The great and spacious building, part 2.

 Well I finally made it to Villahermosa but there were a few things left from the CCM cause I didnt get an email out. Its gonna be a long one


-I broke my finger dunking on an elder (I broke it getting a rebound), the next day I broke out of the CCM and got it xrayed it is infact broken... its okay

- did the ei Spanish test, that sucked

-there was another earthquake which I called it BTW.

-some elders in the casa had a pet snail and he died, we had a funeral for him it was so funny but also serious and sad....

- I won the war and got my monsters back, that was epic

We got to Villahermosa! It's so hot here, its crazy. I got put right smack in the city, its so cool. We are opening so its interesting, we know nobody.

My dad is elder Armstrong, he's pretty dope. He's been in the field for 6 months, luckily he's pretty good at Spanish. 

Theres a massive mall in the middle of our area, its called the great and spacious building. We arent allowed in it and we don't know why, apparently something happened with missionaries. We didn't know that so we had McDonald's and looked for some things there. 

My first full day, we had a lesson with a new friend, let me tell you how tuff it was. We started teaching and she said wait let me grab my notebook. She went and grabbed a notebook and started taking notes on the lesson. I was actually scared. Luckily Elder Armstrong clutched and we put fecha! We got her a baptism date! Then on Sunday, she went up and bore her testimony! It's so cool! Safe to say she's ready.

We picked bananas off a roof two days ago, they were not ready and were not good.

Spanish is hard but I'll get it eventually, I hope.

Imma keep my spiritual thought short. Being out here just makes me realize how important it is to just trust God's plan and trust it will all work out.

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 ...
