Dad, did you catch General Sherman up fishin´? And how did the gir's trip finish up? haha I have to comment on the pic you sent me, the gum wall was just hilarious! Who knows what goes down on the girls trip (beignet and babaganoush??), but I am sure it's just a blast ;) ! You´re all such great sisters and moms, I love you all!
Well so this week was great. I can finally say that I am excited to leave the offices. Did I really say that? Thought I never would. I'm gonna love being a normal missionary again! We´ll see where I go! I thinkin' this time I'll be outside of Merida, but who knows! But what I'm not excited about is leaving my area, here in Aeropuerto. It always seems to happen to me ha, but right when I have to leave, the work starts the roll again. We had a miracle this week, we have this sister and 2 kids that we are teaching and they are prepared more than ever! We are taking them to a baptism today at 5 so they can see how it is and get excited for theirs. The kids names are Fernando(13) and Natalie (9)! haha I love it when there are names from my family members! It makes it easier to remember them ;) Go Nat! The siste'rs name is Cristina, and they are just awesome. I am excited to work with them. Also we visited a reference that I got like 3 months ago again, but this time they were home, and now we are teaching Isabel (19) and Mary (21). Also we have Juan and his wife, who don't really make the move to go to church, but are great. Jonni keeps going to church, we visited him this week, and we may have found his need. We´re planning our class tomorrow in the 2nd hour of church around Joni and Cristina. It´ll be great!
The offices are going good, and we got some fun activities coming up, including our barbeque with Pres. and his wife at their house and our "How to mark and study the scriptures class, Part II" with President Salinas coming up, before I bounce and leave the office. I am slowly getting things packed up and organized. Got all my pictures and videos saved to my hard drive and DVDs so I will leave the offices with empty everything so I can fill up the cards with Year 2 pics and memories. Some big things that are going on is that we are going to be moving out of the offices! For me, it won't effect anything, just the 2 weeks I have left here. The Area General Authorities sent out a letter to all the missions in Mexico and now missionaries can't live in the offices. It's crazy how much things have changed these past 8 months. So we´re out house searching while we work out in our area. If you happen to know anyone with a house rental, let me know ;)
So what else? Well I found out from experience that I am allergic to Amoxicillin ? (spelling?) . It wasn't on my papers stating that I have allergies to anything, so I got sick, we went to the hospital, they gave me amoxicillin and I broke out with crazy hives for 4 days! (but it did cure me ok) hahaha it was a memory. I am better know, but it was a scratch-myself-silly few days. and you don't wanna know how difficult it is to sleep in a hammack with hives! DONT MOVE! haha
Well I hear Fictionist is coming out with something soon! And I also heard that the 60 minute foot rub was spectacular~ can I order one of those for next P-day? And also that the Beach Boys still have their groove, even after 50 years! FUN, FUN, FUN! Happy birthday to Sarah Spencer, Big H Connolly (who I haven't met yet) and Dave Connolly these past few weeks! Happy Birthday to America too, go 4th of July! Yes, we did celebrate it here, we ordered our 6 Dollar Burgers from Carls Jr. with some waffle fries and a Coke...oh wait we can't drink Coke in the mission... well with juice ;) . I remember last year when we watched the fireworks out in the parking lot of the MTC from the Stadium of Fire 2011, and here comes the repeat of the holidays in year 2! American Pride! Thanks for the e-card. and Todd I got your letter here already, your such a stud bro! I wanna hear about your jew-fro dunkin´ basketballs this next season alright? I'll hit you up with the pen and pad later. Also to all, I would recommend using the PO box Pouch service to send letters, they get here by Fedex every week, and its alot quicker and cheaper! It's Mexico Merida Mission, POB 30150, SLC, UT 84130-0150 POUCH .
Well I love you all, I amm outtie. Thanks for all your prayers and support! Later,
elder connolly
