Elder Fox June 2, 2008

Alrighty Alrighty dont worry Elder Fox isnt poor anymore. We finally got a little bit of money to buy some normal food instead of just pure oatmeal. Last week i just got the information that my converts in Monclova just recieved callings in the ward and are progressing increadibly fast! I was more than happy to hear the news! They are amazing!

My bike seat broke this week so we did alot of walking, and then after three days we decided to just make a seat (we just tied a pillow over the metal frame of the old seat) haha it worked alright for about 10 minutes, no worries we found a good seat now, and my behind is being taken care of :)

There is a train that runs though town about twice a day so me and my comp this week decided to go a smash pesos! It worked really good and now i got some sweet suveniers to remind me of Hidalgo. I might make a few more and send them home to you guys.

Wednesday i had an awesome study session in the morning and learned a ton! Not nesesarily something new, but just a better understanding of how we are all children of God. My testimony has truely become stonger and has made a big change for me in my life and in my mission. I now have increased the power, purpose, and meaning ofmy prayers, i view others and the world around me differently, and i have felt a stronger love for my Heavenly Father and better understand the love he has for me and every single one of his children. I can honestly say that this has been a big turning point to me in my mission and even eternal progress.

I like the quote that says... Our entire perspective of ourselves, our worth, and what we can make of our lives is altered for good when we come to understand that we are Gods children and can become like him.

Friday we went on splits with the Zone leaders because one of them had to come to Hidalgo and interview Bety for her baptism on Sunday. So i was with Elder Torrantera all day long in his area... I have never walked so much in my life and after that day my body was completly DONE FOR!! I could not move by 9:00. That night i was relying on the promise made to the faithfull priestood holders of the church found in D and C 84:33, The RENEWING of our bodies! Lets just say on Saturday morning my testimony grew greatly in that perspecive also. The same night we bought Campachanas (HugE soft tacos) and i chopped all of my hair off.

The church is starting another comercial to give out DVD called... FInding faith in Chirst... its going to be a big help for us this month to find alot of new people to teach.

Sunday was the baptism of Bety Florez. We had been preparing her all week for it and it turned our awesome!! She is amazing and i have learned alot from her also. She is good at listening and acting according to the good feelings that come into her heart and mind. One of our investigators came to church with us this week (Julian) He was also at the baptism of Bety and we talked with him after and had him committed to baptism this next sunday.

The work here in Mexico is moving so fast it blows me away! Im loving every minute of it and look forward to all of the growing experiences that come my way. Love you all thanks for all of the support! Until next week, youll be in my prayers!Elder Fox
