Hola familia y amigos!
Well this week has been interesting. For one I have been getting sick from the food or something. I think my lunch cook isn’t cooking with purified water or something, but my stomach just doesn’t want to take anything, so we´ll see what happens this week. So on Tuesday Elder Elison came to divisions in my area and it was awesome to be with him again, even if it was for a day haha! We went to some citas we had that day, he met Elvin and some other investigators we have. The craziest thing happened that night though. We had an appointment and in the middle of the appointment it started pouring, so we couldn’t finish the lesson and we left. The next cita was on the opposite side of the area and we got soaked. I have never been so wet in my life! We were so soaked! We got there but the rain was so loud we left the cita to come back another day. We get home early cause there was nothing else we could do and we were soaked head to toe. It was awesome, just like my first day in the mission when we got wet haha!
The only problem that I have right now is how hot it is here, it is terrible! In the night it will rain and during the day it will get super hot. Sometimes after five it gets better, but not all the time. We have been finding a lot lately, many inactives from here or different areas. We actually found one guy that is a convert from somewhere in our zone when he lived in another area. It’s been crazy how many people we have found. Well this week we stopped by with Elvin one day planned on teaching him the law of chastity and word of wisdom. We get in the house and he says how bad he has felt with himself and his family, especially one of his nephews. He said how bad it has been in the house with him yelling at his nephew and that he hasn’t felt well at all. So we just decided to read different scriptures from the Book of Mormon, and one that really impacted him was Moroni 7:45. I could tell it impacted him in how he read it. Well we put a cita to go back and asked him if he wanted us to pick him up for church but he said that he could make it on his own. Sunday comes and we were really worried none of our investigators were going to show up and he walks in the door! We were so happy! We had to teach Gospel Principles because the teacher doesn’t want to come to church anymore, so we taught about the scriptures. The next class, which is priesthood, always has a tendency to go off topic, was about seeing the good in everything, and at the end he came up to me and said he was really grateful that he went. He felt like he had changed and he is getting baptized this week! We are super excited and he feels like he is in the true church. The last time we checked he was in 2 Nephi 4, and still reading! We also have been teaching Darwin, someone we contacted at the beginning of the change who had been to church before we found him, and he is so cool! He still wants to wait about baptism, but every morning he says he reads the BoM, even if it’s only one verse. He said that he never wanted to read the Bible, but now he says he can’t put down the BoM, so hopefully we can get him baptized too!
Today we hiked up a mountain to see the famous Coca Cola sign here in SPS. It’s a giant sign you can see from the entire valley, about half way up a mountain. I was so exhausted when we got there. It was all paved, but super steep and it took forever, after turning one corner you'd find the street still going, but it was really cool to see all of SPS from up there.

I’m glad to hear abuela is fine, it just makes me sad to see how fragile she looks! Send my love to her for me! I hope everything keeps going well and that Higley wins this year!
Con amor,
Elder Neher
