hello everyone so this week was so cool we were able to be visited by Elder Bednar and Elder Gonzalez and Bishop McMullin it was so cool and we learned a lot. and then on sunday Elder Bednar came to our stake and we had a special conference with him. so yeah also we were able to go and see some families today in one of my last areas we went and saw Salvador and also Sis Ana and her family and it was a bunch of fun seeing them before i leave. sorry that this is such a short letter but i got to go love ya elder heffron

hello everyone so happy mothers day, yesterday i was able to talk to my family so that was fun. i enjoyed talking to them i cant believe that i will be home in four weeks. so that is so wierd i cant believe how fast time has flown by here in the mission. so yeah on tuesday i completed twenty three months haha so yeah this week has been fun we contacted a referral taht was so cool we recieved this reference from the offices. and so when we contacted it we found out that raul and his wife are so great, raul told us during the week that he does want to be baptized and all so we are planning on him being baptized next week. so it was cool he went to church with us and loved it. so that is so cool he is really stoked for this next week since we have a sweet chance to hear from elder Bednar he is coming and visiting us at our stake building here this coming up sunday i know right how cool. haha. so yeah that was pretty much my week. so yeah the photos are me with elder reyes and his companion elder aguilar who has just barely completed one month the second one is a dog that is on top of the roof and it is so hot he is looks like he is thinking if the jump will kill him haha. and the third one is me with camila since i cant be with my niece i thought i would hug someones new born haha so yeah love ya all elder heffron

hello everyone this week was a great week we have been teaching some really cool people and we have had fun teaching them. and we are hoping that they will be able to be baptized in these coming up weeks. since they are both ready and all we are just need to finish teaching the rest of the principles and all so yeah not to bad haha, but yeah so this week we also had a party as a ward, which the men had to make a desert and the women had to try it, well not everyone made one but we did. we made choclate pudding pies. haha but the funny thing is i thought that it would be easy since in the states you can buy the packages of instant pudding but nope here they do not sell that so i found a receipe to make it from scratch and we gave it a shot and it was good, i wont lie we actually somewhat won, since not everyone did a desert so it wasnt like we had a contest but everyone told me that they loved mine haha so that made me feel good. since it was very hard haha since we had some techincal difficulties and all. haha. but ohwell all went well. okay love ya elder heffron
so the photos are 1 my pies, would have taken a picture of the after but forgot till we got to the church and by that time everyone ate them before i could get a pic haha
2 fish that was so cool
3 the party oh yeah and to all the mothers out there happy mothers day

april 27

hello everyone first off sorry that this lettter is going to be short since today Sister Jesperson made all us missionaries do spring cleaning so we were on our hands and knees cleaning away all morning long haha, but the house does look better so that is always good because i am going to end the mission in this house how weird i am now the oldest person in the mission by time i mean i am now starting my last change of six weeks so yeah today the generation that was bigger than me went home which was elder gade and elder medina which both were my friends so yeah i am very happy for them. i know my time will be coming faster than i know, since this change went by so fast, i am still with elder lopez and we are going to do awesome here since i am way excited to finish what i started here in the same place so yeah i cant wait haha but yeah just to tell you all this week we were able to baptize Yadira Fontes who was my investigator the first time i was here, haha i know how cool the thing is she has been inside the church for years, really more years than i do life haha, but she wasnt married but she finally convinced her husband to be her husband. so they got married on thursday and she was baptized on saturday by her son in law. since all her kids are members. so it was cool to be part of that for her. so yeah i love all of you i hope everyone is doing good ok love ya elder heffron

april 19

dear everyone this week was a great one in the mission we were able to baptize the kids of Horo and Maria they are recent converts that have barely a few months in the church, we baptized Rosaline and Horus. it was a good time seeing them enter the water of baptism following the great example of their parents. which is always good haha i know i have learned a lot of great things from mine. so yeah also great news we have found out that these coming up two weeks we have more upcoming baptisms which is always great but yeah so we are doing great me and my companion we have been working great with members and we are having fun doing it so for me everything is going great here in the mission i now have my flight plans so i know that i will be leaving soon how strange it doesnt feel like i have been here for that long to already be leaving haha.but i guess time really flies while you are having fun. so that is true here in the mission. on some sadder news my papa died yesterday in the afternoon i was called by my mom last night and she told me what happened so yeah it is sad to see him go, but i know he is in a better place and i do not have a problem with the plan of salvation and i hope nobody else does but if you do you better get on your knees and pray and read the scriptures until you too will understand Gods plan better. okay i know we will see him again.
okay so the photos are going to be of the baptism of the kids and the other one is the last photo i received of my papa

april 12

hello everyone so yeah this week was great, we were able to baptize some sweet people this week. but lets see this week on monday we played soccer and it was fun, our investigator isaias played with us, and then announced to everyone that he was gong to be baptized the next day. which was cool, then that night we went to the ward family home evening and he announced it again which was cool. so yeah on tuesday we had the baptism of isaias which was cool. and yeah it was special since we confirmed him also, since he will be out of town again this week to go to work so we wanted to get everything done all at once and not wait haha. so yeah and then we had a great week working with members. and then on saturday we were able to have the baptism of leo, he is the son of Max and Alice, they are members, and it was cool on sunday they were all there early and everything which was cool, since the first time i was here Max didnt always come to church but i hope everyone has changed for the better, so yeah it was a killer week, also i received packages from both my mama, and another one from my dad and cricket. so thank you all for those

hello everyone so yeah i am doing good i hope you are all doing great also, hehe, so yeah with conference and everything it was such a great week, but even better is that we went to the temple this past tuesday, which is cool, since i havent been since when i got here and i didnt know spanish which was hard haha, but yeah since the temple isnt in the mission we dont get to go often, but yeah it was special since my convert mauricio went to the temple to do baptisms for the dead with the stake so yeah that was cool since we all went i was able to see alot of people and it was a great time, so yeah last week, i told you how medrano is here visiting well his friend isaias also came to visit and he went to the temple with us and went to all the general conferences sessions and guess what he wants to get baptized tomorrow so yeah that is cool we will do it for him and another kid this week so yeah we are going to be working great this week lol. but yeah it is going to be a better week then last one which seems hard since with the conference and all, which i cant believe it was my last one, but it is okay i was actually in the same building as my first since i am in my first area, so yeah it feels cool haha. so yeah i hope you all had a great week also. love ya. elder heffron

hello everyone.so this week was cool, since we were able to recieve all of the references for the mission plan, here in the ward which is thirty, since we want five from every organization, which was cool since we were able to get more, and we had members working with us almost everyday so that was cool. i really like working with the members since they can help us reactivate our less actives and help befriend our investigators. so yeah also by viiting members and asking them for references we found out that a family still hasnt baptized one of their kids so yeah we are going to throw him in the water on the tenth of april so yeah that is good. so yeah lets see we found a member who has been living in utah for the past decade, and he was building temples up there in idaho and the one in arizona, so yeah that is cool, he has more time working for the church than being a member haha, since he only has a year in the church but longer building the temples he did the two new ones in idaho and the new one in arizona. so yeah this week has been fun, oh yeah medrano came back and so it was good to see him. he lived with me in apatzingan. so yeah i hope you all had a good week. love ya

hi everyone, so this week was cool being in my first area again. i have flash backs everyday haha it is so weird being in the same area again. but it is so cool. i am getting to see everyone that i knew before one more time. and the cool thing is the converts Lala, and Raquel are both active and that makes me the happies misionary in the world seeing that the people that i saw baptise are still active in the church and that makes it so worth it, haha. so speaking of baptisms we had one this week in camichines. yeah my investigator was baptized and how lucky that i had changes so close to be able to see her change. also rodolfo from patria went to the mission this week he will be serving in the state of mexico yeah how cool seeing him go on the mission. so today we played soccer and we had a good time. i accidentally dislocated elder hills hand haha, he tried to beat me and so we both kicked the ball and we both fell and he fell on his hand wrong and dislocated his thumb, but dont worry he will be okay i think. hehe. but yeah i hope he will be okay. so yeah that was my week in a nutshell but yeah me and elder lopez are working great here. so yeah have a great week. love ya elder heffron

maribel and her brother memo, he baptized her how cool

hi everyone this week was a killer week, lets see we finally baptized Mauricio ya it was awesome it was the coolest experience with him i will just sum it up for you all so i get it into the letter, ok so while we were teaching him on thursday to get him ready for friday we had such a great lesson that the spirit was felt so much, that we actually switched our plans a little bit in our lesson and somehow it all went perfectly so yeah that makes me happy so after his interview we went and told the bishop about the baptism and he told us that he just came back from the temple and that he was praying to God to let one of our investigator feel the truth and accept to be baptized so that was cool to hear since when he was in the temple we were having the interview happening haha. so yeah that is so cool. so my comp baptized and i confirmed him and he is way stoked to go to the temple in a year which i will be coming back to haha i cant wait. so today i had changes i am now in Loma Dorada yep where i started the mission is where i will probably be finishing that is so cool. haha. so yeah my comp is elder lopez. he was elder vasher´s comp last change, which speaking of is now in his house, i send him the best of luck with life. and being a member of the superman club haha. so yeah yesterday was elder crisanto´s birthday so we had some parties for him. also in my home there were some birthdays my dad´s on teh ninth and my mom´s on the eighteenth so i wish you both a happy birthday
