"Horse meat not José Smith"

 Well another week done in mexico. I'll explain the title in a minute. This week was full of rain showers and cold? Yeah I never thought during my mission I would be wanting a jacket. It happened and its been COLD. Cold here is like 75 is degrees, after a week and a half of close to 90+ degrees 75 really gets to you.


Highlights:
 horse meat not José smith, I'm blessed to have a good amount of pretty good English speakers in my ward here in deportiva. They have good English but they still have the Spanish accent and at lunch yesterday they were talking about some other people and one of them knows English and he tried explaining something, I dont really know what they were talking about but he randomly said horse meat not José smith, with a heavy tabascan accent it actually sounds almost the same

Not a highlight but update on Fernanda, she really wants to be baptized but her mom won't sign. We (my comp) had a almost hour conversation to try to get the signature and it didn't work sadly.

Georgina got baptized!!! Georgina has been waiting for a while to be baptized, she got burned with water or something that she had to wait to get baptized but she did, it was very nerve-wracking for her and me. It was my first baptism in Spanish. It was slightly scary.

Finding people is really hard because everyone and their mom (literally) is catholic and worships idols here.

We had zone conference and ive never been so confused in my life, its okay tho i understood a little bit.

We have an area we call narnia that's kinda in the jungle or to get there you walk on a road that's right on a river with a bunch of jungle around it, its pretty cool. We were walking and a car passed by that waived at us, we waived back but my comp realized it was a bunch of girls so he jokingly ran after them. (He's really good at chapter 14 pmg) but they stopped, he didn't a first contact and one of them recorded the whole thing... terrifying. It was more funny than anything because he was joking to talk to them and they all happened to accept the message. Probably because we are two white boys in mexico but hey we taught them about Jesus. Thats all that matters

Spiritual thought:
I've talked a lot about testimonies, without my testimony I wouldn't be here in mexico. Theres so much I still need to learn with teaching lessons and just a lot more Spanish. Everything I feel bad about not being able to help as much as I want to my como just tells me that I have my testimony and that is all I need. If there's one thing I can talk about in Spanish is how much this gospel has helped my life. As long has you have your testimony, you can help others strengthen theirs. Share it, its important to not keep it to yourself.

Peep the google photos, i upload there often.

Earthquakes, fires, and headaches

  Holy what a week. A lot happened. To start off with news years, I thought the US did it big for new years. Nope not one bit. It sounded like I was in a war zone all night. At midnight there were about 100 plus elders screaming and yelling on the field right behind the casa. I watched some of the craziest fireworks I've ever seen, we were all standing on the second counselors driveway, to think back to it there were so many other spots to watch fireworks at midnight in the ccm. Thats okay, he didn't yell at us.  I don't think ive ever had such bad headaches and the amount I have had here is not fun. There's been a few days when I bum around in the morning because my head hurts so bad. Friday was definitely one to remember, I woke up with a bad headache and as I was getting ready, there was an earthquake! I'm not gonna say i jinxed it but the day we got to the CCM i joked about how funny it would be if there was an earthquake, well there was one and to make it bette...

Im famous? No

  This transfer was crazy, we did it all literally exploring the jungle all the way to being cornered in an alley by a dog. Its been so amazing serving God in Mexico.  Just found out my dad is DL as well as finishing my training 🙏🙏 thats pretty hype. Alright lets get into it, here are the highlights of this week: -Divies with the ZL, its been weird both of the divies I have done have been in my area with my companion and then another missionary joining us. Its been great. A long with that, we had a sleepover at the ZLs house. That was pretty fun, they live in a house with 4 other missionaries right now.we had boneless, its basically a better Bdubs. Slept in a hammock, that wss pretty lit. They also had a bench so I was able to workout in a normal way. (I miss the gym so much)  -Fernanda is getting baptized!!!! If you don't know who Fernanda is. Well we put a fecha with her the first day I was here, since then we have been fighting (not really but kinda) with her mom to ...

We are looking for José 😃

  And thats another solid week down here in Mexico, it doesnt stop getting hotter.  It was a pretty interesting week so lets get to the good stuff. Highlights:  -We had zone conference, it was chill. I was able to understand a good chunk of it. That was pretty dope. -A lot of the times when we are looking for people and doing public contacts or just talking to people in the streets, instead of making it weird by just starting talking. I like to ask them if they know José, we are looking for José. Sometimes it works, other times you get sent to a house of jehovah witnesses -Met some pretty dope jehovah witnesses, usually they don't like us missionaries. They invited us in and we talked, gave us an invite to their church. The next day we were walking close to their house and he came running with pan and gave us some fire pan. Chill guys, they wont listen to... We tried... -We were knocking some apartments and i looked out and a huge field was on fire, it looked like it was ...
