cinco de mayo isnt realy a big deal at all. its probibly bigger in the states. may 3rd, day of the holy cross, was bigger. there were fire works and stuff. but nothing today on the 5th.
i need to work on being a better people person also. my companion is the best people person i know and im worried for when he leaves, i wont know how to deal with stuff. hes almost deffinatly leaving this nex week. we havnt had alot of succes together, im not realy sure why, because we work hard and hes a great missionary, but thats how it goes. the one lady, fransisca probibly cant get baptised within this next week or two. she and her husband decided that they are going to try to work together and get along. and then thell get married. so it mught be a little while until we can baptise her. theve had relationship problems as long as theve known each other, but the gospel is changing them both. and hecter, an investigator who we droped because he couldnt stop smoking, went to the doctor and the doctor said that hes going to die of heart problems if he doesnt stop smoking. the last we heard, he hadnt smoked in a while and we should baptise him this saturday.
i forgot about the borrowing the car part of the story. a few times people have tried to say that the only reason im mormon is that my parents are. i like being able to say that you are converts and that i choose to follow your exaples, or at least try.
im glad to hear that you are trying to get maine swimming on saturdays. someday, youll have succes.
