It was good to talk to everyone yesterday!!
We went ice skating at this out door skating rink with this
convert family that we baptised the 18 yr old girl like a month
ago, Bante, y elder Castillo and elder Winder. I out skated them
all, it was in town and it was free, I dont know if there was a
promotion or what.
The baptism was neat and I got to confirm Nelly. I was nervous
that I couldn’t’ do it well, but I got the espiritu santo so its
all good. I don’t know what is going to happen this week, the
weekend is going to be crazy for us for new years and waiting to
hear the changes and everything so ya.
Down here they have firecrackers on steroids and people are always
lighting them off in the nights and on Christmas eve night we couldn’t
sleep well cuz the locos were lighting them off all night. It is not a
bar across the street its a deposito where they drop off their 40oz
booz bottles and get refills and I’m pretty sure they vend more than
just booz, but they don”t play the drums so much these days.
but ya have fun,
be good and do what you all should
bye

December 13
Happy Birthday Heston, this is the shout out from Mexico!!! not quite as cool as Jake in stake conference maybe but here it is..And im super glad to hear that those fat cat tickets that I had worked so hard for have been put to use, one time I had to drink a pitcher of pop the fastest and almost threw up for a free bowling pass...Use them wisely and with great haste if they´re going to expire.. haha
Why don’t you send me a copy of jakes talk about preparing for the mission, I would like to read it. I would hope he follows what he spoke and be a hacedor de la palabra y no tan solamant a hearer, (james 1:5)
Maybe someone can go to fat cats and sell hot chocolate during this winter, its where the moneys at, ole Willey´s got it all wrong, da money is in the hot chocalate, not da shmall bails. (Inside Joke!!!)
We did splits this week with the zone leaders, Bante stayed in our area and one went with him and I with the other. It was fun to do something different, see new things, ride the bikes around town and such and there’s going to be more within our district cuz Bante is district leader.
The 23 president Call and Hna are going to come to Victoria and we’re going to have our Christmas dinner, I’m excited for that. I don’t know which day I’ll call home, cuz were planning on baptizing te 25 and if we do, were going to call home the 24 or 26 so that we don’t have to worry about it the same day we got to prepare for baptisms.
Well I had lost 20lbs in the first change, I don’t know where I’m at now, I eat enough and I’ve been trying to work out but its ruff.
love you all have fun and be good

December 6
Yes we were able to watch the Christmas devotional, and guess who I saw on the big screen? our beloved ward member, mormon tabernacle choir member, daughter wayne and carolyn jipson, Melanie Wilcox!!!! can you believe that? like 3 times I saw her....one of my buddies from our generation Elder Willmore was at the meeting with us and told me his ex girlfriend was playing a musical instrument and he saw her hahah small world. With conference and this thing, the stuff the church broadcasts, the members all go to the stake center to watch the broadcast.
One night we got done with a appt. and we were gong to say hi to someone when all of a sudden we hear running and turn to see a man running at us and then stopped and he was moaning wait wait wait... disculpen disculpen and was almost crying and puffing. It was a guy we taught the week before and haven’t seen since and he was saying that he wants to be like us and change and kept repeating ´´ando borracho, ando borracho´´ but he was saying alot of things but couldn’t really get it out cuz he felt bad cuz he was andando borracho... so we were calming him down and walked back to his house which was almost 100yds away and passed by the next day and he was drunk again and didn’t want to talk to us cuz he feels bad and ashamed,
Things were pretty good this week, our ward mission leader is pushing the work with the bishop and the members mas. Pres. de estaca came by last week to tell all the members that they need to work more with the missionaries and he´s pushing it too... the members seem to be more enthusiastic about helping us so that’s great.
We had a guy stop us one night to tell us he wants us to pass by his house, but he´s not around much, he´s always working so he told us if hes not home his wife is so we could pass by sometime. He didn’t know his address and pointed us in the direction and said the color of the house is baaige.... so we searched a few times, made some contacts trying to find him and then Saturday a cita fell and our respalda fell so we started searching for him, we asked a guy in one of the streets we selected and he said he thinks he knows the guy were looking for and he lives in the house down the street, so we passed by, no one was home and it was a house completely different then the color we thought...but the neighbors house fit the description so we contacted and out came a lady in her late 20´s maybe early 30´s she´s divorced and we taught her. We invited her to go to the church the next morning and she accepted it without hesitation so the next morning we passed by and she was getting her 5 yr and 3 yr old ready and we were a little behind schedule and she was worrying about that and ended up paying for us the micro and when we were fighting her about paying she kept saying that she made us late lalalala ... long story short, it was awesome that by small means, by following one path it lead to finding a different person who at this point appears very ready to come unto Christ through receiving the restored gospel..
And with Jake, I’m pretty sure that maybe I have hit 4 or 5 ducks in my whole career haha but not any more haha I never was all that hot out there in the lake, but its cuz I never had the beneli out there, you have to use benelis that have camoflauge, yep that’s my excuse. and if you should start reading the book of mormon and read like 3 times before you graduate so you’ll be ready for the mission.
Well love you all work hard and remember your lord
bye
