Hey mom and dad Hows it going? THis week has been intense and exciting. Their have been ups and downs but Im really happy that God alows us to have difficulties so that we can progress in this life.

I just want to let you know that this month we are going to have a 2 baptisms. We are marrying a family on the 24th and going to baptise them on the 25th. They are the familia Chavez Carbojal. Hermano Raul y Hermana Jessica. Also their daughter Kiara. Hermano Raul y Kiarra are going to get baptised on that day.

Today I had the opportunity of inscribing them in a massive matrimonie and get all the things ready for that day. They are way happy and excited that they are doing all these things. 

Me and my companion have been working really hard this week finding new families and contacting like crazy. Each week I feel like I work harder and harder. Their gets to a point where their isnt enough time in the day to do all the things i want to do. 

The Lord is helping me to be an instrument in his hands and bring people unto crist. We had 9 people at church yesterday and this has been the best week by far in this area that Im in. The Lord is really teaching me a lot of great of lessons and especially he is testing my patience at times but I know that he is doing all of this to try my patience.

We are working with 3 other families that are progressing really well. Im so happy in my area and now I have found a way to work in it. The changes are next week but I think that Im going to stay. Im really hoping I stay. We will see what happens. I think my one of my best friends is going to get transfered ELder Hunt.

He helped me today inscribing families and he is an awesome Elder. He lives in Arizona and he only has 2 changes ahead of me. I think we are going to be companions in the future. I hope we will. 

Anyway I love you guys and miss you but at the same time I have a family over here that is becoming part of my life and for now I need to be with them. I cant believe I have 7 months but gotta keep working hard. 

Ill talk to you next week and keep you informed thanks for the package. ALso keep praying for me but especially give thanks to the LOrd for blessing ELder Parra here in the mission. Love you guys Hasta Luego Chao!!
