Sup family and
friends!
So today for P-day I roll out of bed, grab my towel shower,
do personal study, waddle over to the bakery, say hola to the woman that always
calls me gringo, and I just say hello and she just laughs. I buy my two normal
breads, give her 10 pesos, get dressed for soccer, grab my backpack, walk down
the street saying buenas dias to everyone I pass, and get to the church. We
talk about how awesome it is when a prophet just planches (or in other words
very very frank and stern and almost rude) people of the church. Really in the
church we don’t know how real the gospel is sometimes, and its soo cool when he
planches you haha. I read a talk this morning about how the missionaries in the
beginning of the church took the Book of Mormon lightly and Ezra Taft Benson
just destroys them. He said they brought all of the children of Zion under
condemnation, and it just smacked me right in the face cause I take the Book of
Mormon lightly so I felt like crap. So that’s all good, now I’m cleaning my
laundry and emailing and that’s usually just a P-Day for me, nothing too cool
haha. Idk why I wanted to share that.
Anyway we had another super dope baptism this week and she
only has 10 years old. Her name is Michell her parents aren’t even members and
they didn’t want her to get baptized but she told them, “I’m getting baptized”
and they were just like “okay whatever”, but they came around. They were way
stoked for her, and I hope they get baptized too. She is such a great example
for me cause I was such a shiz head before my mission. I wouldn’t have done
what she did. She’s so strong it’s awesome!
Well I’m still doing good, I almost have 6 months in the
mission but who’s counting right. WINK WINK. As we speak I am just destroying
so many mosquitos it’s pretty cool. I’m still in the area with the giant sewage
pond and there are tons of bugs, and dogs, and drugs, and fights, so that’s
super sick. I love and miss my family and Utah and the snow but the mission
rocks! You learn some super cool stuff here.
Well until next week
my darlings.
