June 30th - ALWAYS LEARNING!

Ok so here is the deal...everything is all good here in the ward.  We are working hard and stuff and we are having more success.  We had tons of lessons with members this week but we have to find more investigators.  That's like the biggest trial right now for us. We were gonna have a baptism this week but not anymore.  We are gonna have to wait another week because M. didn't come to church this week. She had to pick up her daughter because she is divorced.  So the on the 12th we will have a baptism.  Everything is good in the hood, loving the work and just learning a ton. The good thing is that I am always learning something, every change I learn something new that helps me to be better.
Ya, I am glad both packages arrived,  I will probably get the packages tomorrow cuz I have interchanges with the zone leaders. 
Momma, I got to go,  love you tons but I got to go to Walmart to get some food and stuff.  Make sure to say "what up" to Moody for me and send more pics.  Tell him he needs to do something with GeeTV to save all of our memories.  I think he will put them on his computer or something.  I loved seeing the pic of K.G. and Wiggins...Hahaha!!! I am glad they went and hung out with Syd for her bday. 

I love you tons Mom

I still hate mayo...but that's the legit stuff right there

June 14th - DON'T WAIT AROUND FOR UNRIPE TOMATOES!

Dad, Father's get no respect around here ...boiyo, sorry.  I tried to call you on a pay phone to say whatup but those things suck too.
The work is going good,  we have dropped a lot of people that we were teaching before because they don't want anything.   But the good thing is, that we are gonna have a baptism on the 28th... I think and the 5th of July,  so that is gonna be tight.   I just hope I stay here in the area and not leave so I can be here for them. But whatever, all is good.
We just figured out that we waste a lot of time with people who don't want to change.   Elder Johnson talked about that a lot this week in the conference.  We shouldn't wait around the garden for tomatoes that aren't ready to be picked,  better look for those tomatoes who are hidden but ready and ripe.  We are gonna have a baptism in 2 weeks make sure you keep M and L in your prayers so that their baptism dates don't fall and they stay strong.
Holy crap... the world cup is fetchin crazy here.  We can't even get into houses when there are games on and the streets are dead cuz everyone is in their houses watching it ...Hahaha!!   And forget it when Mexico is playing the members refuse to turn the game off  and they flat out say "NO".   It's soo funny everyone loves futbol here.  But you know that I hecka wear my Chicharito jersey everynight because they won 2 days ago...beleeeeeeeeeedat!! Everyone was going crazy Hahaha!!.   I am glad you saw a glimpse of Mexico outside the stadium aka the Acoxpan Ward ... just know thats where I was 2 months ago and walked that walkway everyday...Hahaha!! Small world.   I  got like millions of homies up there in Acoxpan.

No,  I didnt really try to call Dad...Hahaha!!  It was a joke!!   Mom,  make sure that the family prays and reads the scrips together.  Seriously, if you want blessings ... you will do it.  We always see tons of blessings in the families who read the scriptures and pray together.  It's something that everyone has to do if you constantly want to gain more faith.

Love you tons Mom.  

 



Our conference with Elder Johnson

 

 

June 8 - DYNAMIC DUO!

Holy...that's sooo sick and I am sooo stoked for Kyle being invited to the recruiting camp.  That's sooo gangster!! I am stoked to hear about Syd's soccer games and stuff ...that's sweet that they took home the bronze.
So here is the deal, so me and my comp are good (he reminds me a lot of Alex Leblanc...Hahaha!! but Latino)  So this area is pretty sweet and we are starting to have more success and find more people.  We found a cool family of 4  the other day when we were contacting.  Also,  we put another baptism date this week with a new lady we found.   Her name is M and she is awesome and super ready.  She is just a little scared to get baptized.  So all is good in the area and my comp is learning a lot and stuff.
Funny story... I had a dynamic duo of puking and crappin diarrhea at the same time 2 nights ago... Hahaha!!  Man,  that's the first time that that has happened to me and it was crazy!!
This week the president of the area Elder Johnson is coming to talk to us on Wednesday and after I am going on splits with Elder Y (zone leader) from Brighton High School.   The funny thing is that he knew me before the mission because of the state championship soccer game senior year.   When we jumped the fence and stormed the field and ran over to the other student section and said stuff that I shouldn't have.   He was there and saw me...Hahaha!! 
But all is good the ward is doing good.  We have like 80 - 90 people are coming to church from the ward ... but its still a pretty good number.
The cool thing is that we also are doing some exercises in the morning.   We found a sick indoor soccer field with turf and we always play there cuz its never locked up.   We wake up at 6:20 and go there every morning ....it's ballin!!

I got to go Momma,  I love you tons!!  Peace out !! Tell the fam I say whatup?

ADIOS!

June 1st - I AM & 100% MEXICAN!

Hey Momma!  I loved the email you sent.  Hey, but that totally sucks about the package being stuck in customs and stuff but if you can try to send it again that would be sick cuz I need some ties and that shampoo, por favor!!  MOM I'M LOOSING MY HAIR!!!!!!!!!  I look like a freakin idiot and I have to get married when I get home I can't when I am bald and 21 ears old.  But whatever!  Whatever you do is fine but if you can send more shampoo that would be sick!  Just put a ton of Jesus and virgin Mary stickers on it and make it look the package on the outside is crappy.  If it looks nice they will steal everything.  That's how it works here.
This week was super cool.  We saw some miracles with some of the investigatores that we have been teachin and we put 2 baptisms to date.  Make sure you pray for S and J so they keep choosin the right so they can get baptized.

I got to go everything is good, so dont worry.  We are gonna start to work normal again this week and stuff so we should start to have more success.  Don't worry about the package, its not a big deal just wait for it to be shipped back and resend it.  I am not really worried about it as long as there is money in my account.   There is no problem cuz I can buy stuff here so just put money in my account and I will be ok.  I am 100 percent Mexican,  so I can find my way around things and always find what i need...so don't worry.

Love you tons Momma,  make sure you say "hola" to everyone for me and tell the family I love them tons... that is what's the most important!!
