2 Wet -n- Tired Missionaries ready to dry off, plan, and call it a night!
A heap of bicycle parts from about 4 bikes members had donated in many years past were salvaged from the back yard of a house we closed down. A good member for the cost of $142 (U.S.) made two functioning bikes; which made two missionaries very, very, very happy.
It will sure help their efforts in this new area.
Tender Mercies
Those that are serving faithfully and obediently radiate a certain glow.
Can you see it?

An example of- "The rest of the story"
This couple on February 14th 2015 with the help of Elder Ruiz/Elder Stewart were married in Santiago. It was free that day because of Valentines Day.
The wife was then baptized on February 28th 2015 with Elder Rivera and Elder Ruiz.
Then this week on 22 March 2016 this couple was sealed in the Mexico City Temple.
The returned Elder Rivera and Hermana Anderson (who originally started teaching this sister) traveled to Mexico City to support them at the temple. A beautiful day!

.....Esta semana han pasado muchas cosas importantes,
despues de sentirme desanimada comence a estudiar más acerca de la fe y la
esperanza me encanto lo que aprendi porque entendi porque me había sentido así
y pues en mis metas personales una fue desarollar mayor fe y esperanza,
realmente lo pude sentir!! Después de comprender que la fe la desarrollo cuando
confío totalmente en mi Salvador! Es maravilloso poder sentir esa semilla de la
que habla Alma y que empieza a ensanchar mi pecho, a iluminar mi entendimiento
y a ser deliciosa para mi! Después de esa experiencia pude ver muchos milagros
esta semana! En las lecciones sentí el espiritu claramente indicandome que
debía decir... Disfrute mucho la conferencia de estaca y también tuve una gran
experiencia que quiero compartir, el día sábado realmente deseaba que nuestros
investigadores fueran a la conferencia y teniamos 6 que dijeron que irian y
antes de la conferencia les llamamos y oh sorpresa todos nos cancelaron por una
u otra razón estaban lejos o simplemente no podían ir.... habia solo una
hermanita que estaba dispuesta pero no podía asistir porque no podia regresar
sola hasta su hogar, ore en mi corazón mientras meditabamos la forma para que
ella fuera y llego un pensamiento a mi mente por medio del Espiritu, pense en
una hermana que vive en esa colonia (es la única miembro con carro en esa
colonia y ademas ella trabaja por las tardes) pero el pensamiento fue profundo
y entonces le dije a mi compañera de eso y me dijo si! oremos para que vaya a
la conferencia, entonces oramos y literalmente corrimos hacia su hogar porque
ella no tiene celular, y cuando salio a abrirnos ella ya estaba lista para ir a
la conferencia, le dijimos nuestra peticion y accedio con mucho gusto, despues
llamamos a la investigadora y llego como en 5 minutos, salimos de su casa
directo a la conferencia y realmente fue una experiencia espiritual
significativa para mi, tal vez fue algo chiquito pero significó mucho para mi,
fui muy edificada y Rosalva (la investigadora) estaba muy animada y ella nos
dijo que realmente desea bautizarse!
Presidente siempre quise servir una misión y ahora que
estoy es como un sueño que se esta cumpliendo, a veces siento que no soy lo
suficientemente buena o cosas en mi mente, pero no tardo en arrepentirme y
seguir animada, porque quiero dar TODO para el Señor! quiero ser la gran
misionera que El espera de mi, las hojas del cuarto misionero me han ayudado
muchisimo!!!! Realmente deseo que la misión altere mi vida, ya la esta alterando
pero deseo mejorar cada día y ser exactamente obediente porque es lo que El
espera de mi!....

These cute sisters house is always in great shape.
I wasn't able to take pictures of it this round-
as they had interviews in Presidents Office.
But because they are the "Senior Sister Leader Trainers"
they never fail to lead by example.
PS : I still owe you a treat...

These sisters are so stinking cute!
And their house was PERFECT!
I love this house because they actually have a garbage
dumpster outside on the street which is unheard of here in the mission.
Hermana Chojolan and Hermana Gomez
Hermana Chojolan was homesick the first week and her mother wrote her telling her to "Get to Work- and Work, Work, Work"
It solved everything and she has never looked back! So proud of them both!
PERFECTION

Thanks for your efforts Hermanas.

Casa- Insurgentes II
These two Elders moved into this new apartment just
over 9 weeks ago with no windows or sink.
But it was worth their sacrifice- and they have worked so
hard opening their area. President is so impressed with
the efforts of this duo!
BooYah!
Elder Messervy/ Elder Ramirez

Pachuca Centro Zone
Casa- Apan
Elder Gutierrez - Elder Cruz
So happy they were ready and waiting for my arrival.
Everything in perfect order. This is a cold little house but it is tiny, and so easier to warm up with a space heater.

Casa- Sahagun
Elder Sanchez - Elder Johnson
This is a great little house and such an improvement over the house the Elders used to live in not too long ago.
Things in order and progressing in this area.
Casa- Providencia
Elder England - Elder Gamez
These two are motivated and Elder England is assisting Elder Gamez in
his last cycle in the mission - making it a memorable and a productive finale.
Extra grateful for their positive attitudes and willingness to fire up this area!

Casa- Pachuquilla
Elder Morales / Elder Cutler
"Well Good Morning to you too!"
This house is a great one. We feel blessed to have found it just over 9 weeks ago. They split the wards in this area and so for a few cycles we had no missionaries here in this ward. Elder Cutler was up to the challenge of opening a new area and training a wonderful new missionary. What would we do without obedient, honest, and hard working Elders like these two?
The house was more than Perfect!

Taking perfect care of one of the nicest homes in the mission.
Wouldn't change a thing- I'd rate them a 10 out of 10!
They are going to make future wives very happy one day with their house cleaning skills...
Elder Perez handmade these cute notes for President and I.
Ahhhh.... so thoughtful. Going in the scrapbook.

Casa- Pachuca Centro
Elder Harolds / Elder Guerra
So to be honest- I was pleasantly surprised with this house check.
This is a great little house and these two put a lot of effort in having things ready to roll. Grateful for their work in keeping the Lords property in proper order.
This house is one of those tender mercies for this area....

Casa- Zone Leaders- Revolucion I
Elder Ellibee/ Elder Barrios
It's interesting to go house to house.
To be honest the Elders re-arrange furniture way more often than the sisters.
These two totally changed things up and I thought it looked GREAT!
Grateful for diligent, obedient and concerned zone leaders that are serving through the mission. We trust them with our own lives - hence why they are serving in the positions they are; overseeing and assisting missionaries in their zones.

We so appreciate their efforts... which really is a 24x7 job.
You are both priceless... thank you.
Dropping the returned Hermana Rachel Anderson off at the bus station for her return trip back to California.
So good to see her- and we appreciate all her efforts in supporting recent converts that were sealed in the temple on Tuesday.
