Nothing really exciting has happened here. Elder Mejia are still getting along, we played Chubby Bunny last night with huge costco marshmallows, he won with only 2 marshmallows. You already know that I am weak sauce for that kind of stuff. Transfers will be this Sunday, so we are working pretty hard to have some baptisms in August. This week sucked, it was hard. Nobody was in their house and that was even when we made appointments with them. I dont know if I have told you guys about our investigators Andres and Rebecca.

They are not really investigators but they are. It is complicated. They are more or less like little kids who always think they are right and lie. A lot. In my history of being here in Leon in total I have made 2 appointments with them every week. I have had 6 lessons with them in 4 1/2 months. 6/18 appointments they were there.We have left them a number of times but they always beg us to come back. We looked at their teaching record and they have been taught for 5 years by the missionaries! And every single one of them have left behind comments about Andres and Rebecca, pretty much venting all their anger on the page. We left them once and for all and joined a long history of missionaries in the comments section. 

Elder Mejia and I are still getting along great and today we got permission to see Big Hero 6 from president, so that was pretty cool! But Kevin just sent me a list of all the movies I have to see that I missed, so, I can see that I am lacking. hahaha but we enjoyed it. We ordered papa johns and watched it in the church. This week had a good ending.

Heyo!

Well, this week was quite legit if I may say so myself. We had a baptism, played football p day, and the rain was so hard that all the streets flooded and we had to walk through them to an interview, so I felt like a missionary!! Elder Mejia and I are still getting along great, we just went to Costco and bought some Martinellis sparkling cider to have a late 4th of July. How was 4th of July there? What did you do? Here nothing happened, obviously. I learned from an investigator that apparently all the national holidays are when it is easier to cross the border since there are less guards, so, I will never use that information.

The baptism went smoothly. Kind of. We asked the investigator if he wanted a member to baptized him and he chose the 1st counselor in the bishopric. Everyone arrived on time. EXCEPT the 1st counselor, hermano Machuka! He got there a half hour late but it all turned out great! Arturo (who got baptized) almost cried a he is a super tough guy! It was pretty awesome to see the Spirit work on him. I got to confirm him and now he is an official member! I am loving it here! 

So that is all that happened, All the photos will explain our situation a bit better :)

Hello! Nothing much to report to you guys, the date for the baptism is still this SATURDAY!!! HAPPY JULY 4TH!!!!!! Independence day, just not for anybody else except for me! But the hermano is named Arturo and he is freaking ready! I am going to be confirming him and the second counselor in the bishopric will be baptizing him! He is already pumped to go to the temple to be sealed with his family! And now, not so good news. The guy we were teaching the rehabilitation center got let out, and he smoked Marijuana within the first 2 days. All that work for nothing. he got put into another center and we are going to see if we are even going to visit him. That sucks.

Another thing that happened is that we got another investigator named Enrique. He is an older guy and feels super alone. We are teaching him so he can hopefully feel better in his life! We are playing soccer almost every monday now, and I am improving marginally! Still occasionally kick myself in the face with the ball but I am sure that it's normal! Nothing more to report, love you guys, miss you and pray for you every night!!

Well mom, I am sorry you can't always have your favorite child with you, the struggle is real. hahahaha but I am glad that Cole is going to EFY. A good looking guy like himself should definitely get a C.O.W. within in the first day, so no problem with that challenge! And it is great that Hermana Green stopped by again, she is really great. 

About the new comp, it is going really good. It just took a little bit of adjusting because it had been 3 months since I was with a latino. But we are working really hard. We have our whole week full of appointments. Of course, we did work hard, but it is weird. Its like we work hard and nothing happens. Then when we least expect it, some guy contacts us in the street and says he wants to learn more. It is amazing to witness all this first hand. We are barely doing anything in the grand scheme of things. All we do is let the Spirit work in them and it will all turn out good. We are teaching really well together and we are winning over all the members. We have a good relationship with almost every single one of them. They love helping us but almost none of them have friends outside of church, only in the church. So that means almost no references.

We just finished doing somethings together as a zone, so today was pretty fun. We visited the Expiatorio again, it was the first time for a lot of them, so they all were pretty freaked out. It was pretty funny to watch. I have the most time here in the zone and I feel like an old timer. I love you guys, miss you, say hi to Hermana Green for me and Peace Out!

Hola Momacita!!

My new comp is pretty cool, He is from El Salvador (insanely dangerous), and he has 15 months in the mission. He is a great missionary, super obedient and wants to work hard. We are getting along quite well, and working hard. The next baptism we have is for the 4th of July, so it will be a small holiday for me! I miss Elder May a bit but I know he is enjoying Queretaro. And please thank Hermana Green for me again!!! As for the homecoming talk, I still got 16 months Momma! But I would love to give my homecoming talk in Lakeview Trails. As for Cole, all that is going to work out fine. It happened to me and I like to think I turned out alright! 

Elder Mejia and I are contacting a freak ton and getting rejected as well! But we laugh about it. If we dont laugh, we will just turn depressed. So it is good to laugh at failed attempts. The work here is pretty good, we just can't go into a lot of neighborhoods because they are dangerous. Still haven't been robbed again as I learned the area very well after we got assaulted! But nothing else to report, I love you guys a ton, forgot my adapter for the camera so no photos but love you guys and I miss you tons!

So we got transfers!!!!!!! Elder May is going to be zone leader in queretaro and I will be staying here! I am going to be recieving an elder named Elder Mecilla. Only one problem. he doesnt show up as a missionary on the list. So we are pretty sure the  zone leaders wrote the name down wrong or something. The crazy part is that Elder May has to leave in one hour to queretaro for some zone leader training!! So it is going to be a short one. I have to get off right now! I love you and I hope that I can finish writing you guys a bit later, and answer all your questions!! But if I dont, you know whats up! I love guys!!

Love
