Week 42

Dear Mom,

Thank you very much for the photos and the letter. I am doing alright. This special transfer has been a really good experience. Elder Rivero is awesome. He´s from Mexico, a town in the country called Hidalgo. I still can´t get over how cool it is that he´s from Hidalgo. He also is an awesome missionary who always looks for the positive in every situation and doesn't let stuff get him down. Here are a few photos of him.

The areas are doing good. We had a baptism in Los Polmares this past weekend. Her name is Chrismelyn, Elder Rivero and his latest companion did all the teaching but she´s awesome. We had a great experience talking with her parents, they actually received the missionaries a while ago but his job doesn't permit him to attend church, but he is still very supportive of his daughter's decision. Hopefully, Chrismelyns conversion will open the door for her family!

My investigators in La Victoria are doing well. Traveling between area´s we´ve lost a lot of proselyting time which is not good but we´ve managed alright. Were working with Hanzel, a young man of ten whose Dad is in the process of reactivation. We arrived a bit earlier to the appointment and talked with Hanzel a bit which was great. He´s a quiet little boy but has a big heart and I think is a lot more attentive than he gets credit for. We asked him what he remembered about the plan of salvation. He flipped open the pamphlet and showed us the picture of Jesus in the Garden of Eden. We talked to him a little bit about Jesus and how he is super important to us. In the end, the main thing that we each need to understand is how important the Savior is in our lives. How through him we can be healed, feel peace and happiness in our lives. Anyways, he also reminds me a little bit about a certain strawberry blond, blue eyed boy back home. 

I love you mom, hope your week is amazing with everything. Thank you for your love, your patience and long suffering, and your example of loving and trusting in the Savior,

With love,

your Son, Elder Call
