The first email...the day he arrived at the Mexico CCM!

Hey Mom! 
 
Yes, I survived! The flight was long and super boring considering we can't watch any movies or anything on the plane or play on our electronics we don't have haha. I slept probably an hour total because I was so tired. My companion is actually Elder Frost hahaha. I haven't met him yet though, but I believe that's the next thing I do after this email. I don't have a ton of time so I'm typing super fast on this weird keyboard in Mexico haha. I have been informed that the illness is gone but over 400 kids were in the infirmary at one point...yikes! But I still hear the food is bad, so I will definitely eat the food I packed. My P day is Wednesday here, but I'm not sending an email tomorrow. So after tomorrow, every single Wednesday. Thanks so much for helping me on my mission, I love you tons and I know it's gonna be great here I can already feel it. Love you!!

Week #3: Halfway done!

Image
Wassup guys!!! So this email is a little earlier because we are going to the temple in a little over an hour from now. I am SO excited. Not only because the temple will be cool and all, but I'm gonna get a new sick tie hahaha. Two nights ago, Elder Frost's stomach was feeling really sick, and he was up all night throwing up like crazy, unfortunately. He woke us all up (Elder Robinson and Elder Sapp are in the same room as us) at 1:30 am and asked for a Priesthood blessing. We had Elder Sapp anoint the oil, and then I gave him a blessing. It was super scary because I had never done a blessing before, and I said a quick prayer right before to ask God to give me help in knowing what to say. It was only about a 45-second blessing, but I think it helped him a lot. He was able to sleep the rest of the night, but still felt sick in the morning. We went to the infirmary, and they told us to just relax and gave him some medicine. The cool thing is that the doctor said ...

Uneventful week

Image
Hey yaaaaaaaaaaa'llll, This week was kinda uneventful, so super sorry if this email is like, super boring  .      Me and Elder Quinde have just been livin´ it up here in Obrero. Our mission president made it a goal that we talk to 154 people every week as a companionship and so we've really just been finding people to teach this week. But now that we have Sajonia in our area, it's been super hard to have time to find people. There's a girl we're teaching over there named Carmen and it takes like 3 hours in total to take a bus there, teach, and come back. But right now she has a baptism date for the 27th, so pray that that goes through.      Next week is the semana santa, which means like holy week. It's basically Easter on steroids. So instead of just celebrating the Resurrection on Sunday, people here celebrate a different part of Jesus Christ every day of the week. I forgot what each day represents, but basically everyone just gets sup...

Why don't people go to church?

Image
So if you're reading that title right, you're noticing that NOBODY FLIPPING WENT TO CHURCH AGAIN!!!!!! What the heck man! Why is it so hard? Think about it...you get up just a little early and go to this place for just 2 short hours and keep all of the commandments and BAM, you're saved and go to the celestial kingdom. You'd think it would be more easy.      Anyways, WHAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTSSSS UUUPPP YAAA'LLLLLLL. This week was pretty swell. We found a lot of really cool people to teach. By that, I mean that we're teaching like 5 people, which is like 5 more than we've been teaching since my time here in Villarrica. So that's pretty cool.      Man, ya know I'm really trying to think of anything creative or exciting to put on this email, but ya know nothing is really coming to mind right now. I guess that means I had a pretty good week.      I guess I've been learning a lot about faith and patience. Like we've actually been working so hard ...
