Ok, so first thing I
wanna say: Dad, your mission capital was "Holy Sunday". I wanna say
that it is lame, but then when I think about mine, "Lime", I take it
back...
This week... hmmm....
I don't like this keyboard, the SHIFT sticks...
Here we go,
Lunes:
P-Day. Yeah. After 6, we went to Carrezales, a neighborhood in our
area, to contact. We found someone who told us that we knocked after he
had been praying for God to show him the correct path. It was pretty
kool, and he was super open to us.
Martes: Last day of March. Not much happened... :P A lot of rejection and failed lessons. But whatever.
Miercoles:
WOW We got into 4 different houses, and met 9 new people. That's
awesome, but most of them aren't going to progress, so yeah. Still!
Most people here are convivientes, which means that they live together,
unmarried. Most of them have like 4 children of varying ages, and simply
don't care about marriage, they find it too much work, and very
unimportant, so it is hard to find people willing to change. Anyways, it
happens sometimes, so we just need to find those people who are ready.
Jueves:
2 new investigators, who are pretty good. :) We had a pretty good day,
and gave Carlos (the guy from Lunes) a fecha for May 2 with his son. A
pretty good day, just not much to report.
Viernes:
Zone conference. Yeah, pretty good day, too. A couple more new
investigators. We invited EVERYBODY to conference. EVERYONE. It was
actually kinda fun to hand an invitation to everyone.
Sábado:
CONFERENCE. I thought I was gonna have to watch it in Spanish, but all
the Gringos were able to watch it in ENGLISH. Yeah, that's right. :) :)
:) :) So yeah, and I really liked Linda K. Burton's talk in the morning.
I also liked all of the Priesthood session. I can't remember what
session was the dude from the 70 who talked about music and dancing, but
that one was great, too. We had 5 investigators go to the sessions.
One of them went to ALL 4 (a girl). She went with her convert friend's
family. She is getting baptized this week, with another of her friends,
Fany.
Domingo:
Another 4 InSac (Investigators in Sacrament meeting). Yeah, pretty
good. I liked the guy who talked fast. His talk was kool, and then
Holland's was AWESOME. I thought about Brady being the brother who is
catching me. (Because the brothers were 11 and 19, and we are 12 and
18...) Yeah. AWESOME talk. Super cool.
Lunes:
P-Day again. :) We played Monopoly with a return missionary. He won,
but I was second place (if that means anything :P) Elder Guevara lost
bad. haha.
So,
let's answer some questions. First, my district. Their names are... I
don't know. I really don't wanna type out all their names... Sorry, Dad.
:P Oh, and Dad, the water is nothing. We get big 3 gallon boxes of
water every month, and I have a filter water bottle that I can use from
the sink water if we run out of the water we recieve. I should have
explained that. Yeah. We have special water bottles with filters, so
don't worry, I stayed hydrated. And, I can't buy my special awesome pens
here, but there are the dumb normal ones, mom. Oh, and the 2 talks that
were spoken by Spanish speakers on Sunday, I watched in Spanish. I
understood them, but it is better in English. It is definitely getting
easier with spanish. I found that I can understand Gringos when they
speak better than I can understand native speakers :p But it is
definitely improving.
Entonces,
gracias a todo por su amor. Estoy agradecido por ustedes. Quiero hablar
en Español para confundir a ustedes. >:) Me gustó la conferencia
general mucho. Fue increíble. Esta semana fue lo mejor hasta ahora, y
puedo sentir sus oraciones. Dios está bendiciendo a mi por ustedes. Por
favor, sigue orando para mi. Los oraciones hacen una diferencia. Dios
escucha a sus oraciones. Sé que eso, por lo menos, es verdadero. Dios me
está ayudando. Dios siempre quiere escucharles. Continúen estando las
personas que pueden estar. Les amo mucho. Tengan una semana fantástica.

Just these 2. Oh, I
forgot to mention. WE ARE COMPANIONSHIP OF THE MONTH!!! For March. And,
I got a kool pin for my tie, so on Saturday, I took a picture of me
looking super super good. I really am El Guapo (the good missionary
version)

Gracias y Les Amo Mucho,
