| Wallet Kelson got from his Great Grandpa Spencer after he died (his mother's grandfather) Grandpa Spencer got this wallet many years ago on a trip to Mexico. Kelson didn't even ask for this. He asked for other things, but this just showed up. Grandpa telling him something? |
Things are just going so great here in
Jardines! I love this area, there is so much work to do here. Thank you
all so much for your love and support, it always means so much to get
such wonderful emails from you all!
This week
was our first week in our new ward (because last week was general
conference), and it was great! We have a really great ward and some
really good leaders. We are excited to start getting everyone pumped to
do missionary work with us!
This week we have
just been contacting SO many old investigators, new contacts, and Less
Active members. It has been so crazy, I really don't think I've ever
walked so much in my life! My foot is really being a trooper, it's
awesome. It gets to where it is a little sore at the end of the day
sometimes but other than that it is great and I can tell it's getting a
lot stronger! My left leg looks pretty much normal now, you can't even
see a difference! Haha I still remember looking at my own leg and it was
like half the size of the the other and it was so weird...haha!

| Kelson's fixes the laundry sink in their new place. With the new white pipes, the water goes into the side with the drain! |
So
our house is great and actually pretty nice, it's just a little small
and we didn't have a real good place to wash our dishes I really don't
know what the other Elders did but I'm super stoked about what we did.
So right by our door to leave the house there is a little cement sink
thing for washing laundry, the problem is next to the big sink thing
there is a little one without a drain, so all the water would just fill
up in there and just sit...forever...and Mexican water isn't pretty when
it sits. So what I did is I bought some little pipes from this little
tienda (store) on the corner right by our street and made a sweet pipe to
redirect the water over the sink! It's something so small and silly but I
really do miss this kinda thing especially mechanics, whenever I walk
by a mechanics shop I just wanna just jump in and work with
them...someday I'm gonna teach a mechanic so I can work with him in his
shop while I teach him XD I'll attach a picture of my beautiful
plumbing.
Another really cool thing this week
is I found in my suitcase a Wallet that I inherited from my
Great-Grandpa Spencer after he died a few years ago. I don't know how I
got the wallet, it was assigned to me from a few of his things as
memories we could have of him...the crazy thing is the Wallet is a
leather wallet from Mexico! It is beautiful, not a cheap wallet, and I
just found it! I remember packing it thinking it was cool but I had
forgotten how significant it was. I carry it on my now wherever I go and
it is a great reminder that I'm not alone and I have a lot of great
legacies to live up to of brothers, parents, and other family members
and friends.
I have always known I was going to
go to Mexico on my mission, I just never told anyone because in case I
didn't go and I went to Orem, UT or something, I didn't want people to
feel bad for me hahaha! But I don't think it's a coincidence that this
wallet fell into my hands. Parents do you know if he visited here or
something? Maybe you could do some digging and let me know :)
Well things are super great I'm loving life and learning lots and....
I
COMPLETED FIVE MONTHS IN THE MISSION! Whenever I tell people I have 5
months they first say, "WOW, you speak really good Spanish!" then they
make fun of my because I just started and I'm never gonna go home haha
but these have been the busiest and fastest 5 months ever, it's pretty
crazy.
Love you all so much, hope you are all happy and healthy :)
