| With new "Greenie" Companion in their new apartment in a new area. So pretty much "new" is a theme here :) |
How are you all?! This week was FANTASTIC!
So
my companion and I have just been running around like crazy trying to
get to know the area, the members, the investigators, and contacting new
people! It's great! We spent a little time on the phone yesterday just
calling members from the list to go visit, but now we know enough people
and places to get around! Our area is the best. There is a nasty canal
here too, just it doesn't usually have water unless it rains, so I took a
picture of that delightful canal that I have the wonderful opportunity
of crossing every day. #Mexico
Tour of their new apartment
Church yesterday
was great, the ward was happy to see us and we had a pretty good turn
out. There are two other Elders in our ward, Elder Maluia from Utah and
Elder Perez from Campeche, Mexico. Two Elders in my district have been
really really sick so we have been running around and their comps have
been on divisions working in their two areas and it has just been a wild
experience, but lots of fun!
We got a text
reference last week and we went and found a guy named José! He is a
great guy! He was super excited to listen to us and we put a baptismal
date with him for the 26th of July and he said, "Okay perfect. And what
time will the baptism be?" He said this is his 3rd baptism (the other
two were in other Christian churches)...so we are gonna have to really
work hard to help him understand that it isn't something you just do a
bunch or whenever you have sinned a little, but it's something you just do
once with the right authority and you're good to go if you keep the
promise you're making to be baptized! He couldn't come to church, but we
are gonna go visit him today and see how he is! Pray for him please!
Stinky Canal - Centro & MotoTaxi in the Rain!
So
I realized something...with every new companion I've received I've gone
to a new area...I'm kinda used to starting from nothing but I actually
really like it because I really like the organizational part of the
mission so I'm working on make some good maps we can put on the wall and
also updating the area book, CLEANING THE STINKING HOUSE! Wow, there is
so much stuff here that other missionaries have left! There are over 50
ties. I feel like I'm in DI when I walk through the closet, and no,
that wasn't a typo, I literally have to walk through the closet to get
to the bedroom. #Mexico

But the coolest thing I
found in the house was a RUGBY BALL the other Elder left when he went
home! It was under the stove....so not sure if it was intentional or
what, but I'm stoked. Just need to pump it up!
Today
for P-day I went with the Zone Leaders, the Secretaries, and two
sisters in my district to the Centro to buy a ukulele. I am super duper
stoked, I have always wanted one of these! Our Zone Leader, Elder Hicks,
also bought one and his companion already had one, so I think we are
gonna start a ukulele band and get famous. Oh! And Elder Maluia who was
born in Somoa also has one, so there ya go! The centro is SO cool, I
took some more pictures! The main road where everyone walks is the
mission boundaries, so we see other missionaries from the West mission
that are on that side and that's the only part where we can both meet
haha but we saw a few from the West mission!
We
had to come back RUNNING from the Centro because it starting raining
and we took a long time picking Ukuleles so my companion and I took a
MotoTaxi, it was nuts. It's a motor cycle with a little carriage on the
back. It's like a BiciTaxi but with a motorcycle. I don't know WHY we
don't have those in the states. Someone get on that!
Well I love you guys hope you all have a GREAT week and I look forward to hearing from you all soon! The church is true!
