I knew it wasn’t my fault you weren’t getting letters! No , I don’t want a portable dvd player I’m a good missionary. It would be nice but with 10 peso pirate dvds on every corner its way too much of a temptation. I haven’t gotten any package yet. How long ago did you send it? I’ll see the secretaries today so I’ll ask them. Christmas list? I’m still in that stage of not really wanting much. Ibought the new LDS version of the Bible that finally came out in Spanish. I love it the Bible isn’t as much apostasy as before since we were using a Christian Bible, I actually read it and use it in my study! I’ve become "hungry" for learning new stuff. My last comp lent me the book "the Great Apostasy" by Talmage and I read it in about a week. and I’m reading "A Marvelous Work and a Wonder" by LeGrand Richards. I’ve already read the Miracle of Forgiveness and Jesus the Christ. I’ve got a big booklist of books i want... but... books are heavy. I’m already carrying around too much stuff. So for a Christmas list... a sweater, normal like a hoodie. Other things that are on my mind is... ok a long time I bought a 30G ipod from another missionary at a good price, but now its being lame sauce. It only works hooked into the speaker deal, so I want to take that to get fixed and... um... a new suit. a motorcycle, a toy train, an x-box with flat screen tv or a projector, legos, a vacation out of this city and a pony. deal? Oh and a girlfriend…I’m tired of being with a man all day ;)
See how close you can get.
No, look I don’t want to leave stuff here and I don’t want to pay a bunch to drag it home. Send me some baptisms and missionaries that want to work… that’s all I want.
Bad week, the zone pretty much did horribly. The whole mission is just in a huge nose dive... the culture of work has been overridden by an attitude of "the numbers don’t matter" and pure laziness. It’s such a frustration. Then I don’t want to talk bad about my leaders but every time the assistants call me its "you need to do this" and "you have to do this" if i haven’t been in the refiners fire for a long time I would be in the pits of depression right now. But tomorrow comes. We had a good leaders meeting last night searching for solutions. Today we are going to have a zone council like a roundtable to get to see what is going on from the point of view of everyone and look for solutions and what we can to. The key not is focusing on how the things can’t be done but finding a way that they can. Then we have Zone Conference on Wednesday.
It was a cloudy week, a bit depressing with low numbers in our area but we had 1 baptism and 2 confirmations with 11 investigators in sacrament meeting. Sunday always comes. its the day of refreshment, a day of delight for me. I love Sunday even though it still is work.
Oh ya, I’m now famous. I’m in the Liahona in Mexico. In the news part for an activity we did. I’ll try and steal a copy.
I love seeing your faces thanks for the pics. I love you all so much. Take care of each other. Be united.
