Hey Family,

Well I hope you guys all enjoyed the holiday weekend. You are probably asking how I knew, well we don't recieve the mensualidad until tomorrow because of the holiday weekend over there. That's how I know.

Well this week was great! I mean we really worked hard and didn't see a ton of fruits which was kind of sad, but it's all good. We also had interviews with president this week and I'm finally going to be leaving this area and going to another one next week. All of my converts are really sad that I'm leaving and even a lot of the members and well it is kind of hard, but it's just something that has to happen, but the cool thing is that everyone has invited us over for dinner so we basically have a dinner appointment everynight this week. (normally we don't eat dinner until we get home at 9- 930 each night).

Something interesting that happened this week is that I got stung by a bee at 9:30 at night on Saturday. Really weird! A stinkin bee. I haven't been stung by a bee since I was 8 I think, and being that it was cold and dark when I got stung and inside a car! It was really funny though! Well everything is going well over here. I hope all is well at home!

I love you guys!

Hey Family,

Happy Valentines day! Things are going wonderful down here in Mexico! Well, other than there were a lot of places that got flooded last week because of how much rain there was! Luckily here in my area it didn't flood, just rained a ton for like four days straight. It was crazy. We got super soaked everyday, but the Lord blessed us for working and we didn't get sick. What a miracle!

It was cool we baptized a 14 yr old girl on friday. We asked her on Tuesday if she wanted to wait until Saturday to get baptized, because originally it was set for Friday and she said she didn't want to have to wait any longer so we ended up doing it on Friday. It was a really cool experience because she lost her mom like 2 months ago and after she got baptized she shared her testimony of the church and how the ward has basiclly been her family. It was cool.

Oh and before she got baptized, we were filling up the baptismal font and I was checking to see if the water was still coming out because the font was almost full and don't ask me how, but I fell in! My companion thought it was hilarious! So did I, so I went out and was sitting in the sun trying to get dry and at first everyone that was arriving to the church thought I was trying to tan or something, it was quite funny!

Elder Hunter, All Wet!


Anyways Camila was confirmed on Sunday along with Anthai (mom) and Sara (daughter) that we baptized last week.

Honestly, I don't know how people do it. We find them and 3 weeeks later they get baptized. I dont know if I would have enough faith to do it. It all has to do with the power of teaching by the spirit, these people start to see blessings from the second we step into their houses. It's so cool. It's funny, because they usually don't tell us anything until after their baptism and then that's when we find out why they really wanted to get baptized. It's really cool!

Worn out shoes. . . .

Oh yeah, awesome news! Teresa and Edgar are getting sealed february 27. I'm so excited. I get to go with Elder Romney. It's going to be so cool! If you don't remember, she is my first convert my first door contact ever.

Well, I love you guys! Take care. Tell everyone "hi" for me! oh yeah the system changed my lds mail hooked up with google so we got some sweeter emails now! It's not so old school!

Familia,

I'm so glad to hear that everyone is doing awesome at home! Well first things first. I got the card and christmas card and money from grandma! Please tell grandma thanks for the money! I told the district that if we doubled our goal for the month, I would take them out for tacos! That would be 18 baptisms, which I kind of doubt but we have the people in enseñanza so it would really be awesome if we can reach that goal!

Zone conference was awesome! I always love what president has to say! You can really tell that he really loves us and wants the best for all of us in the mission and more importantly after! Also, we had three baptisms this week and two confirmations. Really, the Lord is just blessing us like crazy and its awesome! I've really been able to see everything I've learned throughout the mission come together in these last few months. Now the hard part is helping all the other Elders in my district get to the same point where I am at and well it seems to be coming along little by little!

Well I love you guys! Take Care!

Love, Elder Hunter
