Week 2-April 11th

Howdy,

So things are going here in Mexico. real spanish where we are talking with investigators, or my companion is so hard. It's different then anywhere else i have been taught spanish. One because now i have more than one thing-talking. Normally it's two people talking at the same time, sometimes at me. Or the cars outside, sometimes crying baby, last week a vomiting baby. But, its hard to focus on what they are trying to say.

Now that you know how the spanish is coming along the past week. so at the beginning of the week we had 9 people that were going to get baptized this past week. We continued to teach them and visit them. Then come Friday night, the night of their interview for baptism, they all passed but one. Then three others decided that they didn´t want to be baptized either. So when Saturday came around we went to go pick up three and they weren´t there. So we ended up only having two boys ages 10 and 8. It was my first time in the font. It was really cool, one reason is because i didn´t mess up on the prayer. (It's a little bit harder to remember in spanish).

But all is well. our church is one of the newest in the state. its only a year old and really nice. I don´t need money for a bike because for two reasons: one because it would probably get stolen, and two becuase there are so many hills that we would end up pushing them up the hill. but i have a pretty big sector and almost everybody in the mission walks except a couple sectors.

until next time,

and remember,

everybody loves a missionary,
