1. What do you do to work out?
2. Do you eat at members' homes? 3. What are you eating? 4. How is the Spanish coming along?]
Bet you were sad that I didnt´send an email this
monday...because our P-day was today because fuimos al TEMPLO! I have pictures,
but I´m at a different Ciber so I won´t send them this week.
ok:
1. There used to be a jump rope, I broke it.
Need to buy one next monday, it was useful. I usually do core, push ups, tricep
dips, jumping squats with some giant cinder block, more leg stuff with two
giant cinder block sticks, and I use the stretchy band. I really just try to
get up and start working out asap until 7. It´s hard to actually break a sweat,
i´m trying to find a way to do it.
2-3. mexico, the biggest meal is lunch. We eat
at 2pm with a member. I´ve always had tortillas, and I've had stuff like spicy
soups, uhhh I don´t know the names of things, various meats, beans, rice, other
stuff, and mole (yuck,hahah) I haven´t had any fruits yet, but I´m going to buy
bananas. There isn´t a lot of fruit here and it´s hard to eat healthy on your
own time. I´ve probably had a little bit too much meat in the past few weeks
though (it´s reallllly good though).
also, the weather right now is CRAZY! one day
it´s super cold, the next day it´s hot. this time of the year the weather in
monterrey just changes whenever. one day it was raining so much, and since the
roads aren't well constructed, the roads were rivers and I was using my
umbrella to protect us from the buses flying through these ´¨rivers¨ then it
got hot and then it got cold and then it got hot and...
4. All of the latin missionaries say that I
speak really well for only being out for this long. The two gueros
(whities/gringos) say that I speak super well two for a 3 wk mexico missionary,
so does the Stake president and a lot of others. The motivation helps, but
remember I was an impatient person before my mission so this is pretty
challenging. I think it´s doing well though and I´m trying to speak spanish as
much as possible with my comp.
ok here´s some investigator stuff:
right now our goal for the change(transfer) is
to have 5 baptisms and 4 confirmations(since they have to wait a week for
confirmation) and right now we have...5 baptismal dates planned! I want to talk
about O a little bit again, he´s getting baptized next tuesday. Also, he
has a good buddy in the church who is just a year younger than him and he is
isn't a recent convert family(baptized this past january.) It´s exciting because
we´re going to have his friend´s dad baptize him! It´s super good because it´ll
give O some support in the church, and since the recent convert family
hasn{t been super active, it´ll give them some responsiblity. They´ve actually
been pretty active though in the past couple weeks which is awesome! and we´re
going to help them start having family home evenings this monday and...O will be there! O is super smart because he is quick to understand the
gospel and such...and he makes sure to ask questions when he´s confused! super
bien! also, we taught him how to say ¨the book of mormon is true¨and ¨joseph
smith was a prophet of god
anyway, I only have time to tell you about one
other investigator. He is a father in an all member family, except for him.
He´s been investigating¨the church for 14 years. He hasn´t had a problem with
alcohol, but he would go drink with friends. So far, he hasn´t touched alcohol
for almost 4 weeks, and he´s going to get baptized in two weeks! It´s super
awesome and his family is super excited! We´ve talked to him about how we can
recieve the priesthood and bless his family with it, and we´re planning on
talking to the whole family about being sealed in the temple after he´s
baptized and has been a member for a year.
Also,
I don´t drink a lot of soda, that was just a
picture, we drank that soda in about a week and a half. the nice thing is
though that a lot of stores just have a lot of bottle caps I can have. Also,
Hermano P (The 14 year investigator) has been getting teeth pulled
recently, so what motivation is that to brush every day!!! Don´t worry mom, I´ve
brushed my teeth thouroghly every day since I got to the MTC, flossing is
improving, somethimes I forget.
Also, if you can send me music via email, I´m
aloud to download it. If you can figure it out then Awesome! If not then it´s
ok. but if you do, i´d request that you send the Christmas album of Canadian
Brass, and Fantasia 2000 (I have the original 1944 fantasia)
If I forgot anything, you´ll hear it on monday!
I love you guys!
Davis
oh yea! one last thing! Guess who is the pianist
for the ward!?
[Davis was the pianist in the spanish-speaking unit's sacrament meeting at church for a while in high school even though he hadn't played piano for a couple of years...)
