Im going to make this a quick one cause I have like 10 minutes to write.
Changes came.... I got a really sweet noticia. I got changed AGAIN. Things are crazy and I already have 8 areas in my 16 short months. That means that out of the 14 months that i have in Mexico, i have been in a LOT of places. I can get around the mish pretty easy now cause I`ve been in almost every place except Queretaro.
AND I was really happy to see where I got called to. It`s a zone that i have wanted to be in my whole mission because it is famous for baptizing a lot. Its Ecatepec. AND I got bumped up as a zone leader so it is going to be the best opportunity ever. I have 22 Elders and 2 Hermanas in my zone and it should be a blast. My comp is Elder Francis from Oregon. He`s tight and probably hung out with him before the mish. He was in Helaman halls at BYU when i was and he knows Sarah Hall and Kelcie Beck. He`s a stud and goes home in February. Im stoked.
Not only that but the District leaders in my zone are Elder Christiansen and Elder Farmer (they were in my district in the MTC) AND Elder Graham and Elder Ashcraft are also in my zone (they were also in my district in the MTC) It is crazy and way fun to be together. It will be fun also cause Farmer Christiansen and I are like tight buds in the mish. Next week we are going to climb a huge mountain together. Its going to be a fun change. Oh and Elder Golledge is in my zone too. Its the sweetest zone ever.
My new area has 2 wards. San Cristobal, and Izcalli. We are probably going to baptize like 10 people this next month ``and thats A LOT`` because Elder Francis has a ton of people in teaching. So I was so excited about that.
Also, President called me yesterday and thanked me for what i did with my last district so that gave me a little boost to keep working as hard as possible. In my last district, 2 of the Elders went up as District Leaders and Elder Carrillo and another Elder in my District went up as señor companions. We pretty much all got awesome changes. I was so excited.
We had a lot of people in church as well and had a baptism. Her name is Bertha. I haven`t really mentioned her in my last letters because we never really thought she would progress, but she asked us last week if she could get baptized and asked us what she had to do. We taught her what she needed to know and she had already been to church a bunch so we baptized her yesterday before i left. It was great and next week Elder Carrillo is going to have 5 more baptisms. Im sad i wont be there to see them get baptized (Olga and her 2 kids) (another lady named Rebecca and her son Juan Antonio) Its all good though. I was ready for a change.
Since i have started my mission i have had 2 streaks. 1. I have never been in an area more than 2 changes. and 2. I have gone Mexican, American, Mexican, American with my comps since Elder Memmott in the MTC. I keep the streaks alive.
I was so pumped to hear about Brad too. He is tearin it up. Todd`s team has had some heartbreakers, but I have faith that they will go to the Superbowl (my faith depends on the faith i have in Todd and the Ravens and of the dream of Elder Milham last change)
I loved the pictures that you sent me. I have such a cute fam. I love you all. Tell Brad Copple that the purple California surfer dude shirt is sick. (or you can tell him that it would look better on Talli) haha
Oh and I bought a few new ties with the money that you sent me to buy new shoes. I promise to use the money to buy new shoes, but im going to wait a lil so i can wear my shoes out more. They`re way comfy now that they are all worn in.
Thats all the news for today. Its a lot and i love it. The mission is the best. The church is true. God lives and loves us. Jesus Christ is our Savior and the Redeemer of the world. Families can be together forever. I love my family! Have a great week!
Con amor,
Elder Greg Heap
