And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually been born of God?  Have ye received his image in your countenances?  Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?

So this was the last week of the transfer and it flew by.   Me and Sanders are both staying here in Guaymas.   We're both super happy with it because this area and companionship are awesome:)   

Let's see... On Wednesday we made friends with the police here and now they buy us hotdogs when they see us:)   Also on Thursday we helped teach some English classes at the stake center.   There are some gringos that live in San Carlos that teach the classes, but we come and help.   It's super fun:)

The best thing that happened this week (besides talking to you guys) was that Normalicia y Salvador came to church this week.   We honestly didn't think they would come but they came and they brought their two kids.   At the end of church Salvador looked at me and said  "Thank you for sharing this with us, We're going to be here every Sunday from now on".   It was such a simple sentence but it hit me hard.   We take the gospel for granted sometimes but our investigators can see just how special it is.   I'm so thankful for the opportunity I have to be a representative of Christ and share this gospel.

I'm also so very grateful for my Mom and all the help and sacrifice she has given me to get me to this point. Heaven knows it wasn't easy;) But it was worth it.... I hope.  HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.   I love you mom and I'm so grateful for everything you've done for me!!!  I wouldn't be here in the mission if it weren't for all your help, and I wouldn't be who I am today without your guiding example in my life.  I love you Mom!!!

You truly do have a wonderful mother. I know I'm prejudice, but she is a very spiritually strong, loving woman that isn't afraid of sacrifice. She loves you as I do, and very proud of you. Much love, Grandma

I love the lessons you are teaching me each week. The statement was simple and you are right we take the gospel for granted. You rock Elder. Keep up the great work.
Mothers are the best. You do have a GREAT mother. So happy you know it.
