Week 18, maybe

So started off with going to the temple late so basically a big waste of my pday. Then we had zone conference which was cool. This rich family made food for the whole zone and so obviously i had to go network a little and now Im headed to go to a steakhouse with this rich dude in just a minute so boom, networking. My back hurts a little from carrying this ward so much, this week I played all the hymns, a special number, and gave another talk so idk what theyre gonna do without me. Doesnt feel like christmas without snow but I do have presents and my christmas tree so we chillin. I wanna stay here another transfer because my fav fam wants to throw me a birthday party with a piñata and presents and cake and everything so cant miss that. 
This week seeing lots of people without family made me realize how blessed I am to have great family and friends every year even if I wont see them for two years. Life is a whole lot better when you finally realize everything that you need to be grateful for and stop wishing for more things. So thats the challenge this season, take some time to be grateful.
Merry Christmas, because im so close to the border they dont even say feliz navidad,

Hey yall not too much time but my new area is huge and we have this little town 30 minutes outside the city that I can see New Mexico from haha. My new companion is a really hard worker and we get along really well. I live in a house separated in two parts so there's really four missionaries there so that's really fun. There's a bunch of work here, we have like six baptismal dates. I went back to Del Real on saturday to dunk one of my oldest investigators. Gtg, go do some service or be nice to someone this week! peace, Smelly out

aight lol this was a v interesting week. First i got my new companion who is sooooo funny. Hes this chubby lil dude that deep fries everything he eats and then never does the dishes hahaha. Some members gave me a big picture of some indian dude in mexico city carrying a woman so im big culture now!! I love mexico bc they shut off our gas even tho we payed our bill so the members recommended just cutting off the padlock on the meter and so we did and now we have gas lol, cant do that in america. I also took a quick vacation to mexico city for my green card, it was super fun to go with my compa from the mtc and we met up with my friends in cancun. I threw away the super important paper that nobody told me to keep so that was almost a problem but a dude from the mtc came and gave me a new one. I got roped into playing piano in sacrament meeting so thats super fun! Yesterday it rained like none other and by the night the streets were literally filled with water up to my knees and ...

Aight yall one transfer in the field over with! Kinda sad because me and my companion finally clicked this week and had a ton of fun but now he's going home to ecuador. I had to give a talk in sacrament meeting lol so that was funny. We can't go out too much because my compa isn't allowed to be in the sun after his surgery so we chill in the house and listen to our neighbors blast banda all day. I went to the temple with my ward which includes my first convert and two other recent converts. My compa went to a session with the mish pres so i was just like a dad explaining everything to my three sons haha. Kinda sad because one of my investigators that was really into the church, going on sundays, reading the BOM all that good stuff got a new job a couple weeks ago that didn't let him go to church anymore, He stopped reading the BOM and then lost his job, he now thinks its because he didn't put the Lord first but i feel bad bc he's having a real rough time rn. I f...
