9 months clocked in this past Tuesday, and what a crazy feelings it is. The year mark is looking a little too close right now, and it's astonshing to me to think of all the beautiful and spiritual experiences that these past 9 months have held, and how fast it's gone. I have grown so much, as a person, and as a son of a loving Heavenly Father. My relationship with Him has become such a keystone in everything I do, as I truly know that I can not do anything, nor be anything without His divine help. He loves us so dearly, and I have learned how to find, and focus on that love here in the wonderful world of Mexico, a gift that has no price, and one that I know I could only find here. 

Tacos with President for Zone Conference

To complete the 9 months in the mission, we had our first zone conference with our new President, President Domíguez! It was a super spritual event, he has a lot of good ideas for the future, and I can't wait to work with him! Not only was this zone conference intresting though because of the new President, but also of what happened after. Now like normal, after zone conference we had our  interviews, but with this being his first, he took a little longer to get to know all the missionaries. For pure luck, our district got picked to go last our of the interviews, so from 12 in the afternoon until 8:30 at night. A very, very long wait, but I got a lot of study time in, and we sang hymns with Hermana Domíguez which was a very cool moment. The hours pass, and now it's time for the interviews of my comp and I, but President said it was too late, so offered that we stayed in the house of the zone leaders for the night because we live crazyyy far away, and that we'd have our interviews in the morning. We accepted, got everything cleaned up, and then Pres offered us a ride to the house. As we got there though, we saw a street taco shop, and being that we hadn't eatten anything through the day, we got the special experience of eating tacos there with President at 9:30 at night. The next day I had an incredible interview with Pres to wrap up a zone conference to remember.

El Fin
With all the study time, I got to finish the Boom of Mormon in Spanish while waiting for my interview, and then later in the night got to pray again to God to know if it was true. And without hesitation, I felt this warm feeling of peace come over me, only confirming and strengthing my already deep testimony in the Boom of Mormon, and the truth of this church. I got the opportunity aswell to baptize a convert of the hermanas, and the spirit I felt during the ordance was undeniable. I know that everytime we do something to come closer to our Heavenly Father, He can make His presence in our lives even more notable, with happiness; a true happiness that lasts the eternities. I feel this happiness everyday am I here, and I also feel such a love for every single one of you, you all matter to me more than I can say. So, I hope you have a beautiful week, and I will talk to you all soon! 

Atentamente,
