Hey Family,
Well here we are my second week in Mexico and it has been pretty crazy. I tell you what, but it has been awesome too. Rigo our musical investigator has been advancing a lot and before the lesson about the restoration he had prayed to know if the church was true and he asked us what we felt when we prayed about the church. I told him that I felt a peace and a happiness in my life and I just knew that it was right. My companion said about the same thing and then Rigo said I felt the same when I prayed whaaaa! It was awesome. Then the next lesson with him and his future wife and his cousin, he told his cousin "I know this, church is true. I know it". Yeah, his cousin is taking the lessons now too. They are set to be baptized on the 13, I think, but they need the lessons and marriage first... so we will have to wait and see. They came to church this sunday though, so that was great.
Also an older couple Luis y Juana they are pretty awesome really smart and believe everything. We have a date for them too and they also attended church! It was awesome!!
My spanish is getting better but I am struggling at times. Haha, it takes a lot of work but I am stoked about how much I am learning. haha my favorite food here has been all of it, but I dont think that the food here likes me very much. haha But I still just keep eating. Oh and emma might win 10 bucks because tortillas are really fattening and I eats lots of them. But then again I sweat a lot, and I mean A LOT everyday. haha My shirts are usually drenched. It is awesome.
There are a few things that I need if you could send them in a package or in separate packages over time. I need, pictures of the family, micro towels, letters, and some tennis shoes from DI because mine got holes in them after the first lunes of soccer. haha But this morning I scored three goals on mexicans. Whats up!
I lied mexico is nothing compared to Whittier. haha Its a lot more ghetto. I go to different houses everyday and think to myself wow my house in the mission and in utah are so much better I have been so blessed in my life it is unreal but I am glad I am here and helping people. I could not be happier.
Well I don't know what else to say. hmmmm...well my pictures are of my shoes before the day begins and at the end of the day. And the lizards that live in my apartments and the street I walk every day. haha This place is beautiful. I just wish people didn't throw trash and stuff all over the place. I will work on taking more pictures this next week so that I have something cool to send.
Oh, today I go for a six hour drive to Xalapa to get my visa stuff tomorrow and then another six hour drive back tomorrow night so I am gonna miss a lot of our visits which is kind of a bummer.
Family, I love you and I love to hear your stories. Oh and Maria, sorry I missed your birthday I will take a picture of something cool for you here as your present but thats as good as it is gonna get haha. I want you to know how much I love talking about you haha every single visit people see the picture that I have of you in my scriptures I carry it with me every where. Love you all and have a great week!
With Love,
Elder Monsivais
