A slow week with so much that happened!!! El Tuesday we were playing volleyball with our ward and Elder Reynoso jumped to block a shot and when he came down rolled his ankle really badly, it swelled up so big we decided to go get it looked at. It rolled so bad he ended up getting a hairline fracture in one of the little bones in his ankle and they put him in a cast... After being in the hospital for forever we finally went back the next day to our area. He will be in a cast for about 3 weeks so we will see. Moving around this week has been difficult. Walking in crutches has been really hard for him because he's not a small guy. We are gonna do some divisions with the zone leaders to make a day a little easier.

This last week there was a stake activity for the youth and we got almost 20 references from their friends of whom we can visit!!! We are super excited! 

Edwardo who we have been teaching, is 18years old and he decided to get baptized after the first lesson and we had to tell him that he has to hear all the lessons and prepare and we are super excited for his baptism for this next week! or the week after:)

A cool bit, I have been studying up on a topic I heard in sacrament meeting about knowledge vs. wisdom. The Atonement only emphasizes Christ´s, not only perfect knowledge of how we feel and experience, but perfect wisdom. He knows how we feel but also he has been through how you feel. I'm so grateful and my heart is so full.

It's so hot, still...

I Went To A Mexican Graduation!

It was actually really, really fun because Sandy graduated she's so awesome I love her so much. 

This week we went to dedicate a home for a family, when we got there it was so nice.... so nice an electrical gate even. Anyway we went inside had A/C and everything. We later come to find out the next day that they're Narcos and Sell Cocaine!! So we dedicated a crack house :)

Sorry I haven't written in a while so The past few weeks I have really been reflecting on two principles. Love and gratitude. The absolute love Heavenly Father has for his children, and how the Gospel is what actually brings true happiness. The humble people here in this part of Mexico are some of the happiest I have ever seen it is incredible. I learned that I can try to fully understand the extent of the Atonement but the more we learn the more we realize how much we cannot even fathom. Helping others understand Christ´s (love) Atonement is for more than just sinners but is all encompassing and really brings a healing power to ALL, that when tasted drives ones to their knees in a gratitude that is inexplicable. I have felt weak and incapable to express just the grand magnitude of the Atonement only coming to realize that keeping it down to simple doctrine brings the spirit which explains to the heart, something words cannot.

On the real, the mission is just awesome
