Elder Andrew Basile: WHAT A WEEK

First off, wow sorry I didnt email yesterday there was an emergency with the Hermanas and we were sent to escort them to Xalapa, so we didnt have P-Day it was more like policeman day... I dont know that probably sounds weird.

So I shouldnt really give very many details but one of the Hermanas (Hma. A) called the President about something that the Hma. B did and that escalated to them yelling and screaming at each other and scaring all the member neighbors.

One of the two of the older women members came running over screaming "¡AYYYE LA HERMANA ES POSESIVA POR EL DIABLO!" And then while they were explaining to us that Satanas was attacking the house of the Hmas we got a call to run over to the Hmas house to take control of the situation.

And it is a good thing we got there when we did because when we got there one of the hmas was threatening to attack the other.

Needless to say we "Detained" Both of the Hmas and separated them and took them to Poza Rica where they were escorted to Xalapa by two different companionships of hmas.

I wish I could explain more in detail but I shouldnt.

So today is P-Day! woohoo. kindof.

Elder Campos sent this to me today.

Amigo ayer se bautizó Adán Lucero y su familia, el presidente estebo ahí y discurso bien chido planchando a los miembros, en otras palabras, recordarles su deber, cuando Adán compartió su testimonio le misiono a usted ya mi, que el Señor nos puso en su camino como respuesta a sus oraciones, y que fuimos el medio para cambiar su vida, y mejoro su relación con su esposa ya que estaban a punto de separarse... Yo se que ellos le aman.

He is talking about the marriage and baptism of the family of Adan in Tezuitlan, that this week they were baptized and Adan bore his testimony to the ward about how we found him at a pivotal point in his life where he was on the edge of divorce, and how Elder Campos and I were able to change their lives and improve their relationship. But we all know that Elder Campos and I didnt change their lives.. The gospel of JESUS CHRIST changed their lives for the better.

You guys cannot understand what this means to me. I just want to cry. This family meant so much to me and to leave them behind for a different area crushed me. But to hear about his testimony and how good they are doing and how I was at least able to be apart of his conversion just means so much.

Soooo... I finished the Book Of Mormon guys... que chido que chido. It only took me two and a half months. HAH here on the mission a person can probably finish in about a month.

Everything is good. We have found a family of GOLD! And they are progressing well. Except I basically teach everything because besides the first discussion my comp doesnt know how to teach the other lessons so all he does is confuse the investigators and I have to go back and clean up his mess.

But its irritating that he wont study.. Ever. Aww, well I guess Ill just keep pressing forward and encouraging him and hope that he will change his mind.

Sorry again about yesterday. I love you all and thanks for the emails!!!

So I met a crocodile the other day at an investigator´s house!!

This Helicopter bush at that same investigator´s house

This tree is cool there arent a lot of things like that in the states

So this Army of ants is cool there are a lot of ant colonies like this here they are huge tooo!

Sometimes we just stand up on things and start preaching repentence unto the multitudes... haha Jk but we thought it would be funny to take a picture like that.

I saw this hat and I'm not really into flat brimmed hats like this but I baught it because I thought it was really cool. Probably will never wear it but it will be cool memorabilia.

What little apple orchards look like after many years.
