Elder Connolly letter #28

Yo FAMMMILLLIAAAA!

 

Qué Arrriba?? Whats up?  Hows the snowww??  Well cooool, enjoy it!  I wish it were here...

 

Things are good.  Lifes busy, but I am getting way more comfortable with everything--physically,  I'm not so well. I'm tired ALOT, wow.  I don't think I'll ever be at 100% my whole mission, but somehow I always have enough energy to get me through the day. I am at 80 kilos, have a HUGE tan line, 5 o'clock shadow, a pop belly, and....tired alot.  But I am also learning alot, spiritually and emotionally.  I've grown a lot these past 6 months in Mexico, I hit my 8 month mark this past week-- crazyyyy, didn't realize until last night while talking with the other secretaries. Time is flyin!

 

The area.  We hope to have a baptism next Friday, his name is Jose Romero and  he is so awesome.  He' s the guy that has his shirt off in the picture of him and me with the guitar.  He's so ready.  I taught him to tie a tie, he went a bought one because he didn't have any and he felt awkward a church cause he didn't have one!  I would have given him one! haha.  He has a crazy story in life—I'll have to make a voice recording about him cause it may take a while to tell it all by typing it all out but we hope to talk to his family and wife-- we haven't really met them yet, it's just him so far.   They kind of avoid us, but its chill. He's super awesome.

 

pause: I just got a call from an elder, and at the end of the call, he told me my spanish is a LOT better than when I got here! yahoo!! unpause.

 

OK  Gaspar is doing well- he´ll have his 3rd time in the church this week and could be baptized this week too, we´ll see. And the Canul Family will be seeing the font sometime soon, I hope.

 

Also,  we had some cool new investigators this week, Eduardo and Hermano Estudío and a bunch of little kids, ages 9-14, that take a karate class at the ward!  Ha!  so I am stoked for them.

 

Well I am actually outtie.  We need to go eat at the bishops house at 2.  P day was cut wayyy short today, we had to go to a baptism in the morning and now with this, we´re leavin the offices early to get some more appointments in. I might write again on Monday, we´re cramped today. laterrrr
