Hey Fam

Hey fam....

     Well sounds like your weeks went well there. Joshs ankle looks good, I like the new style. I hope the doctors do a good job on it. Its hard sometimes to be here in Mex. because of the lack of medical care there is. Its sad to see that people who had very minor injuries are effected for there entire life becuase of it. If you were here Josh you would never walk again on that foot. If you want good medical attencion they either go to the other side or they go to D.F. but the both of them mean you need alot of money.... and no one has the kind of cash. Unless you sell drugs... or follow the gospel and pay tithing. Its amazing to see how the faithful members are so blessed. Maybe its because of the sercumstances that makes them faithful or maybe its because theyve been faithful that they have good sercumstances. (thats not even close to spelled right). This week we had transfers which aight. My comp got switched which is kinda lame. But my new comp seems alright Elder Choc he is from guatemala and worked in a bakery so Ill see if he can teach me how to make some mexican bread haha ;)

We had some super omeletes this week. We ate Omeletes with rajas con queso. Its basically chile thats been sweated and peeled with cream and cheese in an omelete and a salsa made in a molcajete. Or a big grinder. It turned out super well. Next week the same family I think is going to make us oisters haha. super happy.

Well our investigators are..... well we really dont have any. We have 2 that will be bap. in nov. But they need to get married. And we found 3 new ones last week. They have been to church twice now and they we be bap. in Oct im sure. We still havnt. been able to share a good message with them yet. The situacion in the family is super sad. The oldest girl was living here with her dad she is 16 and has a 2 yr old and is prego. Her mom was living with her 2nd husband and her 2 other daughters.... they are 11 and 6 when her other husband didnt respect the 2 little girls. So now the oldest of the 2 little ones has some serious phsyc problems for what her dad did to her. Anyways so they left the house were they were living and moved here. Taking with them nothing because it costs to much to move here. Anyways.... I hope that they can find the peace that there heavenly father has to offer them. They are a super cool family just have passed through alot of really hard things.

This week me and my comp spent alot of hours working on a master training meeting for our stake that each bishop was going to do in his ward councel. To get the area plan to work... Theyve got 10 months with the new one and its not even close to finishing. And also to get the ward members to work. Well it took us alot of work. And turned out super easy to understand. But the bishop didnt follow the training we gave him and the ward councel turned into a huge mess this week. The members were all yelling at each other. There was a couple that said they couldnt go to the councle meetings becuase they werent that devoted to the lord, and that even though sundayshould be devoted to God they were the exepction because of there family they had... and just alot of stuff went down... alot. In the end the bishop calmed eveyone down and they chewed into them haha. But wow, I hope when I get home I can complete with whatever assignment, or calling  they give me. As it may not be easy but... well they cant say they didnt sign up for this. They know what God wants from them.

Anyways, I love you all tons, I hope you have a great week

Peace, Love, and keep living the good life..

Aqui esta una familia bien poderosa.... They are all members exepct the dad, they are going to go live in the hills so that they dont have to pay rent were they are at. Sotomorrow in the morning we are going to go help him do some work on his house. Its literally a 8 by 16 room that will be there house. Its going to be pretty hard on the fam. especially on the kids but theyll make it. 

The other pic is of the district. since the other part of the zone is super far away haha.

Fun Week

Anyways, This week was fun. The Elderes from San Quintin and Guerrero Negro came for the zone conference, so they stayed in our house on monday night, plus on monday we played some serious soccer, Wow my body hurt so bad, I may not be great at soccer, but I work hard so I can still keep up with the rest of them. But yeah, tuesday we had a zone conference, it went pretty good, and then that night we went to a meeting with the Mis Pres and Stake Pres. Its a fun meeting, I made some new reports this time that showed the retencion of new converts and an overall growth in the attendance in sacrament. The charts turned out really well, and I enjoyed presenting it to the stake pres. and showing him that his stake is gowing down the hole haha. No but really 6 of 9 wards have decressed in attendance. and the other 2 have stayed the same. The only ward that has had progress is ours we had a 11 percent increase. Anyways we are working super hard. The pres says next week he is going to send 2 missionaries more to work here so that will be interesting.

After the meeting we convinced the pres to take us out to tacos.... Wow Im going to miss the tacos. Alot. They really are supper good, and Im pretty sure you cant make them on the other side because of health codes haha. We were sitting there with the pres when his wife found us... haha The pres. face was like a childs while being scolded by his mother after stealing candy it was priceless.

Wed. we had noche mexicana in the stake for the Ind. day. 15 of Sep. it was pretty fun. There was alot of food. A guy from our ward, wow is a teacher, had class at that hour so I showed up to the class told all students. (college students) that there was free food there and so he took his whole class. So we got so referals from there. Other then that.

On sat. we had a bap. Well our ward mission leader was in charge of filling the font. There wasnt water because a pipe had broken.... or something like that, is pretty hard to explain. But basically that made it so the water reserve had filled up completely. above the level of the drain for the bap font. So he just opened the drain and let water come back in... through the drain into the font. Well the water was disgusting, me and my comp showed up and well to fix the prob. we needed a pump. so we decided to just try to clean the water. We made nets out of supplys the relief. society had. and well tried to clean the water and mop the floor and well the water was a super dirty so we shaved on of the toilet tablets up to put in the water and make it blue..... anyways, the water turned out super dirty, with blue specs, and so we ended up filling up the font in another church and there we did the bap. haha. it was pretty good. The bap. went super well and the spirit was strong.

All in all it has been a great week, working hard and super tired. Plus its super hot again. but life good.

Peace, Love, and till next week. 

Here comes winter

Well life here is great. I always think of alot of things Im going to write you guys and then forget them all. I used to write them in my agenda, but this week it kinda got soaked with sweat and well its alil trashed, so i didnt end up writting anything there for today. Anyways. As far as the missionary work goes its..... Hard. Im not big on this whole 5 week thing. We have 4 lesson we teach thats it. So now we have to figure out something to tell this people for the next 3 weeks. Not cool. also its super hard to get people to church here.  But we are going to have a bap. this week. So atleast we will have 1 this month. But right now Im putting our bap. date for the last week in oct. and it feels super weird. Im sure I will leave the mission before I get used to this new form of work we are doing. But Ive seen alot of changes in my mission. 18 yr. old missionaries. We stopped knocking doors. sis. trainingship leaders. and now this 5 week thing. So yeah things have changed but its all for the better.

This week in church was crazy. we only had  investigator which is a total bummer but. all in all the church meeting went well. our people who were progressing stopped and well we are now in a hole. But anyways. We were in the priesthood class when the guy who brought the lesson. Left the class and asked some other guy to give the lesson. Anyways everyone started to share the own feelings on leardership. And well one guy started talking and a couple people hard a dif. point of view them him. and they tried to interupt but he kept teling them to be quite. until one guy gets up and starts yelling. "No soy burro ni burrito" haha he just kept repeating that, until the first councelor lead him out of the room then he ran back in swing at the guy and the first councelor had to pull him out again... haha it was crazy.

This week was the fight with mayweather and canelo. Its cool that here in Mx boxing is a big deal. So that was fun. I didnt get to see the fight obviously but still enjoyed talking about it with people, Canelo is from mex. So i just egged people on about how mayweather was going to win haha. Also it was sep. 15 here which is there day of independence. So that was fun. The people actually dont do anything but still they usually have some small partys and drink alot and then they go to the "yell" el grito and they give respect for the soldiers that died. Kinda cool.

Hey pops we need to take a trip to go sea fishing.... I wanna catch some fish out there. and we should prob. do it on kayaks so that its even funner. how that sound? oh and we will prob. need another bike so you can teach me what up.... just a suggestion.

Anyways I love you all. and Hope you have a great week

Peace, Love and here comes winter yeah

Love the work.

Hows life there in the states holding up. Provo got slammed with rain huh? I guess thats God saying BYU should repent, Utah y BYU play this week no? Thatll be a sick game..... well it would be if I were there but you can give me a play by play next monday. This week went well. The two Elderes that were here with us, went back to san quitin. My comps foot is getting better but he has scar tissue that has built up under his toe that is retracting it. So he wil get surgery when he gets back. They did it wrong like 3 times here, and he even went to specialists and everthing. He still has the warts so basically it has all been for nothing. He gets kinda down on himself sometimes but he is a good guy.

Today we went to the bufadora... the blowhole. its a place were the sea builds up pressure and blows a ton of water in the air.... well it wasnt working... they had turned off the pumps or something..... no JK its just that the water was super calm... all in all the sea was super beautiful and I wouldnt mind living in Cali to ski and surf all year long haha. I bought some suveniers of MX. Im now buying stuff to take to my house.... thats crazy. This week I got a letter about my flight, and some numbers that they need. Wow.... its not all that far away I guess.

On tuesday we went to the leadership council. It was boring as usual but I liked hearing the pres talk. We went to rosarito first and ate a huge burrito.. gaint as in like a tortilla that is atleast 24 inches in diamater. filled with cheese, adobada and asada.... Meat lots and lots of meat. I finished it, easily haha then Elder Alfaro barely finished his and my comp and another missionary stopped half way through. They were super delicious haha. Then we got to the house of the assistants and it was super hot. I slept with the cocroaches and mice... acually I didnt sleep till like 4 in the morning. it was tererible. And I threw up.... well ore like gagged myself, cuz on the burrito I couldnt find a cummfy position haha. Anyways the conference was fun. We were in the conference and the Pres, in front of everyone said he wanted me to stay another 6 months here in the mission with him till he gets relieved as pres. Now everyone is on my back, saying im some brown noser... cant say im not haha. it never hurts to be on someones good side. Ive just always tried to better the mission and better the people. The church is just like anyother organization it is always changing and growing to better meet the needs of the people... the gospel remains the same but the way we preach it changes. Ive just always tried to speed up those changes and do what I can to serve the lord.

Anyways. I love the mission, and if the pres really let me stay I would sacrifice everything Ive worked for in my schooling but for the Lord I would stay. He is my savior, he is my redeemer, for him I have come here, for him and the love I have for him I preach his gospel, and through him one day I will gain my recompense.... along side abraham, along side Isaac. A life dedicated to the Lord, is the only life that really matters.

I love you all.

Peace, Love ,and I hope all is well in Zion
