mexico ganó... no manchies.‏

 hows everyone doing this week?? haha, ya know, sometimes my reports are super freaking crazy... and sometimes, theyre just average.... and then, there are weeks like today, where theyre just flat out boring.  hahaha its fine tho, like, stuff happens.... hahha, so we got a new load of elders in this week, which means we had a butt ton of office work get at us, yah, that means this week was pretty uneventful on the teaching side of things because we were busy keeping the mexico city east mission running, but oh well, serving is serving, and right now were serving the mission as hard as we can..

     we also had transfers, elder lee took off, hes only got six weeks left in his mission, im glad that president is letting him finish it off in the field, he deserves it considering how hard he worked here in the offices to keep things running nice and smoothly!!!  so now its just me and gagon that poor alta alumni and i riding solo dolo baby!!! hahaha, im so grateful to be comps with gagon, i mean, he did go to alta but i always win the smack talk (thanks again kalin) so i mean, im getting over it, and hes just becoming one of my best friends.   Ya have lots of strange comps out here in themission but everyonce in a while you get a comp who just becomes a good friend and thats where we are with that!!!

     we had to leave the mission several times this week, one for us to take a training course and another one to go to migration and make sure everyones visas are clear and out of deportations way!!!  its fun to get out get some fresh air, it also helps that bouth times we went to easily the nicest places in the city, theres poor parts of the city, and theres rich parts... and then there is polonco, ya, we enjoyed it, if i didnt know better i woulda thought we were in beverly hills thats how dope this area is!!!

      something funny, while we were on a visa run mexico was playing camaroon in the world cup, and you wouldnt believe how crazy these fans are, no one was driving and every single tv in sight had hordes of atleast 50 little mexicans wearing their jerseys and screaming their heads off... hahaha so funny, sports bars were packed, the mall was loaded, and every single taco stand, tamale cart and torta shop had a little tiny tv that had way more people watching it then it had in centimeters in perimeter!!! Even the government buildings especially put tvs up for the game  hahahaha, it was fun tho, just be walking down the street and all the of the restraunts just explode in cheering and those annoying soccer horns and all that good stuff!!!  hahaha made my day, we won too, so everyone just seems to be in a good mood, haha hows usa doing by the way?   dont tell my investigators but secretly im still pulling for them.

     this next week we shouldnt be too busy in the offices, im excited to get my but out in the area again teaching and preaching, thats what we came here to do right??? hahaha, oh well, miss all of yall, hope ya had a good week, if your wondering how im doing, jsut know im doing great, happier then ive been in a long time, and its because when you are in the service of your fellow man you truly are in the service of your fellow god!!!
