Well this week was an interesting one. Lots of little pot holes...
Well The first one was wednesday, at about 130pm i get a call from the Secretary to the President.... he asked me what airport i wanna arrive at when i get home..... my tickit for going home has been baught.... what an ugly feeling. It was like a knife in the heart that one. I cant beleive it. ( speaking of home, someone shake Elder Adams Hand for mewhat ya get a chance, im sure he will be over to go swimming real soon.)
Um then i sepent all wednesday night throwing up, that was fun, the doctor thursday morning said that it was because of eating too much chile and gresees, go figure thats every meal! so i have been trying to calm everything down since. I have to be very carfull with what i eat for the next little while. BUt i worked it out with the mission mom Hna Treviño and the doctor, they gave me some anti gastritis pills. (i dont know wha the thing is called inn english sorry) My insestines felt like those long party baloons for most of the week.
Last night we had a counsiul of district leaders with the zone leaders and we talked about all the zone goals and fun stuff. Then we just stayed the night there because misantla is a good two hours away. Our zls are both in my generation so it was fun talking about the mission. one is actually form arizona as well, he is from payson, but spent the last year or two in chandler befor the mish, so that was fun to talk about. then in the morning we all got together for Pday we wen twith alot of the zone to play sports. I played American Football for the first time in i think my whole mission. It was fun, me and another missionary switched off as quaterbacks. it was fun. We ended up winningthe last game but the other team one most. More than anything it was fun.
Coming back from playing i almost lost the cell phone. THe bus ride bask is really bumpy. We got to the house and i realized that i didnt have the cell phone, and i remembered that it probably stayed in the bus and fell out of my pocket. so we rean back to wherer teh bus passses to go back to the zls area and waited for the bus, and whan it came i got on and found the cell phone tucked away in the seat with 2 pesos... that was a huge releive, BUt i think i lost my origonal name tag that i got wayy back in the mtc. If i did im gonna be sad. Maybe when i check through ym stuff again ill find it. but thats was basically the week
THe area has been a littel more difficult. the people here are a little slpwer to let things penetrate. but even with the work being a little slower we keep really trying. Working in branches is always really hard because most of the members dont even go to church. BUt we have 3 people that could get baptized this next saturday, Marina, Edwardo and Yaneth. THey just need a few more priniples and they will be good. They are all three ready they just have to stop thinking that they arnt. They just gotta go for it and make that leap of faith. Just a little more pacience adn they will get thier, pacience and THe Book of Mormon will do the trick.
THis week on thrusday we have a zone conference with one of the area presidents. Benjamin de Hoyos. We have to study The docrine of Christ, The Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Talk by Joseph Waddel before we go. Last years conference by the area 70 was pretty sweet so i imagine this will be likwise.
BUt thats about everything we have right now. thansk for you help and support, hope all is well!
