Week 13 - "Wow, the Lord really knew what he was doing when he sent me to Mexico"


This week was pretty great! I wouldn´t say it went by as fast as the others probably because I got a new companion and just the change made it seem a little longer but it was still way fun! my three month mark is coming up on Thursday and I have decided that I'm gonna eat a habanero pepper haha! I'm gonna have my comp film it! I'm scared!! Anyways, Elder Arjona is awesome! He really likes Pokeymon and is probably gonna teach me how to play if we ever have time haha! I'm developing alot of much needed patience with him!! I lack alot of that.. and I know that the lord knows that that is what I need and Having Elder Arjona as my comp is really gonna help me with that! haha gotta love the kid! Yesterday when we were eatin lunch, the thought popped into my head, "wow, the Lord really knew what he was doing when he sent me to Mexico" he knew how much I would love the food!! haha it is so dang good! There hasn't been a single meal that I havn´t liked!! I really love tamales!! I remember in the MTC when I first tried it, I didn´t really like it but now I crave them all day long! those with some Pico de Gayo. emmm emm emmmm so good! I'm beginning to like Coke too! Although it makes me feel like crap after drinking it, its pretty good! we drink it everyday! wow I really just am starting to love this place! I'm surrounded by alot of good people that make all the hard times worth it!! I'm developing a really good relationship with the familia Sanchez! They always have me and my comp over for dinner every Sunday now!! They're awesome! They're in a bunch of my pictures so you´ll probably know who I'm talkin about! They always make me flour tortillas because they know how much I love them!!:) I have now had a few experiences with this but when we read the book of Mormon with our investigators, there is just such a good feeling! The spirit is so strong!! I know that its true!! Our investigator Rocio, I think, is really coming to know that this is true! She has a friend that is a member that comes and sits in during the lessons now! She seems very happy when we are teaching her so that's good! We also have a few others that seem to be pretty good investigators so far! Spanish is coming along really fast now! Having a companion that doesn't speak English is really helping me! I still got a long ways to go but I feel that its comin way fast! I know alot of gospel words so I can talk alot more during lessons! This week we taught a lady the first lesson and her son was playing some pokeymon game on the xbox and so right as I saw that, I chuckled and thought to mysleft, "This should be interesting.." haha so when I got finished teaching my part, I turned to my companion for him to take over and he was just glued to the tv hahaha! it was really funny!!
Well I miss you all very much!! Something that the mission has done for me is make me alot more grateful person! After going without something you realize how blessed you are to have those things! Family for one of those things! Its something I took for granite and after going with out my family, I've realized just how blessed I am to have you all apart of my life and I've realized just how much I love you!! There are many more things!
I hope you all have a great week! love and miss you!
