Jeni: No letter for the 19th! He had a busy two weeks. : )


Fun week! Really was though. I will tell you all about it, but not until after I reply to your letter(s).

 

 

Well, yalls thanksgiving sounds so much better then mine. I had work all day and then some pizza at night. Not much. All is well though

 

 

Ok, well I guess I wont wait to give you guys transfers, since you asked mom. I am staying here in Cuautepec with Quirante. The reason why I did not change was because all the Americans VISAs got postponed and so the majority of the people that where going to train got changed around. I am not sure if I was going to be one of those, but either way. The possibility of me training is still there, but I just dont know when. Me and Quirante are going to work sup hard and get more baptisms and what not to show President that I can train. It is all cool though. Just means you will get to see my semi-asian companion on Christmas.

 

2 Baptisms, 1 was Kateryn:

She was the girl who had the dream that I told you about. And yes it is a bit wierd that a little 9 year old girl dreamed about me. But no, I dont think that it is illigal.

The other baptism was Georgina. She is the mom of one of the young men in our ward and she is the one that kept saying she was confused. So she has been quite a tough cookie, and on Tuesday we basically had to give her an ultimatum. She was going to get baptised on Wednesday or we where going to stop visiting her. This strategy is something Elder Barben taught me when he was training me. It is a bit risky, but I felt as though that is what I needed to do. So we did so, and the next day she was there in the font with me, and on Sunday she was there at church getting confirmed. All she needed, I think, was a push. And that push was the ultimatum, acompanied by the Spirit, we gave her. It was cool, to see how it worked out. Her baptism was great and the majority of her family that lived near by came. So I think she will be a good member. She also seemed so much happier, not confused and less stressed since her baptism.

Being tired is part of the mission. I dont think I have known a missionary that has not been tired alot on the mission. Atleast here. I think alot has to do with the hills I go up and down all day. Lots of walking! Yus! No worries though, I aint sick. And Mom I am pretty sure that infection is gone. I have just had a bit of a cough since then. But its been like that everytime I get sick. It has alot to do with the polution here. It is terrible here! All of Mexico city is sorrounded by hills and mountains and there are so many cars and pollution that it gets all trapped inside the "bowl". Its all good though, I have adapted.

I am good. Running around like crazy. I love every second that I am here. Even though at times it can get almost unbearable. I know this is axactly where I need to be and I know that anywhere else would not be so cool. The people, They are the bomb diggaty. forreals. Hahaha. I cant say I would want to do this all over again NOW but yes, in the future, I plan on going on missions with my Wife. Whomever she may be.

Ok, as for stuff that happened this week. Well other then those baptisms and changes nothing much. I had to go to Imagration to renew my VISA this last week. But that is not toooo exciting.

Ummm I get to go see the sealing of one of ELder Quirantes convert families. He is excited for that. Cant say I am not not excited. Cuz I am. So excited! Get to go inside that temple! Yus!

Also, on the 19th we get to have a Christmas party of the mission. If you remember last year, we saw 2 movies, ate and had fun! I am excited!

Also ordered a shirt with one of my drawings on it. They are going to color it in for me and everything. Cant wait to get that either. I get it on next Tuesday. I will send pictures as soon as I get it. So anxious to seeeeee!

Well, I think that is it for right now. I will send more pictures soon. Look out for those.

I love you guys lots.
