Hello my
friend! that's what I hear in the streets here and its in English or its hey man! haha this is not the US!
Well this
week was good Saturday I completed 13 months in the mission and i am not
quite sure why time flies so fast but it is flying at rapping speeds. and
with the nice cool weather we have had this week its been an awesome week
because not a lot of sweat! ha! but its been good to just see how
things change as time goes by and with the nice cool weather we have been
more ready to work and to just be ready to go except yesterday when we changed
times haha we came to the falling back time and its great -you sleep more
that night but not if the sun comes up at 5:45 and your eyes are getting hit by
the nice light of the sun then you ask why!?!?!?! i would like to sleep, then my
companion throws his pillow out the window haha oh wait that didn't happen but
we wanted to to see if we can hit the sun haha so ya the sun is a great thing
but we want more of it at night because then we can see where we are going.
the highlight of the week is the picture of the very funny and oh man
more of a brother than a friend- Fredy, he got baptized. and man he was so
happy. he got out of the water and gave me a hug and told me againto hold him down for 5 sec... haha i told
him no and he said Elder I told you for 5 seconds not 4 haha. but what a great
guy he is. I am positive he will be a missionary in a year. just saying.
what a great conversion of a mighty man of faith but was not all that easy for Elder
Zambrano and I, we really worked our tails off for this young man. so ya but it
was all worth it in the end. another child of god entering into the kingdom of
god. what a blessing it is, mighty man. kind of like Yoda we can say,
like Luke in star wars Yoda literally raised him up to be the mighty Luke
like we know. the best part was probably the drive spiritually Fredy has. I
don't know its a ton of work spiritually but its worth it, it always is. 
I was
reading this week about the divine companionship from Elder Holland, its a talk
he gave to the missionaries in the mtc in 2009, he talks about how we need as
missionaries to have the spirit as our companion. so we go out as 3´s he says
the spirit should always be our companion not only in our missions we need it
in all of the things we do in our marriages and in our families in all things.
but there is a question that he asks us to make as missionaries he says we need
to ask ourselves if the spirit, or the holy ghost, was our Senior comp or our Jr.
comp or was not there at all. we need to ask ourselves this in all things. if
we are making a decision well did i let the spirit guide me or did i just make
the decision. so ya it depends on the situation. he also says that if we as
missionaries don't have the spirit with us as we are teaching then we shouldn't
teach we are prohibited to teach. because the person will not progress. its
like the story of Joseph and Emma when Joseph was translating and he had had a
little argument with his wife. so he couldn't translate. so he went upstairs or
where ever she was and he apologized and well he could translate again.
when we are in the car traveling and I am angry well then the whole family is
angry. haha isn't that right mom? (yes, the mother will attest to that! :)) haha and well it effects everyone, the holy
ghost. so well we better use it right and we better have it always with us. its
something that we learned with Fredy when we taught him throught the spirit
then well he progressed and wanted to be better. then we brought him to Christ
or more better to say we came with him to Christ and dropped him off to go and
get more to bring them to Christ. 
Christ doesn't just say come unto me you and only
you he says come unto me all. So you can say that we are in a car that
is traveling there with a person at a time and well sometimes its smooth
sailing and clear skies but other times its well a flat tire or they get out
early. but we are then going to go back for others who want to go to the
kingdom of our father together with us. so ya Fredy was a smooth sailing and
well all we hit was a bit of rain but we brought him home to our
father heaven we stayed for a bit there and now we are going to get some
more people. its true we have a lot on our plates because well its every person
in a different car. so we drive a lot haha. but that's OK we like doing it
that's our job right now.
SO ya that
was my week a bit like -wow what a great week. we will just keep moving foreword
and moving upward.
I love you
all hope you all have a great week and well Happy Halloween. and here its the Day of
the dead.
