Holy Tacos!

It was a pretty good movie thats what we watched for our zone activity today (pacific Rim) We set the projector up in the church and blacked out a room. Anyways it was fun. This week I went down to San quintin which is alwyas terrible. Basically it is a little town which is ran about the agriculture so basically everyone there works in the fields. Which makes them all look as if they were from the middle east because of their wrapped heads and covered up mouths. You can only see the tiniest slit in between the bandana on the mouth and there turbin to see there eyes. There is only 1 paved raod there and the pres. stopped sending english missionaries there because the all leave with typhoid fever. Anyways it was fun as always its like a 4 hour bus ride so we get to watch some movies. We watched the avengers and also madagascar 3. Well while I was down there they just gave us money for the lunch... the missionaries no longer eat with the members down there, because the member always cook things that are un eatable. But this time the member just siad he wanted to give us money well he gave us 30 bucks so we each ate aton. It was super fun. We had 10 tacos for lunch with a soda then after that we worked and went and bought aguas... de frutas y de cebada. mine was de cebada which may be against the word of wisdom but ill stay in my innocence and ignorance and keep drinking it. Usually its just roasted wheat but I really dont know what else they put in there. And in the night we ate another 20 tacos de adobada with 2 really hot salsas. after we started and the owner say we like salsa he brought us out habaneros to eat with the tacos... Haha, we were all crying. But they we super good. Loved em. The only bad part about those pepers is the they never stop burning, infact i think they burn more coming out then in. Well the tacos were super good. Its pork stips marinaded in chile and then put on a vertical scewer making a large top looking thing of straight meat and then a large shooting flam roast it as they cut it off onto a tortilla to give you some of the best tasting things you will ever have. I eat tacos at least 2 a week. And love them. Actually Saturday one of my best friends here in the mission who left like 5 months ago came back down.... And so I saw him for like 30 min in the night. and well haha we ate more tacos... what up. Ive heard that there is actually tacos close to temple square I will investigate later.

As far as investigators go. I would love to tell you tons of stories but basically its the same I teach them and then they say they will get baptized and go to church and well they never do. So.... the dont progress. What a bummer. But this sunday was sweet because we reactivated a less active family and we had all 9 of them in church and they took up an entire row in the sac. meeting it was super cool to think that God let me be the means for which they came back to his flock. Oh hey by the way I have no Idea about my flight info. Because when I sent you guys that email asking you to fill it out you never did and so well my ticket isnt bought yet. I just told them I had no idea any of that info and my fam doesnt love me and wouldnt help me. So they said they would just figure it out. But yeah.

Anyways. I love you all tons and am super happy your all alright I hope you have a great week. This week Im going to TJ thursday, Sat, and monday. So that will be fun. The part that wont be fun is I will be having a meeting with the 70 and am going to tell him that I didnt bap. this month and that my zone bap. 2. Thatll be fun to see his reaction. haha.ç

Peace, Love, and Well yeah

You guys can make it.

Alright. I know you all hate my letters but....... to bad its only for 2 more months... You guys can make it. So basically Im training a new ZL and a new Elder. so we are in a threesome. Anyways I think We will be back in like a couple hours to write again. So well I guess Ill write you guys in a couple minutes.

********************************************************


Im back but Im still just going to write quick. This week went good. We didnt have any big success we found a couple new investigators and lost some old ones..... seems very familiar. But weve got 7 baptismal dates right now which is cool. They just need to go to church so they can progress.... which is not as easy as it sounds. Im glad the family is doing alright and that my brother crashed.... he needs to sometimes ;) love you bro. Im excited to go ski when I get home but I hope you know Im just going to take it calm... like I do with everything In life. So ive been thinking to actually sell my skis and just get me a pair of 90s under foot, so I can just go down the groomers and stuff like that........ Seems like a good idea right? Well see if I do it when I get home or not. But yeah. Life here is good. We have had a good week even though they feed us the same thing every day. Tacos dorados.... basically its what grams makes just that you fold it in half with meat inside. then you bake it to make it a hard shell. After that you put cheese and what ever you want on top. super good but super unhealthly. My comps are allright. The one from Idaho. He is a good guy. yeah he has like 2 weeks here in Mex. so he doesnt speak much spanish but he has a big heart... and the other one has a year here. He is from guatamala. Just to tell you I want to go to guatamala to hike some volcanoes and stuff like that. Its tight down there. And well Im not that fond of him you could say..... Hate is a strong word but I reallly really really dislike him. But yeah. Ill make it I figure how long could I be with him for..... 8 more weeks.... Ill make the final push.

We had interviews with the pres. this week. I always enjoy talkin to that man. Hes a super good guy. We talked about the zone, and my comps he says he put them both with me so I could train them both.... thank you pres, thats not cool. He says that here in the next couple of weeks he is going to take me to the temple... If he does we can just go to Sea world all day. He usually just takes the assistents so I must be on his semi good list. It would be cool if one day you guys meet him. His daughter is actually at BYU right now and is going to get married to the cusin of my comp in Michigan... Def. one of my best comps ever. The pres thanked me for the work Ive down and thanked, and just told me to give it my all on the way out... I plan to. We were supposed to have a meeting with the stake pres and the miss. pres this week and I spent a couple long hours slaving away with formats and excel doc. and numbers and graphs and stuff. It turned out alright. not my best but not my worst either. I like to do it so that numbers actually make sense and that the stake pres. takes action. Its fun because the pres always shows my reports in the leadership conferences and now the whole mission does something similar. When I showed up here the missioneres didnt think much for themselves they just kinda  did what the pres said and never tried to make something there own or better it. The pres thanked me for helping the mission change in that way. All in all the interview and everything went well. Im glad Ive had some sort of effect here in the mission because honestly my converts havnt gone so well. Almost all of them are inactive and it makes me sad to think, that because the wards didnt do anything after to help them out that the converts just kinda slipped away. My last two areas Ive been able to change the wards enough to help them make plans to keep the people active. Honestly its exhausting work to always be there doing what isnt my job. But Im not about to let all my converts slip away.

Anyways Im super glad that your alright. Its good to here there is a little snow there atleast. Im excited to see snow again.

Anyways I love you all tons I hope you have a great week. Be careful bro.

Peace, Love, and have fun while Im gone.

Conference

Alright..... This letter is not going to be all that great so I hope you dont kill me

   First things first. My comp is a good guy. He is from guatemala and well we get along well. He works hard and all that so Ill have no prob. with him. Today we played soccer as a Z activity and invited the other zone. We played hard and won alot of the games. But wow does my body hurt. I wish I was in shape again..... But i guess my time will come. He if z is buying all this AT gear who is he going to go with? Ive got cash but Im not rich haha. But really what cash Ive got, well buy what you can with it if you need to so that my bro has got a partner in the snow. otherwise he will die in the avi. This week was good, Elder leir is a good kid. Super smart, went to U of Chicago. I costs 60,000 the year there.... thank goodness Im not that smart. We put acouple bap. date this week, but seeing as the conf. was super far away it was basically imposible to get inv. to go and well. We now have nothing. No one went... so that was super lame. I really enjoyed the conf. and actually watched apart in english which was nice.  dont have any problems with spanish but you dont actually here the voice of the prophets so I really did enjoy the english part I watch. Then again Elder Perry records his in spanish so thats pretty cool and a couple of the other Spanish people that talked did the same. But yeah it was super good. I really enjoyed how it was super centered in the family and also in missionary work. I enjoyed it aton. Its cool cuz after conference, time seems to go by super fast. and well seeing as I dont have much of it. It is going by even faster. This month is jam packed. Right now actually my letter is super bad cuz I still need to cut my hair, bath and get on a bus to got to TJ before the night is through. So yeah. Sorry. We do have a couple people that are cool that we are teaching right now. But as far as someone that is progressing super well. We really dont have anyone. So Ill keep working on that one.

Oh yeah, Mom youd be super jelous we ate super good this week. We aight Clam and Shrimp coctail..... Super good and super raw. Actually we slit open there shells and took out the clams and then through them in with some Shrimps.... which are actually boiled and some shrimp water, alittle bit of pico de gallo aton of ketchup and aton of chilis and boom.... super good. Oh yeah then we got out the oisters.... super ugly but we slit open the shells cut the oister free. leaving it in the shell then would drench it in lime and chili. throw back the head and let it all slide off the shell and into your mouth... it feels about like raw egg but it tastes really good. One day when we are on the beach we can do.

Hey I thought I sent this one monday.... sorry about that here it is half finished
