Eric's baptism ... love the smile on Elder Park's face!
Friday, August 24th
Elder Park spent his preparation day at the
El Tepozteco Arqueological Park
and those cute little animals are called "Coati".
Where's the sign ... "Don't feed the animals"?

(Merry-go-round)
This past week was really hard! We always schedule citas with the
people and they always are not there. The people here in Amilicingo are
completely different from the people en Estacion which is just about 10 min
away but the people here I guess just don’t want to talk about the gospel.
So this past week has been tough with our investigators and finding
nuevos and teaching. It’s tough to learn Spanish when you aren’t teaching
lessons.
On a much better note I baptized Eric
this past week!!!!! I practiced everyday to make sure I said it right and I
did. Eric is just awesome he is already converted to the Gospel of Christ
and he knows that it is true. This Sunday he received the don del
Espiritu Santo and it was awesome to see him be confirmed as a member of the
church. The best part about yesterday was that not only did he receive
the Holy Ghost during priesthood he received the Aaronic priesthood. It
was a surprise but it was super awesome to see him receive the priesthood.
So I have been here in Mexico one month and I have loved everything about
it. It’s been really hard but I know what I’m doing and it’s fun to be
preaching the gospel in another language that I can barely speak and can’t
understand very well.
The ward
is pretty good in Amilcingo and they feed me a ton. Don’t worry about that,
just pray for my Spanish. My safety is
fine here in Amlicingo trust me it kind of reminds me of the suburbs in the
states.
The weather here is amazing but y’all
probably already know that, and the food of course. Elder Hessing and I are getting along great.
He’s a good missionary and he has been helping me a lot with Spanish and
everything. A lot of the American
elders say I can speak better than they could when they came here but I want to
understand also. If Christ was perfect
and had to suffer all things why should we think that it should be easy for us?
Spanish is tough and I’m doing my best everyday!!! Well today was
p-day and I have some awesome pictures of a small temple en the mountains. The view was awesome.
Love y’all so much and I’m grateful for
your support and prayers.
Elder Park enjoy the fotos
