Another Amazing Week

Ba'ax ka wa'alik (whats up)! I'm still trying my best to learn some maya and Spanish at the same time! there are these members in our branch that we went to this week, and as we were all talking, they started talking in maya to each other, so i was like woah woah woah, hey no maya because that is soo not fair! (but in Spanish) and they laughed and kept going and trying to talk to us in maya, so we twisted things around and talked to them in English! yep thats tekax, it was pretty funny. they are teaching us some maya every time we go over there for lunch! this week was an amazing week , and i know i say that every week because they always are, but i loved this week because Monday we had the opportunity to go to the temple at like 4am Tuesday morning!  and i thought English was confusing, Nope! it took me a while to figure out that the session would be in Spanish. i understood most of it, and it was soo beautiful! Monday night when we arrived in merida, we went to this restaurant in merida that almost every missionary knows of, but since it was out pday we ate there and it was the best food we had in a while! this week we have been trying a lot to contact the less active members and we obtained a big list of members so this week. i have been getting a lot better with a machete because we did service one morning and chopped a bunch of plants and tall weeks at the casa de la familia basto cab. Jose their son said that i was a natural! good thing i practice a lot playing with my brothers machete before the mission. this week we met this boy named Amilkcae who had only 15 years. he is such a pretty cool guy and he accepted a book of Mormon, and he wanted us to come back for another lesson. also there is this little boy named leonardo who has about 11 years, and he has been coming to church a lot and reading the book of Mormon and he told us that he wants to get baptized, we are still working with his mom and she inst very interested, he has his aunt who is a member and we want him to have family in the church that will help him to stay active. he is such a great kid, we are like best buds. he wanted to get his own quad of scriptures so we are helping him with that. this week, and amazing young man who is so close to all of us missionaries and he came to a lot of meetings and appts with us, he left on his mission this morning to the Mexican state below California that right this very moment i can not remember the name, let me ask my companion......okay he doesn't remember the name either but he thinks it started with a T. hay esta! he gave his little farewell talk at the noche de hogar (FHE) Friday and it was amazing, he is going to make such an amazing missionary! i love our branch president here, he is such an awesome guy. hilarious too. he told me that is i return to tekax after my mission that i can stay at his house and live with him! that's a long ways, but mom start looking for plane tickets because i heard they are cheaper the more in advance you get them. jajaja. well that was pretty much my week! estoy muy agredido que puedo servir un misión aquí en tekax! yo se que esta iglesia es verdadera y que dios tiene un plan por cada uno de nosotros y yo se que supone que debe estar aqui en esta parte de mi vida! amo a todos ustedes, nos vemos! BUENAS!!!

Mucho Amor
