Back Track - From Journal

Aug 1, 2012

Well it has been a month since we have been here in Monterrey Mexico.  It is really a beautiful city set in the middle of majestic mountains.   We live in a nice area with easy shopping within walking distance.   Costco has become my fast friend as I fix meals at times for missionaries.

We have about 190 missionaries.  We will be having about 25 leaving the middle of August and I have come to know them and love them already and will miss them.  These missionaries work very hard in a very hot climate.  As we have been at the zone conferences we have learned from the zone leaders.  The sweet elders amd sisters that are leaving in the next few months have share testimonies and experiences even when I can't understand all of the words the spirit is is strong.    Today in the San Nicolas zone President Swapp asked who were converts and half of them raised their hands.  It is amazing, the strength and faith they all have.  both  Elder Gonzalez and Elder Enriquez, the zone leaders are so strong in e gospel..Elder Enriquez said,  as long as I live I will never have an experience more precious or purposeful than these last two years.  With tears falling gently from his eyes.  My heart could not be more full of love for these young people.
