Elder N Puppy :) January 19, 2015
So first of all I had my first guy to try to gert some with me and my comp NOT COOL and not going to go into details(unless you really want to know)...and a good experience the Family Juana came back!!! And want to go to church and get baptised again :) And we found this sister who is like the most humble sister ever. Her name is Ana Maria. She is so sweet and a single mom (no way single mom in Mexico?..) and has the cutest daughter in the world. It is really such an awesome opportunity to help her :) I just realized how special it is to serve Christ and others every day. Gosh I just love my job haha! I remember with Juana we had a really cool lesson about loving God and to obey ALL the commandments and that to prove our love for God we have to obey him. It was just awesome to see the spirit hit her so strong! It was the greatest feeling :)
Also we have a chance to open a branch!! :D We have alot of people who live far away and I talked to Pres and we might be starting a mini branch in our área :D I'm so excited to see what happens. Plus I'm trying really, really hard to get this Zone to be what God wants it to become, and we are seeing a Little progress. But it is tough haha.
We tried to watch the movie "Ephraim's Rescue" as a zone but it didn't work, and I just got fat eating pizza and ice-cream.
Love you guys :)

Exciting Stuff!! January 4, 2015
My week was just cool because Jesús got baptized. He is so awesome. He is the first member in his entire city, and he is a stud. He is going to come with us all day to visit, and he already has a goal to go on a missión. :D and then we had a meeting with all the Bishops, and the Stake President, and his counselors, and we basically introduced a plan to have more baptisms as a stake because the average baptism a year by the missionaries here is 4.... which is super low. People say that this zone is the death of missionaries, and that you can't baptize, but in my Ward with the 15 baptisms in the last 6 months, we are proving them wrong. Now we are going to apply what we are doing to the entire stake to change this stake into THE baptising stake. And all the Bishops are going to apply our plan, and we are going to see what we can do. I'm honestly pretty excited. I can see things changing right before my eyes, and I love it. I can't wait to see what happens with a Little hard work.
