HOLA!!!Okay so I am speaking a lot less english…thank you all for reminding me that I HAVE to learn this language.Marilina is baptized. She has completed the first step in her journey back to our Father in Heaven, how AWESOME is that! I was humbled at our Zone Conference yesterday. I have this big chip on my shoulders about people baptising kids without their parents. But my mission president reminded all of us that baptism is an essential step and that EVERYONE needs it. If they want it and are ready you have to baptise them, they are all children of God and he will provide a way for them to find a way to get to church. If they go inactive He will provide a way for them to come back. There was a missionary here who converted when he was a kid and never went to church after his baptism, then randomly a member started going by all the time and taking him to church and now he is serving a mission. Thank goodness for members who do their part!!! We need your help!I was feeling super sad right before I went to bed last night thinking about all the horrible things that happen in this world. But my heart is so full right now, I have NEVER been happier. These past few days have been wonderful and I think I am finally learning that no matter how hard life may get and no matter how strong the wind blows if Christ is YOUR rock you will stand strong in the hard times and see the beauty after the rain. We must stay patient in our afflictions. Alma 30:31 to the end is awesome. Read it.Life is WONDERFUL. It is hard and it really never gets easier but with Christ we can bare the burdens that are given to us. Stay strong everyone. I love you all with todo mi corazon. Thank you all for your prayers, they are well needed. I know that this Church is true. EVERYONE needs to hear the message of the restoration, now get out and share it!

Hey all! Sorry for the lateness, but we had changes yesterday, and we´ll i just got to my area this morning. Thats right. I am literally as far away as you can go in the mission! I have two areas Espinal and Agua Dulce, ones a ward and ones a branch, and they are like 20 mins apart, but I'm stoked. My comp is Elder Moscol, and he´s had some rough times, but it looks like we´ll be able to get out and do some real good work here. this area has had some problems here in the past, but I'm looking forward to the opportunity to be in this work. I'm stoked, its like a jungle here haha! Its super hilly and its just way different from the north part, I'm completely south. WE dont really have any investigators, or know any less actives, but we´ll just have to get out and find them. I even travelled part of the time here alone, it was kinda nuts, being like 1130 to 1230, but i stayed in papantla for the night and then came here after district meeting. But I'm ready to get out here in the middle of this litle pueblito and work! I hope everyone has a great week i love you all.
