What's freakin up guys, I told myself that I would never send out an audio recording because I am better at writing things and I also am always super scattered at these things, but thats ok. It got super late and I figured I would sent a quick audio because honestly lots of crazy things happened. So lots of lots of crazy things, usually I don't like to go through every thing, like daily Stuff.
I wanted to start out with a crazy little exchange I had on Tuesday. We came up to Durango on Sunday, and on Monday of last week me and another Elder went to a place called Jump Jump Durango and we just jumped on the trampoline just the two of us for and hour and a half. It was awesome. Very random but it was cool. On Tuesday we had a crazy exchange. I was in a different area. I was journaling about it the other day. And I just thought, "Wow, I'm in Mexico." It was something that felt normal at the time but something I look back on I think wow thats crazy. It says, "We had a few lessons but we couldn't do too much normal missionary work. At food time we went to a family house. We got stuck between some super awkward marriage problems with crying kids. The one legged step dad left angrily and the mom had to go to her chemo appointment. So we were left to cook some sort of chicken soup for the kids. As we were in the process of boiling the frozen chicken we ran out of gas. Having no idea what else to do we just put a lid on the pot and called Arizona's Pizza and played Monopoly Deal with the kids. Fun Stuff." But after that we got to the lunch like 3 hours late. So I honestly just couldn't believe that really any of that happened. Like it just seemed normal in the time, "oh yeah theres this one legged dad going around that's really upset," but yeah, kinda crazy.
We had a sweet zone conference. Me and Elder Licona ended up getting to our area Vicente Guerrero really late at night. We were an hour and a half late to the branch family home evening that we planned out. Turned out that no one came. That didn't matter because we watched Johnny Lingo for a bit so that was sweet.
Friday we had a sweet baptism. We baptized Kayla, freakin slam dunked her into that water. It was in the house of her grandfather who has a little concrete pool thing and so it was awesome. Super spiritual stuff, the water was super cold but Kayla the 9 year old girl was an awesome sport. Even though it was cold she got right in and was all, "Alright I am ready to be baptized." So I baptized her and after that we had a little birthday party for her too because it was also her birthday. That was awesome.
Sunday when we went to confirm Kayla my companion confirmed her. When we finished she started crying. She went and hugged her grandpa. She wouldn't let go, she was hugging her grandpa for probably 30 seconds and when she pulled away she hugged all of us too. It was pretty powerful. Awesome spirit stuff. She's going places that little girl.
Another crazy thing on Saturday we got the transfer news after just being in Vicente Guerrero for one transfer I got moved here to Madero, back to Durango, its a neighbor of the area I was in for 5 transfers, like 8 months. So I'm stoked to be here. I think I was a missionary here in Madero for like 3 days. This place is sweet. We live in a third floor apartment, freakin bougie out here. We have a washing machine!
P day was sweet. We had a super awesome bonding moment with Elder Licona. He is going back to Vicente Guerrero to be with a person who just barely finished his training and he's gonna finish his training. It is looking pretty rough there so I'm nervous to see how they'll do. But they'll do awesome, they'll do great. I believe in them. And it's also not my problem anymore. It'll be cool.
Apart from that things have been going little by little, poco poquito. Love you guys a ton. If you guys ever need anything let me know. I'm always here for you and all that classic missionary stuff. Those of you that always send me emails you're the best!
(speaking to companion in Spanish) Oh, also for all of you missionaries that want to hack the system. My companion knows a place on google maps called "meme lake". You go to Meme Lake and there is just lots of memes. Maybe we will use it, I don't think I will. I don't know. That was just a fun little easter egg that I didn't know could work. So if you missionaries listened to this the entire time then theres your little reward. Love you guys a ton I'm gonna go to bed or something like that, Peace out b town.
