7/9/2012         “Called as Zone Leader”



Family,

   Sorry, that I don’t know my area yet, because we hardly work in this area.We travel soooo much and never have much time here. I like it a lot here, but like I said, I haven’t really had enough time to get to know this place.

  I got a letter that said my mission will be ending the 3rd of January.
Don’t worry about my shoes Momma. My shoes will last me until the end. I don’t know how but they will. Ha ha and yes, I got the package. Thanks momma:)

   Things are great. My companion is great and teaches me a lot.  We do go tracting but, this week we had meeting with President in Leon then went
to a Pueblo that is a city 3 hours away. We went there to work with the elders over there.

  I rode a bike for the first time in a long time. haha I am kind of out of shape. Our President talks to us a lot and has us plan things for the zone.
Ok well, this week went by really, really fast. I didn’t have time to do anything really.I got in my area and got unpacked. I have never been as tired in the entire mission as I was in that week. It was rough because, the morning of the transfers I woke up at 5:30 am and then I got here Monday and that morning we worked really hard. Then I woke up again at 5:30 am to take an elder to Leon so, he could pick up his new companion. Then the next day we went to Leon again for a meeting...it was a great meeting but, I was pretty dead tired after we got home. That was a long day.
 In the morning we went and traveled into a
pueblito.(village)..It was 3 hours away from my area.We had to go there because; the elders are in my zone. So, we went there and its one of the only areas that has bikes...so, I rode a bike the whole time. It was kind a fun but, I about died. I have a lot to work on when I get back. I have gotten skinny. I weigh only 190......not too good is it? But, I can still throw the ball really well. I have gotten a ton better. I am throwing everyday and I am working out with a better plan and everything, so I should be getting bulked up a bit.  I am going to buy more proteina (protein powder) so we will see how it works.

Our house is pretty cool. Its two stories and we are living as 4 misioneros(missionaries). I like it a lot. But my barrio(neighborhood) is a beast. It all organized.
 We are really working hard. We have like 200 people in the ward. I know that might not sound like a ton but for México it is. But in the noche(night) we are going to have a noche de hogar (Family Home Evening)and put a fecha(date) so, we will be having a bautismo(baptism) very soon.  I am glad Patrick is doing better.


 "WE ARE NOTHING IN THE MISSION. THE SPIRIT GUIDES US AND TELLS US WHAT TO SAY… SO, WE CAN’T SAY WE DID THIS… OR I DID THAT...THE LORD DOES IT ALL".  When we
 think “ I did it (or) we did it” we deny what the Lord realmente(really) does for us.

    I’m having fun. My Spanish is much better.  I had to adjust myself again, because I don’t like speaking English and with Elder Carr I spoke it a lot to help him. I didn’t forget Spanish but, you just forget little things or words when you don’t use it as often. But, he helped me with Spanish and I helped him  with English. He liked to test me with all the words I have written down in my word book...I have a total of 1845 words since the beginning of my mish. And it keeps growing. Ha ha, but it’s a lot of fun.  I hope everything is going great. By the way, Elder Monson, Elder Hadley, and I are all Zone Leaders.. Kind of funny right?

I hope you guys have a great week and
I will talk to you next week.

 I love you all and know that if we keep working hard even though it might be hard.... but, if we keep doing the little things. Dios nos bendice mucho. Yo sè que Èl vive. Sè que nos ama y que quiere que regresemos con Èl para que vivamos en un estado
 de felicidad con nuestras familias. Sigan adelante reconozcan las bendiciones que ya tienen y qye tendran.
Les amo mucho. (God  blesses us greatly. I know that He lives. I know he loves and wants us to return to live in a state of happiness with our families. We need to keep up, to recognize the blessings that we already have and will have. I love you much…….. Alpha
