I cannot express myself, my feelings, this is it, the last email.
We had our baptism on Saturday and directly after we had a ward activity for fathers day
and I won the musical chairs competion, winning the 20 or more that
participated, I got a great reward as well, I was chosen to say the
prayer to bless the food. hahaha. My bishop is going to let me talk
on Sunday.
Saturday is going to be last interviews and session in the temple
with President and Hna Call and then I'lll go to church on Sunday then
go back to the mission home to have a dinner, fireside and testimony
meeting with the 13 of us and then we´ll go to bed and I'm leaving at
7 am to come home Monday morning.
I know that the Book of Mormon is true without a shadow of a doubt
and that these two years have been the best use of my time that I've
ever done in my life and that if we read and pray diligently the Holy
Ghost will work in us to bear testimony of the divinity and power of
the book but most importantly of the importance of the Atonement,
letting us know that there is a way to leave our sins and perfect
ourselves in Christ to be saved in the last day. This is the Lords
Work and it will go on until He says ITS DONE
I love you all, my compassion is for all

Yep, two weeks more and ill be on a plane, possibly vomitting and on
my way home to the United States of America, to good ole West Weber
where old George still is King.
We had a baptism with P, a 54 year old man who has been
recieving us for about 2 months. we had some pretty cool experiences
with him, he told us about a month ago , we showed up late one night
at his house and told us it was late, but dont worry, soy uno de
ustedes, pertenezco con usteds. It was a neat experience with him and
his baptizm, he asked that the bishop baptize him and that made the
bishop excited as well. P is really humble and thinks twice
before he opens his mouth, hes had a habit for a few years to read the
bible every morning at 6 am before he goes to work, so when we
introduced the book of mormon, he never had any problem completing the
reading assignments that we left him, and in the church one week they
gave him the gospel principal manual and george albert smith manual so
he started reading a little bit of everything and loves it all.
in the shoots for this weekend we have F, hes about the
same age, he use to be very arrogant, he reminds me alot of the crowd
that you see with the weber county farmers, cowboys and everyone. he
works for the state regulation of insects in the farmers fields in the
state of tamulipaus. he was working one day in a small town called
Aldama and the branch president of Aldama has his ranch and they came
accross each other and started talking and the branch president told
him hes a member of the church and long story short he taught him how
to pray, testified that the gospel would help fransisco and his family
and after a "2 to 3 hour hard talk" in the words of francisco, he
accepted to listen to the missionaries so he talked with his neighbor
, a sister in the ward to send the missionaries on over, and that he
wanted a Book of Mormon. this all happened about a month ago and now
he´ll be baptized father day weekend. funny side note, his wife tried
getting him goieng (molesto) with accepting the gospel, and asked him,
so if your going to get baptized, whats going to be your new name?and
he replied with a smile and in broken up english "Frank Smith" thats
awesome that your helping Erri know more about the Gospel, it will
bless his life and his families so much.
I love you all, I´ll write you one more time, i think and its coming
to an end super fast, I almost cant believe it.

Hello family,
This week we did more divisions, time sure is going by fast and each week seems like a day so I know its going to come fast, were already in june, not even a month away, I gave my last testimony in fast and testimony meeting in Mexico.
We have a few baptisms planned for these next two weeks and as well in the zone we have the fechas planned to accomplish all the goals so we're super excited. We're going to go to the temple this week Elder Camarillo and I, it seems like weve been together so long and worked with each other so much, we just might get sealed while we are there ahahahahahahah just kidding!
So it sounds like fun for the gang at home all the playing that your doing I'll be up there in no time.
I'm thinking about leaving clothes, bedsheets and things like that that I can buy in the US and try to take home some cool stuff, if I find time.
I love you all, keep reading and working in your callings in all diligence.

I am worried that my companion discovered this week that on my drivers lisence from Utah says that my eyes are brown, and there not so I dont know what thats all about, I've had it for more than two years now and I've never noticed that, but they let me in about wherever I want so im going to make it home, even if I have to swim el Gran Rio.
Well I dont know what to write to you all anymore, I think ive said about all I can......
We did divisions this week, were actually doing them about everyweek, we came up with a game plan to keep the elders on their toes to complete their goals this change. We did divisons on the 18th and the elder and I found a guy who was a lucha libre wrestler for 57 years, he started when he was 13 and now he is an old man, in his house he has a bunch of memorials of pictures and and things it was one of the funniest experiences I've had, I could not have come to Mexico without knowing Nacho Libres trainer hahaha his stage name was "Relampago Gutierrez, el orgullo de Tampico" and he was filmed in a few movies with a famous mexican lucha libre wrestler named "el Santo" it was so neat to know him, and come to find out the next day was a holiday that not many people know about, not even in mexico, National Lucha Libre Day ahahaha.
Elder Fernandez made me a grandpa in the mision, he recieved a new misionary from Morgan utah
love you all bye
