Monday, September 12, 2011

1/3 of the way to toward his brown belt.

So here are your questions for this week:

So what does chambones mean?
what are some of the words that are different from what we say in Mex?
Do you remember much from what I used to say to you in spanish?
Did you get to make cheesecake?
What's your favorite meal there so far?
Is there anything you really miss from home (food wise)?
Have you had any baptisms? if so, what are their names?
How many missionaries in your area?
Do you get to do much with them?
Who have you gotten to know and what are their names?

Well chambon means lazy but like a type of person (el es un chambon) Tambien hay diferentes maneras utilizar como estoy chamboinando. No hay mucho que puedo recodar que es diferente enter los dos pero solo casi todos usan vos no vosotros es un manera hablar en tu, con personas que no tienen respeto. Como dude or bro I would think in enlish. the stuff you used to say to me alot yes i remember i ask my comp some times and he would say man your mom was mad at you. Haha I did not get to make the cheese cake but maybr tomorrow I was talking about this today and by far i would say i miss chinese food in general its just not popular what i would do for a bowl of orange chicken. Here my favorite meal has been this chicken with some rice and a type of cream that is good. No mor baptisms still as of the last ones we had like a month ago the problem right now is getting people to church. An area is defined as a place were one companionship is assigned. A district has anywhere from 2 to 5 companionships next is a zone which here is usually a stake. there are 9 zones in our mission and three regions cost capitol and moutain. We see other missionaries at least once a week in district meeting there is divisions aswell where we trade with the district leader or zone leaders. and we sometimes get together on pdays. I know almost everyone in the zone and its sweet to see them. at least in the district here are the missionaries my comp e rivas belize, E johnson arizona, e carlson oregon, e lontine colorado e pelicò guatemala e adams arizona e merche el salvador. Yea this week was great i sent you an email but aparetly something went wrong so this is a copmpolation of both. One thing i have learned this week and can say for a certanty i sI kno wthat my redemer lives. Its very wierd to think about the person i was before but i guess that is just time in the missh. One thing we talked about as copms was obedience he said that some missionaries wernt liked because of how fletch they were i was thinking that is what i want to be not necessarily disliked but known as an obidient missionary. Her you really put priorities where thay are supposed to be the important things in life. Because when you are trying to ask some one to change thier life its hard if i dont think and live the same way as iam teaching during and after the mission. Alright mom thanks for everything just about out of time but I love you and talk to you next week


To Dad:

Thanks Dad for the advice always welcome and yea sometimes time gets away from you when you are writting. Here is amazing we still havent had any more baptisms but one thing i have learned is pacience and hope and faith. W efind a bunch of people but the interesting part is getting them to church. Thats great to here about the family staying busy. One thing i can saw with out doubt is that i have a father in heaven and his son came here to atone for my sins i basically said that everyday but the other day i was studying and it just hit me like a ton of bricks. That same day all i wrote in my study journal was I know that my redemer lives. You have a lot more power in testimony evertime you bear it. That is one experience i had on the other hand they say that you arent a true guat missionary untill you poop you pant 3 times well you can scratch one off. Love you dad and i will talk to ya next week.
