Dear Fam,
Guess what Nacho got baptized por fin! He quit
smoking for the whole week and was able to get dunked yesterday.... ah man we
were so dang happy for that man! Also his niece got baptized because she just
turned eight and has been going to church...but we didn't work with her because
her family is menos activias so she was interviewed by Bishop and her cousin Set
taught her the lessons. So yes, Nacho Libre got baptized and it was just
a good day and he was so so so happy. We can really tell the difference in his
and Almas lives now that they keep the commandments because they are just so
much happier. So yay, next year on the 26th of July of 2016, I will send you a
pic of me, Nacho y Alma at the temple when they get sealed!!!!!!!!!!!!

| Us with Andrea (Nacho's niece) |
The rest of the week was good too. We went to
the CV with R, Hna. Guadalupe or as we call her granmda guada and our
mission leader Ricardo. The pic I sent you from the cv with R (not mission leader) who sometimes is scary looking and ALWAYS wear his hat
and shades but every once in a while he takes of his shades to put on his
glasses to read but yeah that's R. His baptism was suppose to be yesterday but he was like, "Hna´s no I am not getting baptized, I think people
in the church sell drugs and are in the mafia." His
prayers are so so so good though and he does his homework and always reads in
the book of Mormon so yeah we will see what is up with this man....oh also he
doesn't want anyone at his baptism because he is afraid his neighbors will show
up because he thinks they want to kill him....so its a bit difficult! hahah we
will see.

| Honey |
Also this week we stared teaching a lady named
Maricela and she is so so so so good. She just moved here to take care of her
uncle because her Grandma came to her in a dream to do so....and guess what her Grandma was Mormon! She was talking to us how she doesn't know why she is here
because she liked her town better than the city....anyways it was perfect and
we were talking to her about how everything has a purpose in life and yeah she
is awesome. She also gave us a ton of honey that she brought from her town
because a guy makes it there and it is really good....so she gave us some...but
it is in massive liquor bottles hahah so we were walking down the street with
massive liquor bottles full of honey!
Also Angela went to EFY and loved it!!! But she still
doesn't want to get baptized because it is hard for her because nobody in her
family supports it and they all don't really like the church....minus Valentin
her uncle that is a member! So we are gonna keep on working with her
family...and one of her aunts actually just started listening to the lessons
with her family so hopefully that will be good for her!

| Making cookies with Alisson and Frida |
Today we went to the market that has like
authentic Mexican stuff to buy such as Mexican dresses and I got a yellow one! Mom the
market is something you would love.... so when we come back we can go there and
you can buy all the nativities and Mexican tile you want! It was pretty cool
but sorry I didn't really take pictures of it, nor my dress but hna. Rrhoten and I will take some and I will send them next week! Also today we made cookies
with Alisson and her cousin Frida...chocolate chip....but we had some
complications with the oven and the altitude so they weren't the prettiest and
were burnt on the bottom but they were still good! I think both of those girls
will serve missions they were asking a ton of questions about it and they would
be awesome! But yeah life her in Mexico is good and the work is progressing and
we still don't know a ton about the open house but ya know its in two weeks so I will find out some time between now and then. Also we are trying to convince
president to let Hna. Rhoten stay in a trio with me and my hija for two weeks
because she is only extending two weeks and we have three beds.... so we will
see! I am sure I will have a ton to write about next week. P-day is not till
Wednesday so yeah I wont be writing till then. But I love you all so much and I
hope you are all safe and having a fun summer.
FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS A MI SOBRINO SETH! LO QUIERO
MUCHÍSIMO! Also I can't believe Katie is having a baby soon, haha we are both
pregnant! but I am due next Monday.... and yeah i don't know how to spell
prego... but mom if you haven't sent that package yet perfecto because you
should print out more pictures of our family and put them in it. Like a picture
from my baptism, a pic from dance, cheer pic with Kuresa, pictures of the lake
or our family hiking, more pictures of the family from when I was little till now. a picture of the Gilbert temple, picture from the Gilbert temple
celebration, skydiving pic, us maybe at conference or something, the day I took
out my endowments, pictures from when I got set apart as a missionary and yeah
just more more more pictures to put in my family history pamphlet because its
really expensive and complicated to do it here! But if you could do that I
would love you even more...if that is possible I already love you a lot but yes
love you madre and family...Aaron thank you for the advice and Seth I loved your
letter.....also LUKE can you pretty please send me the poem you read at your
homecoming talk? Well I better go but I love you all!
con amor, Hermanita Heywood
