Pix from Mexico!







So I just turned 5 months yesterday. Time is a really weird thing in the mission. Ha especially if your not on it. I look at other people and think they have so much time, like Joey, He´s got almost 11 months. But than again the work is what can make the time move. When your working hard all the time the weeks go by like nothing, also having success helps a little bit, but you cant always control that. WE havent had a whole lotta luck finding people these last two weeks. Knockin a lot of doors, but we´ll just keep knockin. It can be a lil frustratin, tiring tambien, but you gotta do what you gotta do. If your not workin your not gonna have success, and if you are, well you still might not, but theres the possibilty that your gonna find someone, that there are gonna want to listen. And you take that hope, which is before faith, and you work. Faith also is necessary with hope, so you just keep knocking. Than when the Lord says so, and he lends you his hand, you find them. So we´ll just keep tryin to find people. The recent converts are coming on just great tho. Israel and Alberto both have the priesthood now!, and Erika is already the second counselour for primary! thats awesome. Its so great to watch people grow. Its startin to get some kinda hot here, and people are still saying that this is nothing. Ha So i figure im gonna pound my face with food for a month, kind of like an opposite hibernation, maybe put on 10 pounds because im prolly gonna lose 30 during the 125 degree weather in the summer. And yea, it gets 125. they even say 130. YEA! cant wait haha.. but i´ll try and enjoy this ¨cool¨ weather right now. I hope everything is going well for everybody, that my momma b is gonna get healthy, that Bree is doing great in the MTC! (Still crazy she´s there) Hey mommy, yea i have been kinda tryin to describe that this mission isnt really anything like stevens or brandons or [mr. r's], but im still trying to do everything i can. Its kinda cool, because i get two hours of personal study, and i can study a lot of diff things. right now im in 2 nephi in english, and jacob in spanish, In 1 timothy in the new testament and in exodus in the old testament, and in 503 in Jesus the Christ. So yea i have learned to love the scriptures. But a lot of people think that when the new prez comes, that a good amount of elders will leave. They said its happened in other missions here, but its whatever is in the eyes of the lord, I like my prez now but theres not a lot of respect for him. And you can tell he is tired. So i look forward to the new prez. But im doing fine, im just doing what i can, i can always always do better follow every rule more exact, but thats why i keep trying. K i love you ll have a great week!
