So, Seth figured out the photo upload thing and I have a good number to share this week.


These are all the missionaries who were starting their mission together in the Mexico MTC. This is before they boarded the plane in SLC. It appears that Seth is the only male who doesn't have a suit coat on. The letter from his mission president said they would never wear suits and not to bring any. That was one of our first clues that it will be very hot and humid where he is going.


Here is Seth with his companion, Elder Zimmerman. We understand that what he lacks in height he makes up for in energy. He said they are working to magnify their leadership assignments more, particularly with one district which has had struggles. While referencing devotional meeting with another district, Seth said, "I shared a good amount of personal experiences on how exact obedience and faith in the priesthood has brought miracles for me."



Seth didn't have time to explain every picture so I am assuming this is his district. I believe they meet in all of their classes together. Why is Seth the only one wearing a sweater?  My guess is that his shirt isn't pressed.


Speaking of meeting together for their classes, my guess is that this is the classroom where they spend many hours a day. Since there were 12 people in the district picture, I assume there are desks not included in this picture.


This looks like the cafeteria to me. He says he sits by Latinos at almost every meal so as to practice his Spanish but they run out of things to talk about.  He is better than I was. When I was in the LTM, we sat by people learning a language other than Spanish so we could speak English.


This would be where he and Elder Zimmerman sleep. I wonder who gets the high bunk.

Here is his testimony.

Yo se que si tenemos no duda, y tenemos fé in Cristo, podemos hacer todas las cosas. Mi motivación por mi misión ahora, es mostrar a las otras misioneros que Cristo no esta un mentiroso. Con fé y el voluntad de Dios, podemos hacer milagros y todas las cosas. Podemos trabajar mucho y no tener sueño. Yo se que con Dios, podemos aprender este idioma en 6 semanas, y enseñar entonces no persona puede tener incredulidad

(I know that, if we have no doubt and have faith in Christ, we can do all things. My motivation for my mission now is to show the other missionaries that Christ is not a liar. With faith and the will of God, we can do miracles and all things. We can work a lot and not be sleepy. I know that, with God, we can learn this language in six weeks, and then teach so no person can have disbelief.
