the pictures from your blog are so cool. it makes me miss home and free time to go play, but this is way better. in a few hours im goingto gaudalajara, mirador, im going as senor companion. im excited. a little nervous. im not sure if my spanish is good enough. congragulate sam for the open water swim. i cant imagine the bike trip happening and me not going. i would love to ride a bike, but no one in our mission has bikes. i think most of mexico is on foot.im sad to leave. we had a baptism sunday and one saturday. then sunday we went to visit converts. it was kind of sad. but ive been asking the lord to prepare a family in my next area, i have never baptised a family and i want to baptise them before i finish a year so that i can see their sealing before i go home. that is my goal.its funny that some one asked how it was teachiung all those cathlics. they are the best to teach, you just need to know how to do it. if your to direct they think that we are insulting them and their ancestors. so you have to be sneakier like ammon with king lamoni. if people ask us if we beleive in the virgin of talpa, we say that we beleive in the virgin mary and we respect her alot. but we dont worship her. and if we invite them to get baptised and they say that they are already baptised, we say "when you were baptised you received a name right? the father said i baptise you with this name..... but this baptism is different. it wont take away your other baptism, it will just take away your sins and open the door to live with god after this life"well i love you, next week ill let you know how my new area is.loveben
