Looking for a house...again

how's life going there.... life here has been crazy for me, transfers came, and then we got some news about the house... .... yeah, i will start with transfers....

my new comp is a mini missionary called gustavo. he's a cool guy, and is getting ready to go out on his mission. so that's what happened, i don't know why i got a mini but whatever. i don't complain, so yeah, but aside from that transfers worked out great for me... in my house i have my kid again, elder bills, who is now comp mayor.... a stud like his papi.... but yeah, also i know a ton of the elders in the zone now so it makes p days more fun... but yeah, so that's how transfers worked out for me.... to be honest, when i got them i wasn't the happiest camper, but yeah it's all good... stuff happens for a reason... now i just gots to find the reason... but I'm excited to see what the Lord has in store....

now the thing with the house, again we are looking for a house. because the dueño said that he wasn't going to fix it, and so then the mission said that they weren't going to pay so yeah, we have till the end of the month to find a house. and we cant go over mil pesos which makes it almost impossible to find a house.... and nobody really seems to want to help us out that much..... so yeah, still don't know if it's cause we are missionaries or if it's cause we are yankees so i guess we will see with time...... but yeah, they are putting a lot of pressure on us to find it, and we can't work until we find it.... so yeah, that's pretty much the 2 main things that are happening here.

also big news, for the first time in the mission i got sick, it was for like 2 days, Thursday and Friday. it was funny cause me and my comp got sick at the same time, so it was fun, but super boring.... but yeah, it's been all good with that....now i wont get sick till i get home... so that's a trunky moment..jaja

but yeah, for my birthday didn't tell anyone, so they found out after and kind of got mad at me, but i don't really want to do anything... now I'm 20, big whoop..... i kind of stopped caring about stuff like that for these 2 years so yeah.... it's cool though, I passed it the way i wanted to: tranquilo, and so good b-day....

but yeah, that's pretty much this week up till now and what I'm doing, kind of hard for me. but to be honest, pres must like to keep me off my feet, with all the changes. but i don't mind cause i learn quick and it's kind of funny to see what else he wants to throw at me... but yeah, that's my life right now... excited for the changes, and more excited to see the miracles... so yeah, i love u all... thanks for the prayers and the emails.... i like getting them. so yeah

peace out

It's all good

hey every, one this week is a big week.

my comp elder monge is going home, and transfers are this week... the only thing i want for transfers is not to be leader de distrito..(sorry for the crazy Spanglish). but we will see what happens..

but this week has been kind of normal, working trying to find people, and doing as many contacts as possible. we have found some good people doing contacts but all of them live in other areas so they are for other people... but its all good. just need to keep working...

but as far as everything goes here, just going, doing what we need to do. this week is pretty much my comp's week to decide what we want to do, cause he is going home on sunday. but good thing is he has will to work still. so yeah, i have no complaints, it's good. also cause he is going home means lots of asados (BBQ). so yeah, I'm happy for that. but yeah.. to be honest i cant think of anything that happened that was out of the ordinary.. really, there was nothing, so yeah...

i guess as far as the house goes, we still don't have gas, wait have something.. so pres did interviews last Thursday, and he did them in the houses of the missionaries. which was funny. cause they didn't like our house at all, and gave us a big list of things we needed to change or fix. made me laugh a little cause aside from the gas. the house is the nicest house i have lived in... so yeah... but we will fix it. in time... but yeah, so that's pretty much everything... on my part...

so now i get to publicly make fun of 2 people who are old.... one my brother paul.. who now that the years have past by is really bald... jajaja... and my mom, that is probably one of the oldest people alive... but they both had b-days and so i want to sing a song.... happy b day to u.... (repeat same line 2 times) happy b day dear old people.... (repeat same 1st line)....

so happy birthday to them and yeah thanks u all for everything for the love and all the things u have given me..

i love u all...

peace out

Round 2 coming up!

hey y'all, how life going....

general conference was crazy good. it was cool to watch all of the sessions, the only bad thing is that we couldn't get anyone to go see it with us... but it was great, we watched it with all the other elders in english so yeah. my favorite talk is uchdorf, Sunday morning great, but i also loved how the prophet opened it up, with all the jokes, it was awesome. i really seem to love general conference now, mainly cause everytime i see it, i know they're all servants from God.... except the girls not the best speakers....lol.. but yeah, it's funny cause it gets very prideful, of them.. but i guess it's a good thing, what do i know? but yeah, so it was good....

but as far as everything else goes, it was mellow, relaxed, but we didn't have too many opportunities to work, but yeah. really, nothing happened that was weird since the last time i wrote y'all so i really got nothing...

well, we got in a bash, and we got round 2 this Friday.. here's the situation, there is a menos activo who is studying with another religion, and we got there right as this religion was teaching her, and so long story short, she is confused... i would be too.... and so she told us to come back Friday, this other religion also, and she will ask questions, and then we answer them. then the other religion, and we do it all like that... but yeah, so it's going to be fun...... but we got a secret weapon that isn't really a secret but they just don't use it, and that's the book of Mormon, seriously i have never been so grateful for that book, as i have been this transfer, all the arguments that can be had with the bible, the book of Mormon fixes them... and they help one another.... it's awesome.... so this hermana will go from menos activo to fully activo..... but if the BoM doesn't work, which it will, we still got the truth and the spirit..... so yeah, it's going to be good.. i hope we can help out the hermana see the truth. and so i will tell u all latter how it went.... really, i hate bashing, but for the hermana i will do it.... well, i guess really not bashing, more answering her questions, and the objections of the other religion... but yeah..... hope it goes well...

but aside from that i've got nothing. I'm happy here, my area is hard but I'm sure in my head i make it harder than what it really is, but there is always people, otherwise i wouldn't be here in this area... so family of 7 here we come.

but yeah, thanks for the love and the prayes, love u all and peace out

Caring for what's important

how,s life there in the world of the world.... dumb statement, here it's been interesting.

to be honest, i can't really think of what happened this week... so, oh yeah, the day after last p-day, i did divisions with the zone leader, it was good, i learned a lot of good stuff, and yeah, worked a lot in an easier area. but then after that, it was work like normal, we tried to find people and had no exito, but i figured out the problem, cause i really don't care about datos (info) and stuff like that, but now they are counting the contacts we do, so that had me thinking a lot about getting contacts, not finding new people to listen to, so pretty much i forgot about the people, it hit me when i stopped in front of a bus stop with a lot of people and did a contact that was really easy to say no to..... so yeah, once i figured that out, i was bummed.. I'm just going to do my best, love the people and even though i kind of need to care about the datos, I'm not going to let them run me.... it's not supposed to be that way. also i realized i have left my motto a lot this transfer, i would worry about trying to look like a capo in front of everyone, and then look like dumb........ actually, this week was a learning experience.. so just going to stick to my motto, stay chill, and do what i got to do, and trust in God, got me this far, and to my best way to have exito (success).

but yeah, also yesterday was zone conference, that's why I'm writing on jueves(Thursday), but it was good, pres. came really late so it was really short. but good. i always love them, learn a lot and more than anything like the interviews with pres. but we didn't have those. so i heard next Monday. we will see. but yeah. today we had a zone activity and went to play football on the beach in the morning and then went to a place like sea world, it was cool, i liked it. good shows ,not as much to do, but not as much money either. so yeah i can live with that...got some good pictures i will try to send next week.... but good p-day.

oh, about the house, so the dueño decided to pay the dude but the dude only got like 1/10 of the money he needs but we are making progress... I just want hot water before winter, no more, and i would be happy. but yeah..

now for some questions, as DL i don't really do anything, just take the data and stuff, and watch after the other elders in my district but it's good. and about my comp, I'm senior, and he is menor, but i call it co-co cause he knows more and is teaching me a lot of stuff. i love elder monge, he is a stud, just a cool good elder. so yeah, we work hard. and do what we need to do.

well, really it was a weird letter cause it doesn't make sense to me what i wrote, my head is tired, so yeah... that's probably why but yeah, thanks for all the love and the prayers.....

peace out
