Well first of to tell you a little bit more about my companion, he is from Honduras. Just below Mexico. He has only 3 months in the mission this is his first transfer, The first companion is the Father and the following is the stepfather. so i am his step father. I am in the ward called the Garanja it is about 15 min from the Temple. We work pretty well together.
Guadalajara is a lot different place to work in the mission. The people here are a lot harder of heart. So Contacting and knocking doors doesn´t work at all. We have to look for ways to work with the members and gain there confidence. It is a ward here so that is cool. All my passed areas have been branches and the people there were a little bit more open to the gospel but the work can still be done. just got to work with the members a lot, lots of training, asking for references, less actives, exc. but i think it will be really good do do all these things in other areas. I have a package on the way i hope it gets home before Sadie's birthday. Take care got to go love you.

I lost my son
I dont know what just happened, The took me away from my son. i had only trained him for about 6 weeks and then they changed us out. i dont know why. but now i am in the city of guadalajara in a part called Garanja. my new companion is elder cordon. It really took me by suprise this transfer. but i will be the stepfather of Elder Cordon. This passed week was ok. Alot of apostacy that happens here easter week. It is called the holy week. they do a bunch of catholic things and not alot of people are in there homes so we didnt have a whole lot of succes. early this week are investigador Araceli, her bother got in a tragig accident at work and she didnt go to the confermacion the following sunday. Araceli within the passed 6 month three of here close family members have died. when she makes it out of all the trails she will be a really strong person. Hopefully a really strong member. I did learn a lot in my transfer with elder cervantes. I Have got to Go LOVE YOU ALL Elder long

Conference weekend
Well this week has been pretty good. we bauptized Pedro and Araceli this weekend between the second confrence on saturday and priesthood. It was pretty good but they still need to be confirmed the follow sunday and that has me a little worried but i am sure it will work out. I have tried to send photos from my camera but i think it has beetles or something. whatever i will just print some pictures and send them in the mail the following monday. As of now we do not have a lot of people to teach and it is the holy week here right know. when they celibrate the death and resurrecion of jesus christ. so we will see how much work we can get done. I am learning a tone of new things and it is cool to see the difference when i actually apply it. Take Care i love you all
