Week 75 - Dos Bautismos

Un-fasting at Little Ceasar's.
Good stuff, but I'm gonna be real sick of it once I'm done.

That's right. Next week is changes. I'll know where I'm going next week. It's been super fun with Elder Pacheco. I'm gonna miss this dude. And Elder Jensen. He's really gonna be a great missionary. 

I'm sure it's hard to be around two missionaries on the tail end when he's just starting. He's a champ. 

Week 74 - God answers Prayers in very different ways

This week was really cool. Most of my week I was doing fine, but by Friday, I had gotten sick again. I have an appointment with the gastroenterologist tomorrow. I hope I get better soon. I HATE being sick for this long.

So we found out on Monday last week that we were going to be in trio with Elder Jensen. He has 4 months in the mission, and got pulled out of where he was because its was a little dangerous. We're going to finish his training and help him out with whatever he needs. He's a cool guy, and we'll get him speaking spanish in no time.

Elder Jensen, Pacheco and me in Zócalo

We had our multizone conference on wednesday, and we talked about the importance of the Holy Ghost when we teach, and being worthy of that spirit. I love hearing form President. He's a great speaker and he really cares about us. 

Thursday, we had divisions with the Asistents. I went with Elder Maxwell and Elder Jensen here in Atzingo. We had some great lessons. Elder Maxwell teaches really well, and he has a lot to teach us. We had a great experience(see voice recording)

Week 73 - What a Sick Week!

With my trainer, RM Ortiz

What a sick week!

I say that, not because we have a lot of success, but because we both got super sick. It was soo rough. There is not a lot to do in the apartment for the companion who is not sick.  We only had two lessons the whole week because I couldn't leave the house. I think I got sick from some tacos I ate. My companion hates that because he loves tacos and I really am not a fan of them so much anymore. After all, they gave me a 7-day stomach infection.

We did find two new people last week named Arturo and Eusenia. Arturo has cancer, and they want to know more. Lets hope for the best.

Monday was awesome! We played sports again, and it felt really good. We haven't had that much sport fun on p-day for a long time. And Fernando Ortiz came down from California to visit us. He's here for vacation and stopped by to hang out with us. It was good to see my first trainer again!

That's all I've got. Being really bored this week, I thought of Ether, who lived in a cavity of a rock for years without having anything to do. It makes it a little easier for me, who only had nothing to do for a week. The scriptures really teach you sympathy.
