renacimiento en el agua‏

well, sometimes i wonder if i will ever run out of stuff to write you guys... then i remember that im in a city that has over 40 million crazy little mexicans and like a couple hundred white misioneros like me... of course ill never run of out of cool stuff, this place is too crazy for that to happen!!! 

       so, this last week was really crazy, mexicans really love their holidys, like really really really love there holidays!!!  the entire country basically took the entire last two weeks off for spring break, and i mean everyone, not just those dumb kids in high school lol!!!  its been hard, theres like nobody here or if they are here its cuz theyre hosting all there family and they dont have time for a couple of dumb 19 year old kids lugging around scriptures and preaching the word... oh well, if they cant make time for god thats good that i havnt taught them, greater knowledge means greater condemnation ;)

        so many drunk dudes, so many, hahahaha alcahol basically is like the english switch for mexicans, andthey only wanna talk in english... lol, so obviously theyre attracted to the huge white boy walking down the street, ive had some incredible conversations... like, so funny, ill never forget em!!!

        i had my first babtism yesterday, it really is amazing how god works, when i first got here my zone lider said that i shouldnt focus on looking for people to teach, but that the ones god has prepared will just come to us... ha, the last thing i was expecting when i decided to knock the last door on the street that had a statue of the virgen bigger then me in the front was that hermana guadalupe whose worked with mormons all her life, whose listened to missionaries before and then moved and lost contact with them would answer the door and tell us she wanted to get babtized... but it happened,  and for that i am so grateful, god works in strange ways sometimes, but all we got to do is open our eyes to see the miracles that he leaves in his wake...  being an instrument in the hands of god really is a miracle, because i tell you, i wouldnt have knocked on that door without the big man helping me out!!!

       we have transfers tommrrow, im grateful for everything elder sumano has taught me,  were super different, but at the end of the day i think thats why we were put together, because without that difference i wouldnt have learned nearly as much!!!  haha, tommorrow should be exciting, everybody wish me luck!!!!  

        oh everybody go read your scriptures, it will be cool, i promise.  threw in some pics for yall, figiured yall would enjoy some eyecandy in the form of elder hicks lol, be good everyone, have a good week,

i love you.
