I already have an hour here in the computer so this might ... MIGHT be short. Right... I´m making a list for the ward where they can fill out their name (if they have a book of mormon) and who they gave it too and their address. We´re having alot of help from our branch(s), it´s really good. Well for this week we baptized a kid of 9 years old this last friday out in a little place called Tuxpan, it´s about a half hour bus ride from here. His family is getting back into the swing of things, a little more active, it´s pretty cool! I´m excited for them, we were there and their other son, Oscar, came in the room, and we started talking to him about the saving power of the gospel of Jesus Christ and repentance and how he still had hope, he came to the baptism and I´m yet to know if he went to church yesterday. Saturday morning at 4:30 we went to the church to hitch a bus for THE TEMPLE! Lol, it was great, I love the temple. I received a few blessings there. It was kind of nerve wracking at first. Because we got there and Presidente Saucedo was there. SPeak of the man himself, he was there to interview a few members. THe mission presidentes are in charge of distritos, since we´re not a stake, he interviews the members to see if they´re worthy of temple worship. We got out walked over and shook his hand and then he steps a little ways off and askes me to follow him and said first Ëlder Taylor I´m going to have to ask you to cut your hair¨ Será hecho, lol. Then he added, ¨Only the people in the city are supposed to come to the temple and only with my permission, you shouldn´t have come sin advisarme.¨ Uh... Presidente, I was under the impression that Elder Danielson asked you last week. I believed that you did know. He calls ELder Danielson over and talks for a second. He was going to interview the poeple there and then head out here to check out the house and interview us, but he said that while your here let´s go interview you all now. We did and then we learned that he thought we had just gone the week before and then came again a week later. Oy... lol. Everything worked out in the end. Elder Nichols and I are echando las ganas here. He seems a little sick of me right now, but I´m almost postitive that he´s exhausted. Lol, I want to take a nap so bad right now. I´m going to, go cut the hair and then head out. Now, I´m sorry I´ve taken out almost $100. That won´t happen again. Here´s the catch, We were at the temple and went to 7-11 to buy a few things and I got some sandwiches, well they couldn´t take cards, so I went to the atm and I didn´t have money with me. I didn´t want to pull out... 100 pesos either. And have them charge me 200 usage fee. So I pulled out 500 to use over the next few hou..er, hmm,.... days/weeks. Now, we just got back from Sorianna (Fry´s food and drug) and I bought some bedsheets ($120 pesos) and another 400 pesos of food. And I didn´t bring enough money, lol. I´m good on food though for at least 2 weeks! Breakfast burrito stuff, pancake mix cereal bread and butter and yoghurt and .. man I´m not going to get bored soon. Lol.
OH!! Wow, mom I got the package of the shoes and stuff. Thank you soo much, its perfect todo. The shoes are different then the others, it has a little softspot but it´s thicker and smaller then the others I had. I think they´ll work perfectly, that and Black AND brown, that´s awesome Lol, thank you. I wore those old leather bottomed ones we bought at Men´s Wearhouse, I still use those at church and what have ya´ but now I have two pairs of cool shoes. I tried on the charcoal pants you gave me and if I sit down in them they´ll rip, lol. They´re pretty small around the thighs. The others are perfect fit though. Lol. I´m leaning my head against the wall right now with my eyes closed not even looking at what I type, so if there´s some errors, sorry. Lol. Thank you so much for the packages and everything, it´s been a great help, thank you. If you send another like you said with something, throw in a few ( FEW!!!, like 3 or so) garment bottoms. The spandex I only have like 2 of again. I´m going to be burning alot of stuff here soon. Lol.
Well it sounds like the turtle is doing good, I was AWESOME AND AMAZING to hear from Daniel and Josh, just to read what´s up just is a delightful little thing to do on Monday´s. Lol.
Oh, before I forget again, I have another 100 something pictures on there, that´s all of them. And... yeah one more thing, yesterday they made me zone leader. So, yeah, pray for me... please.
Love,
-Jake
