This is the 6 month retiring of the tie ceremony.

Happy Mother`s day! I had a lot of fun talking to you guys yesterday. It was too short though so maybe next time we`ll do it for like 2 hours or something like that. 

This week was really busy, we had a lot of meetings and activities in the zone to keep us busy all week. I would tell you about the activities we had in the center but I already told you the good part about the transito and the 4 crazy Christians. (Spencer told us the missionaries went to El Centro and set up a table to get some references of people to teach. One of the people who came up to them was a homeless person and a police officer came and kind of walloped on the homeless guy till he left. Then four people came-not together but separately probably to try and argue with the missionaries but ended up arguing with each other while the missionaries sat there silently watching them.) Most of the rest of the time was spent handing out Liahonas (Liahonas are church magazines) and DVDs to people in the street. It was kind of funny because this one guy I talked to was sitting like right behind our table. I talked to him and gave him a Liahona. I guess he didn`t know how to read because I left, he flipped through the pages for a few minutes and then finally put it on his head. It was also funny because my companion was talking to a guy and he got to the part where we ask for their address. The guy was like ¨I live at...at...at I don`t know man I`m still a little bit high. ¨ 

This week was really fun too because I completed 6 months in the mission. We had a tiny fiesta the 5th of May because I completed 6 months on the 4th and my companion 21 months on the 6th so we split it down the middle. I call it a party but it lasted more like 10 minutes and it really just involved us eating our 10 peso cookies and talking. Then I had to report and I was too tired to stay up. 

Speaking of the Devil and where he lives, it has gotten really hot. We have a bunk bed but we ended up taking the matrieses...mattresses (¿How is this dumb word spelled?) off our beds and moved them to the floor in the study area. That kind of worked but I`m still toast.

Well that`s about it. But I have a question. Our District Leaders want to know what activity we can do as missionaries in the ward or ward activities that are dirt cheap.

Bueno, So this week was a bit crazy. We did a lot of contacting in the streets. It mostly went like this.

Elder where are we going? 

Los ojitos. 

To do what? 

Have an awesome lesson!

Ok.

So then we get to Los Ojitos or Morelos and we get shut down so then it´s like:

Elder what are we going to do?

I don´t know.

Ok.

Let´s go contact.

Ok.

Which half of the mountain do we want to walk on to contact?

I don´t know.

Me neither.

And then we finally choose somewhere to contact. 

So that was about half of our week. Yesterday was a lot different. I wouldn´t say it was funny but it was a lot more busy. So Saturday night I get a phone call from the zone leaders asking if I could help out some other elders in the zone finish their referencias. Ok sure. So We took a business trip to Mauricio Corredor. It´s the area where it has the big words on the mountain. 

It was really crazy because it wasn´t planned very good. Just about everything that could go wrong did. Basically we showed up late and left late. But we’re back now which is all good.

I think that was about it.

Sorry, I have to be quick about this. There is just always so much to do on P-days. 

This week we had a fun time painting the chapel. I was supposed to be a ward activity but it turned out to be a missionary thing with the stake. I´m not really complaining because we got to chill with all of my old companions and eat hamburgers from the bishop. 

I had divisions which was really fun. My district leader is from El Salvador. He always tells me that but I don´t really see the big deal because I´m from the savior too. The best part was when in the middle of the night he bumped the wall and the white board on the other side fell down and gave me a heart attack. 

We had a future missionary in the ward who got her call. I was rooting for SA but she´s staying stateside and going to the DF to party with the Chilangos. 

None of our investigators made it to church which was annoying. so after church we walked around the city roasting all of our investigators for not coming. The worst part was that they were all there so they have no excuse. We got a less active to come.

Well Folks that´s all the time I have. I hope you have a good week.

Have a great week.
