Merry Christmas to all, hope everyone had a great Christmas this past week, I know I did, I mean first here in Mexico, they celebrate more Christmas eve, a little bit more than Christmas, so Christmas eve the dinner is big and everyone wants to invite us to eat so yea we ate four times on the 24th haha, but o well, I did throw up afterwards haha, but the food was still great. Lol. So o yea, on the 23rd we had a Christmas conference all the way in Morelia, so we left from our house at six in the morning and we didn’t get back till after ten, so yeah total the day out of my area, lol, and when we got home we still did the baptismal interviews for Cristobal and Yesenia, but they didn’t get baptized this week, since he is a taxi driver he had to go and take someone to Guadalajara, yea that is a journey to do so he did not make it in time. So we are shooting to do it this week, with another teenager Servando. So yeah the conference was great we did a gift change and we sang Christmas carols and all. Oh yeah also we went to an American buffet so yeah you know we all ate a ton, I ate four plates of food with desert, oh yeah I even had some turkey and real stake, I haven’t had that forever. Haha. So Christmas was sweet I mean you know with the phone call and all chit chating with the good old fam is always grat I cant believe that this is my third phone call just one more. But it was great to talk with all of you love all of you. Have a happy new year.

Love elder heffron

Merry Christmas everyone, hope everyone will have a great Christmas, I know I will. Today there were changes in the mission, but me and my companion have a lot of luck, we are staying together for another change, that will make it three changes. So that is pretty cool, I have never had the same companion for more than two changes. So this is going to be good, we have a lot of people that are preparing to be baptized so it will be great to see them all enter the waters of baptism. Sorry I don’t have a lot of time since today isn’t our p day, just on here to write ya and tell ya about Christmas and the phone calls.

Hello, this week was a great week. Lets see this past Thursday we had a conference all the way in Zamora, which just to tell you is five hours on bus, and since the conference was at eight, we left here in apatzingan for Uruapan Wednesday at night, and stayed there and left from there five oclock in the morning to get to the conference on time. But the conference was with President de Hoyos and I wont lie this conference was so cool. We talked about a lot of sweet things and I learned so many things. But above that is the spirit was so cool there. It was a good conference totally worth the ten hours of traveling to get there. Lol. Also yesterday was the first stake conference in the stake of Uruapan. And that was cool to go to and we went with the members so it was cool, definitely was a lot easier to waste the two hour drive. Lol. I learned a lot from that conference also. But that is about it for me, this past week it was still a killer time in conferences and all but I learned a lot so that is great for me lol.
Love ya heffron

so this week was a great week, this week we had the luck to go to Uruapan twice lol. Yep we took four buses this week. Yep you know it eight hours traveling, we wasted like one whole day of working in buses. But it is because we had district meeting on Tuesday and then afterwards elder ashton came home with us and worked a half day with us, and then we got up at like six thirty and all and jumped on a bus since on Wednesday we had interviews with the president and that was great and then we went back home and so both days on Tuesday and Wednesday I wasn’t in my area until like five oclock, and so with lunch and all didn’t go to work till like six, yep had lunch at five lol. But the rest of the week was great we had some great lessons and found some sweet people like on Friday when we were walking to a lesson a little girl came by and started talking to us about how her sisters are members less actives of course. But she is like I want to get baptized also. I know you got to love the people with the faith and the work we can see the miracles, the same ones that passed by for paul and aaron and everyone from the bible to the book of mormon. So we are keeping up the faith here, so lets see the neighbors are keeping up the parties, lol. Nah this Friday at night they had a band playing out side their house how lucky it was also outside my house oh yeah and it was at four in the morning till eight so yea we did not sleep that well Friday. Lol. Sunday we had the ward conference and it was cool the whole work is getting ready to help us with the work so we are going to kick some butt here. I hope so. So have a great week love ya all.

Peace e. heffron

So this week just want to tell you all happy thanksgiving. This thanksgiving me and my companion went to the blue bell ice cream store and we ate some ice cream to enjoy thanksgiving. I am really thankful for all of you. I am very grateful for knowing all of you, you have all helped me so much in my path. Also this week my father Elder Harrington should be enjoying some rest, since he has now finished his mission. How fast time has flown I was with him when he only had nine months. I learned a lot from him. So best of luck Harrington.Sorry not really that interesting of a week, but we are planning on having a baptism this coming up Saturday. So next week will be way more cool, baptisms really make the time go by so much better.
Okay love yae.

sorry these are the photos of last week

the first one is the morning of when elder medrano and elder vasher left

the second is, us after the dinner we won with Estela and Blanca also in the photo is Estela´s daughter Soledad and her son

So this week was a great week. First off we had divisions with our zone leaders. Which means I was in Uruapan for two days. Yea just to tell you the temperature difference was huge, I was wearing a sweater the entire time I was there. Lol. I have no idea how I will survive next winter in Utah. Lol. I mean there wasn’t even frost in Uruapan lol. But owell. So while I was there I had a killer time with Elder Ashton, I even let him shave my head so yeah now I am more bald then I was before. Lol. But I like it, I now can just role right out of bed with no worries. Lol. I will not have bed hair for a long time.

So this week we were going to have a baptism of Estela, but she got sick and was hospitalized, yeah that hasn’t happened before so I ask if everyone can put her in your prayers I am pretty sure she will be baptized this week. Or exactly when she is better, she is such a trooper and she has so much faith that it is amazing. This week we also received a really cool reference from one of my favorite families here in my area from the sister Blanca, and this kid is so cool his name is Servando and he is really cool, he actually went to the baptism, which unfortunately didn’t happen but instead he went to mutual, so that is sweet, he has actually gone to seminary once now too. Sweet. He is really awesome.

So that is my week I hope you had a great week also love ya

hello everyone out there.
this week was a great week. so on the sad news that i wrote last week we had changes. and me and my comp elder coyotecatl are still together which is cool the trip is that we are all alone her in apatzingan and we have no idea when the president will put more here. but for right now it is only two of us. which is cool since i now have alot of investigators lol.. okay so this week really we spent our time trying to get to know all of our investigators. lol. on thursday here we alaways do divisions with the elders quorum and this weeek my companion was horacio, and also erick, who is my investiagator. yea how cool my investigator went on divisions with me to help talk to the less actives here in this ward. so i am pretty sure taht he will be baptized soon, i hope so.
on friday here we play volleyball as a ward where we invite our investigators to play with us. so we invited estela but she couldnt come but her daughter blanca came with us and we actually bet dinner for saturday and o yeah i won and so on saturday night we went there and had dinner it was sweet. i love the taste of victory lol.
okay and nothing else really cool happened this past week but today we actaully went to the hill here me and my comp and pancho, we left like around eight oclock and we were done by eleven. it was good. and today we ate with estela and we went over the baptismal questions for her interview tomorrow. which i know she is ready so that is going to be cool to see her go into the water of baptism.i am sorry i dont really have to much time to write. but love all of you guys.
