Elder VanBuskirk: I Love Seeing Miracles Here in Tapana

Elder Hernandez. I was in divisions with him.

Well on Tuesday I stayed here with Elder Hernandez, an elder from my district, y my companion went to Zapata with Elder Vera. It was great. I really learned a lot from Elder Hernandez y he really is happy I’m his district leader. We saw a huge snake on the street y Elder Hernandez almost stepped on it.

Yes, it is a snake, but it didn’t have a rattle

Well on Tuesday from 8 in the morning until 7 at night, the Relief Society was making mango applesauce y candy of mango. Well we got there at 7 y helped them stir the big pots to cool it down y then we took a lot home. It is so good.

Mango applesauce y mango candy. It was an acitvity of the rama because the mango season finished. It was a way to celebrate.

Well we taught Maria about the Plan of Happiness y the gospel of Chirst y she is so good she read the pamplets y prays. We are so happy for her progress. Guess what she went to church on Sunday, so now she just needs to go to church 4 more times y can get baptized on 17 of July.

Well we taught investigator Raul y his less active wife, y taught lesson 1. The problem with them they have problems as couple so we are trying to help them out. Well we as well the Relief Society of our branch, visited brother Abraham because he is the only member, so they taught his wife about family y then later on we taught about the day of rest, y guess what? She was there yesterday at church. I love seeing the miracles here in Tapana y the mission.

Well some sad news, Elder Canales is leaving to Tapachula tomorrow, his second area in the mission. My new comp will finish in this tranfer y his name is Elder Thomson from Utah. But I’m still leader of district y older companion. Because he will be finishing his mission this transfer, he will work really hard, so we can see a lot of good things here in Tapana.

Well on Saturday we went to the temple y our branch president went in for his first time y afterwards y says he feels like a new person. We are so happy for him. It will help the branch grow a lot. Well love you all thanks for all the love y prayers.

Love Alex or Elder VanBuskirk. ADIOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
