Bash ONda Fam!
Wow! It was a great week this week, I absolutely loved it. This is what the work is all about.
To start with, my companion-- he's pretty tight. He is in my generation, got here the same day as I did, So we are both way young-- we´re gonna learn alot together I think. I knew it was gonna be good when he said, ¨Im gonna correct everything you say. Your gonna be fluent after me.¨ DOWN. It's actually great to have a Mexican comp again-- I loved having gringos, but its sooo easy to get off track and lose the spirit. It helps that he doesn't like the music I like, know the worldly things I do, or knows the streets of SLC! haha. This transfer is going to be great. We set a very high goal for baptisms-- not gonna tell it to jinx it haha, but we´re gonna work our hardest. We get along great, the only thing is that he´s suuupperrr.....organized... which is good, but toooo much. We spent 700 pesos on cleaning supplies last week! We actually make our food now in the morning!... and I even iron my shirts now!!!!.... haha. and it takes him like a whole hour to get ready in the morning... they say the mission is a good marriage prep training.... I am learning patience haha. but no reall--, he is good.
So funny story: I was reading Preach my Gospel on the toilet--I always receive the best personal revelation on the toilet, and a mouse ran into the bathroom and I broke my pants.... it was funny. And we finally bought a 27 peso water heater...about $2 dollars haha. I have used it once, but now I actually prefer the cold water. It is freeezing but I like it. I´ve also been listening to the NEW music I've been getting, the Lower Lights is Sarah Sample! No joke, I thought I recognized her voice and I opened up the flap and there was her name and face, how cool!? And AnderFam, wow, thank you soo much, I still haven't gotten through all the CD´s-- I love them! Gracias por todo! And I did write letter to Jesus this year, 2011, as tradition. but it's in Spanish. sooo yeah, it was a good week!
Some stuff I need: sooo our motto is KIA KAHA this month, my comp and I both saw the movie ¨Forever Strong¨ and the first night when I gave him a shirt to sleep in and it was highland rugby, it was just made to be to pick that as our motto. Of course it means ¨forever strong¨ in Tongan or whatev, but did you know that it means ¨baptise millions¨ in chinese???...well it does.. ;) Anyways, I was wondering if someone can send me the lyrics to the chant. It's a simple google search, copy and paste. Unfortunately I can't do that... thanks!
So the work went amazing this week. We have a full week of appointment this week already as well! The Lord is blessing us. Cool story, really quick, I gotta go, but so yesterday, we go to church at 12 noon now, and we left our house at 9:30 to pass for 13 people!!!!! Welll..... none were home when we passed... it was a bummer ha. But happens a lot. Anyways, we go to church, 1 came with her son-- MAry, so 1. another came with her grandma, someone we we´re expecting, and then after the sacrament, José walked in! I was sooo happy-- I ran over to him, he told me ¨I told you I was coming. I keep my word.¨ What was a greeeaat anticipated day, that looked bad for a minute and, then ended up having 3, It was sooo great. And the sacrament meeting and talks was one of the most spiritual meeting I have been in. Mary´s son got up and gave a talk and Mary starting crying and our other unexpected investigator was crying. I think it was the most powerful sacrament meeting I have been to in Mexico-- and Jose was there too. It was greatttt.
Well fam, I gotta go, love you all!
