Hey,
Ya we havent had any baptisms yet, but our zone wants to break the all time history record 14 baptisms and confirmations by doing 16 this month. I have a zone leader who looks a little like Dwayne Johnson haha. I write in my journal and account for every day since Oct. 2, 2013! I am teaching people but it always seems to go nowhere. We have a lot of baptism dates and then no one keeps the date, so ya. I havent gotten a baptism yet. I figure out Im in the hardest part of the whole mission like hardest area to baptize people! haha. I like it. I dont want it to be easy, but every baptism is the Lord's baptism not mine so even if I get one it isnt cause of me.
The temp here is heating up but not much. We still have the cool air breeze in the hot sun, but the most terrible is that when it rains it stays hot. It is like you cant breathe haha. I am staying in Munro with Elder Espinoza for this transfer again. He is good. I learn a lot from him. I am able to have charity and Christlike attributes cause sometimes when I get mad for no reason, I remember how it is how I would argue with you or dad or brothers and it is just cause I want to be the one that is right...so it honestly is good, he knows quite a bit of English for a native, surprisingly.
I havent bought anything for my birthday yet, haha. I havent found the time yet. Food here is expensive. I am able to eat with members all day, I can wash my clothes in the pension if needed and I get 900 pesos a month which goes fast cause I need to learn to manage it better, but I still have my money.
I am overall happy cause even though I have my struggles and my worries, I am overall happy cause I am where I want to be really and I didnt up and leave you guys like I didnt care about you, I up and left on a mission because I care about you guys! I love you all. I eat a lot of candy. One of the members who makes such good food, like a HUGE platter of potatoes and slabs of roast beef, gave us some American candy. It is amazing how they visited America and they gave me some candy for Halloween, which yes they do celebrate but not like we celebrate. It may be cause Im a missionary but dont know. It just is amazing how selfless that family is!
I love you so much, I got to go baptize!
Love you! :)
Brady!
