I wasn't forgotten after all!

Well, I officially consider myself bombarded! THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE EMAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ESO ES!!!!!(español)
Oh about the finances, I bought a shirt and pants last week and I ordered extra garments because I was rather lacking in those areas so that accounts for about 150 bucks of that spending. And I already resolved before that to start being more careful about my finances, and before that, the mission gave me the wrong PIN so I had to spend from my own money. So yeah, Im gonna start being more responsible.

Entonces....This week FLEW BY!!!!!! Oh, if I didnt mention this in my last email, Im the only american in my district now, and 1 of 3 in my zone. So, next week I´ll send a photo (it will be kind of a where´s waldo kind of photo....) But the baptism streak broke because our investigator Pablo, (we baptized his wife in july) knows the church is true, has stopped drinking coffee, got married, but HES TOO DANG SCARED OF SETTING A DANG BAPTISM DATE!!!! Weve literally taught him everything at least twice to him.

Ugh, Sunday was the WORST!!!! For 3/4 of sacrament meeting, we had ZERO investigators there. But then 1 came after that. But even so, 1 is a TERRIBLE number. This is one of those moments when nathan would say I HATE MEXICANS!!!! Because we had 10 committed to coming, but only one showed up. Oh, and only 2 of our recent converts showed up as well. Were gonna have a lot of recent convert lessons this week.

Oh but the mission, has soooooo many spiritual experiences, its just awesome. Especially when you see someone absolutly change their life to come to the gospel. Oh I finished the book Jesus the Christ a couple of weeks ago. I took about 15 days to read it. Its amazing. I highly reccommend it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe they will be 3 when I get home!

My companion really expects a lot from me. He fully expects me to become an assistant to the mission president before my mission is over. And for that reason he wont take it easy on me. He won´t let me make excuses to not improve. He is really helping me to grow as a person. Oh that reminds me, the mission president expects a lot of me too. I didnt tell you all this earlier, because I didn´t want to sound prideful, but he told me in my first interview with him, "I don´t know you, I don´t know hardly anything about you, but I feel impressed to tell you, that you will be one of the best missionaries in this entire mission. As I said, I feel impressed by the spirit to tell you that." I still cant believe it. I have super high expectations from others around me. I really hope that I will be stregnthened by the spirit to fufill those expectations.

Thanks for the sports updates. AHHHHHHHH SOOOO EXCITING!!!! (if you could embed highlights in next week´s email I would be eternally grateful....) That will be a hard part for me. I love sports!!!!! Oh and speaking of which, I´m terrible at fútbol (soccer). But I did score a goal today, but Im still terrible.

Oh, I didnt hear about the hurricane, I dont hear of any news here, literally. A nuke could go off and I wouldnt know about it.

But thanks for everything, I really hope I get your packages tonight. Every week I think "oh Im finally gonna get them tonight" then I dont.
THANK YOU I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
