im still a mcCain man but i dont have any news and i am not realy informed right now. yea get me a bumper sticker. ill save it. oh the pouch has new rules. they only accept letters that are on one peice of paper and folded in thirds, taped on the long side and with the adress on the outside. but im 6 hours from the mission home so i only can get letters at zone confrences.
so i just realised that i have been on my mission for 3 months. that is incredible. i cannot beleive it. can you? i bet your lesson went better then mine usualy go. my comp is a great missionary, but my spanish is not very good. though i can understand almost everything, many times i dont have the vocabulary to say what i want to and somtimes i try saying things that are to hard and i just confuse people. but i have not yet said that "i know these houses are true" yet so im doing great. we have 2 baptismal dates and we are realy close with alot of others. i love teaching progressing investigators that want to grow spiritualy and are willing to lear from us. its way exciting. i decided to to be optomistic always and im it makes things way better. sufficient is the evil unto the day there of. complaining and being negative just makes it worse. try sending pictures. i think i could even print them off here. i think dad should run for govenor too. i cant beleive that sam did a 101 fly. its incredible. i wish i had started realy swimming and training sooner. oh well. we walk tons and tons. the other day i said to my companion that it was getting hot and i was sweating alot. he looked at me and reminded me that it is only january. i almost cried. its buitiful though.
there is a realy rich member that lives in our zone, and the whole zone was invited over for the p day. we played socar with the mexicans. im not bad. i should have played that too. it was way fun. he had a realy nice house with gaurd dogs and cheffs and stuff. and an awsome out door grill. it was odd going from the poorest houses in the world, filthy dirty tiny and dark. 10 ft by 15 ft shacks with leaky roofs and held together with wire to that. i wouldnt be happy living like that but it was cool playing pool and socar there today. he had a nice pool that was realy tempting in the hot sun but we resisted.
im the only one in my house that works out every morning. thenthey all complain they are getting fat. i might actualy be gaining more muscule because ive never realy just worked out muscules. its always been swiming and biking and stuff. and i jump rope witch is a good work out.
yesterday we ate at this sisters house. she gave us this realy good mexican style spageti. i finished, and i was thinking, i had enough food but it might be a good idea to ask for another pate so i wouldnt have to eat that night. i finished that plate and she started brining out even bigger plates of rice chicken, salad and home made torillas. i almost cried. then when i was about half way though with that, she started bringing out the ice cream. most meals arent like that but it still would be easy to gain weight.
hey i heard the stock market crashed real bad? do i have a mutual fund yet?
im realy happy. things are going well. we are helping a guy named hector quit smoking. then we are going to baptise him. hes a realy cool guy i like him alot. hes got potential. keep me updated. adios. love you mom ben
