mom-o-six, nana-o-five

hey all! well this was a great week down here in Veracruz! We had a baptism this morning early and it was quite an experience. She is an older lady and has a stomach problem which made it possible for her to go backwards for the baptism, and it was quite a struggle, but she got baptized and was so excited that she could do it after. It was great. We have also had some great lessons, and learned some lessons this week. There is a saying in spanish, echando a perder se aprende, or something like, ruining it is how you learn, that's not very good english i dont think. But im learning from my mistakes and learning how to do things better and more efficiently. Things are going great we have a great companionship and the work is fun. Lots of new things going on still with the division of the mission, but we are all learning and seeing miracles. In my old area 3 investigators i had found are getting baptized today or next week and it is such an awesome feeling truthfully, I love the Lord and know He has truly prepared thousands and thousands of people to receive the Gospel here in Mexico and we just need to reap the fruits. The Lord is so merciful, and it is such a miracle the fact that He forgives us for all that we do. I have been trying to study more and understand on a larger scale the atonement of our Lord Jesus Christ, and I just realize, first of all how little i understand it, but even then just catching a glimpse of what He has done is overwhelming. I know that He lives, I know he is my Savior. I hope that you are all having a great week and enjoying the summer. I love you all and hope and pray you have a great week.
