Elder Zachary Ahlmer: Pricillano and Estela

Mission Detail

The church has been in the Monterrey Area since 1922 but as you can imagine if you know the history of Mexico, the first 20 years were rocky. Religious persecutions of all kinds took place beginning in the late 1920′s. It wasn’t until the 1950′s that the first district was organized here. Our actual mission, the Mexico Monterrey West Mission was formed in 1994.
Our mission consists of twelve stakes and two districts. In Monterrey, which is in the state of Nuevo Leon, the mission includes six stakes. The rest of the stakes are in the state of Coahuila. Three stakes are in Saltillo. Two stakes are in Monclova. Piedras Negras has one stake with the two districts about an hour away from it to the south Nueva Rosita and to the northwest Acuña. Both Acuña and Piedras Negras are border towns with Texas.

Pricillano and Estela

Hey everyone!

So things ave been going by so fast I cant believe it! We are having a great time here in Estanzuela and I really dontwant to get changed! Well its rainy season again nd I love it! Our area is a huge mountain and so all the streets turn into rivers when it rains! Ill try and get some pictures this week! Oh and sometimes its like supper hot and sunny and it rains at the same time that's always nice!

This week we found some amazing people! Priciliano and his wife(still not married yet) Estela! They are from San Luis and are really interested in the gospel! We have put baptism dates with them but they need to get married first! We talked to the about that Monday and they both want to and tomorrow we are going to the Temple with them to talk about how they an be sealed for time and all eternity! They came to church Sunday and liked it a lot!
