly

One of the members in this last area makes teddy bears to earn money.  She
sent me this picture and said that she likes to make one for the missionaries but
since Ryan knew how to sew he sewed his own.  She said that Ryan and his companion would
help her sweep and do chores around the house because she has a bad back.  She was grateful for
their service and willingness to help.

Buddy missionaries with their Mission President, President Grossen

This is his Mexico Mom, Maria...the one that makes the Teddy Bears.  She took good care of Ryan and watched over him.  So grateful to her for her kind heart!
