Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!! Sadly this holiday is not celebrated here in Mexico so there are not floods of people wearing green everywhere but supposedly Spring Break has started so there have been lots of Americans and cars everywhere! A nice brother from Arizona paid for our tacos last week, blessings blessings, blessings!

Tranfsers were this past Sunday and Hna Buendia and I are still together here in wonderful Puerto Peñasco! We are both excited and both learning lots and lots of things from each other, our investigators, our branch, area, everything. The main thing is to remember to smile, be postive and realize that just because the "results" that I am expecting to see arent always the results the Lord has and that sometimes we have to show our faith in His plan, because this is His work and not mine. 

This week we traveled to Caborca for a multi zone conference with Elder Johnson, the Area President of Mexico and that was fun, We got up at 330 AM and got back to Puerto Peñasco at 630 and then went and taught people until 9 and bed at 1030! Super long day but so worth it. I love the Gospel. Simply brings happiness to life. He taught us about the Plan of Salvation and how Jesus Christ is the only way to get back to our Father in Heaven. Christ is our Savior and our Redeemer. There is only one plan and we can choose to follow it or not but by following the plan, we are lead to eternal life. What more could you want for eternity?

This week a lady we teach was taken to the hospital, we arrived at her house just as the ambulance came, still dont know exactly what happened but the saddest part was that her son was outside smoking and acted as if nothing had happened. LOVE YOUR FAMILY! I love my family and am so grateful for all of the love and support that you all give me! Love you love you all so much! Start getting ready for general conference! 

Anyway just know that all is well here in Mexico, I love you all!
