gosh let me tell you how nice american houses are compared to ones in mexico! frick! i miss how clean it is there! gosh it seems like its been so long.
anyways. ya my companion is way hes american. this is my second change with him. hes way cool. hes a good guy. i enjoy him. haha. but we talk about america a lot together. gosh i miss american food. the BEST. goodness.
my mission president, president Flores. is a stud. hes strict and chill at the same time. he sets rules and invites us to do them. hes not super forceful. hes been changing a lot of rules around a ton. like one that he changed, is that now we dont go by numbers in the mission. our ultimate goal is just babtisms. but he says the rest is just what we need to do. and its nice cuz your not like obligated to do all these contacts yanno? like before he did that, our leaders were just all a bunch of number freaks. thats all they cared about! it drove me nuts they didnt care about people just numbers. so its nice. it makes me want to work harder too. and plus, not gonna lie, i hate contacting. were doing it. just not as obligatory which gives me the will to do it. haha funny how that works huh? was your mission like that though? did they just care about numbers too? idk it drives me nuts. all these missionaries running around lying about their numbers so they dont get in trouble, while like 5% are actually being honest about it. but thats changing so thats nice.
but ya president Flores is cool. hes funny, and hes way powerful too. hes a psychologist. so he knows how to talk too. but hes way spiritual, and he speaks with a TON of authority. but i really enjoy being around him, and due to the culture hes still pretty laid back but has rules too. but you can joke with him and stuff. i like him a lot.
anyways. for the first time on the mission were able to go to ALL of the conference sessions. i am so excited. earlier we were only allowed to the sunday morning sessions and the rest if we had investigators to go with us. it sucked bigtime. but now were good on that. so its pretty cool. im really happy about that. its not the same though translated, theres just something about the original voice of a person that changes a lot. but its still good so ya.
also that picture that you saw, theyre basically acrobats. they are way cool. they come from around mexico city i think. but they are way cool. definitely an experience. when i get back from the mission ill show you the video i recorded. it was way cool.
anyways. this last week sucked. i was way sick. so it kinda sucked. like three days i just finished being sick yesterday but still feel a little dizzy. but anyways im good now. but this next week we´ll definitely be working a lot harder. im feeling a lot of energy i think were gonna have some new investigators this week for sure.
haha people and putting up store names in which they dont know the meaning... if only they knew
work is going good. trust me ive had my days where ive slacked. but ive learned from it. im not giving up like the rest of them man. its just 2 years to the Lord and thats it. and especially to people who need me yanno?? so im not taking that lightly. ive had my slacker companions and i actually revived one of them im happy to say =) ahhhhhhhh yaaaaaaaa. haha. but its going good. im feeling about it right now. but definitely always room for improvement. my companion is cool right now. hes american.... hes way cool. anyways. time is flying. a little over a year and im home. kinda scary. really scary. but thats ok. just enjoyin myself while i can like you say haha. but anyways. its going good here. im amazed what God does for missionaries. ive seen so many blessings its crazy. i know hes there. i mean even the simple example of the gift of tongues says it. i just turned back around from teaching a few teenagers english in spanish. just that simple example is real. but lovin it. anyways thats pretty much it. i hope everything is going good keep it real. love you and miss you a ton. stay classy my friends. and p.s. the shoes are doing great. i love em.
