Okay fam

Coming to you from my fancy computer. I feel like I am in a whole new world, from working in the offices, to a new area, to the new way of work , it's been quite the week.

This week was really good, it went by so fast cause the days go by so fast. We work in the offices until 2 and then leave to work except for Saturday. 

It's been pretty stressful cause I don't know how do very much and most of the stress is that I'm being trained for the big job, financial secretary, I will be incharge of all the financial stuff which is a really hard job and super busy. I was really surprised when president told me that, I only have almost 8 months on my mission. I'm really nervous about it cause I have to learn everything this transfer then I'm it and my companion elder Cameron will leave the offices. Add it with learning my area in 6 weeks, learning how to be secretary of materials right now its so much. especially with this new way of working, you have to know the ward and the members really good, cause that is how we do everything now. I'm trying to humble myself and pray a ton to prepare myself, I know the lord will help me but it feels like so much.

I will probably be here for a while because my companion has been here for 6 months and is going for 7 and he had the same situation so I'm the next him, probably ya never know with president, we call him the wild card, ya never know.

My new ward is super good, its really small, a lot smaller than in pedregal and reysona but it cool, the members are really great and have already helped us a ton this week with the new way to work.

It's so weird not being able to contact, I don't like it. We did have a taxi driver contact us and ask us questions so we were able to give a book of Mormon and everything, he was super interested he told us that is trying to figure out where we go after this life and why were here. 

 

My companion is elder Cameron, he is American and is really good. He has a year and half. I really like him I think its going to be a really good transfer and then he'll probably leave.

I had a great Sunday yesterday, I received a lot of personal revelation that is going to help me a lot. 

I'm trying to forget about myself and think more about others. Sometimes I think of .. whats in it for me .. even when I serve. But if it really is selfless "whats in it for me" is nothing, what I gained was nothing, it's what someone else gained that is the important part, I want to live my life more like that, charity. I am starting to comprehend it more. I just wanna help people come unto Christ.

My knees are doing good. I thought maybe it was a reason pres assigned me here but he has not asked me about my knees so I don't think he even knows that they were bugging me. Oh something sad is that we cant live in the offices, we have to move to an apartment in my area. The presidency of Mexico does not want missionaries to live in the offices. So I'm loosing part of the office experience aka the ac at night. Our new apartment is alright, it'll do, no ac but its alright. It's just will be Elder Cameron and I.

I don't have very many things to say cause we don't really have investigators or lessons. Pretty much we went with members and asked for references. We're gonna figure out how to have success in this new change, it's gonna be really, really hard. 

That's about it, everything is different. the Church is true.
