CARTTA #42 MEXICO!
Hey Fam!
Here we are in Junio! Crazy! I cant believe it! The 1 year mark is comin up quick. GO KATE AND ERIC, PREGO!!! Aldens gonna be a Big BRO! SO awesome! And i cant believe Trent is already home, nutty! When does Cameron get home?
Q´s
Ill look into it. the other secretary wants to do it too. if i have Q´s or if you can do anything to help me mom, ill let you know. i would like to vote just to say i did! ha
2. Story of the week?
UMMM i would have to say with Jonni. Hes a hopeful temple trip in a year ha, so we are trying to work alot with him. His wife is a strong member and comes from a strong family. her dad is one of the 7 stake presidentes in Merida or something. but she married a catholic! haha come on! we had a great few lessons this week. Two weeks ago he felt pressured when we put a baptismal date for the 14th of June and actaully told his wife that he didnt want us to return. She was devisated and started to pray to have his heart softened toward the message. And when we showed up for the lesson on THursday, he was ready to learn again and thats when his wife told us the story of what had happened over the past 2 weeks, with tears streaming down her cheeks. Jonni´s a great guy, would make a great member and baptism, but he just needs a little bit of time. i hope ill be here for when he feels ready. what helped a ton was that we had the 2nd councelor in the ward come with us to the lesson on thursday, and he just gave a great testimony of how he converted to the church, and to our surprsie, it was a very similar story with how Jonni is comin to the church, almost a perfect match. and that helped Jonni out alot. they are coming to church tomorrow, and we hope to keep him there for at least the 2nd hour, and would be amazing for the 3rd too!
3. We loved the story of Hernan--we are dying to hear if anything happened this week....
so hes listening to us. nothing really specacular came from him this week, but im grateful for the chance we have again to teach him again.

4. What are the plans the church has for August as far as Mitt Romney? I am so curious!
So come august, Mormon.org is coming out in spanish, ALOT better than it is. Presidente Salinas is beyond extadic about this release. As missionaries, we are told to start preparing and writing a profile about who we are, as Mormons, without the plaque, just plain old Richie Connolly. We are going to take a picture in street clothes and put our real names and they´re all going to go up online. when mines up, ill tell you! but you may have to learn spanish to read it! Also, as part of the lessons, we are going to have time set apart in planing to use mormon.org Every week to use the videos that will be releasing for the missionaries. for example, if we are teaching someone about faith one day, we leave Alma 32 in teh book of mormon and the video "etc" on mormon.org. the missionary work is going to the internet, and what presidente Salinas told us: "you will be able to tell your kids and write in your journals that you were in the mission when the work went digital." It should be specacular, and im excited to try it out when it relesaes. Especially in parts where there is a lot of touristsm, there are alot of people who know "the mormons" because of Mitt Romney, and the church is well aware of that adn taking advantage of it. So with the new mormon.org that will release in spanish in august, we will use the Mormon Boom to our advantage. If i think of more news, ill let you know next week!
Well the week went well, the work is good. the office was chill this week, the sun is unbelieveable hot, and i got a haircut ;) ! thats about it, and its time i gotta go. sorry its somewhat short. Thanks for the emails and letters. you guys are the beeeest! Laterrrr
