Hey Mom
I really loved conference too! I was so sad when it ended because I wanted to keep watching! It went by so fast. I really learned a lot and took a lot of notes. We attended at the church and I got to watch conference in English with the other American Elders. It was way cool. It was cool to hear them talk about the missionaries while being a missionary. Our investigators are good. This week was really hard for us because we only taught 8 lessons the entire week. It's hard to find people to teach here and a lot of our meetings fall through. I'm talking to everyone I can in the street and I feel like I'm working hard. I'm pretty sure we have the worst numbers in the mission right now because of how little success we are having. It's okay it's just a trial. My companion is struggling but I am trying to be there for him. I kind of feel like I'm keeping everything in balance here and it's all resting on my shoulders. Please keep us in your prayers. Thank you so much mom, I love you so much.
Love

Hey Dad
I love you. Conference was great and I really missed you too not having you at the priesthood session with me. I watched it at the church and in English too. This week was terrible we only taught 8 people all week and the rest of the time we spent looking for people. I'm sure we have the worst numbers in the mission and I don't know what to do. I'm trying hard and will continue to do so. It's just a trial. The work of salvation isn't easy. I love reading about Alma and Amulek and the missionary work they did. It is a great example to me. I have a lot to learn and I realise now I should have paid more attention in seminary and in church! I feel really unprepared and sometimes when people we teach ask us questions that I'm not sure how to answer I doubt myself. I have a lot to learn. I am looking forward to the gospel discussions we will have one day. I love you Dad and miss you. Stay safe and be careful.

Hey Daddy! I love you! My mother is definitely is a marvelous woman and you are an amazing man! I'm so grateful for you both as my parents. I'm really grateful for you as my Dad. You have so many qualities that I wish that I had and you have taught me a lot. You are so strong and I want to be just like you because you are like Christ! The work is going great! We actually have more than 10 investigators and we are finding more. The hard thing is getting people to do the commitments and come to church. Now they have to come to church consecutively at least 5 times before they can be baptized. People here are really open to religion though and are really willing to hear! It is awesome. We always pray for them and my companion has taught me how important it is to have the love of the members and I feel like we have that. I love our members! If you could keep our investigators and less active families in your prayers that would be great. I'm glad your taking chances to talk to others about the church, we are all doing missionary work together! Thank you so much love and miss you a lot. I could be transferred October 27. I am hoping to go to the temple in October but I don't know when. Love you and miss you.

Hey mom I love you:) Thank you so much for putting our names in the temple! We appreciate that! Thank you for keeping my companion in your prayers too, he needs them. hahaha well as a missionary I am entitled to divine revelation hahahaha. Yes I cleaned my cut before I used super glue on my finger, the cut has healed really well and you can barely see it now. The super glue here works wonders. Only a missionary would use super glue on a cut haha. My birthday was a normal day, we worked all day and it felt great! We had so much food too I wanted to throw up haha. I ate cake 3 different times. Also yesterday we ate with a family here and a returned missionary from this mission was visiting and it was cool to talk with him! We had cake yesterday too and everyone sang to me and a tradition they have here is that at the end of the song you bite the cake but each time someone always shoves your face into the cake and yes we have pictures.
I love my friends and I really miss them. I miss you too. I had a bit of a hard time but the reason was because I was worried about you and Dad. Make sure you both are being super careful and healthy ok. I love you both! Like always my Spanish is getting better. I'm still having a bit of a hard time understanding people but I can have conversations with them just fine for the most part. I'm also teaching my companion English! I have come to realise that we get led by the spirit a lot and we don't even know it. Yesterday as we were walking to church I saw a really old lady carrying a heavy barrel to her house and so I stopped my companion and went to go help her. On the way she fell because the barrel was too heavy. So we ran and helped her up and I carried the barrel in for her and we made sure she was alright. The spirit definitely guided me on that one! We had a miracle this week! We went to pull some money off of my card for medication and to buy a cake for my birthday because we had extra money and while we were looking for a cake a member Sister from the state of Veracruz came up to us and talked to us. She said she wanted to buy me a cake for my birthday! She bought us a cake, a big thing of soda, gatorade and 2 cans of chips! I have pictures of it all. We tried to give her what money we had but she wouldn't accept it. That experience really humbled and changed me, I was so grateful for her and her kindness. It really touched me. My Dad is the best Dad in the world. When I come home I want to strengthen our relationship as well as ours mom. I am so excited Braylei was baptised on my birthday. Thank you so much for all you do! I love you so much and I miss you lots! Love you for eternity!
