Hey guys!

                                                         Elder Torres and Elder Radmall

This week was pretty cool! We were able to commit two people to baptism! One for this Saturday, and one for the next. We tried committing a ton of people to baptism, but only two accepted. We're wanting to commit Marcos to baptism this week for the 24th of this month. The two that have baptismal dates are Sugey and Raul. Sugey's baptismal date is for this Saturday and is super excited for it. Her only problem or struggle is her family. They're members, but less-active and they don't support her a whole lot. She´s the mom, and her oldest son who's about 22 yells at her, hits her, smokes weed, and isn't living the Law of Chastity. It's really hard on her, but her other kids do better, they just don't obey her which is frustrating for her.

 

My companion is also from Veracruz, he has made two rap cds, and he's pretty cool. I'll tell you more about him next week in the email.  There are 22 missionaries in our zone.

Raul is an older guy of about 60 yrs. His wife is a member which is a huge help, but he has cancer, so he sometimes doesn't have a ton of energy. He grew up in a Christian church where they played loud music with drums all that jazz, and he says that in that church he felt filled with the Spirit, but in this church he doesn't feel it. He´s confusing the Spirit with inspiration or energy. We've explained the difference to him a few times, but we´re planning an awesome lesson to help him feel the Spirit strongly.

Likes his food!!

I feel pretty happy to be in this ward again, the member recognized me which surprised me because I couldn't really talk to them before. This is not the ward where Rubén and Wendy live, but they do live in the zone.  I actually get to go to Navolato this Thursday which I'm pretty excited about. 

I love you guys! Have a great week!

Questions:

Dad: Sadly, no. But if I find one, I'll be sure to buy something from it.  (Are there any Mexican cowboy stores there? That could be some cool stuff to get!)

Mom: I'll be good with what ever. (Are you thinking that you will finish your mission in Culiacan and are you hoping to?)  

Holly: By using the scripture that says our bodies are temples. Then using the example of someone putting graffiti on the church building. (How do you teach people that have tattoos that we are not supposed to have tattoos?)

Sam: Being with family and being able to talk about hunting again haha  (What is the main thing that you are looking forward to when you get home?)

Dylan: Pues, aquí en la misión, ninguno, pero a mí, mi gusta mas los juegos de la mesa. Well, here in the mission, none, but to me, I like more the games of the table. (¿Qué juego juegas más a un juego de mesa o de cartas? What game do you play most a board or card game?)
