Alma 17:11

And the Lord said unto them also: Go forth among the Lamanites, thy bretheren, and establish my word; yet ye shall be patient in long-suffering and afflictions, that ye may show forth good examples unto them in me, and I will make an instrument of thee in my hands unto the salvation of many souls.

SOOOOOOOOO this week there were changes! I bet you`re veeerry curious as to if I had one or not!!!!!! THE ANSWER IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no..... I´ll almost finish a YEAR in the same district that i´ve been in for my whole mission....... holy cow. I just need a change, I like this area but....... i really wanna see something different for once in my mission. there is a missionary who came to this zone with an emergency transfer and only had a week in this zone and HE had a change!!! I´ve almost got a gosh diggity year! 

And to make things worse, yesterday I broke out in hives!!! Covered like a giraffe, itchy as a.... well something that is itchy I guess. Last night was one of the LONGEST nights of my life! Just scratching and trying to sleep, BLAH it was awful. Not sure if it was from something I ate or what, might of been stress too, but I still got some on my feet and they´re on FIRE right now!

And to make things EVEN worse, remember the Fam. P I told you about? Well, we REALLY wanted to get a baptismal date with them. We´ve invited them before but they always say ´but I´ve already been baptized´ then we invite them to pray and ask if they should. After then they always say OK but nothing else. THIS time I wasnt going to leave without putting a date with them, so we invited them and they told us the same thing ´ive already been baptized´ so we explained authority and everything and invited them again. then they told us ´no you dont understand... we were baptized in YOUR church´ WHAT!? We´ve been teaching you for EVER and you failed to mention that!? Holy cow, so we didnt get to put a date with them.... they`re already members... we just kinda sat there like What? for like a minute, couldnt think of a word to say! So I guess it`s good that their baptized but it just is a bummer cause we were certain that they would be perfect baptizms.

Sorry about this Email that´s just full of bad news but this week has been a hard one! Uhhh good news is that, wells kinda bad news for me but it sounds cool! I think that im going to be District Leader here... which could be cool, I was hoping that i`d leave this place first but it looks like it`s gonna happen, I`ll tell you if it`s for sure next week though! Also it looks like my zone will be splitting (dont tell anyone it`s still a secret haha) so my zone will be TINY I think, I`ll have to tell you more when I know.

Lets see, we dont have any baptism dates set, and the other two investigators who I told you about are just brainwashed fools now who dont really want to talk to us. More than anything we´ve been working with the members this week, they really are the key to having any success in any area. But it takes a bit to get them rolling! Maybe I´ll see how it goes cause I´ll be here FOREVER! haha

These pics are awesome! I love the one with all you and with scott, NICK LOOKS OLD!!! haha Maybe I`ll send you pics instead of writing more!

Church is true (thank goodness because if it wasnt I´d leave this dang zone haha) Keep praying and have a BLAST in Mexico! 

Love,

Alex
