Hola Familia,
Alright, i dont have much time today to write, but its ok this week was pretty normal. One exciting thing though is that my speaking and teaching skills are really improving. Ive been getting some good practice.
We´re teaching this old guy that is like 85, but looks like 180. He is really funny, but is pretty slow when it comes to understanding the lessons. We have to ask him like 12 times a lesson when his baptism is going to be before he gets it right. The good thing is that I teach all the lessons when we go to visit him. Its such good practice for me. I told Elder Obregon that i want to get better at teaching so he told me to study a different subject or lesson every morning and then i can teach it to Eutimio (the old guy) So, thats going great and its helping a lot. Hopefully Eutimio doesnt die before his baptism cause he seems way ridiculously old. Oh well, we´ll see what happens.
Another funny/gross thing that happened this week was that our drain broke AGAIN... but this time worse. It flooded our house with gross water. Im learning a lot on the mission, how to work, how to cook, and even how to be a plumber! (oh the life of a missionary haha)
Oh! and we got a referencia this last week and it was like way far away. Elder Obregon and I didnt have money to get there so we walked like an hour and a half through the desert. It was awesome haha. The lady is cool and she´s way interested so it was worth the walk. All the scenery and everything is amazing here. I pictured Mexico completely different! I mean we´re in the desert sorta, but there are really cool lush green farms and corn fields that we walk through like everyday. Its a cool experience being here besides the fact of the whole baptizing teaching and learning spanish thing. Everything is going great.
Alright, thats about it from this last week, but this week is going to be sweet. We are going to the temple open house with our branch and investigadors on WEd. and then going as a mision on saturday so im super pumped about that. I love the temple. Hopefully after it gets rededicated we can go through. Maybe as a Christmas present from PRes. Nancollas.... well see´.
Other highlights of this next week.... we should have 3 baptisms.... . and at least 3 or 4 the week after that! We are really starting to see the fruits of our labors and I hope that continues until I have to come home haha...
Thats about it.... I havent had time to read all your letters, but im planning on it! I did catch that the Ravens won and that Brad didnt play at all......Is coach Joseph on drugs? I guess the answer is pretty obvious, but i just thought i´d throw the question out there. Oh and im excited to read the letters from Brad and Alyssa, ill be sure to answer to all of those next week!
Oh! before i forget mother, i need american stamps!!!! Asap por favor! And Dad, dont worry your letters aren´t boring! Im glad everyone is doing great! I pray for all of you every night individually! I love you all so much and thank you so much for your love and support! Ill be sure to send pictures next week, i forgot my cord to hookup my camera to the comp. I have some cool pictures with me and a bunch of lil kids....BE EXCITED!
Con amor,
Elder Greg Heap
