4/4/2011




OK this week was awesome we had 2 more baptisms and we watched conference; Conference was awesome. it made me feel bad and i´m not even bad eligible to be married yet... cant imagine how a single RM feels... haha the people we baptised were blanca and josé both 24 they are not married but live seperately, we found her in a door contact my first week in the mission field, he as well cause he is her boyfriend, he has lots of family opposition as his dad is the catholic minister.....anyway this week went by really fast! we did lots of walking this week our area is about 20 blocks wide and about 1.5 miles (ish) long. its kind of rediculous. We have investigators on both ends and all the members live in the middle and don´t have cars but it keeps up in shape. We found 3 new investigators that are really golden here this week, they of course live as far away from eachother as possible but they are all single men as well, which means more priesthood, in which our ward has a serious lack.
Last p-day we went to the mountains as a zone before a few of our members were shipped away to different areas the picture of me sliding in in the middle of the woods...... I also bought a pair of cowboy boots that i really liked, i included a picture of them as well, :) i´ll send them over the border with hno. Casas who goes to the the untited states to sell produce there, he said he can send them there which would be better than trusting them to the mexican mail system.
Things in mexico are pretty... normal... for mexican normal. i live in a city that is conjoined with Monterrey, like draper through salt lake area and to give you an image of what its like here, there are more people here than in the entire state of Utah... yeah... My mission president is great! and he speaks fluent english which is really convinient cause i have a hard time understanding his argentinian accent. I also included a picture of ´the seat in the mountain´it looks like a saddle and thats why it has its name... there is also a small portion the city at the bottom as well.
 Anyway, thats the run down this week.
