Week 94: Well, long but good week

So while this week felt very long it was also very good. There was a cold front that had been hitting us for a while and with a wind chill it was pretty chilli but now we are in the normal January Juchitan weather, or better known as WAYYY TOOOO HOOOOTTTTT. Well, it isn't as hot as the coast, why did I want to go out to the coast? Oh yeah, because it is AWESOME!!! But here is awesome as well, because we just had a BAPTISM ON SATUDAY!! His name is roberto. And although he has only been listening to the missionaries for 3ish months, he is SUPER READY. He has been through many trials, but with every single one he has come out on top, and even though for some stuff we had to postpone his baptism, we were able to help him get baptized.

But, this week has been a week of learning and lots of different challanges, trails, and blessings, but also miracles. I have learned so much in my time here in Oaxaca, and I can't wait to keep learrning! Not just here, but also for the rest of my life!

Anyways, I got some questions from the Bacon Family (shout-out to them for 1 writing me, and 2 have arguable the best last name known to mankind) and so I'll put the questions on here so everyone can see the answers I put, and if there are other questions feel free to ask!

• Q: If you have learned a different language, what is it? 
• A: Well, the language is Spanish, and it is an awesome language.
• Q: How many families are you currently teaching? 
• A: Well complete families like everyone in the family is listening to us probably like 4 or 5 but we have a lot of investigators that are just like a brother and a sister or an older married couple or a single brother, so in all we have about 14 investigators that are more or less progressing, and keeping their commitments.
• Q: Who was your favorite companion, and where were they from? 
• A: Definitly Elder Johnson. I trained him and we had a lot of success and a BLAST. And well he is from Provo, but I get along well with my mexican companions as well, I just got along best with him.
• Q: What weird food have you eaten lately? 
• A: Well last night I almost ate iguana. But we had already eaten twice and there was no space... But I had a soup with bugs in it! Extra protien!
• Q: What are your post-mission plans? 
• A : Well lots of stuff, such as study a lot, work a lot, be awesome, help my friends that are at home, date, well I could go on, but I'm focussing now in the stuff I have to do here, because I don't have a lot more time here, but don't tell anyone here that, they think I have a bit more than a year. I mean 22 months is just a little bit more than a year. (Time is relative right)
• Q: Do you or your companion know how to play the piano? If so, what's your favorite song? 
• A: No, but I am learning. I can play 2 hymns right now so I would say We Thank Thee Oh God for a Prophet.
• Q: You or your companion good cooks? 
• A: Yes, but we don't have a lot of time....
• Q: How many people have you seen join the church on your mission? 
• A: Well, I couldn't count all of the people I have seen and helped in some way join the church because I don't see how far my reach goes. But I do know that the Lord has sent me here for a reason, and that is to invite all to come unto Christ. And until I can sucessfully say I have invited ALL, I still have work to do. So speaking of that, I have got to go! Have a great week and I hope that y'all enjoy every day!
