Hey sounds like everyone is good besides the kids because they have to go to school and dad as well because now he has to go to work and mom is fine because she doesnt do anything anyways. haha jk i am grateful for all your help mother. i couldnt do anything without you. haha i just sent the emails this week to my coaches so we will see if they respond. but it would be good mom if you can email president to tell him all the info. i dont want to email him about that. you can do that for me. thanks. but this week we had changes and i am now in Chilpancingo, Guerrero. My area name is Herioco it means heroic. pres only sends the true heroes to this area. haha My new companion is Elder Woolsey he is from south jorden Utah. he is a cool guy. he has a year and a half. we are ready to go to work. we are the zone leaders in the biggest zone in the mission. we have 3 districts in this zone. there are 26 missionaries that are in our zone. so we have to set the standard. this is the zone that usually baptizes the most but it hasnt baptized that much these past few months so we are going to work! i am pumped to go to work. as zone leader we get to work with the stake leaders and all that stuff so that will be fun. that also means we get blamed for everything so it will help me get prepared to enter the air force again. haha but im pumped. it seems like a way cool area. the last elder that was here just finished his mission. so we got to rivive the area a little bit but we are pumped to go to work. this past week i had 3 baptisms in puente. it was a really good week. we went with Maribel and her family and we found out her daughter just turned 8 and we baptized the daughter Itzel and her son Kevin. The grandma Socorro was going to get baptized but she got really sick and had a bloody nose and couldnt get in water. but she will get baptized this week. her other son will get baptized next week as weel. they are a awesome family. Maribel said the closeing prayer at the baptism and thanked god that her kids got baptized in the true church. it was pretty sweet. also her little daughter after her baptism told us smileing i feel god and jesus. it was a cool baptism. we also baptized the grandkid of Soledad. we were going to baptize her daughter but she had problems and couldnt get in water either. but she will get baptized next week. so puente is booming. haha i loved puente. i learned alot and met alot of really cool people. it has been fun to see the changes in the ward. Elder Cornejo is going to train so he will do really good. i am pumped for him. he will keep the success rolling in puente. basicly half my district from the mtc is in my zone here so that will be fun. i am pumped to go to work and try to help out all the missionaries here. it should be fun. so thats nuts that tate is in 8th grade and teisha is a junior. that is crazy. i remember both those years. tell em i love em and to keep their noses clean. haha i know that they will do great. teisha in her tennis and tate in football. i mean i taught them everything so there is only room for success. haha jk but i love you all lots and keep up the good work.
Elder Hancock
