amigos que tal como estan haha this week was pretty stellar
haha well mostly today because today was p day!!!!! almost as good as christmas
haha but it was so cool because we left our house at like 7 to go play soccer
at a church in the center of obregon haha our district played and it was super
tight haha my comp really is a proffesinal haha so good but i found out im not
to bad haha ill be cocky there but yeah everyone asked if i played in high
school or something so thats always a good thing when the latinos complement
you on your soccer skills haha. well the familia serna did not attend church
this past sunday :( :( but we are going to check up on them this week and
continue to teach them hopefully we can rekindle the fire and get the mom back
to church and have the kids be baptized we have a baptism for december 6 his
name is luis he has 13 years. and knows a ton about the church the problem is
his mom. we hope she lets us follow through with the baptism because in the
past he has had batism dates and she has said that she wants to wait more time.
but we will see :) and we have found some new investigators ones name is diana
the other beane they are both very good and diana is awesome we taught her mom
in the last lesson and they were both really receptive it was super cool so we
are going to try and set up a fecha de bautismal and get them to attend church.
haha so we had "halloween" this week haha its kinda funny here. they
dress up and everything and its halloween but idk its different for some reason
i cant really explain it haha but it was funny me and my comp were walking down
the street at night and there were this big group of kids trick or treating and
they come runnning up to us and are like trick or money trick or money trick or

Scripture this week: mosiah 17 in this chapter it is abinadi
and kind noah abindadi has taught the people of kind noah and king noah about
christ and that they need to repend the king and his servants do not like that
and they threaten to kill him. they say in verse 8 that if he takes back what
he said about christ they will not kill him, but abinadi is more faithful than
that i love verse 9 and 10 because he bears testimony that what he has said is
true and will not take it back abinadi is put to death but dies with a very
powerful testimony of christ and will be blessed in the life to come. a lot of
times we think that blessings from the church come in this life only, but we
know that there is life after this life yes we are going to recieve blessings
in this life but i think even more we will recieve more blessings in the life
to come if we are obedient, faithful, stand up for what is right and testify of
our savior. now i dont think any of us in these days will be put to death if we
share our testimony with our friends, but when our friends co workers or anyone
invite us to do something against or church are we going to give into
their offer or stand tall like abanidi and prove that our love for christ is
worth more than things of the world... this was worded terrible i know but i
loved this chapter and i read it in spanish so i probably didnt understand
everything right haha but i know that if we are faithful like abanidi and stand
tall we will recieve the grandest of blessings and we will not have room to
recieve it i hope you all understand what im trying to say haha sorry and i
love you all so much thanks for everything
