Baja

Hey fam. So life is super good. This week we went to the baja 1000. Can I say dope..... super dope. Honestly those trucks are pimped out to the teeth...... some of them really did have teeth. We went and looked at all the clase 1 and trophy trucks. I would send you pics but I think my camera is infected with mexican internet beatles so thatll be a project for when I get home.... just the chip can only be read by the camera.... anyways. after that we went to one of the places that the cars were going to pass. It was a dirt jump that they had made in the middle of a water spill way. There was people up and down the banks and in the bottom, up in the trees. Basically they were everywhere. There was aton of guys. so that was cool The trophies  would come by doing 60 miles an hour and hit the jump then land and smash into a gaint puddle at was tight. Then they had a short stretch of sand before they went under the tunnel. Basically it was insane. and super tight. in between cars people would start crossing the track and everyone would start cheering for  them saying they were idiots haha. and then the police came and took the people out of the track and then everyone cheered even more. It was dope. Def. the highlight of my week. Weve got 4 or 5 bap. this week. and the work is going super well right now. I really do love you all aton even though I dont write much. and well yeah pops if I need to give a talk the 18 I can do it. Just tell me before hand what Im going to talk about.

Peace, and love.

He'll be coming around the corner when he comes! Toot! Toot!

So this week was tranfers. Thank goodness Im staying here for my last 5 weeks. Last night was kinda interesting. We have one sector which they are closing down, so we went and talked to the owners and all that jazz. Then after that we went to the bus center because we needed to pick up a missionary and drop him off at his new sector Well he got in around 9 15. And When we got to his house it was like 9:30 well the Elders on sunday need to be in the house by 8:30 at the latest. We show up there and right as we show up the Elders are getting home. We unpack the car and put his stuff inside. Then one of the Elder goes to leave the house again. He wanted to go back to some party that they were at. He goes home with me and he now thinks that the mission rules dont apply to him. I told him to get back in side and he basically told me to go to ....... and that he wasnt going to go back in. So I sent the other two missionaries to their house. And then me and my comp repremended the member for letting the missionary be obediente, and then the missionary and well we left in the car. and came back and the missionary was trying to leave with the member again. So we tore into them again. And well..... yeah. So i was not happy last night. But now its all good. He is no longer in the zone and I told the Pres that he needs to put him in a threesome with ZL so we will see what goes down.

As far as investigators go. 6 months ago 2 little girls got bap. and there parents werent married yet so they couldnt get bap. Well we aranged their marriage for the 22nd of this month and also there bap. will be for that day also. So that is tight. We should have like another 6 bap. before I go home. So thats super cool. Im excited about that. The only prob. is that no one wants to go to church. We only had 1 of our investigators that went to church this week. Super lame. But the good thing is is they are all still on track for their bap. dates. 

Saturday we were headed to our food appointment and we were alittle late so we were headed super fast. Well I passed by a street that had a party going on. Ducked under the rope that they had hung to keep the cars from going by and kept riding at full speed. Alittle bit farther down the road me and my comp stopped and looked back to find our other comp. Elder Mccracken. After a good 20 seconds he showed up and we kept going. He seemed pretty mad and I was thinking whats wrong with this kid. Well it didnt all make sense to me until we showed up to the house and I saw that his whole back and side sere covered in dirt. haha. Apparently he hadnt actually seen the rope so while riding at full speed, right before he got to the rope he noticed it and he felt like his best choice was to put his bike down on its side..... haha he was not happy....

Other then that the week was pretty normal. Did I ever say I really like the bible. That book is tight. More the new testement. But I've been studying it for a while now... like 6 months, and I really like paul. That guy is quite the writer.

Anyways, I love you all and I hope you have a great week. Thanks for the letters and for all the love.

Peace, Love and she'll be coming around the corner when she comes.

Pretty dang good

So this week was pretty dang good. As far a investigators go. Well I can´t say that we had a ton of success. We did get 6 to go to church this week and 4 of them have bap. dates for next week. So we will see how that goes. I hope we can pullit off to have all 4 bap. Its gonna be hard but Itll be good. This week we went on thursday to Tij. We rented out a bus and took all the Elders up to Tij. It was sweet. Once we got there we had a meeting with Elder Walker of the 70. The guy is super white with blue eyes. and pretty tall. His wife is also super white and like 5 10 so I was thinking they werent going to be able to speak spanish very well. Turns out they are both from Argentina so they speak it perfectly... with an accent but its aight. The meeting went super well. the talks were very generel. Speaking about the holy ghost and obedience and bap. But they were good. I honestly was just trying to stay awake. But then on Saturday. We went back to Tij. this time just for a meeting with him and the ZLs It was super good. His wife talked about Cap. Moroni and the way he lead his troops. The reasons why he had so much success. It was a super inspirational talk as a leader. She talked about Moroni and who he looked out for not only the temporal well being but also the spritual well being of his soldiers and that he always trusted in the lord. Turning to Alma or the prophet at this time before he went to war. It was a very good talk. Her Husband Elder Walker talked about Alma and Amulek and how he didnt have success in the town of amoniha (something like that) until he went back for the second time with Amulek ( a less active member of the church) as a companion to help him out. When The preaching power of Alma and the friend base that Amulek had, they were able to actually have converts in that city. Anyways. The talks were all super good and the spirit was super strong.

     On the bus we got to watch battleship and the start of batman. Battleship is decent. alittle wierd but its not a bad mission movie. I thik today we are just going to go shopping, I want to buy stuff for when I go home, but its all super hevy so I think I will wait till I come back to get it all. That way we can cook beans in a clay pot and have a bowl to grind the salsa and yeah there is aton of mexican stuff we need to be honest. Basically there culture revolves around food. And well most people dont actually know how to make it but there are acouple that are super good at it though. And if you make it with the right stuff. It tastes amazing. Like drinking water out of clay pitchers (amazing) beans out of a clay pot (amazing) better then any crocpot, Anyways, they do alright with the food down here haha. Im learning alittle bit. Its honestly pretty easy to do it all, so we shouldnt have to many problems cooking it at home. Plus my comp from michigan lives up there and cooks way good mexican food so we will have him show us.

     But yeah, we will be doing alot of carne asada when I get home, some chiliquiles, huaraches, flautas, picadas, sopes, frijoles puercos, carnitas, siete mares, unas almejas o jaivas...... no manches bien sabroso todo. Itll be fun.

Oh hey sorry that last week I said that about my plane ticket. I didnt think youd take it serious. If we didnt fill that out they would just call you guys and get the info that way. They just needed the numbers to be able to talk to the stake pres to makade sure everything is alright for when I get home. That I still have a home and family and all that jazz. But anyways thatnks for geting it to them.

Anyways I hope You all know I love you all tons. As far as stuff for my B day. Just give it to me when I get back, It would be feckless to actuallly send me something and as far as christmas, Well I like skiing and camping, and women. So if it has something to do with the first 2 I think youll make good choices. Ill take care of the 3 one on my own.

Oh hey mom if you could sign up for my school that would be sweet. like 16 or 18 credit hours. Or basically what ever looks alright, I enjoyed only taking 12 last semester that was dope. Also Im guessing it will be important to go and talk to the scholarship office again, if you would so kindly do that for me. Hey Im still going to get FAFSA right? Like it would be cool if you guys just got super rich but I did really like my free cash. So just stay poor for awhile longer... till I get out of college.

Peace, and Love fam. and friends
