Que Onda!!!!!!!!!!! familia!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally this week the climate changed!!! The days are just perfect and I mean perfect. Blue skies a cool breeze and mariachi bands what more could you want haha!! I do have to say that I freeze my butt off in the morning!!! It's not cold here it's just that I'm really used to the heat here, so I'm freezing haha I wrote a letter to someone and told them that I have no clue what I'm going to do when I come home to Utah in January!!! haha but it will be alright!! The days are beautiful and this has caused me to reflect a bit on home and how beautiful Utah is!!! I love my time in the ranch!!!!! I love being a ranch hand!!!!!!!!
Family yesterday was a super special day for me and I was just filled with the spirit the whole entire day and it was unexplainable!!!
It was fast Sunday!! My favorite!! I was sitting with some of my investigators and my heart started pounding and my chest started burning. I knew, I had to give my testimony to my brothers and sisters. They needed something. All I could think about was Grandpa Smith. My heart was full as I walked up to the pulpit. I already had tears in my eyes because of the experience that I had with grandpa in the MTC is something that I hold so dear to my heart. I told them I was happy and I was to share my testimony with them. I was so happy because the day I arrived in the ranch I couldn't speak any Spanish, but now I can speak and I can express myself. I told them that I wanted to give my testimony about the family and how the family is so special to me. I continued to tell them about my Grandpa Smith and the relationship that I had with him, also the experience that I had with him when I was in the MTC. I was so touched by the spirit the whole time (that means yes I was in tears) and as I looked out over the congregation I couldn't look at anyone because everyone was crying. I continued and I bore my testimony of my experience and how families can live together forever through the beautiful plan that our Heavenly Father has for us!!!!! I know the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IS REAL family!!!! with all my heart. After I finished the old bishop that got released a week ago bore his testimony. His words put me in tears ultra vez. He expressed to the ward how grateful he was for me and how when I arrived I couldn't speak any Spanish but now I’m speaking fluent. He expressed how I bring a spirit with me wherever I go but a spirit that is different than the other missionaries a spirit that is really special. He said that I am always welcome here in Apatzingan and I will always have place to stay if I return. He gave me gradulations. I can't express how I felt and I'm not trying to "brag" but these words really touched my heart and after sacrament, I went up to the old Bishop Sanduval and told him thanks so much. He said come here elder and gave me a hug. But it was a real hug. He is a big ole boy so I got a big ole bear hug for like a minute and we cried a bit again. After the hug he said "Elder Yo Quiro" I will never forget this man he treats my like his son and here in the mission he is like a father to me and I can go to him with anything! I love my ward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The day gets better!!!!!!! Mario and Viri entered into the waters of baptism today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never had a baptism so special an all of my mission. I love these two people with all of my heart and they are truly miracles in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to tell you more but it will have to wait another week because I need to go work!!!!!!!
