Week 101 - 6/3/13
Well not super motivated to write, I mean I suppose I can
tell you about it all soon... but I’ll do my best.
So in the week we went on exchanges with other elders in the
zone and it was funny. We offered to
help an older lady with her bag of nopales... not sure what it is in English. The bag was super heavy! I was dying, but I
had to keep my face straight. Good thing her house wasn’t too far or I wouldn’t
have made it. I have no idea how she
carried that and a baby at the same time.
Lost some pride and man points on that one haha.
Satuday. TEMPLE. I went to the temple with Elder M to be there
for the sealing of Felix and his wife.
It was cool. It was funny. We
rented a bus to get there, and they put on a really violent movie... Hmmm great
way to prepare you for the temple. really...
We got there, we ate, and went to the sealing and then we did a session.
It was good. I haven’t gone in 2 years so pretty good. The temple in Mexico City is very
beautiful. Got back at like 10:30 didn't
get to sleep until 11:10. Had to wake up
nice and early to get to my area and go to church.
Love you all

Week 100 - 5/27/13
Wednesday. We had
interviews with President. My interview
was literally: Hey so we are going to
have an interview in 3 weeks and I’m a bit behind so think of some goals that
you have for after the mission. That was
it. haha.
Friday. We spent all
day getting things really for the baptism.
Saturday. We had an
awesome baptism. Six people in the ward
got baptized. You should see the
pictures. Pres. Reeves came and it was
very cool. Lots of people in white. The
stake president was pretty excited as well.
We saved the zone goal for baptisms.
Sunday. Well we went
to church. That was good. It took up about the whole sacrament meeting
to do the confirmations. We went to the primary because Guillermo, the kid who
was baptized, didn’t want to go to his class so we went with him. That was fun, we did the wise man built his
house upon the rock. Then right after
one kid was like haha, his house fell down. I think Becca would have thought
that was funny. Then we did a few visits.
Today. We went to Cholula.
That’s where big pyramid is with the big Catholic church on top, but we
just went to buy stuff. Pretty exciting.
Yeah so my email is pretty lame. I really don’t remember much from the
week. Mostly preparing the people for
their baptisms. It rained a lot this
week. Glad I’m not going to be hanging
around for the rainy season.
Ok Love you all

Week 99 - 5/20/13
It was my companion’s
birthday so on Monday I had to send secret messages to my bishop. And then in the morning I had to make a few
phone calls while he was in the shower. Anyways we went to the bishop’s son’s
house to teach his brother in law... who is 8 years old. Funny little kid. We started teaching him and we asked him who
he thought God was. He said he is an old
man who has a white beard and keeps lightning bolts on his back to throw down
to earth. Almost, that’s Zeus. Then
after, they had a cake prepared for him.
Then at night we ate pizza.
Wednesday. I did exchanges with another elder in my
area. Actually pretty slow day.
Thursday. We went to
another area to do weekly planning with them.
We had a couple lessons in the afternoon.
Friday. We taught Guillermo
again. He understood a lot more this
time. While we were walking to the church a man stop me and said you look
exactly like John F Kennedy.
Exactly. I was like ok... and
then I tried contacting him and then he really didn’t have much desire to talk
to us. At night we had the baptism of
Margarita. It was good, other that the
fact like 5 members of the ward showed up.
Saturday. We went to
get some investigators married in some small town where the bishop is the government
guy there, not sure what the official title is.
He marries people really cheap for the missionaries. Then we went to my companion’s old area so he
could baptize one of his old investigators.
Sunday. Church. Later in the afternoon we had a baptism of an
8 year old of a family that we reactivated.
Good stuff. This next weekend if
everything goes good on the 25th we should have 6 more baptisms. See what
happens. As far as the sealing it was
pushed back until like the 1 of June or something like that.
Monday. Zone
activity. We played soccer, but for only
an hour so it wasn’t so bad. Then we ate
pizza. Right after that Elder de la Rosa
and his wife invited us to eat with them.
And while I was there he wanted me to take a look at his computer.
Haha. Yeah so that’s why we are writing
kind of late... We didn’t have time to
clean the house.
3 weeks to go haha.
Love you all
