Dia de la Madre

wooop it gungnam style. haha fetch. my neighbors daughter likes to listen to the chorus to that song over and over and over. haha so yeah. the walls are cement. i dont know why it sounds like paper. but it does. so we will just have to deal with that... hahaha

so this week. what a week.

first experience. so we were walking to a part of our area. its like walking to provo from pg. haha oh well. and it started to rain called the cats hair. cause you can feel it. but you cant see it. and we were on a street. straight. and we stopped cause we felt like we needed to. we looked up. and really. like 100M in front of us. (im 2 meters) you could see the rain so think. everything was soaked. and it was raining so so so hard. everything was already covered in water. the streets. and we could see it getting closer. we had just enough time to get our plastic on before it got to us. and really. when it hits this hard. plastic doesnt even help. haha so we got into cover. and waited 2 minutes or so for it to lighten up. haha its like buckets. the rain drops are like back the amount. but the size. its just so huge. everything just gets flushed out. haha

so yeah. uh. investigators this week. my favorite. marjourie. moved. haha im so so sad! im afraid she wont keep taking the missionaries. man. she was going to get baptized the 24. she put the goal herself. we said we are done trying to give you blessings if you want them. put your own date. and we will help you achieve it! haha so she did. it was so awesome the spirit was so strong! haha

we have a baptism this week. if everything goes well. i think it will. but we will see. i hope so. we havent had a baptism in a long time. and im working so hard. i hope we get to have some success. haha

so yeah. thats about all my special stories for this week. uh. the alcohol here is much cheaper than the water. so yeah. drink and be merry. i now know why everyone drinks. haha i dont know why i know that. but hey. it just came to me. revelation! haha

interview with pres this sunday. he came to our ward. how weird. haha he is great. cut my head off a little. but its ok. i deserved it. i need to open my mouth and plan better. i hate planning hahah. haha

so i did 101 lpe´s this week. that means i talked to 101 people in the street on the buss. this week. about the gospel. haha i am so cool. =D it makes me happy when i do them. so i do. pres said. im the first north american in the last 5 changes that has come and not been afraid to open my mouth. haha this week we will try for 200 =D

ill keep writing my numbers of llps haha so yeah. dads. 70 LDM can suck it. hahaha is that bad to say. i dont know.

so yeah. today in the bus. i read a very bad phrase very loud. and everyone turned and looked at me. the words in the sentence didnt make sense. haha so i said it. haha and when you use them like that. its very bad. i ended up talking really loud about how im learning spanish. haha the missionaries thought it was funny. haha the people not so much. hahaha welcome to my life.

my spanish is so good. thanks to the help of god. haha only he can help me learn it. cause i hate studying. hahaha but really. i feel confident with my spanish.

so thats my report for this week. also there are many different types of mangos. and ways to eat them. i never win. also if you eat one type it burns your mouth. heads up. who knew.

got hit by a bus the other day. that was fun. ahha so funny. it was soft. but i was in the way. hahahahaha who put that there. thats what i said. hahaha and my companion. fell on the floor dying with laughter. haha this mission is so much fun.

its starting to feel like the mission is my real life. and my life before is a dream. how weird. haha i miss you all and i love you all. but i got both my feet in the mission. and the time is just flying by! haha sicknesses and everything. haha im not sure what our cook fed us. but me and my companion are not regular if you know what i mean. all this week! haha yeah. gross. sorry.

i just want to end by saying i love the work. my life after the mission is my life after the mission. and i need to work. now i start to feel the joy from the work. im so happy. i get frustrated and tired every day. but i love it. i love being here. im learning so much. and growing so much. im so grateful for all the blessings im receiving and this 2 years is starting to feel like the best two years. this is for me. my future. thats why we use preach my gospel. to convert the missionary first. and im becoming more converted every day. im so grateful to be here. to have what i have. a family. a girlfriend. this gospel. and my friends. i love it i love this life. god blesses me so much. and i will forever be grateful to him for what he is giving me right now. and has given me. the more i try to give. the more he gives me. and i know i will never be able to give more than i receive. its hard. but its worth it.

i love this gospel. and i know its true. i testify as a representative of Jesus Christ himself. that this is the work of salvation. and i love it.

i love you all. stay strong. stay searching for the truth. and become more converted every day.

a quote i loved this week said. if someone is saying things that dont make sense. they arent reading their scriptures. haha have you been reading? or are you losing your mind. hahaha

Love Elder Jordan Thomas Evans.

Ps happy mothers day.
