Week Eighty-four: Goodbye Guadalajara, Hello Lázaro Cárdenas!

Well, after 18ish months in the city I have been transferred to the furthest zone of the mission!!! It is super hot and humid here. In the city, the climate is very mild and nice, but here its hot and sweaty! Its going to take some time to get adjusted, but im excited! The ward im in is named Palmas (if you want to look it up..... mom).

Pam's note: I looked up the area, and added the above photo and map :)

We finished my last few days in my old area with a baptism!
Livier and her daughter Valeria were baptized and confirmed Saturday and Sunday.
 It was a really spiritual experience and we felt the spirit really strong :D
Her parents (members) gave the opening and closing prayers and couldnt hold back
 the tears of joy they had. it was a really touching experience.

Luis Mendoza and I!
This is a young recent convert from the Reforma ward who went with us to teach lessons 2-4 times every week in preparation for his mission.
 Im gonna miss this guy!

My new companion is Elder Hogge! 
 A while back when i was still with Elder Martinez, we visited Lake Chapala and Elder Hogge, who was there at the time, gave us a tour and is now my new companion.  (Zach re-sent these photos from Week 77) Its the first time ive had an american companion and is really weird speaking English haha but its good because now ill be able to speak a little better when i get home!

My scripture to ponderize this week is John 16:33

Challenge: Find a new way to apply the atonement in your life. Sometimes we think that its just to forgive us of our sins, but thats not true. Read John 16:33 and think of how Jesus Christ and his atonement can help you in your life.

Have a great week!
