my heart goes out to the Bentley family... my prayers and efforts will be to bring peace to their hearts. Vanessa was always caring and loving and supportive to all. its devastating... Dad please give Steve a big hug for me next time you see him and send my love to the family. she was always an example of the believers. we were going to get home from the mission almost at the same time. we must always be prepared. i feel the assurance that she is fine. serving the Lord gives one a magnifacent confidence in the power and works of our Heavenly Father.
we worked hard this week and hope to continue working. my heart hurts for the events past but i can only work harder.
its hot. not much new going on.
i dont know what to say....
i love you

weelll my comp left and for the first time since leaving my first area i have a mexican companion. haha. he is from Guadalajara, Jalisco, mexico and has the same amount of time as me in the mission. it is kinda weird because we are both in the final stretch and we are together but we are gonna make the best of it. it has been a little awkward because we dont know who is gonna take the lead alot of time and sometimes we dont get a lot done. things are settling down and this should be a good week. i like my area even though i have to clean a large portion of tha church every saturday. i dont like mexican food any more... i almost couldnt get in my pants this morning... and i am tired of chicken and weird tasting drinks.
aside from all that this last week was kinda boring because we were rolling along in autopilot and werent really focused on a whole lot of anything. we are going to start getting down to it soon so we can keep lifting our area up until it is stable. before i entered here the missionaries were little girls who faught all the time and the president pulled them both out and put me and my last companion in. since the last day of may we ave seen quite a bit of progress. i am happy with the success but definitely not satisfied. i think things are going to get a little hard but nothing priesthood power cant fix.
pray for me and my area.
there is not much time,

pues ya otra semana pasó y no hay mucho qué decirles.
this week is transfer week and i am staying another 6 weeks here in mercedes ward. my companion Elder Thomspon is going to Coatza to my last area so i am excited for him to go and get to know my old ward and to smell the stinky dump that is in his area. haha. i am excited to stay another change i think. i know that my work is not yet over here in the area. i gotta get a few more baptisms and confirmations done. i have been working really hard with a part member family recently to help them get active and to get their 10 year old son baptized and in the process we started teaching the aunt and cousins as well and not have quite a few prospects for baptisms. they went to a couple ward activities this last week and are really enjoying the church.
as far as the work it was a prety normal week. hot hot sun and lots of irritated tabascans... but there were quite a few interesting occurences this last few days.
monday was pretty normal as far as p-day activity goes. we washed and hung out and did all thenormal stuff and then went to sleep haha.
Tuesday is when it gets interesting... we had district class and because our district is only 4 of us we do it in the house. we finished up and were heading out when we saw a huge crowd at the entrance of our neighborhood. turns out the was an accident and a lady with her two small children got hit by a car... the lady and the baby survived and were taken to the hospital, but the little child got run over and didnt make it... the whole neighbor hood was just watching and staring and taking pictures but i didnt see one person lamenting the death of the child. i felt sick to my stomach to see the tiny figure under a bed sheet and not a single tear being shed. walking away from the scene i cried for the child hoping that somewhere someone was caring abot his little soul. it felt horrible to see but the truth of the matter is that that child is in the presence of the Lord now and lives through the eternal grace of the Atonement. but it cut me deep and affected me greatly... i could hardly focus on the work thing about the images that i had seen...
Wednesday we had interviews with President Castaneda and he saw that i was a little distracted be the recent events and other tragic things that i cant even share because they are SOOOO unbelievable horrible that he decided to give me a priesthood blessing to strangthen me. it helped greatly and i could focus for the rest of the day.
Thursday we had a youth activity and we took some investigators to go to the church and we played some games with them and they liked it a lot. we left to go to an apointment and the stayed behind to keep playing with the youth.
Friday we worked all day and had some successes and a lot of not so successes. haha.
saturday we worked ate and then at we always have to go clean the church and we got 3 investigators to come with haha. cant get em to go to church on sundays but i can talk them in to cleaning the chapel. haha they went because afterward there was planned an activity for the ward. so many showed up that there was nothing to do so i sat down with an investigator and started to play the piano for her... she started talking about her teenage daughters and all of the trials that they had faces and then i stopped playing to really give her my attention and she let it AAAALLLLLLL out... she told me everything she had ever done wrong... full on confessional and this lady has had some hard timesss.. things that i cant imagine doing... but i could look her in the eyes and tell her that Christ heals all wounds especially the types of wounds she has.... i could promise her the blessings of peace and comfort that she can have if she commits herself to obeying the commandments of God and just like that she told me she wants to follow the example of the Savior. doesnt have an exact date yet but this lady is gonna get dunked. haha. and her daughters hopefully. after the confessional we went to get started with the activity. we had tamales and played sports and had a great time. all of the investigators and mamber enjoyed it. but then sunday they all had "emergencies" and couldnt go to church... AAAAAAAAAnd it was raining...
the devil.... ruins everything.
no one went to church. normally we have about 100-110 in the chapel bbut we had 60 this week and no investigators... ñlksdfklsjñflsdkñjaoaowoahiluahs
but its ok... gotta stay posative and keep working on the progression
we have had some good success here so i just have to dust myself off and get back to work.
we cant lose faith...
we cant lose hope.
we must cling to a Celestial Hope that all things are for our good and benefit.
you can learn the strength of the wind NOT by laying down, but by standing against it.

this week was one of a lot of.... HEAT!!!
i cant believe that being "rainy season" it hasn't rained in over a week and the heat humidity combo have been absolutely mind blowing. everyday walking miles and miles in the sun and being literally drenched in sweat head to toe... my wife is gonna be gorgeous... they always say that for time spent suffering in extreme weather is time your future wife spends in the gym... hahaha.. so my wife is gonna be in great shape... :)
aside from a lot of heat nothing much happened this week. we just worked and tried to find people who were interested and didn't have much luck. we are practically starting from scratch because all of our progressing investigators progressed all the way and are now progressing converts. getting back to basics has been a challenge but working hard has helped me stay focused on the work... we are going to see the blessings this week and the next. we should be baptising two in the next 2 weeks.
hmmmmm... what did we do this week..
last Monday was pretty much boring it was the Zone activity but we decided not to go because its always the same thing... soccer and food in the stake center. instead we went to downtown to find a leather store to by the special thread for making hammocks. i have been visiting an inactive well i told you guys about him, Henry the tattooed ex con. haha. we are good buddies now even though he has not yet gone to church... anyway when he was at "the big school" as he calls it he learned all about making hammocks and offered to make me one if i bought him the thread. so we went to villahermosa to buy the thread... ran me about 20 bucks... not to bad. after that we worked our few hours and went home.
Tuesday we worked all day in the sun and found a couple new investigators. nothing too exciting.
Wednesday we swung by Henry´s house to see how things were going with the weaving of the hammock and i was half expecting him to have not even started yet but he was going at it like a spider. turns out it takes about a week of daily weaving to make a hammock and he is sacrificing all of that time to make me the hammock. i think i am going to try to pay him a little because it is WAAAAYYYY time consuming... but he is a master. it is cool to see him work the threads. we worked a very normal hot day.
Thursday another Hot day and a looooong one at that.we swung by to visit a recent convert of ours and she was at home in her cosmetic place preparing for the afternoon of work. she is a beauty maker... i cant remember what they are called in English... but we were visiting and she started looking at my nails and just went to work and by the time i noticed she gave me a manicure without nail polish haha. soaking and chopping up my nails and cuticls... it was an interesting one.
Friday we were in divisions because of a ingrown toe operation an elder needed and so me and my best buddy elder Clark were working together which is always awesome because he is pretty fresh out of the MTC and loves to get it done. we walked and worked from our house all the way to the other side of their area which turned out to be 6 KM of highway and we worked in 6 neighbourhoods so that adds about a KM or 2 for each one. it was ridiculous because we couldn't get into ONE SINGLE HOUSE hahaha. we had a great day together and we worked hard.
Saturday tired and over worked we put ourselves to work again and had a good day. found a few new investigators and after food went to help tour ward clean the church... turns out that we were the only ones who showed up and we just got to work and expected everyone to show. after a few minutes they arrived but it is ridiculous how lightly everyone takes their responsibilities and callings around here. there is definitely a lesson to be learned in reverence.
it was a good week and it finished well. Sunday we ate with the Bishop and his family and afterwards we went out and he came with us to do a few visits to recent converts.
i am enjoying every moment and i know that i am anxiously engaged in a good cause. i have recently been engaged in reading Jesus the Christ and that book is changing my perspective on the life and purpose of the Savior. i love Him.
search ponder and pray God will take care of the rest.
i love you all
write me and send me money
being broke is awful...

Subject: Black Butterfly
this week was a grand one... we got some work done and had a good time. sadly it hasn't rained in more than a week. that means the hellish heat is on full blast. we have been getting burned almost everyday. ha ha. i don't like it very much. it is much better when it rains because its not hot, it floods easy, and people have sympathy on the poor wet missionaries. ha ha. but we haven't had such luck. just a lot of heat.i would be getting skinny if weren't for so much love... i swear we are eating in every appointment all day long. they make it impossible to watch your diet. it doesn't help that almost nothing is healthy here. Monday we played soccer with they local kids and then went shopping nothing too exciting.
Tuesday we worked an almost normal day if such thing exists
Wednesday we did some divisions and i stayed in my own area.
Thursday we were still in divisions but i had to go to the offices to fill out some paperwork to renew my visa because it expired like... 6 months ago. ha ha. so basically we didn't get anything done.
Friday we got back to our normal companionships and got i little bit of work done in various parts of our area that we hadn't touched before. it was a looong hooot weeek but it all payed off on Saturday....
we spent almost the whole day preparing and inviting people to our baptism. i was really excited because this investigator has been quite difficult to commit. so we wandered around almost all day in the heat and then at 5 went to the church to do the weekly cleaning... normally not many members show up and it is a long lonely process but this week quite a few showed up and were all excited for the baptism. we started working on the font and got all that squared away and then did the programs and all was going well and then............
it was still going well. the investigator showed up with his family and all was ready. the service was the most spiritual service we have had here in the ward. went smoothly and as planned and we knocked em dead with a special musical number. Marcelo went down and under in one try and the ward was great afterward giving him the welcoming... all went smooth and e got a lot of good comments on the spirit that was in the room.
Sunday went well. Marcelo was confirmed and his neighbor accepted her baptismal date.
i think my highlight of the week would have to be when we had lost touch with Marcelo for a few days and while we were on splits with the elder that was supposed to do the interview we found him home and willing to talk. at first he was very apprehensive and then we started talking to him about the blessings of the baptism and how he had already received his answer. he has a strong testimony but always liked to make excuses. ha ha. he accepted his date for Saturday and we went through with the interview. i am now starting to really rely on the miracle touch of the Lord in my life. i have a confident faith that things will come together for me a hope that all is well and all will end well. we should be having a couple more baptisms coming up soon and i know that the Lord is smiling upon us.
be good.
i love you

p.s. on Saturday we experienced a Mexican omen in the morning my companion went down stairs to open the door and a giant black butterfly of doom flew in the door and was terrorizing us 4 missionaries. i was scared... i ended up under the table in the kitchen and we left him their until we became restless and decided to kick his butt out. my valiant companion grabbed the the broom and went to work... it started flapping its wings and sounded as if a helicopter was taking off... he managed to force it out a window but it came straight back Ianthe front door... DOH... then we usher him out another window and close up shop and he dis appeared we were OK for a while and then a went up to shave my grizzly face. elder Clark was using the bathroom so i took the mirror into a bedroom to shave in fresh air and peace. haha. but when i looked up from the mirror the giant butterfly was RIGHT IN MY FACE!!!! it had came into the upstairs window and camouflaged itself to one of the elders suites... i jumped like a deer and screamed like a dying rabbit... i swear i had never been so scared before...
haha.
later that day we asked the bishop if he had had any experience with evil butterflies and he says that it is a common belief that they are the sign of bad luck and sorrow. he told us that there will be tragedy in our home soon.
hahahahaaa..
i have been cautious ever since.

nothing really new this week...
we got to go to do session in the temple and that brought a good peace to the mix... we also had a Zone Conference... but i feel they are starting to teach the same stuff everytime... maybe they are trying to tell me something... haha.. DO BETTER... last week we didnt have a baptism and that is always tough but its ok because we are getting things organized here in our ward to have a lot of success in august. we did very well in July. it was one of the better months of my mission as far and conversion rates. 5 weekends and 6 converts. all of them are settled in nicely in the ward and about to be recieving callings and assignments. i have seen a ton of personal progress and i am excited for the coming 6 months...
thats right.... i only have 4 transfers and 6 months to go....
let us make the best of them...
i am out of time.
but i know that the church is true and i will write next monday with some spiritual experiences.
i love you all more than you know
