August 7, 2017~"Service is the Real Key to Joy"

1.  Will you still go to the same church building in this new area?
~yeah haha... its super close its just that the APs are in Castorena now and Zone Leaders in Anahuac!

2.  What is the place like that you live in in this area?
~its not as nice...I mean its not like Granjas or Tacuba but its alright... its just not Castorena haha... we miss Castorena a lot

Thats sweet that I will see Dar and Nola and when I do I will take a picture with them... hopefully soon!!!!!  Dang honestly I miss 2 a days because it was fun but I didn't like doing it while I was there haha.  Thats awesome to hear that Stock is hanging out with good people!!!

This week was pretty crazy.  We have been working a lot trying to find people to teach because we weren't left with anything and so we are starting from scratch again but it was fun this week because we worked hard and we found people and even though we had only one investigator at church it was a successful week and so I was satisfied with the results. 

Our area, our Ward is where the Seventy lives in Mexico, Elder Pino.... so we talked with Elder Pino and we will be eating with him on Wednesday. Elder Pieper and Elder Valenzuela of the Seventies live there also and the Ward is the smallest in the Stake. There were only 45 people at church this week and in Castorena there are 150 so there is a big difference and we hope that it gets better.  We still haven't settled down because we are still running all over the place to help the Zone because there are five areas that are being opened up but that's alright because I know our area and I can work here.  It's a challenge but I hope that I can show that through our hard work anything is possible and that we will see the miracles from the work. 

Today we went to the "Mysteries of the Monks."  Its a place of straight silence and so it was cool to see that and also there was a movie filmed there called kilómetro 31.  I don't think I have seen it but I know what its about and I went there haha.   We will have our Conference this week and we will be talking about Love and Faith because that is what our Zone is about so we are hoping that we can have a good conference.   The mission has shown me the importance to always be a witness of Him.   We are trying to change the culture here in our Mission... to have a Mission of Zion, a Culture of Christ... to have the love for the Gospel and for others.  I know through our love for Him we can do anything and that is why I am here on a mission... to help others find the love and the happiness to follow him... to love one another.... to walk in the sun all day talking to strangers, keep the commandments, to preach His Gospel because we love him.   Thats about it so  I love you and I hope that you have a good week!!!!
