hey yall happy mothers day


well yesterday i talked with my whole family for mother’s day and it was really wonderful. Something really fun that i get to do in the phone calls is bear my testimony to my family. It makes me feel great. Yesterday after the video call i felt really awesome. it really inspired me to be a better me and a better missionary.
mmm about our area and what we did this week i don`t have that much to say.
let me think...

general feels about this area and my comp
Elder Esparza is a wonderful guy. Really meek and good natured. He also has a great sense of humor, probably the closest to mine than any other missionary that I’ve served with.
Madero is a great area, i think we can have a lot of success here. Right now we hardly have anything but  i think if we try hard we can make it happen.

covenant  power
this week i have also been thinking about the power of the covenant that we have with Jesus Christ. Well all you baptized fools know what i`m talking about. Well our part of the covenant is to offer Jesus Christ our hearts, broken and contrite. He has told us the way to do that in the sacrament prayer, "to be willing to keep his commandments, take his name upon us, and always remember him" And only when we do that can he touch our hearts and change us and make us what he wants us to be. He will turn all of our weaknesses into strengths, and all of our trials into blessings.

love you guys.

hey we had Christmas this week. we ate turkey and got to call our families. that was really nice. this week we also saved a cat. we were at like a little park gazebo and some little kids were next to us playing with this dying kitten. the cat was dying. he was crying and trying to get away, but his back legs didn´t work so he was just crawling and it looked really horrible. the kids told us he got hit by a bike. the little boy was like grabbing him and shaking him and it was pretty cold out. and it really seemed like the cat was going to die. so now we have a cat. he´s doing a bit better.  Elder Grilliot

New Camera! Elder Saico  My goofy smile look (Here is the gentleman that is blind that I shared in this week's letter.) okay well we have already got to go but man wasn´t it cool that i sent pictures this week? more next week probably some higlights from this week some of our friends told us some wack stories we talked with this guy who is really cool, he used so much drugs that he went blind, and then he left all the drugs and he told us that he is much happier blind than he ever was being an addict, he told us about the way that an addicts mind works and it´s really ugly. it really opened my mind. Drugs ruined his life and he has scars all up his arms because he tried to kill himslef with a razor. now he´s a really happy delightful blind man. his dad shined our shoes, his dad is ex police, he has some crazy stories too, he was almost killed a few times. like they kidnapped him ...

Muscle Boys Go!

I started teaching elder Saico some good phrases in english, he wants to go to school in America. One of the phrases that i tried to teach him was "Doof McMuffin, the greatest horseman that ever lived." but it didn´t stick. So this week we made a new power phrase, following our secret handshake, we throw our hands in the air and shout, "Muscle Boys Go!" At first he didn´t like it, but he began to realize that he could get me to laugh every time he says it, and so he uses it now to encourage me. Use Humor Earlier today i received some revelation that i was really needing. This has been a hard week actually. I´ve just been feeling grumpy and kind of stressed. And last night i had the funniest dream. I was hanging out with a bunch of guys from the NBA and they were just joking around, and in my dream i thought they were Sooo funny. like I’m almost sure that i laughed in my sleep. and i woke up and we went and bought groceries and i ate really well. i mixed scra...
