Hi Mom!
Thanks so much for the package! It was awesome!!! The Reeses were the best haha. They lasted me a whole week. Debbie is awesome haha.
We hardly worked this week. We were in the hospital the whole week. Elder Martinez
had surgery. There still is a cool experience with one family, they are
super awesome. We spoke in church this week too, it was pretty cool. I got a little
nervous at the beginning but it was pretty good.

Hi Mom!
I'm sleeping, don't worry. It's just hard work. Things have been pretty sweet. Martinez is awesome. We have been working super hard, lots of contacting. This week I have been overcoming fears haha. Teaching is getting better, we have taught some cool lessons. We visited a family that just recently got reactivated by us. Her sister moved in with them from Chihuahua. They talk funny haha. We were just teaching a simple lesson then all of a sudden everyone started crying. The sister told us that they are here for a reason and we answered their prayers. It was awesome. They told us that they asked for a challenge. They didn't give us too much info but they were praying for answers and we answered all of them. Then they bore testimony that we are angels haha.
Love you, Mom.

So
last Monday was sweet. I told you about the family V whose son we are
gong to baptize. Monday we went over to their house for a noche de hogar (FHE). It
was awesome, we brought another family with us. First we played telephone and
then we taught about the atonement. It was honestly the coolest thing in the
world. There was already a bunch of kids there then all of the neighborhood
kids came over. It was insane. They were like, wow, you are a giant, and hey do you speak English? I taught them all, it was
so awesome. Almost all of them were crying. It was what the family
needed, it was honestly the best thing ever. I will have to get the picture to
you later.
Bye, Mom. Love you.

Hi Mom!
I'm
good! We baptized Saturday. I'm going to train... I'm freaking
scared but I've got this.
I'm
with Elder Garcia, he arrived to the mission with me. Martinez went home today. My new companion will be here next week.
We baptized P, it was super awesome!!! He was super happy. His dad didn't
go. We visited them yesterday. Hermano was super depressed. He talked to us alone, he
was just balling. He has addiction problems, things are kind of hard. I'm going to try my best to help them .
This is our Zone activity. We rode tandem bikes, we had a blast!!!!
Hey Mom, I love you. Tell the boys I love them so much. I got to go.
These are pictures from Zone Conference. Hayden finally found someone taller than he is. In his words, "This kid is a giant! He is like 6'8"!!!
