Sorry that I haven’t really written in a long time--but now I’m repenting and giving an update ha ha. I have no time so just an update…
• I’m staying on my mission and I got things all worked out.
• I still have not gotten sick and have mastered (almost) my gag reflex
• I can speak almost 20 words of nawhat (I don’t know how to say it) it’s another language here in Ajalpan.
• We have four baptismal dates and we think another, but we’ll know this Sunday for sure about that. The sad thing is that I might not be here for it because we have changes before that.
• This next week Elder Bendar is coming to our area to give a talk and I’m stoked about that.
• I have a sweet tan.
• I love being a seminary teacher
Alright, this is all I’ve got for now, but next week I will have a big letter to entertain the hordes of people that read my updates ha ha
Small testimony
I know that no matter what problems we have, if we give them to the Lord we will have peace and there is not much more we can ask for. When much is given much is expected. I know that I can live with my family forever if I can control my carnal side… “the only control is self control”… I can’t remember who said that was but it was in this last conference and it was cool. I will become who I can become, I will reach my potential at all costs.
Look up Ether 12:27 what it’s all about
Elder Cranford
ether twelve:four wherefore, whoso believeth in God, might with surety, hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God.

the fellowship of the unashamed
I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The dye has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The Decision has been made. I AM A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST.
I won't look back, let up, slow down, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need pre-eminence, positions, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by Faith, lean on HIS presence, walk with patience. I am uplifted by prayer, and labor with power. My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven. My road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, divided, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, shut up, or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, and paid up for the cause of Christ. I must go 'till he comes, give 'till I drop, preach 'till all know, and work 'till he stops me. And when He returns for His Own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My Banner will be clear.
