Es la felicidad de uno

wow another week has flown by.

This week i`ll have 1 year in the mission! wow i cant believe it. I cannot believe that a year ago we were driving to the salt lake airport and i was so nervous and now ive got a year as a missionary. The time really is flying by.

Anyways well this week we had a good week, maybe not as good as last week but im still pretty happy about some of the things that are happening here in this area.

First announcement is we are moving houses this week. Really the mission doesnt like have 4 missionaries together in the same house. So yeah we are separating. Truth is im pretty sad to separate from the hermanas because it is so funy living with 4 and now im so used to it that it will be a little weird to just live with my comp but apparently our new house is SUPER nice....and we get the new house so im pretty excited about that. I think we are moving tomorrow morning.

In church this week we had 3 people in church.

First is Carlos Chafoya. He now has like 5 times that he has attended church. He really is super great but he just want to feel a little more confident in church. He doesnt like feeling new and like he doenst know what is going on. He really wants to learn how to sing the hymns so we are going to help with that haha. I think we can help him to have a baptismal date here in the next 2 weeks for sure. We just want to be patient and not pressure him so much that we lose him. but hes great.

Also Julio Casarez came to church again. Oh what a character. We are going to wait more time to help him get better from the side effects of his addiction. But really he is so great and so hilarious. Whenever we ask him a question he always starts by saying "Es la felicidad de uno". I think im going to remember that saying for the rest of my life..no matter what happens with Julio. Ive really learned the gospel is really simple....the gospel really is "la felicidad de uno". To give you an idea of how crazy julio is with the side effects was apparently he couldnt even get out of his bed to walk before we met him...but now he can walk...but he falls a lot. But we had success because he only fell 3 times in our walk to church on sunday....HAHAHA. But hey hes getting better every day. We`ll keep working with him because he is always waiting for us to visit him.

Also we had Manuel Mejia in church. This was his second time assisting church. Manuel is really great...and ALWAYS giving us food haha. He really likes the church and everything. But now we found out that he needs to marry his wife. So this week we are going to talk more with his wife and him. So we`ll see what we can do to help him. Manuel has a lot of friends in the ward who have had major changes in their lives through the gospel so he really likes that.

Also we have a few other people we are visiting. This last week we found an investigator named Rosie. She is probably liek 20 something and she is pregnant and she lost her mom like 2 years ago. When we found her she said she felt spiritually down. We have only visited her twice but she says in the two times we have visited her she has felt much more peace in her life. She doesnt feel ready to go to church quite yet but i think if we have a little patience with her she`ll go. Im excited to teach her.

Anyways Im just enjoying the last few weeks with my comp. Its almost obvious that i will be staying in this area another change. Also yesterday we atteneded the baptism of the elders of a teenager Giovanni who we started teaching and then gave him as a reference to the elders cause he lives in their area. But it was a great baptism and he was wanting a picture with us and everything. Its great to know that sometimes we just need to help find the people and plant the seeds.

Anyways i love you all tons! Thanks for the emails and for everything!

Love you,
