Crazy Cool Week

So this week went by pretty fast, and I would imagine it is because of how hard we are working and because you never have 2 seconds of free time as Zone Leader.  Its not something I would ask for to be, but it is teaching me sooooooo much and I really love that!

So last week one of the investigators of Elder Garcia and I from Alamo, MOVED INTO MY AREA, so we got with her super quick and were able to baptize her YESTERDAY, she is really cool because she cooks really really delicious tacos and always was feeding Elder Rojas and I, plus we started with 3 other members of her family that already lived here and they are really excited to be baptized.  

So that was one of the many tender mercies of the Lord.

So this week we finished and Poza Rica ended up having the most baptisms that any other zone and had broke the 20 barrier that nobody had done since I arrived.  Which was really tough for President because the mission was the number 1 baptizing at the start of 2015, so he is really excited that we are moving forward again.  He gave us a call this morning and was very pleased with the work we are doing.  

I like going out on divisions and seeing the other areas and working with all the missionaries too, everybody teaches me a lot, and it is really cool to teach people outside of your normal investigators.  

Elder Rojas is super cool, we get a long very well and I dont think that I have ever taught as well with another companion in all of my mission... since I´ve had five companions.  

So it is weird this relaxed life... like... im not all uptight and stiff anymore.  I feel like i had been living 19 years of my life looking through some weird lense, because,  wheeeewwwwwww, its a lot cooler to be relaxed and not worrying about silly stuff anymore.  I´m very thankful that the mission has taught me how to unwind a little bit, but still be effective.

The weather here... right now is literally like california, like I said last week. Here in a week or so it is suppose to hit like 100 degrees with 100% humidity and Im sure Ill be dying but as of right now... Im enjoying it.  

So I read the Pearl of Great Price for the second time and I gotta tell ya... Enoc is a total boss, he is tje bar when it comes to setting a goal for ones spirituality and testimony.   

So thats about it, thanks for all the emails.  

I hope everyone is doing good. Love you all.
