Queretaro Mexico Mission: 3 Weeks Left

Well family, I am doing great. Honestly, I am putting baptismal dates with investigators for after I go. I feel weird doing that, But it is a good feeling, knowing that I am leaving something for the other missionaries that come after me. Today we visited Dolores Hidalgo and I got to see some old faces, and it was awesome. I feel like I am able to give my all and complete what the Lord wants me to do. But as the time gets closer I get a little more worried every time. I am kind of stressed out about coming home, but that is normal before a big step in your life :)

 Anyways, I am doing good, working hard, and I will until I am done. Take care and see ya soon!! :)

Love

Queretaro Mexico Mission: 5 Weeks Left

My new comp just finished his training and he is super excited to be on the mission. He just needs a little more discipline with getting up and everything :) He is a little lazy with getting up on time, but he will get better. Crazy! I only have 5 weeks left! Say hi to everyone for me!! Nothing much to report! But life is good and I am happy!

Queretaro Mexico Mission: 6 Weeks Left

Don't have a lot of time but I got transfers! I went to a little place called Silao in Guanajuato. I am with Elder Vazquez, who just barely finished his training. Don't have much to tell ya but it is pretty good so far!!  But I am actually filling out my itinerary right now for my flight back home, so I am going to ask you some things real quick :) Saying goodbye to everyone was hard, but we got to say goodbye to everyone we wanted to.

Queretaro Mexico Mission: 7 Weeks Left

This week went quite well, no complaints, actually, better than that, it was fantastic, no joke. Something amazing that happened this week is that.... actually a couple things :) 1) We have officially reactivated 3 families. Every single one came to church and are going strong. 2)We have one investigator that is amazing and she is going to be baptized this Saturday. She came and everything was good. Then, out of the blue, a family that we have never seen walked in and sat down. We talked to them afterwards and they told us that they are from Queretaro and just moved here. She is an investigator and so is her husband. She had a baptismal date for the 30th (this saturday) and wanted to continue with it!!! 2 baptisms! :D life is pretty good and I am very happy :) 

The ward is great and transfers are this Sunday! Not so happy. I think I will be staying because it will be my last transfer. That is very weird to say. So I am doing good, still don't have my flight information. I talked to an Elder who is going home and he told me he didn´t get it until 4 weeks before he left. So it is a possibility that I will have to wait until then. I love you guys and miss you!

Queretaro Mexico Mission: 8 Weeks Left

The baptism, this past Saturday,  went pretty smoothly (they just got there 30 minutes late). But it was very sweet. She got confirmed yesterday and yeah! It was pretty great, not gonna lie. Ilich didnt go to church because he got sick, but he is going strong. And the dinner that Sister Sepulveda gave us was cheese burgers, so amazing! The work here is pretty much the same, hard but very rewarding. I was talking with the asistant last night (he is going home with me) and he told me that we had 8 weeks left, 7 weeks and 6 days more tomorrow. You are not the only one who is excited for September 12th :P Nothing much to report, Life is good and grand :) Say hi to everyone there, I miss you guys, Love you and will be seeing you soon! also, transfers are next sunday.

Queretaro Mexico Mission: 9 Weeks Left

Sister Sepulveda friended me on FB and I asked Alex about her.  

-Stephanie

Sister Sepulveda is easily one of the most legit sisters ever, she loves us because her son is on a mission in Costa Rica and she has an amazing testimony! She also speaks english :) But more importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!! I LOVE YOU AND you are the greatest mother a son could ask for, and more. I love you more than I can say mom. Thanks for being a mom that was always there and always ready to help and love, not only your own children, but everyone around you. You truly understand your calling as a mother. 

This week was very good, an investigator went to the temple with the ward, so he is locked and loaded for baptism. This Saturday we will have the baptism of a girl whose family we reactivated, we are very very excited for that. This has been one of my favorite areas by far :) even though it has also been one of the hardest, I truly love it here! I think I will finish here (but honestly who knows?). Nothing new, life goes good, as well as the work of the Lord. I am completely and utterly happy! I miss you and love you guys. Take care!

1)I never showed you guys the outside of my house! It is one of the nicest houses EVER! (for missionaries at least)

2)I found this in my bag. I totally forgot I had it. It is definitely the most mormon thing I own.

Queretaro Mexico Mission: 10 Weeks Left

Finally met the new Mission President!! We met with them Wednesday and they are the nicest people ever! President Williamson served a mission in Argentina and his spanish was kind of lost, he wasn't used to speaking it. I felt super bad for the Sister Williamson! She doesn't speak a lick of spanish, and I helped her translate for the multi zone conference, and she just feels a little over her head. I gave her some words of encouragement and all the Americans talked to her and got her happy. They are super great people and it is the easiest thing to love them. I didn´t even try hard :) hahahaha We have a legit guy, Ilich, who accepted baptism and is a for sure on his baptism. 

This Monday we got permission to play together the 2 zones and is was super fun. Everyone enjoyed it, even though from time to time it got heated, we were able to cool it down (20 year olds being 20 year olds). And all in all, the week was quite good, no complaints!! I love you guys and miss you a bunch!! See ya in 10!
