Cado Law is Moving!!!!!!! I wasn't expecting it but i guess i have transfers tomorrow so i will be getting a new companion and a new area. I'm pretty much feeling all emotions possible happy sad, nervous but mostly excited and i think I'm ready to change things up. I'm going to miss Enrique though super tons and have to say bye to him tonight and i wish that i was able to baptize him while i was there. He had his interview for baptism but did not pass that little stinker haha because he still doesn't believe Joseph smith haha but its all good and he still came to church yesterday and i know with time and prayers he will eventually go swimming. SO keep praying for him i have a testimony of the power of prayer and love the story in the book of Mormon about Alma the younger when he was struck down by an angel and many times we don't realize, but it says it was because of the "prayers of his father" so keep praying.

I am so truly grateful that i was able to start my mission in Tlachichuca it is truly a special place in the mission and i have learned so much its crazy. First of all i have learned just how blessed we are and how much we have and we need to be truly grateful. We honestly have such a good life compared to basically everyone here and we just always need to remember to count our blessings. 

I have been slapped with a big hand of humility here. These last three months have been the hardest three months of my life but i wouldn't take back a day because everything is for a reason and i know i needed to learn lots of stuff. The first was humility i know before the mission i was very prideful and cocky and i know after the mission i will still have my fair share of pride but at least not as much as before. I know now that i need to rely on the lord for everything and that i cant hardly do anything on my own. 

One of my goals as i started my mission was to grow my relationship with God and Christ and after these three months i can say i have a much better relationship with them. Many times as the language barrier is hard especially the first month i have no one to talk to except our father in heaven and i know he is listening and loves us and answers prayers. 

The last major thing i have learned about in Tlachi is about happiness. Happiness has absolutely nothing to do with money. Some of the members here are the happiest people that i have ever met in my life and trust me its not because they have tons of money. Happiness is living this gospel and just loving life and knowing that you can spend time and eternity with your family and friends. 

As forTlachi this week we have been trying and searching for new people like crazy. Everyone seems to give us fake addresses or they are never home but we did find a couple good people that we can teach. One is Pedro's brother and he is blind and we have been searching for Pedro tons and he is never home but his blind brother always answers so we decided to ask him if he wanted to listen and he said yes so i'ts great cause hes the one investigator who cant run away from us haha. We also found a sweet family that listened to missionaries for 6 months in Tennessee and they are sweet.

That's about it fam.  Love you guys and stay AWESOME: Elder Law the 4th
