Hola Familia
Sounds like you are all doing very well.
Well it has been a busy week opening another area. This one is huge. I am out in the mountains this time. We even got to go hiking today. It felt so weird to leave in Civilian clothes. Looking at the pictures you can see what kind of tan line that i have. It's been a good P-day.

I finally got to make the cake that you sent me. I gave it to the Stake Presidents wife and she made it in a frying pan. It was really smart and it turned out awesome. Thank you so much for sending it to me. The stake president is a electrical scientist.



I gave my glasses to Elder Lee, he went home last Friday so he should be getting in contact with you guys. He is a good trustworthy elder that lives in Utah and his sister is getting married in the IF temple this or next month.

My new companion is from Peru. He is so humble. He has to be the most positive, humble guy I know. He changed missions about 2 weeks ago so the president wants me to get him caught up on how we work out here. It has been cool to learn some new examples of how to teach basic doctrine. He is so cool.

My new area is really really big. Its right in the middle of the mountains. Our house is in the middle of Huixquilucan its called, el central de Huixquilucan, if you want to Google it. It is so beautiful too. It is an actual rain forest, and is so green. There are natural springs here that you can drink out of and not get sick, How cool is that? ha ha.

I cant believe that in 4 days I will hit a year. Man how fast the time flies. It feels like I just got out here. From what I hear the time goes so much faster once you hit the half way point. It is hard to believe, but that's what I have heard. My shoes are holding up great and my shirts are fine and my pants are holding up great as well.

love you forever

Well its been a good change with my kid. We ended it well and left some people with a baptismal fecha for next week. I've been sent to Huisquilucan, its out in the middle of no where. It is just a bunch of little towns scattered around. The area is huge. It will be fun to get to learn how to work in a new environment. My companion is Elder Lecca from Peru. He is new to the mission, but he has been out 18 months. The President wants me to teach him how we do things in this mission, so that next change he can be a District Leader. Elder Parkinson also happens to be in my district this change. It will be awesome to get to work with them. I am really exited to work this change.



Jessica, Patricia, Rosalia and Maria Fernanda got baptized this week, it was a really cool baptism. All four of them are really cool and committed to the gospel. Jessica found us by chance in a van (public transportation) and told us that when she loves the Book of Mormon and everything about the church. When she was 16 she wanted to get baptized. Her dad, of course, didn't give her permission to do it. Now she is 19. Her birthday was yesterday and her mom gave permission to her sister Patricia so they could both be baptized. It was awesome!! They were really exited to finally get to do it. They have tons of friends already in the church.


Rosalia was another miracle. She was a Jehovah Witness before. It is interesting how they do things, but with out the spirit as a source of power. They just get people by addicting them to studying the bible and by fear. They are not use to a nice God. So after God humbled her heart a ton to the point where she left them and looked for something else. When she found us she just feasted on the spirit and went a lot faster in the gosple than we could imagine. I have talked with her about so much deep doctrine. It is crazy. She felt the spirit and that helped her really get to know our Heavenly Father. All we had to do was let her feel the spirit and the Spirit did everything else.


thanks for everything.
Love you forever
Elder Sorensen
