Final reminder....
Holiday Packages 
Mexico Pachuca Mission
Elder/Hermana ________________
Boulevard Miguel Hidalgo 4.5 Km
Col. Villas de Pachuca
C.P. 42083
Pachuca, Hidalgo Mexico
Please send through the United States Postal Service by this week if possible.
If I may be so bold: Please consider something little for their companion in case they don't get anything from home and always list the value under $49 US dollars on the customs form. (Also please put pictures of Christ on the boxes and if it is specifically for Christmas place a holiday sticker or write as such and we will hold onto the box until our Christmas devotionals the middle of December. So less chance of peeking/opening early!)
Thank you for the love and support your show the missionaries...
We do have changes/transfers this week so more than half the mission will not be with their current companion for the Holiday...but then no transfers again until the first week in January. : )
"No missionary can determine the lasting effects of his or her labors."
-Elder Richard G Scott
NEVER TOO YOUNG
This young man is ready to be a missionary- and so every opportunity he has he tags along to get the practice in... what a remarkable example of desire.
__________________________________________
And this is how it's done...
We have some remarkably talented Hermana's in this mission who have no drama, fantastic work ethic and know why they are here!
I love their happy and positive attitudes...always feeling their love!

Hola Presidente como esta?, pues esta semana fue muy muy
muuuuy buena para nosotras, tuvimos la bendicion de ayudar a 2 personas mas a
llegar a las aguas del bautismo, no sin antes trabajar con todo nuestro
corazon,alma, mente y fuerza (DYC 4) Realmente estamos felices por tan hermosa
labor con ellas, LETICIA Y ATENEA, quien la bautizo fue su hijo Servando y el
domingo despues de la conferencia de estaca tuvimos tambien el honor de ver
como Alejandro y Servando recibian el sacerdocio de Melquisedec, algo que nunca
habia visto pero de lo que estoy muy honrada de ver :D, ¡que bendicion!....
Tambien Leticia, la mamá de Servando y Atenea, expreso sus sentimientos despues
de bautizarse y redacto sus palabras tal como las dijo "Realmente quiero
tener una familia eterna y luchare por ella", eso me lleno de gozo el
corazón por su extraordinaria fe, ademas de que dijo que quiere ser Presidenta
de la sociedad de socorro jajajajajaja.... es muy linda al decir eso despues de
24 horas de bautizada .... los amamos de verdad!!!
Esta semana nos propusimos con mi compañera trabajar mas
con los miembros y asi fue, realmente tuvimos mas lecciones edificantes y
fortalecedoras para cada unos de nuestros investigadores !!!! Nos hemos
arrepentido de no querer trabajar con ellos, en realidad, no podemos ayudar a
otros a convertirse sin que participen los miembros !!!!
Muchas gracias por todos los esfuerzos que hace por
ayudarnos en nuestras vidas, gracias por su ejemplo de humidad y gracias por
recordarme que aunque soy misionera en este momento, cuando llegue a mi casa lo
seguire siendo, y de tiempo completo, amo esta obra y espero nunca tener que
decir "Ya me he cansado de que me hablen de la obra misional" por que
ahora mas que nunca me doy cuenta de que esta obra salva vidas!!!!
Muchas gracias y que tenga una bonita semana Hna. S

hi President how are you today :D
.... i´m happy because the Hernandez Family attend the
chapel yesterday i know that the family find the answers in the stake
conference. they felt the Holy Spirit. also we have a Raymundo he will be
baptized on Saturday 22th of November.
he sells bread in the afternoon when I first started the
cycle we saw selling bread on the street. Elder M______ and I felt impressed
to speak with the baker Raymundo, but a lady I spoke to him for bread,
and my companion and I thought: I believe that he will not attend. And we said,
let's go but then again we feel the spirit we had to talk to him and so we did.
wait for Mrs. finish buying. and talked with him I agree that we were to house.
was time to go house and begin to teach. baptismal date he accepted the first
day. and he attended the chapel, now has four Sundays and this Saturday he
baptizes.
Raymundo is very good, serving in the chapel. yesterday
in the chapel helped collect the chairs at the end of services.
AND ALL FOR OUR OPEN MOUTH....................
i know this church is true is that the promises are
fulfilled if we do our part. I am very strengthened by these experiences i Love
you President.
with love: Elder C
We always have a "special district" or two.....
just kidding... I love their goofiness!
The best kind of "thank you" begins with your name...
"President, I found you a new mode of transportation and you can just throw our 'pouch' out the window as you fly over. I think you could purchase it for cheap!"

Presidente Egbert,
Hola! Estoy muy bien. Esta semana ha sido un poco difícil
en cuanto las hermanas por que realmente queremos ayudarles pero aveces no
sabes como. Gracias por su ayuda. Estuvo muy divertido los intercambios con
ellas. Espero que ellas estén bien. Me he sentido un poco mal, un tantito por
que no hemos logrado el estandarte las dos semanas pasadas. Hemos estado muy
cerca las dos veces pero yo se que lo vamos a hacer. Estoy muy feliz de poder
estar aqui y no puedo creer que ya mero es navidad! whoa! se pasa muy rapido.
Hna. ______ y yo nos llevamos tan bien y no queremos tener cambios por que
todavia hay mucho trabajo que hacer aqui. Este domingo una señora fue a la
capilla y ella tuvo que arreglar muchas cosas para que ella pudiera ir por que
tiene una tienda. y no estoy segura que le dijimos para que ella tenga el deseo
tan grande de ir a la capilla, pero se que fue el espiritu. Vamos a tratar de
implementar lo que hicimos con ella con todas las personas. también pusimos a
prueba la historia familiar con los conversos recientes y funcionó!!! pero
igual como hizo la practica ese hermano. nuestros conversos dijeron, pues si, y
queremos hacerlos lo mas pronto posible! hasta uno de nuestros conversos dijo
"cual es la dirección del templo para poder ir." haha nos dio mucha
riza pero por que el lo hizo como una pregunta tan sincera! el pudo sentir la
importancia de que sus antepasados recibieran las mismas bendiciones. otra
pareja que son conversos nuevos antes nos dijeron que no tienen suficiente
conocimiento para entrar al templo pero les explicamos sobre la historia
familiar y ellos están tan animados para ir al templo! la hermana va ir al
centro de visitantes esta semana. whooooo! esoty muy feliz presidente. gracias
por todo lo que hace por nosotras. le amo y respeto mucho =)

Service in action

Unas experiencias:
We asked one of the sisters after the food if she knew of
someone that we could visit. She told us that she didnt know why but one name
can to her head as we asked her. The next day we went to go contact this person
in his little store. As we talked with him he told us that he had talked to the
missionaries like 2 years ago and that he still had his book of mormon. He also
mentioned that he has been going through some tough stuff in his family and in
his work. He told us that everytime he started feeling down he would pick up
the book of mormon and read for a little bit. After doing so he said he would
start feeling better and then he would just like magically get more customers
in his business. He told us that he already hada testimony of the book of
mormon.
We had another cool one. In a different food appointment
of a part member family. of where the mom was a good active member but most of
her children are not members. we shared with them something and at the end we
asked the mom if she knew of any one and after wards we asked her non member
son if he knew of anyone who would like learn more and she was like
"actually yeah, me" and it was cool because the mom just leaped out
of her seat and ran over and hugged him real tight.
¡Que tenga una buena semana!

hola presidente!
i´m nearing the end of being able to write in english.
sad. where to start. well, the conference about family history was super
awesome. i´ve always loved it, since its something my grandma does every day
and she later taught me, i´ve been to the little towns my great great great
grandpa started in southern utah, and i have some pretty cool pioneer stories
from basically every branch of my ancestry. but now i´ve been able to apply
these things to my work, and its been great. we´ve already taught about it a
few times, and i´ve found its something easy, that basically everyone enjoys
talking about. one recent convert was all too excited to share with us what she
had already done.
this week really had one theme for me: Love. the lack of
it, the abundance of it, and the growing of it. my companion was frank with me
this week in companionship inventory, that i teach well and i teach with the
spirit, but i don´t teach with love. that i´m dissappointed when people don´t
complete with things, but i´m not sad. that its not important to me what people
do for a living, what they like to do in general, or much of any other detail
of their personal lives. and it was a little harsh, but she´s kinda right. i´m
content doing missionary work, i do it with all my strength, i´m obedient and i
serve others, but out of love for the Lord, not out of love for the people. and
i need both to have success, to really help and understand these people, and
also to become the person i want to be. i´m still at that point from our 2nd
interview, that i have a desire to love them but i don´t actually love them. i
lack charity. and thats the one essencial thing to really everything. the
problem is, its not a lightswitch that you can just decide to have one day and
not have the next. its something i need to develope, and its about time i
attacked that part of my great brick wall of problems, weaknesses, and excuses,
as it´ll help me with just about everything else. its easy to love people at
home. not so much here. so now the question is, how do i work on it. i´ve been
praying, and its actually a repentance process that i´m doing about it. i don´t
know how much time i will need to be where i want, its really something for my
whole life to keep improving, but best to start now. i found a scripture that
said how can you love God, who you can´t see, if you can´t even love the people
around you that you see every day. it was a little punch in the gut, cause i do
love God, but aparently with much room for improvement as well. so i have to start
somewhere, i´m starting with the person attatched to me by the hip. i need to
love my companion more. i already serve her, but we´re starting to get to know
each other a little better. yes, after a whole cycle together we´re just now
really getting to know each other, beyond the names of our siblings and our
favorite colors. we need to be more than companions, we need to be friends. and
while thats not something we can completely force, the little we can do, we´ll
do. for my investigators, i´m just gonne keep praying for more love and praying
for for them specifically and hope something happens. i think loving all of
them will especially make my mission emotionally a lot easier. yup i think
thats about it.
hasta luego!
