Can you find the 10 things that are different between these pictures?

Description on the photos. 

The baptism was an investigator that I was teaching in one of my old area, and asked me to baptize him!!! That was a really cool experience. 

The Mountain pictures was where we went to eat the other day with the members. It was very pretty, and we are planning on going back in a few weeks to hike it more!°!! 

Life is good here in the mission, My comp is getting ready to leave in three weeks, and is very excited!!! The work is going, and all is well!!!

Hey Everyone!!!

So all is good, I am alive, and breathing!!! 

So Not a lot has been happening in the mission. As of almost two weeks ago I got moved out here to Texcoco 2 again, and I am just loving it!!! 

Life is great, and it is so nice to be here and actually be able to talk and communicate with everyone!!! I am with Elder Muir, He is from Heber, Utah, and will be finishing his mission in 7 weeks. (He hasn't gone a day without reminding me!!!) He is a great Elder. We met in the mission almost a year ago when I was in Campestre. He was one of the other two elders there, and we were in the area together for 3 months!!! 

So this last week was pretty great!! The work out here in Texcoco is just a little different from in the rest of the mission. Out here we have an area that is bigger that 85% of the mission combined!!! So we spend lots of time (and money) on buses, and Combi's. So for that we don't have much time to work. But regardless of that we are having lots uf fun and lots of success. 

At the moment we are teaching 9 people, and have plans this next week to find another family of like 5 people. (Fingers Crossed!!!) 

So today we went to central. We changed out P-day so that we could go to the anthropology museum. Here in mexico everything government is closed on Monday so we are never able to go and see them!!! 

So today we went there, and then went and ate and Olive Garden. It was really good. But when we asked for the tab the waiter came over and told us that a lady a few tables over wanted to cover our tab. There were four of us, and we were so grateful, That is something that you just don't get being outside of Utah as a missionary.  We then went and talked to here. She is not a member of the church, but knows who we are, and said that she is on her path. It was a really cool experience!!! 

So that is all for today!!! Love you all, and have a great week!!!

Hey all, 

Sorry for not writing very much recently. All has been well, we have been busy, and I am learning a lot!!!

So in the last few weeks, I have had changes (transfers), and am now in a new area. I have a new companion, and am just going with life. 

So last week was a pretty event filled week!!! We had a less active member get the Priesthood, we married a couple, and then his wife got baptized on Saturday!!! It was a wonderful baptism. They are a family of three. With a small daughter that is almost 2. At the baptism I sang with a young 9 year old girl that lives in our building!!! We sang "If the Savior Stood Beside Me" It was really good!!! I will try to get a recording of it to send next week!!! 

We also have several other people that we are planning on baptizing in the next several weeks!!! 

Today we had the opportunity to go to the temple. It was really really great!!! I had the opportunity to do sealings. When we got there I went with another elder from my district, because he wasn't feeling well, and didn't want to sit through a session. So we went in, and while we were sitting in the sealing room waiting for more people to show up so we could start we had about 30 minutes just sitting there talking to the sealer. It was so great!!! He is a convert to the church. He got baptized at 13, and has been a member for 72 years. He was so awesome!!! At the moment he is a Patriarch, and a Temple Sealer. 

So other than that all is normal!!! I am happy, and just going on with life!!! 

Love you all!!!

Hey all!!!

Sorry, I know it has been several weeks, but honestly I have just not had ganas (the desire) to write a big letter. 

So in the last three weeks there have been several different things that happened. 

So two weeks ago, we had the chance to go to the temple and doa session. It was absolutely wonderful!! It had been almost 6 months since I had entered the temple!!! This was not any normal temple visit though. My companion received special permission from Pres to go, because his mom came into town with her ward to go!!! So my comp spent the whole day with his mom, and we went to the temple!!!

So this last week, I had a great opportunity to use my talents to help a sister in the ward. So this sister is a widow of three or so years, and had about a hundred plants just sitting all over her yard in flower pots that were gifted to her over they years from her husband. I asked her if she would trust me enough to design her a garden. She said yes, and we went over the next day, and I spent 6 hours on it!!! (with 45 minutes for breakfast, and for lunch!!!) She was at work the whole time, and had no idea what was going to happen. So after we finished we left, and then get a text that night. It was just thanking us. Then I was talking to her yesterday, and she confessed that she was super super worried that I was going to destroy her plants!!! But it was really just a wonderful thing to be able to get dirty again, and do what I love!!!!

So other than that there is not much of anything that we have done!!! We are going to have a baptism next week, which will be the first in over 6 months for me!!! It is going to be really nice!! She has asked me to confirm her. She will be the first confirmation that I have done, not that it is too difficult. I speak Spanish, so it should be pretty easy!!! 

So that is all that I have for now. 

Hasta la Proxima!!! 

Love you all,

Elder Mason Millar

Before and after!!!
