You gotta know the bad to appreciate the good...
We have had some good
stuff happen here. Tons of people I have taught from old areas are getting
baptized, so that's awesome.
Here in the next week or so we will be having a baptism for a black man from Haiti. He comes to the Spanish branch because he knows Spanish and French but not English. He is really awesome guy.
I have been learning a lot of patience with my new companion; he is a good person but a hard companion at least for me. The transfer is already half over though and then he goes home. Plus we have been going on exchanges so I have time to get away. We live in an apartment with 4 missionaries and I am the only one that doesn't like Star Trek and world of war craft etc...it's a different world for sure. But, you gotta know the bad to appreciate the good.
Our area is doing awesome though. The family in the picture is way cool though. We went over there and they would never answer. I knew there was non-members in the house so we kept calling and going over. Finally we caught the mom outside cleaning her car one day and just got talking. I asked her if she had ever tried a root beer float before and she said no (they don't really sell root beer in Mexico). Anyways I convinced her to let us come back and make root beer floats with her kids. It was delicious and we ended up having a great lesson.
The son is a member and wants to pass the sacrament and the little girl asked us to baptize her. It great; I call it the root beer float miracle.
I am reading the New Testament now because I finished the Book of Mormon
last week. Turns out that book is true too!

Basically in Mexico
We
had a good week. I am basically in Mexico now, most days we don't even
speak English. It's also an all bike area. It's pretty fun and we have some
cool investigators. I have been memorizing the living Christ, it
is helping me a lot to stay focused.
I did
my laundry this morning and somehow a red crayon got in there. When we pulled
ALL of my white shirts and my garments out of the dryer, everything
was tie die. I spent all morning with a scrub brush and bleach, which helped quite a bit actually. I am going
to keep scrubbing tonight when I get
home. It was pretty rough.
We both got flat tires
this week and it rained so hard that we would've been dryer jumping in a pool.
That makes me so sad
to hear about bishop. I really love him.
I hope he gets
better.
love y'all
