¡RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY y 18 MESES!

ELDER HILL STANDING IN GIANT RAIN PUDDLE
We´re officially in the rainy season here in the State of Mexico. This time last  year I was in Tezontepec and it didn´t really rain there, but it pours pretty much every night. At home we say, "It´s raining cats and dogs!" but here we say, "The heavens are falling!" One afternoon everything flooded in our colony and there were public works trucks and firefighters out trying to unplug the drains and everything. The next day it was all gone. 

Alejandro is a 23 year old 'kid' we found this week thanks to a referral from Raul. He´s been pretty mixed up in drugs and not so great of friends but he wants to change his life around and be better. When we first showed up to Raul´s house we had planned on teaching the Plan of Salvation to Carina. He said to us 'hold on, I invited a friend.' We were surprised, and then entered Alejandro. We decided to just go along with the lesson how we had planned. Interesting to note that the very questions that Alejandro had were the questions that this subject answers. We had a great lesson and he accepted the invitation to be baptized. To be continued.... 

Raul and Lorena Guzman will be sealed this Friday! It´s super exciting to see hear that, and I´ll let you know how it goes next week. My how time flies. Speaking of flying,  here´s a neat little story for you....

There was a group of turkeys that wanted desperately to learn how to fly.  As they watched the sky, they saw other birds soaring on the winds, and were envious.
"We're birds, too," they said, "There’s no reason we shouldn't fly."  So, they asked the mightiest bird in the sky, the eagle, if he would teach them how to fly.  He agreed, and invited them over to his home the following afternoon.
The eagle was a great teacher, and the turkeys were quick, enthusiastic learners.  Before long they were lifting off and landing, and by the end of the day everyone was able to fly and soar on the wind.  They thanked the eagle, clapping him on the back and expressing their gratitude.  Some even hugged him.
Then they all went home, just the way they had come…..walking.

Let´s change what we need to change. We all have a great potential, being sons and daughters of God. Sometimes we experience great feelings and we learn great things, but until we apply them we will just keep walking along the same path. 

Love you all!

Hey there, 

Thanks for what you could send. It will be fine. I´m not sure what suits Dove is talking about. 
He´s in a different area. I´m giving away my black pinstriped suit to a kid who´s going on a mission in a few weeks but his room caught on fire last week and pretty much all his stuff was burned to charcoal. I´m sure you´ll understand. :) We´re going over today to help them paint the house. 

I gotta go. Love you. Tell the family hello.

(MA)Find out how much a NEW nice suit is. Ask Dove or ask around. Says they are cheap, he and Hyde or Holmes both got one, ask them. I totally understand and will replace! LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK!!
