December 21, 2015

Hey Family!!!! Well its been a pretty fun week and Pday I must say. Today we have been decorating the church all day for the Christmas conferences and then we went to Costco with President and Sister Nelson and bought 5 carts full of food for the conferences, I'm pretty sure that's my record that I've ever had at Costco and then we went to theri house and had pizza and cake and all that good stuff and then were going back in about 30 minutes to help with some food for tomorrow and then we will sleep the night there which is like the best cause the house is just sweet and a I have a kitchen with anything I can imagine. So its been a good day and it will be a good night.

So this week was one of those pure division after division weeks. We actually were able to do 4 divisions in a row from Tuesday til Friday. President is honestly such a good sport and went on 4 to and that means every night were getting home pretty late and leaving super early in the morning so we can knock on there doors at 8 in the morning. On Tuesday I got to go with a zone leader to Tlaxcallan (the area that I trained my son in like a year ago) it was super fun and fun to see everyone again and they all remembered me. Then on Wednesday I went with another ZL in his area and Thursday stayed here in my are with another ZL and then on Friday went with President out to visit some elders in the boonies. I always love going with Pres and its just super sweet getting to spend some good 1 on 1 time in the car and just talking about super sweet stuff. 

So the disappointing news is the Victor Leon was not able to get baptized this week, its actually kind of an interesting story. So he has this crazy aunt who absolutely just does not like us and is always telling him not to listen to us. So he is actually renting his house from this aunt and she told him that if he got baptized then she would kick him out of the house, i didn't think that was to nice but anyways, we are searching for a house for him and trying to find out what we can do to help him. Hopefully we can get something figured out this week and get him baptized on Saturday. 

Luis, the young man had a date for the 27 and it also fell because he didn't come to church yesterday. We are super confused with him and he always tells us that he is going to come but just always backs out at the last second. So we will see what happens. We found 13 new investigators this week so were pretty stoked about that and hope that some of them can progress and get in the waters of baptism. 

So this week is Christmas, I really cant believe it, It just doesn't feel like Christmas, I think its just cause the weather is always the same here, the only difference is that sometimes it rains and sometimes it doesn't. This whole week on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday we have our Christmas conferences which will be super fun and a good time to just kind of relax maybe a little bit and have some fun. So we will go to each on of those and then on Friday is Christmas and were planning on doing some service in a prison or something and then work and then talk to yall. Were thinking that we will call around 5:00 Pm Mexico time but that could possible change, I will keep you guys updated. We need to figure out where were going to do it at because our computers in the offices don't have cameras. I will keep you guys updated. 

Dad, just about your Qs. So when we have changes, the news always get here on Monday morning at around 9 in the morning. Then we all go to the mission house for training and breakfast and lunch. Then at 6 in the evening, companion ships of missionaries who are close each come and get one of them and take them with them till the changes the next day. Then after the changes, the missionaries who are leaving come to the mission house and eat and have their talk and then sleep a little bit but usually are leaving to head to the airport at all times of the night starting at like 12 in the night till like 5 in the morning. The worst thing is that this night we have to be awake and be calling for taxis to come get them all night long. 

That's about it Family. Life is so great and I'm so blessed to be a missionary. Im so thankful for this time of season and for Christ in our lives. Our theme for the conferences is What will i give. Just something to think about, I cant believe I will talk to you guys on Friday and then after that just 5 more months. Time is going by so fast and I just hope to use the best of it because this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to share this happiness with all. Love you guys
