So this week, was a great week. Lets see on Monday we had interviews with the president to talk to us about the changes in the mission. Which aren’t that many, but enough that he wanted to tell us. We are going to the basics of the rules, since it is really easy either we are going to be obedient or not. But we know if we are obedient we will be able to do miracles here in the lords work so yea we are going to be obedient. Lol. But seriously it is true. The President Jesperson is new and has a lot of great new ideas to make us even better. So that is good. So speaking of a change we now have more assistants that travel for the president. And they go to all the areas and help us be better. And this past Wednesday Elder Merquiadez and elder McKibben, were with us Merquiadez was with me and McKibben was with Vasher. And it was cool having the assistants with us was cool, since they have a lot of ideas how to teach and it is cool to learn from them since there is a reason that they are the assistants so it is good to learn from them. Lol. But we did learn a lot.Sorry that this week there wasn’t that much, but this next weeks will have more since we are expecting baptisms this coming up week.okay

So this week was a very special event here in Apatzingan, since this past week was the celebration of the signing of the Mexican Constitution. And the cool thing was that the signing of the constitution, was done here in Apatzingan, so yea there were a lot of parties and even a parade, which we went to since we knew a lot of people that we knew that walked in the parade, since all the schools walked in it. It was cool they even had people on horses in it poor horses were so tired and overheated by the end.
On Friday we helped the investigators of Elder Vasher and Elder Medrano, make a washing font in their house so they could wash their clothes. Which was cool, I learned how to make cement. And then afterwards we went downtown to see our friend Pancho (its short for francisco) he played for the town in his high school, orchestra thing, and they sounded great actually they were the best there. But it was cool to support the members.Speaking of musical talent, this Sunday was our primary program yea you know it you just got to love the kids in the primary. But the cool part is that I had my the children of my investigators sing also in the primary. So that was way cool of them, it is funny since they are being the examples to their parents.But it was a great week here in Apatzingan and I hope for you all also.
Love ya elder heffron

So this week was a great week, for great news there weren’t changes in my house. Which is great since we really think that elder vasher was about to leave and I wont lie I am glad that we are all still here together like a happy family. Speaking of happy families so my investigators kids went to church again, without her, and they are going to act in the primary activity, and since they aren’t members and their mom didn’t come to church again the primary president talked to me about what they need to wear and all that, its sort of funny since I basically am like a parent to them which is just weird, lol.
So the coolest thing this week is that we found a blue bell store here. Just to tell you I never saw this ice cream in the state of Utah and I found it here in Apatzingan which is funny since this is the smallest city I have been in, in my entire mission. But just to tell you the mint chocolate chip ice cream was amazing. Lol. So we helped out some members go through wood, yeah they had a huge pile of wood that they received so we helped them go through it to find the good wood. And while doing this I saw a frog, but I swear since it didn’t move I thought it was fake, until Eloisa(the member)picked it up and through it at us. Which made her sister freak out. It was cool I got picture of it also. Lol.But I wont lie that is pretty much my weekI know sort of boring this week
Love ya

This week was awesome, I mean I have now got used to the temperature. And all at the beginning of the week, that now it has started to rain here and now I am freezing. Lol. But really it has been really nice here, this is the smallest city I have been in during the mission, so it is really cool, like all the people know who we are so it is really cool, also I mean Elder Vasher has been here for over six months and the kid is huge, he is like a giant lol. So it helps that everyone knows who we are so people already know why we are here.

Well speaking of Elder Vasher last week we went to go and play bball, and man I have found out the hard way that I am out of shape I need to get in better shape, then again I did okay I did score when I was on his team but when I was against him man it was bad. Lol. But I think I will do better if we stay together here in apatzingan, since we will probably play more times, so I will get in better shape and can make more shots, I haven’t played since I was in the mtc, I mean I have played members that really don’t know that much, but against people good haven’t done that in a while lol.So last night we had a family night with some members. And it was going to be a lot more fun, but then it started to rain so we couldn’t really play too much for the game. But it was still okay. I mean we spent a lot of time just chatting and one just had a cute little baby boy, which he is like the coolest he is only four months but he is way cool.

But that was pretty much my whole week I hope everyone had a great week.

Love ya all

So hello, this week was awesomely fast. Lets see I got the phone call last Monday telling me that I got transferred to Apatzingan, Michoacan. Which was coo since they tole me that I didn’t have to go to the offices till five oclock. So that was cool since I was able to go and do everything before and say goodbye. So I went and said goodbye and went and ate with the family of ana one more time. Then I left and went to the offices and I was there until like ten oclock and my cell phone never arrived. Oh yeah that is why I was there. So they put me on a bus to Zamora. And told me I would receive my phone on Tuesday, just to tell you still don’t have it lol, no joke. So I crashed at my old house in Zamora which was cool, and then we went to Uruapan and then from there we took another bus to Apatzingan, yea in total it was like seven hours in a bus. Not fun. But owell. It was cool okay just to tell you my comp is elder coyotecatl, and I live in a house with elder vasher and elder madreno, which is cool, and right when I got there vasher told me not to unpack since we will be changing houses, so just to tell you my clothes were in my suitcase till Friday, yeah sorry mom. But don’t worry now they are hung up. But our house is really pimping, I wont lie we have an air conditioner. Well we need it since this area is the hottest in the mission it is just like Utah. But without thwe breeze. But our house has a real dinning room table, that fits eight people and we have a nice dish cabinet. Yea we don’t want to break that. But I swear I feel like mr deeds. Since we put a table tennis net on the dinning room table so we can play ping pong yea it was awesome. Oh yea and just to tell you we have a closet room, yes we have an extra room that we just use as our closet. That is pretty sweet. Lol. Oh yeah me and my comp sleep in bunk beds. You know why not. Lol.

Okay so since this weekend was general conference we actually spent our whole time in Uruapan, which Hamblin lives there so that was sweet hanging with him the entire time. But back to the conference I learned so much from it it was so cool. I hope you all learned a lot also.Oh yeah and just to tell you all my little sister had her birthday this week on Tuesday, she is now eighteen, I know how scary is that. Lol. And I completed sixteen months on Sunday how cool is that.

Okay love you all

So this week I wont lie has gone by so fast, it is so funny how the mission is sometimes. I mean for my comp, elder cardenas, the week went by slow but for me it went by way fast. We were talking about this and he said once you know the area it goes by so much faster. Which is funny since today I have changes and all I am now going back to Michoacán, again but this time Apatianzgan. Which is funny because it is the hottest part in the mission, okay yea I cant see the funny thing about that either except that I want to lose weight so I will be losing a lot by sweating lol. But really it is okay I made some great friends that I will always remember here and I have had some great experiences. I read a paper from Elder Holland yesterday about how we as missionaries, need to make our areas better when we leave then when we come into them. And I can see that this ward has improved a lot, I know that it isn’t about me, I know I am just the tool that is in the hand of God, but it is so cool that I was able to be here to see the changes. I mean this ward has improved a lot since when I got here, they have given more callings to members we have been baptizing more here then before, speaking of which Karina who we baptized two weeks ago, yesterday was announced to be the Second Counselor in the Young Women, so that is way tight. I know she will do great, we were talking to her about going on a mission, since she really wants to go. We will see what happens in three years. But it will be way killer if she goes on a mission
Oh yea we had a zone conference this past week, to get to know are new mission president and all. And he is way cool. And I know he will help us get to the next level so we are going to do more miracles here. I hope so anyway. Lol.
Okay love you guys

So this week was a great week for us, since this week was the baptism of Karina, the daughter of Ana. See we have been always teaching Ana, since she was inactive for awhile, and her daughter Karina was always going to church with Sis. Ana. So on Thursday we asked her if she would like to be baptized and she told us yes and told us that that morning she was just about to ask her mom, but she forgot so it was very special. I mean the family of Sis Ana is so nice and cool to us I mean we go over there a lot since the Sis Carmen, mother to Ana is a great cook, yea so we stop by you know once or twice a week to talk and teach them and then we are invited to eat some very delicious food. So you know no complaints from me. Lol. But it is so funny, how baptisms just don’t work out that good until the end, since this time my zone leader got sick so he couldn’t you know leave the bathroom so we had to do last minute changes to be able to do the interview and then to get ready for the baptism. But no worries it all worked out very smoothly and she was very excited to be able to be baptized. Which is just so cool, I know she will do great. And on Sunday she was confirmed a member to the church and was given the Holy Ghost, and the Sis. Ana was called as the Relief Society Secretary, so I know she will always be there to help her daughter since Karina is also in Relief Society now.Okay so on Tuesday last week Sis. Ana and Carmen got us Krispy Kreme doughnuts ya ya, man they were good. Lol. Also they gave us some nice ties. Man they are nice.But this was a great week and just to top it off I made me and my comp French toast, okay it wasn’t as good as my moms but hey I tried. Lol.
Okay love ya
