Hey family!
I am doing super well! Loving the mission.
I don’t know. At times I think I am bi-polar. At times I want to be doing other
things, and other times where I love what I am doing. Maybe because there is
happy American music playing in the cyber right now.
On Tuesday I ate so much Chile it destroyed
me. I had about 4 or 5 mornings where I had my studies in the bathroom. Gosh
dang it Mexican food. On Thursday though we had Little Caesars. I miss American
food sometimes. It doesn’t destroy me as much.
So Omar was confirmed yesterday which was
nice. I really hope he stays active. We are going to keep working with
him.
The highlight of the week (besides the diarrhea)
was that we found a great family. 2 weeks ago, a 15 year old son contacted us
asking us to visit his family. We went, but then couldn’t ever find them at
home because they went on vacation. We finally found them and set up a cita on Friday.
We talked to them how the Gospel can bring blessings to their family. There is
the mom (Karla) and the dad (Edgar) and Kevin (15), Brandon (14) and Brian (4).
Brian is my favorite. I love this family. Only the 4 guys went to church
yesterday because Karla had a surgery. I really hope they progress. We have a
cita with them tonight. We will see this week!
On Tuesday some of the hermanas in my
district had a baptism and I baptized their investigator. The water was
freezing because the font ran out of gas. Then on Sunday, the other hermanas
(they also work in the Tecnilogico ward) baptized a couple. I worked with this
couple and they are pretty good. But the water was still freezing. Poor old people in the cold water. We were
worried for them, but they made it out okay and were super happy after their
baptism.
I was pretty happy this past week because I
was thinking about Ruth in Toluca. She was one of my first converts. She just
completed a year as a member and is super active from what I hear from the
other missionaries. I am excited for her because this next week the Mexico City
Temple is having an open house for a few weeks and then dedicate it in
September. I am so excited for the people of Mexico. There are so many people
who are waiting to receive the blessings of the temple.
The work is hard at times and at times I
wish I was home, but the mission is something that is hard to describe. The
things you learn are impossible to learn anywhere else. I love and miss you
all!

P.S. -We also just were told that Elder Anderson is
going to come to our mission at the end of August! That should be exciting!
P.P.S. - [About the Yarmouth Branch newsletter]...Holy cow. Everyone is so old. I am pretty sure when I get back I won't know anyone
