Yep Costco!

Well fortunatly today, went really well. That is we woke up on a p day, got dressed and drove to Costco... Yep Costco. Thank goodness. It felt like home, its been a long time since I´ve been there. The only problem is that it is my week to buy the food. My companion started throwing food in the cart like it was black friday, and when all said and done we came out of there at 1300 pesos, like 100 dollars. Well he will be doing all the shopping for this month, but we shouldnt need much, So thats nice. But we got a pizza while we were there, they also have jalepenos in the mexico costcos, so the pizza was way good. Mostly everything there is like the states though. Except in spanish, and usually the brands arent as nice.

Well this week has been good, I got my first letter here in TJ actually 2 from gramsy and one from you guys, and my package from Deb. Thanks debbie everything is great. My feet feel alot better with the orthotics, I actually havent tried out the new shoes yet, I´m to proud of how they look haha, but I´ll break them in this week. They are sweet though. and how do I use the powder? I´m not really sure what to do with it. Mix it with water or just put it on my feet. Fortunatly I´m pretty used to blisters by now but I¨ll start to try to change that. I have had blisters on my feet since the first week here, and they just keep coming. But hey I´m not here to be comfortable and live like a king, The Lord is my strenght and really my feet don´t hurt much, I´m blessed by God that everything is going well. This week also, I´m guessing there is flees in my bed, or something like that. One of my shoulders has like 30 bites on it, and they itch like the dickens. I´ve been using alittle bit of lavender oil on  them but mostly just ask god that they don´t itch... and they don´t usually. So today, I´m washing my sheets, thank goodness... Ahh man, I just remembered I forgot to wash my towell :(.

We also went and did some service this week, there was a cement floor like 30X20 that a inactive member wanted torn up. So we went over there to do it. It wasnt bad, but the only tools we had were a shovel and a pick(well an oversized piece of rebar) so it took some serious work to get it all up. And I was the only one strong enough to actually tear apart the concrete.(Because only my companion and 2 kids were helping) and I was also the only one that knew how to use a shovel. So I did alot of work. But I enjoyed it all. My companion started working, and he hasnt done much before so he got 12 blisters on one hand haha how terrible eh:). But the service went well.

This week had its ups and its downs though. We had a date for baptism with a man (30 years old) for this wednesday) but a couple days after we tought the law of chastity, he chikened out. He says he doesnt want to give up the women, he name is estephan, its wierd because he quite smoking and drinking and everything... well in time I guess. The good part is that one of our investigators that we have had for 6 weeks now, Christina we went over there yesterday, and brought along a member. They both got along really well and she opened up to him, something she wouldnt do for use. Her doubts about bap. were that she didnt´want to quite dancing and didnt want to get married was fast. She thought that, we didnt dance and that if you were mormon you needed to get married way soon. haha, well after explaining that this isn´t the case, she will be baptised this wednesday. hopefully along with a girl named chuwe, like chewey, its a little wierd thats the nik name for Jesus. hmmm, how respectful.... Anyways, her records are lost so we will baptise her again haha caching caching haha:)

Anyways, to end the letter, I´ll do it with the wildlife here. This week I was futunate to see the beuatiful wildlife of TJ in its natural habitat. That is as a dog crossed the highway it was struck by a car, and as it flew about 100 meters, The person in the car began to honk at the dog like it would help it in the air.. well thats one habitat. The other was the nice cat that was under the car, as two dogs began to prowell, they cornered the cat, and as one grabbed it by its head the other by its feet they started to yank and yank, the cat screaming, and screaming. and then... the silence.. hmmm the beauty of animals living there lifes right here in TJ. man they are blessed.

Well peace, love, and Well I pray lots for all of you
