Hey Mom!

So Im sorry I wont be able to write much, a lot´s been going on down here and I don´t have much time today.

So the changes have passed over our heads like the destroying angel. Our whole district will be staying the same (for at least 3 more weeks).
We had a baptism on saturday! We´ve been working with an awesome family so that their youngest son could get baptised. It was really super cool because his older brother was the one who got to baptise him! The boys name is Alan and his brother is Edgar.

I Love You a Lot!

Hey, just to let you know that today i´m going to make a withdrawel from my bank acount. I´ve recently had to spend a lot of extra cash and i´m broke 🤗
So as for a package, if you could send me money that would be great. and the other camera too! 

Thanks mom!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm constantly reminded that Trump won down here by all the mexicans. They're all worried because they all have family living illegally in the states. They cant believe how racist he is for trying to get rid of them all. Every day that's all i hear from them. I've gotten pretty sick of politics and i'm not even participating!  Only among our fellow american missionaries is it safe to admit that we're fans.

My companion´s doing well. He´s still lazy when it comes to getting up and excersizing in the mornings, but he´s been improving non his studying. President Owen gave me a few ideas in our interviews last week that seem to be working.

We´ve been teaching a lot of people lately and our zone is #1 on the charts. We even had a baptism this weekend! The branch just got changed to a ward and the members here are pretty great and supportive. The youth are pretty open to doing visits with us too! We don´t do many service project, maybe 1 a month. But when we do it usually includes yard work, digging, or cleaning something.

Just yesterday the bishop invited us over for dinner. He also challenged me to a game of chess in which the loser would have to find and prepare a family for baptism within the next month and a half (1 transfer). I agreed and I lost. It was a very close match, but at the end I made a fatal error and the game was his. I guess I´m a bit rusty. But now we´ll be looking extra hard to find ¨Golden Families¨

Remember to ´Count your many blessings!´
