Temple week!

Hola Madre y familia!!!

That's sad to hear about Chance tienman and Andi but everything will be ok.

Everything here is mas o menos the same here in Mexico. People don't want to progress but love having us teach them because they feel the spirit. We found a family that we are teaching that have an eighteen year old handicapped son. We taught the Plan of Salvation to the mom and daughter and the mom was bawling alot. The spirit was so strong. But we haven't been able to pass with them again. 

My asthma and hiking up and down a mountain every day is rough and i've had a terrible time breathing and coughing for the past 5 days. But, the work goes on. 

That's fun to hear that my friends got to sing a musical number for the women's conference. We got to go to the temple today and it felt so nice to be in the Lords house again. I love going to the temple and feeling the spirit so strongly. I always put your names on the prayer role when I go so there are people praying for you in Spanish :) 

My typical Sunday is waking up at 625 like every other day, shower, shave, and then we leave at 8 to try to pick up investigators. We go around and they tell us that they're busy, their kid is sick, or just plain don't answer the door. All terrible excuses. After that we go to church, after church the food appointment, and then teach for 5 or 6 hours. Thats about it.

I gave a talk on Sunday about testimonies and how as members of the church we can always have Heavenly Father and the Holy Ghost with us to fill our mouths with words if we open our mouths and share the gospel and\or our testimony. Always be looking for opportunities to share and grow in the gospel. Afterwards several hermanas that call me elder baby because they say that I have a baby face told we that I did good. Then the bishops daughter told someone in the ward that she liked me. I don't know why they told me that, but know I have to be careful when we go to bishops house and its really weird...... So ya, that's my report for the week :) I love you all soooo much and know that we are doing great things.

Adios!
Con mucho amor,
Elder Joseph Harold Wight!!! 


::in response to my own letter to Joe::

Its fun to hear about your pregnancy stories :) 

The work down here is way different than up there. The members every now and then will give us a reference but not very often, and they wont go with us to teach lessons. This is another reason that the tribe of Ephraim that is in charge of the gathering of Israel is mainly Americans. But I persevere (probably didn't spell that right) :)

I hope and pray that Jace can get a promotion and that everything will be fine with you and little Nashy :) thanks for the weather reports tambien!
ADios!
Con Amor,
Elder Joseph Harold Wight
