como estan. good i hope. im pretty good. this week we worked really hard and taught a lot of lessons and we have 3 baptismal dates! so there is a little more success... and we are working hard. on the 19th theres changes and i kinda hope i get changed cause i wanna know more of the mission and see different things! one of us will probably leave but we dont know who yet. i think if one doesnt leave then the other will be in this area for like 6 months... i wanna go to like the city parts of D.F. where there is a lot of people and drug lords that want to knife me... haha jk i made that last part up. theyre not drug lords, theyre just normal men that want to knife me.... jk again! there is just a lot more people and i think there is more success. but i like it here because its very chill and most people are super nice... but its super catholic here. they do some weird crazy stuff and chants in the streets and their pics and lil stands with the virgin and jesus on the sides of the roads are super ugly. the jesus is dressed up like a king and he is bleeding all over his face and hands and it says, "the sweet name of jesus". one of the most horrible things ive ever seen....
this week i gave a blessing! in spanish, it was alright. it went well... one of the new baptismal dates i have is with this guy Luis and that was one of the best lessons i gave. i actually taught more than my companion and i asked him if he wanted to be baptized... he said yes. hes cool he lives by himself. in the house next to his parents. thats common here. to live with your fam for a long time haha. the other person is maria teresa, i was with elder aguilar in ameca cause we were doing changes again that day. i dont really know what happened and my comp wont really tell me so ya, thats another! and the third is alfredo but he wont go to church so we have to keep moving back his date. but were working with him. he is like 70 and he lives with his sister and mom and they are super poor and they walk to church and its like an hour walk. well his sister and mom walk...
so Elder Dallin H. Oaks is coming in may and well the president organized a choir and he said he wants people who have been in choir before and wants people with talent and well i went haha and i made it! we practice in Distrito Federal every thursday and this coming thursday will be the first real practice with the set choir. there was like auditions and everything. and there can only be 20 people in the choir in the whole mission and like 50 elders came and i made it! over people who have sung before. haha i just wanted to do it because it is for Elder Oaks! and its gonna be sweet. its like legit too there is an elder that like knows how to conduct a choir and all that stuff so its gonna be sweet. i was surprised that i made it!
yesterday, sunday, was stake conference and it was really sweet too. the president and his wife and their daughter came (president of the mission, Chavez) and the pres and his wife and others spoke and it was really good! i enjoyed it. there was good talks and there was a choir there from 2 wards and well they were alright. the theme was the mission work and so they sang missionary songs. the last one was the efy medley (as sisters in zion, army of helaman collab) and well it was sweet! it was a little different the way they mixed in together i almost like it more but it was way poderoso y yo sentì el espiritu. still gave me chills!
well ill talk to ya soon! read and pray when?! you know the answer.
