Lets just jump into it!! Well, México has still been absolutely going off. Weve been having a whole ton ash falls and in fact two days where everytime we went outside we had to wear masks. Also, we had one of the biggest hail/lightning/thunder/Rain storm of all time and all the streets flooded and we got soaked of course. Also, pretty much all of Atlixco lost power and so we had to cancel all of our lessons which kind of sucked. So we had to go to the store and buy a bunch of Virgen Mary and Saints candles to light our house which is kinda funny. Also, something epic has been happening this month. So basically one month ago we contacted this one dude who lives in a town in our area in a HUGE house. And he let us in and after the appointment he told us to come back in a couple of days. And so a couple of days passed and we went back and he wasnt there. And so this happened to us for 3 weeks in a row and after 3 weeks he finally answered to us. But it turns out that he just casually went...

Whats up everyone?!?! This week was absolutely EPIC!!! Im talking miracles, a whole bunch of progress with our friends, and very epic food from my very good friends the Poblanos. Anyways, lets just hop right into it, shall we??? Alrighty boys and Girls first of all, México has been absolutely GOING OFF this week. Like weve had a thunder, lightning, and rainstorm every single day this week and you know it really sucks when youre in the middle of nowhere in the mexican countryside without an umbrella suffering through it. Also, Popo EXPLODED this week!!! We were walking back to our house in the morning when we heard a huge BOOOOOOOM and the ground started shaking a lit bit. And we looked at the volcano and it was one of the biggest smoke plumes ive seen. And then we got back to the house and the ward starting lighting up our group chat about warnings from the government about it and about the ash fall that was coming. It was sick and as we were walking we could see all around us the ash ...

Hey everyone!!! I hope that you were all able to have an absolutely amazing easter and celebrate the resurrection of Jesús Christ this week. We had an absolutely amazing week so here we go!! Ok so we had a really cool initiative this week where our entire mission woke up like 10 minutes earlier to study Holy Week. In the gospel library app, there was a study program of what happened everyday of Holy Week that the savior did. It was really awesome and it was an amazing way to start off each day. Also, we had a special easter devotional yesterday morning!! We all woke up at 6 and we had a devotional with the entire mission where we watched the sunrise together!! It was such a special experience and we sung songs and heard some words and experiences from our president and other missionaries. We also experienced something terrible yesterday as well. During the middle of our weekly planning, we heard thunder and saw lightning, and so naturally we went up on the roof to check out what was ha...

Hey everyone whats going on?!?! Happy April!! Wow April already that is absolutely crazy!! I hope everyone is doing amazing and that they enjoyed their General Conference. Alright this email is gonna be a short one but here we go. Watching General Conference on the mission is awesome!! It definitely is a little bit different but still was so good. Me and the boys of Libertad watched the majority of the conference in the High Counsel room and it was awesome. We absolutely raided the stores before the conference and we ate like kings with our takis and horchata. One thing that I really missed about the conference was hearing the prophets and apostles voices. Since we watched it in Spanish, everything was voiced over and it was weird not to hear the real voices of our living prophets, but all of their talks were amazing. One talk that I absolutely loved was by Bonnie H Cordón. I loved it when she said, "Never waste and always enjoy the oportunity to testify of Jesús Christ." You...
