Happy New Year to everyone!

It's crazy to think that my sister got married while I'm on my mission! Wow wow wow but it's okay because my cardboard replica was there ! I just hope she gets what she deserves, nothing else. This week I had a lot of time to reflect on all the things that I have done this past year. I just can't believe it that exactly a year ago I was getting ready to start my second semester at NAU and exactly one year later I'm out here in Tabasco. It's okay because in a year and a half I will be at BYU! Yessssssssss, I was accepted about 2 months ago for the people that didn't know!!!!!!!!!! #BYUProvo 

I couldn't be happier being here. After 7 months of being a full time missionary I have learned a lot. It has been hard, but not impossible. Everyday I learn so much that is going to help me later in my life! I have also learned that there will be hard times, no matter what you are doing, but if you are focus and obedient everything will turn out right! I was also able to think about how grateful I am for having such a nice caring family that support me with anything. I am grateful for all the things that I have, thanks to them. Throughout this time I had to think, I also came to a conclusion that I have to keep improving in everything that I do. Right now I am currently in a Trio with the secretaries. After being with the assistants for 3 weeks we were able to baptize! It was a great time being with them. I can tell you I have learned some things from them that will help me here. 

Now, I'm going to be moving in to another house, which is alright because it's literally 5 houses down. I still don't know who my official companion is going to be. That also means I will be switching to another ward. I know everything will turn out great!

Thanks everyone for writing me!" For those of you that haven't wrote me it's okay I forgive you guys! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. I will talk to you guys later !

Merry Christmas all the way from Tabasco!

Wow, this week was cool! I had the opportunity to Skype my family! It was cool being able to talk to them after 6 months and tell them all about how wonderful Mexico is! Haha. Well this week I was just working with the assistants and the secretaries. I believe this is the last week I'm with the assistants, they can't handle my wonderful teaching haha jk. This week we also had a Christmas dinner with the mission president. It was awesome!

My first Christmas here and it didn't feel like December! It just feels like another normal week! I guess it's normal for a missionary. I'm just out here working hard.... in the offices. The work right now is a little different. Instead of teaching all day, I'm out here trying to help out missionaries with some paper work. I'm a worker that has those 12 hour shifts. I'm soooo glad I'm going into the medical field. lol 

Well we are about to enter a new year, and I'm so excited to be here. Although it might be hard I know that it will be worth it in the end. I hope everyone has a wonder week! I'll talk to you guys later!

P.S.  Yay. Christmas baptism

Writing on Saturday? #Sinner

Yeah well its official, I am sinning for using a computer on a Saturday on my mission!

I'm just kidding guys, I will never be disobedient! My P-Days have officially changed to Saturdays! So last week was transfers but they called us and told us that Elder Aguirre and I were both going to stay in Pomoca! That Monday we went to the ADO (bus station) to help out with all the missionaries that were going to be traveling. On the way back we stopped by the mission office because President Morales wanted to talk to me! We arrived at the mission office and he just took me into his office and start asking me how I feel about the mission, if I am obedient, etc. After that he told me that he had a special assignment for me. He said that he wanted me to help around in the office. Of course I accepted!! This is such a nice opportunity I have to help around. Al though some days I have to sacrifice time from our area, it’s okay because it's once in a lifetime experience to be around President Morales. 

For right now I am in a trio with the assistants. I'm going to be in a trio for a couple of weeks, but it's alright because I get to learn from them. I'm really excited to see what the future has in store for me. OH YEAH, I also get to skype in 2 weeks! How awesome!!! 

But here comes the best part! I am living in one of the best houses in the mission! This house is huge and every room has clima (A/C)! You are probably wondering why we still use clima, but tbh it's still hot here in Tabasco. 

We also get to go to the temple every Saturday, which is even better! Its soo cool!! I'm thankful for this opportunity! The message to every future missionary is, Be 100% obedient and work hard! 

I hope everyone has a nice week! Enjoy this wonderful time of the year! Be thankful for everything you guys have! If you guys haven't watched this video, I recommend you watch it right now! Go Go GO!
