Elder Jordan Keele-July 19, 2011

Hola hola hola,

Well this week has been pretty good. Jesús went out of town to Pachuca this past week and got back on Friday night. We didn't have a chance to talk with him, but he did come to church yesterday again! It was a blessing. He had to leave on an urgent call after sacrament meeting, but we're planning to visit him throughout the week.

Also, we found a woman that said she was interested in hearing our message. We went with her to her home and met her husband. He told us that he's a member. He went to Tennessee about 5 years ago and was baptized up there. But when he came back here he stopped going because he didn't know the church existed here in Molango. We invited all of them, but only Lucio (the husband) came. It was raining pretty hard yesterday morning, and as a result we had the lowest number of assistance at church (17). Rain is no excuse to not obey Gods commandments! But, that's what happened.

It hasn't been raining all day every day like it did a couple weeks ago, but it usually rains everyday for at least a few hours. Just off and on all the time.

I'm so anxious for Derek to get his call! He should work extra hard to get his papers turned in as soon as possible. I can't wait to find out where his life-changing experience will be taking him.

Thanks for letting me know about Steph's improvements. It was perfect timing when you told me, because it was right before I went to the temple that week, so I was able to put her name there too. What a blessing it is to have "easy access" to the power of the Almighty God.


Tell all the girls of the house how proud I am of them! They're making efforts to be better, and that's all anyone could hope for.

Pachuca is about a 4 hour bus ride from Molango. It's the closest city to where we're at. Our area covers about 1/3 of the entire mission, although we mostly just stay here in this little pueblo. The closest missionaries to us are there in Pachuca, and the last time I saw another Elder was about 5 weeks ago. We're kind of alone up here ha ha. I think we have interviews with President Hicken this week, so we'll probably make the long trip to Pachuca and see some fellow missionaries there. But our mission, now that it split, consists of Tulancingo, Tecamac, Pachuca, Ecatepec, and a couple stakes in the DF. I know Pachuca a little bit, but I may get the chance to serve there later on.

Thanks for all you all do, ¡Les amo bastante!
