Week 28 - Gotta love the [lack of] rain here

Gotta love the rain here...Because it doesn't. It's just hotter and hotter every day, But it's fine. I just might get enough freckles that they all join together and I'll be a morenito!

The Super Bocho

This week, we're set to have two baptisms! Hermalinda and Gerardo are all set to get baptized on Thursday. Hermalinda wanted to get baptized that day because it's her birthday, and when we explained that baptism was being "born again" she said she'd rather not have to change her birthday. We laughed quite a bit before explaining that it was metaphorical. 

I'm so excited for them!

I think in the mission is the first time I've ever sat down and written down goals in my whole life. It has been something really weird, but it's also been really helpful. I get up and feel like the stuff I've set out to do has been set in stone. I wrote that I never want to turn off the alarm and go back to sleep, and now when I wake up, I feel guilty if I don't at least get up and drink some water, or start excersizing. 

I highly recommend just writing down what you want to inprove in yourself, and you will find that it's much easier to accomplish your goals, and change yourself. As someone who never really liked to change, it has helped me find focus on what I need to do. It has given me the discipline to not drink soda every day, and definitely not buy a 2.5 L bottle of Coke every other day.

Bags of flavored water and Chicharrones

The mission is great, The work is flourishing, and I am satisfied. For what more could I ask? Thanks for all your support, and know that I love you guys. I know that you will find no greater happiness than by growing closer to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Give it a try, or a retry, if nessecary. Love you all, and thanks for the emails. I love getting them.
