ELDER PARKINSON IS BACK IN THE FIELD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited and just super pumped to hear that my old friend from the M.T.C made it back to Mexico. Elder Parkinson went home not being worthy 7 months ago, it devastated me and my friends many others I am sure. But now he is back. I cant believe that he made it back out. Everyone, including the President, didn't think that he would be able to make it back out. After SEVEN MONTHS he made it back!!! What a man!! He has the strongest testimony of anyone I've meet. He called me today on his way to the office from the airport about an hour ago. What a stud. I want to know where he's going to be.

This is with out doubt been a really great week. We haven't had any baptisms but this Sunday is going to be great. We have a bunch of work to do. We have a ton of people to visit so we are going to be running around like we are crazy this week.

I got my package!!!! Thank you so much! I am trying to decide how i want to make the cake (i don't have an oven) I was thinking about making them like pancakes, what do you think? Or should i just ask a convert to make it? I will let you know.

Sounds like everything is going good at home. Thanks for all your letters
Love you Forever

It is good to hear that everyone is good at home. Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday. We have had a crazy week this week.

We have been blessed in abundance to have Marta, Felix, Giovanni, Christian and Josefina get baptized this week. They are all so cool. Marta and her family have already singed up on the Food Roll so we get to go eat with them every Friday. We found them the Saturday before we called you on Skype. We have had a great time teaching them. They are so cool. They loved everything we have showed them. The mom is a power house, and is devouring the Book of Mormon. She has read all the introductions and testimonies and is well into 1 Nephi. We had a really cool lesson on the Plan of Salvation. They loved it. The dad works all day but has a lunch break from 3 to 5 so we visit them at 3:30 so everyone is there. It just goes to show how committed they are and how much they want this.

Josefina was a Jehovah Witness that was ex-communicated from that church for getting married to someone who wasn't a member of that church. Shes been looking for a new church and couldn't find it until we knocked on her door. She felt the spirit, loved it and just took off at 100 mph. It was awesome. She has studied a ton and knows the bible and now is just devouring the Book of Mormon. She told us that she had made the decision to get Baptized before we could ask here. ha ha it was awesome. She showed up at the church at 7 am to be baptized. It was sweet how much will she had.

I cant really seem to think that a pizza delivery guy got going fast enough to actually take out the Jeep. Its been a good reliable friend. Oh well i was looking forward to finally buying a Wrangler :) OIIIIIIIO be sure to send me some pictures of how bad it looks.

Well i love you guys a ton. Thanks for all that you have done for me.
Love you Forever

Hola Familia

It was great to get to read all your letters. Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I can't believe in 2 days I will be 20. I can't believe in a month I will be half was through my mission, its gone so fast.

Today we got to go to the Tutankhamen or king tut museum with my companion. It was cool. If you know your history (religious) you can see all the connections with the gospel. They believed in a white feathered snake that descended from the heavens and it just turns out that one of the symbols for Jesus Christ is a snake, funny how that the devil used that image. There is tones of connections like that here.
               
We have found some really cool people this week. We found an ex Jehovah witness who got excommunicated for getting married again. Something normally fine, but has absolutely loved all the stuff we have shared with her. We also have found a family of 4 that is just way sweet. The mom has read the first part to the Book of Mormon, the cover page, the testimonies, and the introduction. We shared Alma 32 with them and showed them how they had already gained a testimony. We also last night found a young women that wanted to get baptized about 2 years ago and couldn't get permission from her dad, but now almost is 19. She has friends that are either on a mission or going on a mission. We have been supper blessed this week. Thank you for your prayers.

Sounds like everything is going well at home.
Thanks for all your letters family and friends! Things are going great.

Love you all forever
