So life out here in Tizimin is pretty awesome. It's a pretty big small town and the people here are great. There is a definite Mayan influence here but I like it. Life is going real well.
We have found a load of people that are wanting to listen to the message of hope that we have. We definitely have found a lot of miracles here in Tizimin and now the work is accelerating and I'm just doing my best to keep my foot on the gas.
Our mission president started a new challenge this last week where the companionship who finds the most people to teach gets a smart phone for the week. It's his fun way of introducing the smart phones into the mission. Kinda crazy how fast times are changing and how the work of God is progressing these days, especially through the use of technology. But yeah, over all, I'm doing well. I'm happy and healthy.

Dear mum,
Thanks for sharing those scriptures. Kinda funny how things coincide because it just so happens that yesterday in a lesson an investigator asked us what we think about the perfection. Like, is it actually possible to be a perfect person. This led into a great discussion of the atonement of Jesus Christ and repentance. I really like how our whole purpose here as missionaries is to preach repentance to all and oh how important that message is. The fact that we have the opportunity to repent is the most beautiful thing in the world. It is only by and through the atonement of Christ that we can one day, truly become perfected in him and deny ourselves of all unrighteousness. There are few accounts in the scriptures that mention men being perfect, Noah, Seth, Job, and most importantly Christ himself. We can all strive day by day to be better and that is what is truly important; the daily repentance and changes that we make in our lives to one day, whether it be far or near, be able to happily return to God and Be perfect like He is.
Love you all lots and hope that you have the best week ever,
yo son Seth
