Bax ku Yuchu!!
another week
goes by here in campeche Mexico and boy can i say time does fly by
really fast here. sorry for not having time to email last week i only
had time to email my president but here i am! these weeks have been such
big short weeks, but i hope i can fit it all in this little time. last
week we had training meetings like all week, so we literally stayed in
the city of campeche all week with the other elders in campeche. elder
duke and elder tousa, my old companion from the MTC. yeah it was a great
week. i also went on exchanges with elder tousa. since we were in
campeche, we did a lot of stuff with the other elders, we had an English
class last Friday for the people who wanted to learn English. like
last Wednesday i think it was, we had a huge rain storm, where all the
streets were like rivers, literally up to our knees and in some parts up
to our waists. ill send some pics. they say it rains a ton in the summer
in like July, August and ends in September, and will happen all week.
so i think i will need new shoes by the end of this rain season. jaja.
but its a good thing i love the rain!! other than baptisms its the only
time we can swim! jaja.
last
Sunday, i met the bishop of campeche and his family in pueblos nuevo
and they are such awesome people. and actually right before we came here
to this cyber Internet place, we were walking over here and the bishops
runs out of his house and calls my name, and my companion and i look
back and its bishop, so we said hello to him. he then invited us in to
meet his other part of his family and introduces me to his niece who is
leaving on her mission today to Brazil. and another cool thing was that
she talks English because she was at BYU for 2 years, but it was weird
talking in English! just prepping myself for next week
oh
yeah when i went on exchanges with elder tousa, we contacted a loto f
people. we also contacted this one guy, was on his roof, so we literally
had a lesson on a roof. and that was pretty cool.
another
experiences that happened this week are pretty funny and interesting
actually, and its how i contacted my last 2 people. the first one was on
a bus to hopelchen, and my comp and i we sitting in the front seats of
the bus, and we were sitting there and all of a sudden the song 'Im a
Barbie Girl' came on his radio, and I'm not going to lie, it was on my
ipod before the mission, but i starting mouth syncing the word to my
comp and acting like i was barbie, and the bus driver glanced at us
through the mirror and started laughing, and i saw him and thought oh
geez, but it was pretty funny, you just had to be there, it was one of
the 'Baily moments'. but he asked me if i knew what it was saying and of
course i said yes and that's where the conversation began! another one
was we were in the bus stop waiting for the bus, and there were these 2
drunk guys that had this big plastic bottle of alcohol. and so i started
talking to them, and got to the topic on drinking, and i talked to them
of the reasons why they drink and of course the word of wisdom. we
always hand them pamphlets, but they weren't really responsive, so i
thought the best idea was to eliminate the problem so i tried to get
them to get rid of the alcohol themselves when i took the bottle and
told them that the bottle was expired and had a bunch of nasty stuff in
it, but that dint work when he took another drink. so after that i
asked them if that was the bus in the distance, and they both looked the
other way and i took the bottle that was sitting down next to me and i
chucked it really fast across my companions face out the window of the
bus stop, then when they looked back, i focused the conversation in
there families and tried to get to know them more whenever they asked
where the bottle was, one of them thought it was in the backpack of his
friend, but my comp told him that he already drank it all and they
forgot all about it. but over all i got there names and address. jaja.
to
end we also have this girl in our branch named sandra and this week
here baby was sick and had a really high temperature, and after we
taught a lesson to her dad she asked us for a blessing, but this Sunday
she bore her testimony about this experience, and she said her baby has
been really sick and she couldn't sleep and she was scared and she prayed
for direction in her life and for comfort, and after she did that she
looked out side and saw us missionaries teaching her dad right outside
her house, she said it was a miracle and a blessing to have an answer in
her prayers just like that. after the blessing her baby got better and
she felt the love and comfort from our father in heaven. i love moments
like that, its amazing how the lord will put us wherever we need to be
in the exact time we need to be. amo mi padre celestial con todo mi
corazon, y estoy muy agradecido ser miembro y un misionero de la iglesia
de jesucrist de los santos de los ultimas dias. se que nuestro padre
celestial nos ama, cada uno de nosotros y el quiere lo mejor para
nosotros, y el nos guiara solo si lo buscamos! amo este evangelio con
todo mi corazon, y se que aqui es donde necesito estar. l
