Well i do not have alot of time everyone. But We spent 5 hours clearing this tree off of our investigators house. ya i am a tree hauler so we got the 10 hour job done in 5. He tried paying us 150$ but we would not take it. I am so happy to be a missionary > we baptized Javier Franco. he was so excited. Well my new area... Fort worth north side. Is literally 99 percent hispanic. It is amazing> my spanish is going through the roof. With my wicked tan and my sick spanish everyone thinks my companion and i are hispanic. They never believe that bolillos can speak spanish as well as we do. We are rocking it. We are going to baptize three people in the upcoming weeks. Well i love all of yall .Take care and do do anything i wouldnt. That leaves your options wide open...

May 6 forgot to post this.

Well We had an apostle: Elder Quentin L. Cook come to our Mission this week. He brought a member of the Presidency of the Seventy: Elder Ulisses Soares and 2 other members of the seventy: Elder Viareal and Elder Arnulfo Valenzuela. It was way cool. I am so happy to be a missionary and to have these types of experiences. We had such a good week this week. We have 2 baptism dates. Mauri Tejeda for June 8, 2013. He did not make it to church but he is reading very well and he wants to know that this church is true. Our other Baptism date is Luis Cruz for This saturday May 11, 2013. He did make it to church and he is progressing and he wants to be baptized. Hopefully everything will go smoothly. We also had Jaime Hernandez come to church. He loved stake conference. We had Elder Viareal speak to us from the seventy. They others and the apostle went to other stakes. We had a mission meeting with all of them this past saturday. It was really cool. We taught 22 lessons this week and we are still truckin along.

 

So the first picture is of our visa waiter elder Hermansen. He is waiting to go to guadalajara mexico. His spanish is really good.

if you can compare the two it look like his home is in the clear.  I am SURE that he is safe and protected.

You may of heard a tornado touched down in our mission last night and caused considerable damage in the Granbury area.  Within minutes, all missionaries were accounted for and all are fine. None of their apartments sustained any damage.

Ok stop looking at the pictures. I am alright. I know that the pictures look bad but I am perfectly 100% fine. Yes I was riding my bike and I got hit by a car. He was not going very fast. Just under 20 mph and he hit the back part of my bike. I fell and hit my face on the ground and got 4 stitches. luckily i was wearing my helmet. if not i would not be alright and the pictures would have been pictures of my funeral. :)

       So I am being transferred to north fort worth. I am very excited. My new companion is elder Newman. He is a good missionary i know him very well. I am very excited to go to fort worth finally.

    So my last week in haltom city and i go out with a bang. We have 8 baptismal dates. Victor, Midia, Alejandro, Jesus, Juliana fernandez and Mauri Tejeda have a date for June 8, 2013. Sandra and Wendy Lopez have a date for may 25, 2013. i am very excited but kinda bummed out that i am being transferred and i will not be  able to be here watching all of them be baptized.

Love Yall

Well hello everyone.
      This week was dang good. Very long but we got alot of work done. We set a baptism date with Gabriel Saragosa for May 11, 2013.  He is from Mexico. He lives here by himself and he accepted a baptism date the 2nd lesson. so lets see if we can get it done. We had Jose Hernandez come to church this week. He was supposed to be baptized like four weeks ago but he never was. He still comes to church but always tells us every time he sees us that he is not going to be baptized. Weird but ok. He has received testimonies of other people and I know that he has a testimony of the book of Mormon but he wont be baptized. i have no idea what he is missing or what he is thinking but that is ok because everyone has their agency to choose.
      So we are getting a visa waiter tomorrow. This will be my third visa waiter and my tenth companion. I am excited. He is going to love it here in haltom. especially because we are in a bike area. It is going to be so much easier to teach the single lady investigators that we have now because there are going to be three of us. We are going to work the new kid hard enough to progress but not hard enough to make him hate the mission field and want to go home.
     So my Spanish is flying through the room. I am getting so good. I know that i am because of the blessings from the lord. I have been being very diligent in my language studies so that the lord will bless me and i know that i have been blessed. It is so fun to see peoples reactions when they hear a white guy speak fluent spanish.

so here are some pictures

#1 is where they are harvesting natural gas right next to our apartment. there are about 10 of these things in my area. They set up this huge wall all around this thing and make alot of noise all day and all night.

 

#2 ya its a baby chicken. pollito

 

#3 more baby chickens. pollitos

 

#4 and that is a full talapia fish being cooked. ya i ate the entire thing. Head and tail. yup it was surprisingly dang good.

 

Well thats all folks. See yall in a year. Love yall    

Well sorry family for not writing yall in two weeks. I have had a bad case of adapting to the texas twane of bein sick in the spring. I have had a constant 2 week headache and i had to go to the clinic so sort out my breathing issue. But all is well in the neighborhood because I am back and......... PINEAPPLE IN ONE BITE!!!!!!!!!!

The second picture is the Santa muerte. This is pretty much the grim reaper. People pray to this weird dead person with an orb to help get revenge on people. talk about selling your soul to the devil.
