se renta departamento‏

sometimes mexico surprises me, like why is everything so cheap?  i dont get it... its not fair... like i can buy a huge box of oreos here for like a buck fifty... or like a custom suit for like 60 bucks... or like how i found out this week a 4 room, 2 bathroom (one of ems super luxery the others a little ghetto but hey a toilets a toilet if it flushes its perfect) super big super nice apartement for less then 200 bucks a month... lol, it aint fair man, i dont even understand why you are all still living in utah... quit wasting your money and come to mexico where 5 bucks goes ohhh so far...   just kidding, i just remembered why  the us is soo nice, clean drinking water, i understand what everyones saying... (actuallmente yo entiendo español muy bien, es facil) and everythings so much cleaner... be grateful gringos you dont know what a blessing it is to live in a first world country... although i have to say, its much more of an adventure here where your contstantly battling food sickness and drunk mexicans who were deported from cali and who just wanna talk in "english" hahahahaha i love it here :)

          so tuesday we had changes, well, ididnt have changes and for that im grateful cuz sumano and i do work, but two other companionships in my district had companionships, and both got brand new elders... awww, im not the baby any more, feels good to know that i already made it thorugh my first change which is uspposed to be the hardest, idk, i thought it was pretty dope but some people not as much?  idk, maaybe its just cuz the next ones are supposed to be better, we will see...

          wednesday we had a fantastic day, teaching, not having diarreah (it was only temporary) and all that good missionary stuff :)  hahaha we had an awesome lessons with like 15 people in noche de hogar, i could give you all a dialogue of what went down and why the lesson was so good but it would all be in spanish and you probably dont care anyway!!!  hahahaha 

         thursday, idk why but we kept running into other missionaries... of the jehovas witness, i think they were trying to make us look dumb or something idk, but they did an awful job... like if your gonna try and take a stab at my church atleast make it a good one, elder sumano has taught me way to much and sometimes when people treat you like that its hard to be nice... ha i had to say sorry to the big man upstairs after cuz i kinda just destroyed their religion... i shouldnt do that, and you shouldnt either, respect everyone, im learning it, and nothing teaches you better then a little godly sorrow that i promise you.

         friday was a good day :)  we made this incredible contact that just moved in and was already taking the missionary lessons and has already gone to church and stuff, sometimes its really nice when your investigators are super easy like that!! :)  we also taught the fam, tapia, theyre awesome stil and their ice cream is incredible... hahha

         saturday, well it was odd, we had to go hou8se shopping... the lady who we live with is getting a little toooo friendly with her boyf and pres said enough is enough, so we spent all morning house shopping, it really is awesome how pres just trusts us with this, he didnt even wanna come see the new house were going to rent, just gave us a budget and said go for it, it was so fun... hahha plus our new rentoers are investigators now, for some reason the 20 year old daughter whose never even seen or heard of our church wants to go on a mission so their listening, yeah, its fun... well move pretty soon, ive hired and armyof investigators and members alike with their little tiny mexican trucks (yes their trucks here are super tiny and super mexican too) to help us move soon... its going to be a blast, hahaha i really am loving everyone here, i think theyre starting to get over their fear that im going to eat them, well, some.  hahahhaha we also spent the night cleaning the church while elder sumano gave a babtismal interview, it was a blast, the family that we cleaned with is so awsome, they have this five year old kid named german, im pretty sure hes bigger then me when i was five but idk, and this kid is a lunatic... hahahaha his favorite thing ever???? getting a huge distance been us and running at me full speed and slamming into my leg... im still a lot bigger and physics makes it impossible for hiim soi obviously he gets pancaked but he is determined to knock me over... lol, its really fun actually.

         sunday we had a millino people come to church, it was really fun, except for all the apostasy that was taught, apparently jesus christ litterally had a cup full of all of our sins and he drank it in the garden of gethsemane.. well atleast according to our sunday school president thats what happened... we told bishop, i think hes gonna get fired, oh well hahaha 

well, i love alll of you and i miss all of you but i just want you all to know that im having a blast out here in mexico, so, if your ever worried about me just smile, cuz im probably smiling too, unless im trying to scare all the primary kids then im staring em down.   oh yeah, if anyones got any music that is legal i would love it if you sent me it, its hard to find church usic to work out too, its really starting to frustrate me... oh well, the work will go on, so with that im signing off another fantastic week here in the heart of mejico!!!  

con amor
