Yello Fam,
Gonna start with Q´s:
1. Do you get the Dear Elders just as fast as doing the pouch?
yeah, its super fast, like less than a week, i recieve them here wednesday or thursday and they are sent monday. this is usually! one time i got one like 3 months late, but i think there was problem. only 1 time, just a fluck ha
2. DID YOU GET OUR PACKAGE??????
Nope, i went yesterday. maybe it´ll be there next week!
3. Did you find an apartment for the last 2 weeks?
Yep! its awesome. really small but semi new. its perfect. should be able to keep clean and stuff with the very minimal time we will be there in the day. we´re moving in on Monday. i went to the temple store this week and bought 13 huge pictures of Christ and the prophets and stuff and book of mormon stuff to put on the walls. it was only $12 each one, so i bought 1 of each ha. its like the 14 by 18 inch ones. i love them. it´ll be a cozy little home ;) ill send pics next week
4. What are the total dates you served in the office?
i got here at the very begining of febuary. until now. so like almost 6 months, or just 4 transfers.
Well this week was just a super busy one. We found a house! which is great. elder Amador got sent off to another area, so now its just Elder Gibbs and I, just 2. Which is great and alot of fun. we went to the airport 3 different times this week: 2 times to drop off and 1 time to pick up a returning elder. that means, i woke up at 4am 2 of the days this week (including today... my P-day), which also means im tired ha. ahhhhh. but its chilllllll. well today i was in chucking mood. its something i need to develop more, my ability to avoid HORDING (spelling?) and just throw junk away! alot of these things might be cool to keep as a memory, but im kinda getting sick of them. so i chucked stuff ha. always feels good.
we had one of those lessons that just builds your testimony more than other and comfirm that you are doing your job as a missionary and you just being led to those chosen children of God that the Lord is preparing and has prepared. What a blessing. Its unreal to see conversions like this, ive only had a few in my mission. So i dont know if i told you about Isabel, an investigator we have. Yesterday was our last lesson with her. we didnt leave her, shes moving to Tabasco, the neighboring state. Its a blessing, she cant get baptized while living at her house with her parents, shes going there to study and living with her Aunt, her parents wont let her get baptized here. But she bore a testimony like she was already baptized. im bummed shes leaving, but i know she´ll be baptized over there. we´re gonna hand her off to the elders over there in a reference. I have her info and a young single adult from our ward is gonna keep in contact with her. I have also gained a huge testimony of members and the power that they have in the mission work. If you have missionaries in your ward or stake, do divisions with them! Help them out. its so rewarding. this recent convert sister of about 7 months has been coming to the lessons with us to Isabel and it was the combined effort of her testimony, the message that we had the opurtunity to share and the spirit that testified to her that this is all true. I can see isabel being a missionary someday. im so stoked! i love it.
Cristina is just a golden investigator, for real. there is no doubt about it. I dont know how i got so lucky to know these people. I dont think ill be here for her baptism and her 2 kids, but its okay. Gibbs will take some pics and send them onto me. thats good enough, and ill see her when i come back and visit in a few years. Aside from being a really busy week, we had some of the best times yet. For example, we have a rule that says we cant enter a house if there is not a person with the same gender as us and if so, they have to have 18 years old or more. With Cristina, its a problem, because shes a single mom. we set out chairs outside the front door and they sit inside and we teach through the front door, in rain or shine. On wednesday, she pulls out a lona ( i think its tarp in english translated but its like to cover a porch) and we spent 30 minutes putting it up, tying it to the roof and over the obscure arichture of her house to make it work so we wouldnt get wet in this season of many rains. just a privelige to work with prepared people like this. too sweeeeet
Well i cant think of anything else specifically, and we´re about to bounce, we are off to site see around Merida for the rest of the day with the Assistants. Im outtie, i love you all! enjoy the pics, laterrrr
elder C
PS: Cool fact, so we just found out something cool. the number #2 uni-cyclist in the country just got his mission call to Merida and will be coming here in September ha. Dope huh? i guess he had his article in the deseret news or something. maybe he´ll teach me a few tricks. dont think id be too rusty yet from my uni-cycling days ;) haha. laterrr
