Pants Day

Well as my pal says it, today is "Pants day". My very first pants day. I'm sitting here in an internet cafe in pants. And it's really weird. But it's cool.. in a warm way. This week has been fairly normal (other than today). I will explain. Today we had our activity - like the activity I had the first Monday I was here. And since I'm still here in Tapachula, we went to Izapa again. It was nice. The best part of it was seeing the people from my MTC district (well three of them) and also other people. It was lovely, but the same-ish. And we were told we could wear our regular pants for the rest of the day (well until we teach again). And other than that today is a normal p-day.

The rest of the week has been fairly normal. We have been contacting, teaching, eating food (even though we have had a bit of miscommunication in the food situation and almost didn't eat a few times, but did end up eating - just a little later than usual), and all that stuff. We did have something really cool happen. We got to a lesson with an investigator (Octavio). And we were verifying if he read the Book of Mormon since the last time we saw him and he said well yeah, but I haven't finished yet. So we asked what he did read because we didn't leave a whole lot to read. And he showed us he's already read 75 pages. What?? That was pretty cool. Now what he needs is to go to church and all the other fun stuff! It'll be great!

We also had quite a lesson with another person. We went to teach a new person that we contacted and when we got there someone we taught once but who supposedly used to go to church for about a year but never got baptised, showed up. And he has so many things to say. We hardly could get a word in during the whole time we were there. It was a bit difficult, but this is where I'm certainly learning patience. It was weird and he's full of many words and things to say, but it was funny too. So there you have it. My week and all that fun stuff.

The end.

Pants Day in Izapa

 The Book of Mormon is true. It's written in stone. :) Well this is Lehi's Dream.

Feliz Dia

Once upon a time it was Saturday and guess what happened? Well... a baptism!! Hanny got baptized. I don't know if I have told you all about her much, but she's a little ten year old and her parents are inactive members but said they want her to be baptized (she also wanted to be so it wasn't just the parents). We've been trying to work out this baptism for quite some time, but her mom has been working in Tuxtla a lot until now. So we finally put a date about three weeks ago and she got baptized on Saturday. It was a bit stressful because her mom wasn't able to come and I felt really bad. Also there weren't any members there besides family and the bishop, but it was a great baptism and she's just so happy so that is what is really important!

Anyway. This whole week went well. Hermana Agustin and I are working well together. We are having a fun time and contacting all of Tapachula. It's really crazy. But it's good though. I'm still cooking a bit down here, but that's just the way it goes. Friday we had intercambios and I was with Hna. Aldas again. (two transfers ago I was with her, but they haven't been changed since then). And it was a grand old time just like always. I want to be able to go to the other area for a change and not be the one left in my area, but one day it will happen. Nah.. I like my area a lot, it just seems like fun to get to know another.

Our lessons have been great this week and we're working hard and strong - at least trying as much as we can. It is a fun time here in the land of tortilla and I sure hope all of you are having a joyful time in the land without much rain.. in comparison to what it's supposed to be like here.

Have a great week!

Hello Friends!

Yola! How are all of you? I hope you are all great! I am too! This week has been a pretty lovely week. As I said last week, I am now training. That's right, I am still in my first area and I am going to be here longer! I am happy about that. The only sad thing is that it is still a little chilly here.. and by chilly I mean hot. :) Anyway.. I went to Tuxtla on Monday with three other Hermanas and Elder Atkinson (from my MTC district) as trainers to be. And the ride there (and back) were not exactly my favorite because I didn't feel super. When we got there I had a fever and just felt bad, but for the record I'm all good now.

I met all five of the new sisters that night, but we didn't get assigned until Tuesday. In the morning we hung out in the mission home which I love. And we got our companions a little bit later and I'm with Hermana Agustin! She's so great! She's 22 years old, from Hidalgo, Mexico. And she's great! I think I don't have a picture of her yet.. oops. I keep forgetting.

Anyway. This week has gone really well. We are getting along and are happy little campers. Camping amongst the mosquitoes (her more than me because the mosquitoes like new meat more). And we're just working on along having a grand old time. The members are all weirded out that I have already been here almost 6 months. They thought I would go and not my companion who had only 3 weeks here. But we go where the Lord sends us. I really like this ward though and I know that He has a reason for me to be working here in this area in this time! Yay missionary work! :)

Short on Time

Hola rapido!

Today is transfer day! I'm off to Tuxtla again! For the same reason as before.. I'll be training and I sure hope it goes better this time. ;) So I'll still be here in my same area and it will be a fun time. Anyway, my bus leaves at 2 or 3 and I have to be outahere soon for that! I had a good week. We had more rain luckily. I love it! And we've just been working like crazy! I will let you all know more things next week and I hope you all have a happy day and week!
