March 1

Hey !!!! so this week was really really awesome !!! we baptized a lady this saturday who is dynamite!!!! she seriously has read like half the book of mormon already and has filled like half a notebook with notes and questions and stuff... she is so awesome... so yeah that was awesome! in church Sunday we had an amazing attendance again! 150 ! the ward is growing and growing... we were kinda bummed because some of our investigators didn´t show, but a couple of our really good ones did... but, so goes the mission... you find a huge group of investigators, weed out the bad ones, keep the good, and find more... and then do it all over again... so yeah nothing too exciting this week as far as dangerous or life threatening.. haha boring... but there were these two old couples that came to church here on vacation that are from PG!!!! they said they are in the grove creek 1st ward and that our name sounds familiar!!!! so that was really cool... its really hard for me to speak to americans in english because yeah I mean there are people here that speak a little english and I also speak english with my comp, but its all spanglish... plus the americans have such a thick accent, its crazy!!! its hard for me to kick back into it and have a conversation with them! haha we also had our interviews with the president on friday... it was really cool and something really crazy happened!! he told me and our comp what our next changes are for the next change and they aren´t for another five weeks!!! haha he said that my comp is definitely leaving..( he will have been here seven and a half months at the end of this change), and plus he only has two changes left after this one !!! he also told me that i will definitely be senior comp next change... haha he told me it and I said that I didnt feel ready... he said, Too bad!!! you better work hard to get ready in this change then becuase you are moving up! so that is pretty scary but cool at the same time!!!
Now for.. CHICHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my heck chichen itza was so amazing... its like everything you imagine and see in the pictures but even cooler!!! most people think its just the one big pyramid but its actually so much cooler!!! its like a whole city of ruins.... including, governers house, baptism font, astronomy, house of the governer, house of the 3 brothers, and tons of others... there is also an ancient like basket ball court where they played this crazy game where they had to get this little ball through a hoop that is like twenty feet up in the air without using their hands !!! crazy!!! I will send as many photos as I can!!! It was really awesome!!!
All is well here, and I hope all is good with you at home!!! Write me!!!
