Hola Fam and Friends!!

So this week was a pretty normal week!! Not to much happened! We struggled with getting people to go to church but we did at least get 1! His name is Jesus! He is a really good kid and has gone to church many times! He likes it a lot but just doesnt feel ready yet! Hopefully with time and prayers we will get to see him baptized but as i say mucho everything happens for a reason and we just have to accept gods will and keep on trying!!

It has officially rained for 2 weeks straight now and it is freaking awesome!! Oh and not only that but there was like a huge lighting and thunder storm here a couple days ago and it was the craziest awesomest thing ever! The power went out, the thunder was super loud and terrifying but in the end we survived and it was just amazing!!

The cali trip sounds like it was super fun but dad it looks like you have balded up a little bit more since i left hahah jk!! But yeah when you guys buy the new car you better send me pics and then not let koby drive it hahah!!

Anyways to answer some of your questions... as far as service goes they had prohibited it for like 10 minutes in a Zone meeting but later they realized it was tonto and now we can do service again haha!! We actually pretty much eat the same stuff here that we did in Juarez! Tortillas,tortillas and more tortillas hahah oh and beans, dont forget the beans hahah!! Anyways its super crazy for me to think that you guys are about to go back to school and that next week i will have 1 year in the mish!! Which yes if you were wondering i will be burning a shirt and yes i will take a video and yes it will be epic haha!! Anyways thats all ive got for this week!! Im doing good and love you all!! Stay Classy and Keep it Real!!

Wazzgoood!!!

So this week was another solid week here in Casas!! We had 2 kind of 3 investigators in church yesterday and the work seems to be looking pretty good!! Jesus one of our investigators went again this week and he has now gone 3 out of the last 4 weeks!! He knows a lot about the church and says he likes it but still just doesnt feel ready! Its a little tough but we are continuing to work with him and i know that with time and effort he will be able to receive his answer and start his journey!! Also with our investigator that we found last week things are looking really good!! She went to church this week and continues to love it!! She truly is amazing and i know that she is going to do great things! We are going to work with her so she can get married and later baptized and just continue to progress in the gospel!!

It really has been awesome here in C.G.  For reals it has rained the last 13 days straight and one day last week we even got trapped in one of the house of the elders cuz it rained so hard and we couldn´t leave there house cuz a river formed in front of it!!

Also i am not gonna lie that i am super jealous that you guys are headed to cali right now and that you are buying a new car next week!! Thats so dope!! But life is great and lovin the work!! Oh and also yes i did realize that i am headed home in exactly 1 year from today!! Its freaking crazy how fast the time has gone but im excited for this next year and looking forward to all the new experiences!!

Hey guys so this week was a super cool week!! We had a couple investigators in the sacrament meeting on sunday and even better we received a golden reference from one of the members...it is this one lady that has the desire to be baptized we really just have to teach her and make sure that her and her husband get married but yeah it was super dope!! Anyways we had a zone meeting today and that is why i am writing so late but it was really good and literally it was just a great week.

We didnt have to many changes in the district but it was sad to see Fonseca go!! He was a great elder and we will miss him a ton but also not gonna lie it is freaking sick with pure americans in the ward!! Its totally crazy because before i was the only american elder in my whole zone and now we are a full blown american zone haha!!! But yeah pretty much just trying to say that its sick!! We also went to a wedding this week and it was super weird and cool!! Because well it was just different than what we normally do in the mission and it was just weird to see how weddings are because im pretty sure that i have never been to one before!! I have been to a million receptions but to a real full on wedding im pretty sure this was my first and yeah just thought id let y'all know!!

Now about the Hawaii vacation i am totally down for that!! And i am freaking pumped hahah!! But yeah so thats pretty much all i got for this week!! Im not sure when i will head back to juarez but when they tell me i will for sure tell you guys!! Anyways i love you all and hope that your lives are amazing!! Keep trying in all that you do and never give up!! Keep it Real!!

Hey guys whats going on??

So we had a pretty rough week this week as far as the work goes but the good thing is we went with an investigator and he told us that he really likes the church and we plan to set a baptismal date this week!! So we are pretty pumped!! We had transfers this week and surprisingly nothing happened!! Well one of the elders from my district left and so now we are gonna be 4 americans in our ward and yeah its gonna get crazy hahah!!

That is so sick that you guys met elder ortons parents and holy cow i cant believe that the cabin is actually sold!! Also i am super jealous that y`all played golf without me!! Our 4th of july here was pretty sweet!! I was in divisions and me and elder Herd went and visited a lady that speaks english and is american and we pretty much just chilled and sang the national anthem!! Sick stuff like that!! hahah!!

So like literally i dont have anything to say this week. i am trying to remember what happened to us this week but yeah just absolutely nothing!! Seriously its super calm here and way different than juarez!! Preston and i are still banking on us being comps next cycle...well more like we are just praying and hoping that pres will let us cuz he leaves next cycle and yeah its just crazy!! Oh actually something did happen sort of...now there are going to be 8 of us in my district instead of 4!! Now the ZL`s and other Hnas. are going to be in with us which is cool but also means i will literally have no time at night hahah but its whatevs i guess!!

Anyways sorry that the letter is super short this week but the words just arent coming hahah!! I am really liking it out here even though it is freaking hard but i know this is where i should be and i know the gospel is true!! Thank you all for your support and also remember to wish the big ELDER TAYSOM a happy 20th!! Hes a total viejo now but i still love him hhah!! Also another big shout out to my Little Bro that isnt so little Koby...hes turning the BIG 17 tomorrow!! I love you bro and you better not crash the new car if you get one hahah!!

Anyways thats all for this week!! Love yall tons and stay classy!!
Love Elder Imlay
