How is everybody? I had a great week here in Mexico City. I have decided
that it is sometimes like time doesn´t exist here because the weather never
really changes. It´s never really hot or cold and about every other day it rains
a ton. Last night I ran from the bus stop to my house in like 20 seconds and
got soaking wet. I have decided that I love Mexico. It´s so different than the
US.
One day this week I chilled in the mission offices for a while because
Elder Bunker had to go sign for his VISA again. Apparently he was illegal. Haha.
I waited for him for most of the day there. I helped Hermana Oillataguerre (she
and her husband are a missionary couple). Most of the time I was asigning the
referrals on the computers to the right area of the mission using Google Earth.
I also made a map for President Valadez of all of the missions here in DF. It
was a nice change working in the offices for a day. It reminded me of when I
used to help mom out at the junior high. The good old days.
So this week we almost didn´t teach any lessons. We dropped a ton of
investigators too. But I don´t feel bad because we are working hard and we
contacted a ton of really good families that accepted us. I love teaching
families the most because they have the opportunity to some day go to the temple
to be an eternal family. We do have a few investigators that are going along
pretty well though. One named Sol, is going to get a prothesys leg pretty soon.
We taught her about priesthood blessings and at the end asked if she had any
questions. She asked,"When can you give me a blessing?" Haha. We gave her one
right there and I know it will help her.
I also had a cool experience on sunday. Every Sunday night Elder Bunker and
I have to train the district leaders in whatever we feel like is necessary. The
district leaders also have their companions there. One of them has always had a
hard time paying attention, and just acts like he doesn´t want to be there. He
has some obedience problems as well. I talked to him and his companion by
themselves and starting asking him some simple questions, encouraging him a lot,
and showing him his strengths. We saw a complete change in him afterwards. He
participated, made good comments, and thanked us at the end for the training. I
felt so happy to be able to help him and feel like I have learned a lot about
being a better leader this week. All you need is love.
As a zone leader, I have definitely spent less time in my area work and
more time in buses and meetings, but I am still learning what the Lord wants me
too. I know that here is where He can teach me what He wants me to know for the
rest of my life. I love my Father in heaven and I am here to serve Him and His
children. It´s really hard but a lot of fun. I have been so healthy here in
Mexico too. I don´t know why I brought a whole Pharmacy of medicine because I
never use it. I feel bad that Max got sick. I saw some adds for the Bourne
Legacy. I think I bought that book for Mark one year. You have see it and tell
me how it is. Anyways, I´ll stop rambling now. Have a good week and I love you
wall. Choose the right!
