.......esta semana fue muy buena tuvimos un bautismo y
estamos ayudando a familias muy buenas a progresar solamente que esta semana si
fue un poco difícil encontrar a nuevas personas para enseñar pero nos hemos
puesto como meta mi compañero y yo buscar asta debajo de las piedra a esas
personas escogidas y pues estoy muy contento y muy feliz solamente es el poder
esforzarnos aun mas y quiero contarle una experiencia bien rápido esta semana
en una de nuestras lecciones mi compañero empezamos a enseñar y pues acordamos
que el tendría el control de la lección aun es muy tímido y muy callado pero al
poder estar escuchándolo y poder orar por el en lo que el estaba enseñando
recordé que usted en una de sus cartas nos envió una experiencia similar a la
mía al estar orando por mi compañero durante la lección pude darme cuenta que
su español es muchísimo mejor toda la lección la dio el yo hice algunas
intervenciones para dar testimonio de sus palabras pero fue un momento
sumamente especial ya que pude darme cuenta que esta obra es completamente de
nuestro padre y pude ver eso en el español de mi compañero que a pesar de su
seriedad su timidez el pudo compartir la lección solo con un español súper
fluido y entendible y me uno al testimonio de que se que el don de lenguas es
una bendición se que si nos esforzamos por tener el espíritu con nosotros este
obra milagros en muestras vidas.
le amo presidente y espero tenga una buena semana Elder J
After 9 years of attending church... Finally baptized!
What a day!!!
Emptying the font bucket by bucket.... seriously they need to fix the pump!
"J____ is someone
has gone through a lot through her life. Her mom died when she barely was 8
years old, and her dad went into a deep depression and basically just left her
to fend for herself, solely giving her money when she needed it. She has lived in
many different homes of relatives until recently she had problems with her
sister of whom she was living with at the time. The bishops family took her in
as one of their own as the also have kids her age. She had come to church twice
before we starting teaching her. She was someone that we know as Golden
Investigators. She was diligent in her reading and always took our invitations
to act seriously. In the very beginning she had good experiences with prayer and
received her answer really early in General conference that there is a prophet
called of God on the earth again and thus also received a testimony that Joseph
Smith was a prophet of God, called to restore his church. She enjoyed this
change of heart so much that she invited her sister over to listen to us as her
birthday present (it was the birthday of her sister). Although her sister did
not continue coming to our visits, we could see the true love of the gospel
that J_____ has. This is why I came on the mission, to see these kinds of
changes!"

......tambien durante esta semana pude sentir que
realmente mis estudios fueon eficaces, he estado compendiendo puntos de la
doctrina que antes no podia comprender y se va ampliando mas mi entendimiento y
conocimiento del evangelio. he encontrado mayorinspiracion para ayudar a los
investigadores al momento de estar con ellos durante el como comenzar a
enseñar, he aprendido a escucharles y a entender por lo que estan aptravezando
y de que manera podemos ayudarles, he sentido que por medio de las preguntas
inspiradas a los nuevos investigadores, hemos encontrado maneras concretas de
aplicar el evangelio a sus vidas y eso abre las puertas para que puedan hacer
un esfuerzo por acercarse al Salvador y ver de sus bendiciones....me estoy
esforzando por cumplir con mi proposito como misionero, y quiero literalmente;
Perderme en la obra.
Amo el evangelio y amo esta oportunidad para transmitirlo
con los hijos de Dios.
le amo Presidente.... Elder P

Thursday night after a special Interview with President for their investigator in Mixi...
Ward Activity in Tulancingo Tulancingo Barrio- "The trip to Hawaii where the plane crashes and everyone dies. Our room was the topic of the 'resurrection' ".
Oh divisions.... always a good time!
Serving students at a local University. Our missionaries acted like "Tourists" while the students practiced giving tours in "English".
Renewing VISA's..... Has it seriously been a YEAR?!
.....Otra semana maravillosa acaba de pasar. Hemos sido
bien ocupadas, y bien felices con todo el trabajo que el Señor nos ha dado. Yo
he sentido tanto el Espíritu del Señor guiándonos en los caminos que debemos
tomar. Un ejemplo pasó el viernes. Nuestra cita cayó, nuestro plan de respaldo
cayó, y nuestro plan de respaldo de respaldo cayó. En el acto de poner una cita
para regresar con el último plan de respaldo, Hermana G contactó una señora que
iba arriba a su apartamento. La señora nos invitó a su hogar, y tuvimos una
conversación muy bonita.....

Those little things you take for granted like an "electric mixer"...

This week was really good! Lucero and Luz Adriana came to
church again, and they are getting excited about the church. They told us that
already they can see changes in their lives from having the gospel. For
example, they talk more to each other and feel closer. I'm so excited about
them!!!!
I learned a lot from the zone conference, especially
about better ways to contact. We have been implementing that more as we contact
by giving brief summaries of the Restoration. I also really appreciated Hermana
Egbert's talk about Peter walking on water (Lord, Save Me). I felt the Spirit very strongly and
felt the application to myself.
Spanish is going pretty well. I don't feel lost in the
conversations anymore, and usually I can understand the overall meaning of
casual conversations. I've been studying food vocabulary words, which I had
never really thought about, but everyone is constantly talking about food! How
to prepare it, what they like better, the way their Mom makes it... food is a
very prevalent topic. It's funny. :)
This week we've been trying to give more charla francas
so we can only teach those who are really willing to change. Sometimes it's
really hard, especially if they seem like they really could progress, but their
old traditions, or their family, is holding them back. It just breaks my heart
to think they won't get baptized and we won't visit them anymore. I guess
that's how God feels when we break the commandments or don't strive for what's
right. It makes me super sad. Then I think about Lucero and Luz to make myself
happy, because they are ready, they are progressing, and they are the kind of
strong people who will keep their baptismal covenants. They are awesome!
Thanks for everything!
Sincerely, Hermana M

Tecamac Stake Conference- A new Stake President was called
________________________________
Monday started off with Hermana Egbert checking on missionaries while President did special interviews in the office...
And then we were invited to attend a District Activity in Pachuca Centro at 2:00 pm and were SURPRISED with an early Christmas Lunch with these wonderful missionaries. What a treat to sit back, talk and be served a meal prepared especially for us... what a gift of love. Notice the handmade place mats with everyone's name on them! So much work and preparation. Thank you to everyone for your heartfelt efforts- touched our hearts.
The wonderful hosts were Elder Avalos, Elder Garcia (District Leader) and this young man from their ward Israel Juarez Avalos who is headed to the mission field soon.

Meanwhile...
on the other side of the mission in Tezontepec they were having their zone activity. (Missing a couple of companionship's)
Seriously- look at that level of concentration!
With special permission from President they went close next door from the church to a members house for lunch... Our members are so giving to our missionaries.

Quarterly "Newer/Possible" District Leader Training
Great Group, Great Spirit, Great Food and Exceptional Teaching...
"The Best Capacitation yet"...
Elder and Hermana Hernandez: The new counselor and Executive Secretary to President."Worth their weight in GOLD"
We have many missionaries comment that when working with these two assistants it is obvious why they are the "assistants". These two give 150% effort every second of every day. Diligent, trustworthy, dedicated, obedient and determined!
We sure love, appreciate and have the utmost respect for them!

......Wow este semana ha sido un buen de trabajo pero
vale la pena completamente. Después de casi 8 años yendo a la capilla, Ivan
Cruz por fin se bautizo. El se casó sábado en la mañana y se bautizo domingo
antes de los servicios. Cuando yo le conocí el no era un hombre muy espiritual,
pero cuando el empezó a llorar después de su bautismo yo sabia que El señor le
tocó su corazón y le ayudó a saber que esta en el camino correcto. He sentido el
espíritu tan fuerte durante estos días y he podido sentir el amor de Dios en
cada momento. Yo sé que estoy progresando y, como Ivan, en el camino
correcto.....

.....También estamos trabajando con Gustavo; su historia
es un milagro. Estábamos buscando en a lista de membresía a los miembros que no
conocemos y vimos a Gustavo Serna. Lo pusimos en el plan y lo buscamos pero no
lo encontramos. Entonces, en la noche el líder misional nos estaba acompañando.
Las citas cayeron e hicimos una oración en la calle para ser dirigidos a donde
fuimos necesitados en ese momento. Al abrir los ojos, un borracho se nos acercó
y dijo al hermano líder misional, "Ay, recuerdas quién soy?" Pensó
por un minuto y después le contestó, "Gustavo Serna?!" El hermano
Gustavo se bautizó hace como 15 años y se desvió de la camino. Quiere cambiar y
¡lo ha hecho! Desde esa noche, ha ido a la capilla 2 domingos seguidos y
encontró trabajo. Llega a la capilla sólo bien limpiecito y se queda por todo.
Lee el Libro de Mormón y no ha tomado nada. De verdad es un milagro.
Estoy tan agradecida por los milagros del Señor y el
poder de la Expiación. Lo experimento cada día de la misión.
Le amo mucho!
