I hope everything is going good up there in Utah, this week for Elder Meraz and I has been really great! We killed a HUGE rat in the front of our house, we went and saw alot more ruins, and we had an amazing baptism! This week, we baptized a woman named Marisol who is the mother of Yadira. How we found her was about 3 weeks ago we had a testimony meeting in church, and Yadira got up to bear her testimony! She talked about how when she was a little girl her mom left their family, and she hadnt seen her mom in like 10 years. She said how she was praying that she would find her mom, and after a few days, they got a knock on the door, IT WAS HER MOM!!! Yadira said that she knows that when she prays god is listening to her, and she knows that prayer works. After the meeting, Yadira came up to talk to me and Elder Meraz and asked us to go talk with her mom. The mom of Yadira, Marisol, accepted baptizm in the first leccion, and after two and a half weeks we baptized her. Because of the example of Yadira, the rest of her family is coming closer to christ, and we are working with some of the other members of her family right now so maybe in the future they will get baptized. So i hear that you all have been talking with Azael!! Thats awesome!! Azael is a really cool dude. But i need to ask you all not to use skype with him when we are over at his house, Azael thinks its funny to tempt us to brake the rules, but me and elder meraz wont brake the rules. Well i´ve gotta go, i will write you next week! i love you and miss you all a ton! Adios!

Hey Everyone!!
Mom im glad your lesson went good!! thats awesome that you love your calling so much! So i hope everything at home is going well. And chase, thanks for that photo bro!! i showed Elder Meraz and we both laughed pretty hard haha! So things here have been really good this week, we have been having alot of success. About two weeks ago, our stake president asked Nery and Vincent (two of our converts) to give their testimonies in stake conference. Nery and Vincent were pretty nervous because they have never done anything like that before. So Elder Meraz and I went over to their house and gave a lesson on testimonies and how they just need to give feelings from their heart. Yesterday was our stake conference, and it just so happens that a 70 came to speak also, so Nery and Vincent were pretty nervous. They did AMAZING!! hearing them give their testimonies was one of the most spiritual experiences of my mission so far. Even though they have only been members for about a month, they have testimonies as strong as someone who has been a member their whole life. Nery and Vincent were definitely some of the chosen people for Elder Meraz and I to find out here. it is amazing to see how the church has changed their lives. They have a goal of getting sealed in the Temple next year, but not just any Temple, they want to get sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. Me and Elder Meraz told them that for their first time in the temple, they are going to want to go through a temple in Mexico because it will be in spanish, but they dont want too. They have started taking lessons to learn english, and they have started saving as much money as they can in order to fly to Utah and get sealed in the Salt Lake Temple, they have so much faith!! When they go, i want Mom and Dad to go with them. Also this week, our ward mission leader said that he has been talking with you all over skype!! Asael is a hard worker and a great leader of our ward. Alright well i gotta go, i will write you next week at the same time!

HOLA FAMILIA!!!!
Hey everybody hows it going!! Sounds like things are going great up there in Utah! And yes mom i am definitely used to being called Elder Snow, it sounds wierd to me when i think people used to call me Jonny ha!! Im glad your having fun in your new calling mom! that sounds great!! So this week i have completed 4 months in the mission, i seriously cant believe i have been gone this long! i seriously think time just goes by faster in Mexico! KODY GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT!?!?! hes ok right? and yes i would love an email from him. So this week was really good, we taught a ton this week! We also baptized a 13 year old girl named Juliett! it was really cool. About 3 weeks ago a member called us and said that we should go visit a lady on her street, so she gave us her address and we went to see her. It turns out that this new lady is about 40 years old, she is a return missionary of the Veracruz Mexico Mission, and she has been inactive for about 15 years. So what we did was we reactivated her and her family, and baptized her 13 year old daughter who is Juliett! It's been really fun visiting their family because the mom tells us awesome mission stories from her mission. On Friday this week, we had a primary missionary activity! It was a blast, the whole primary got together on friday, they all dressed up in their sunday clothes, they put little missionary tags on that say FUTURO MISIONERO, and we went and visited a bunch of our investigators, it was a blast! there is nothing more powerful than a sincere testimony of a little boy or girl from the primary. I love the ward im in because we always go out and do fun activities like that. Spanish is getting easier and easier, i can for the most part understand most of the stuff people say, if they say it really slowly haha and yes i have to concentrate my flippin brains out too. Alright well i better go, i will write next week about this same time. OH! and one more thing, there is a family in this ward that has been really really good to the missionaries, we love them! they are la familia Franco. Their daughter claudia is taking a trip up to utah to stay in salt lake for a few weeks. She has told me she is kind of scared about her flight because she has to go through the Pheonix airport and she doesnt speak very good english. So i gave her dads number, just in case she gets lost in Pheonix or Salt Lake, she has somebody to call. So dad, if you get a call from a mexican lady in the next few weeks or so, just help her out, and maybe take her out to dinner or something too, she is really cool! ok well i gotta go, i will talk to you later! I love you all!!
