Doing better than ever!

Hey Fam,

Well it has been a great week. I was able to find a converter for my thing so here are a few of the pics that I have taken. First of all we are getting new cards in the mission so we had to take all of our money out and what better idea than taking a picture with it. So that is what all of that is. Then there is a sign that we are by and that is where the people that are supposed to get baptized this week live. He is one of the bosses at this place. It is way nice and they have a security thing out front and everything, but they know us already so we just walk in now. Pretty dang cool. Then there is a pic of a sunset we were looking at behind the mountains and finally look at that little guy that I found. Also from those peeps that live in Atamisque. They have a 4 year old son and that is his little toby. So I took advantage and snagged a pic with the little guy. And then another one of our families that is going to be getting baptized has a guy named bongo that looks just like the gar bear. So I took some pics of him but I can`t send them all on this one so I will see if I can send another with more. 

But anyway this week has been awesome. We had zone conference so we got to see President again. Always fun to see him and also President Rastelli. He is such a good guy. And then yesterday for church because we are part of the district so he is in the mission presidency and came to our branch. So I got to see them again. His wife and daughter came as well the ones you know. And Yamina the daughter is going back in april hopefully soon so that she can get tickets to conference and then Adriana the mom is headed up shortly after so you will have to keep an eye out for them.

 

Well as you can see from the pics we are in a pretty place compared to the places I have been for a while. There isn`t much city which is what I love and really nothing happens here which is really nice. 

Let´s see there isn`t much else that I really have to share. It has been a good week. Always full of excitement. But we are just enjoying our time and hoping to stay together another transfer even though it doesn`t look like that will happen. Because it has been so much fun, the time has just flown by and we are already starting week five of the six week transfer. This is nuts how fast the time is flying. I can`t believe that we are already this near the end I just want to enjoy my time that I have left because I know that this time will never again come like this in my life. It is amazing the experiences that we are having. We are hoping for a big week this week with around 6 baptisms. There are two that are iffy but 4 for sure if everything goes as planned so we are way excited for that! Just a great time and I hope all of you are doing well!

I love you all and hope that you have a great week. talk to you all next week!

Love,

So many miracles!

Well Fam,

It has been a great week this week. Yesterday we saw a bunch of miracles. Well I will start with how it went. We were walking to church and this family of recent converts was walking and yelled Elder Maughan`s name. So we looked back and it was all of the girls the mom didn`t get baptized, but the three girls got baptized and their little sister that is like seven also came with them. But they brought a friend so there we had one person in church that we are going to start teaching.

We then walked into church and as we were walking down the hall we saw the niece of some members that said she wasn`t ever going to be able to come because she is baptist and her fam doesn`t want her to. So we stopped trying with her and then she showed up at church. So ya you can never be sure.

Next ran into a girl that got baptized a couple months ago with her mom and sister who are waiting because the husband doesn`t want to let them yet. 

Then the parents of another family of like four older kids that got baptized came.

And last but not least our couple that we have been working with.. Enrique and Laura. Enrique is in charge of a fruit plant. He is one of the big dogs in this place he works. It is a farm owned by french owners. And he is in charge of all of the fruit that passes through. But just the coolest guy ever and Laura already decided that she wants to get baptized we are just waiting for him. 

So we had 9 people in church yesterday that we will be teaching. It was just so much fun. We took my ipod and Elder Maughan`s speakers and we played the hymns on that and it was a big help because everyone sang and it has been a while since that has happened which was another miracle. Just a great day.

This week we had consejo which is our zone leader meeting and I got to see president and his fam. His kid just got back from his mission in Spokane, Washington. So he speaks pretty good english. It is pretty cool to see the other side of it. He is just like his dad. Just always wants to go out with the missionaries now haha. A good kid. 

I got to talk to sister Avila, President, their son Pablo that just got back, and their daughter Leticia. It is just so cool to know them. Because they are great people and not everyone has the chance to get to know them. But from being in the offices I got to know them really well. We also saw the Rastelli´s and as always they were asking about the fam. So they said to tell you hi. I think we will see them again in zone conference this week so I will tell them hi for you mom. Just a great fam. The mom is coming back up in April I think for a few months to stay so maybe you can meet up again if you want... I will make sure she has your number if you want to...just let me know.

We are just having a blast and doing everything that we can to help these people that we have because we have a ton that are getting close to getting baptized. It will be a good month I pray. We are just enjoying our time we have together because we both know that it will be short haha. But it has been fun while it has lasted...

I hope all is well at home and that everyone is doing well. I got my package this past week and it was wonderful. Just a little late for the balentimes stuffs. But that is ok. I am just so happy and love this work so much. We have seen so many miracles in such a short time...and I just hope and pray that we can see more to help these people in the ways that they need.. such a great privilege to have had and to continue to have in this wonderful time. So I hope you all have a great week and we shall talk next week!

Love,
