Hello Hello!
Well here I am again reporting another great week
here in the mission. I am really happy right now because today was a super good
day. Wednesday is Elder Rodriguez's birthday so we went out to celebrate. We
wanted to do something different so we decided to go hike a mountain. I honestly
didn't even know places like this existed in our mission until they told me
about it. It is out on the limits, in the state of Mexico. We headed out at
about 6:00 and took a bus about 45minutes to the foot of the mountain and began
to hike. Most of it was road, it reminded me of the Tony's Grove road, but had
some good muddy trail parts. It was raining and super misty. It felt so good to
be outdoors and out of the city, I could actually breath fresh air for the
first time in more than a year. We hiked to the top to a lookout tour and had kind
of a Crater Lake moment because it was all cloudy and misty, usually you can
see all of Mexico City from up there. But oh well it was pretty awesome. It was
us, E Rodriguez and his comp E Sewell, and their zone leaders Elder Fike and
Alvarez. (See the many pics I sent- only about a third of them). So that was
awesome, after we came down, and went to lunch at Panda Express. Then we
shopped in Walmart, came back to clean the house and to write. The whole day we
were in normal clothes which was so weird for me. Normally it is very against
the rules, but we had permission so don't worry. I just felt like a normal boy
again. haha. Good good day.
The week was pretty good, fast. We had changes, and
our zone changed a little bit. We have one companionship that we are gonna have
some problems with because they are both pretty dead, oh well we will get
through. Should be another great cycle.
Everything is going pretty good with our
investigators, a few frustrations and obstacles but hey there always is. We should
baptize 2 of our investigators next week, Jose and Martha. Gonna be super great
converts, so we are working with them as much as we can.
This week we got to have a little field trip and I went with all Elders from my generation to Polanco, aka rich Mexico City. Now
that we have more than a year in Mexico we had to go renew our visas. That
place is such a night and day difference from our mission. It makes me realize
that I actually could live in the city. I have not enjoyed city life here in
Mexico City, but over there it is completely different. We also stopped by a Dairy Queen and got a blizzard which
was fun. Gotta love those American moments.
Its crazy how fast time flies in the mission, and
how far I have come. I have been reading my journal from a year ago, and I feel
like I have learned SO much since then. I don't know how I made it through the
first few months. haha But now I feel like a completely different missionary and
person. So that's really good to see.
Oh and I made brownies this week. Gotta take
advantage that I have an oven! So they were pretty good. Love when I get to
bake a little bit. Reminds me of the good ol times.
Sounds like everything is good with you guys at
home, I love you tons and have a super great week!
With Lots of Love,
Elder Elgan
