what the?!

well you really wouldnt have expected this, but right now i am in Progreso, Acapulco as Zone Leader.... on friday when we started the day off, elder wilding and me, we went to talk with a few people to set up appointments, and to check with mario (ward mission leader) about coming with us in the afternoon to our appointments, and setting up our lunch appointment with some awesome investigators gilberto and consuelo. after talking with one family for an appointment the next day, the zone leaders called to say ´get back home right now, its very urgent´ but they never said why. so we took a taxi and got back there, and they told us both that we were leaving. after that, we had one hour to pack and get to the bus station. i left to be zone leader, here, in progreso, elder snyders area(please tell him), and elder wilding left to zumpango, still in chilpancingo. we didnt have any time to talk to converts, or members, so some monday, elder wilding and his new companion elder dahl are going to head back to the area and get pics, email addresses etc. i was pretty sad, because it was right after me and elder wilding had been fasting for a few people, then we both had to leave. elder haertling and another elder will still be there, but i hope they can get to our investigators and help them... as we prayed together to end the fast, i was really sad, but i was also realizing that i had to go, because the lord had a reason for me to leave at that moment. the end of next week are changes, so we left really early, because another elder, e. gonzalez(elder snyders other son, that was also in progreso) left early for school, so president had to make some special changes. i realized that there was some reason i needed to be zone leader etc. i still dont know what it was, but i remember praying as it talks about in d&c, if you desire to do great in the eyes of the lord, he will help you to do it, and i wanted that, so i remember for a time i was praying about that, maybe this could be another opportunity to help others and learn service. mosiah 2:17
i am here with elder zazueta, who i knew from cuautla, and he only has 14 months. as i stepped off the bus, i felt just how humid aca really is! i was also waiting in the station for about 20 minutes waiting for elder zazueta with his hermano local to come and find me, so it was a little wierd being all alone for a time, but they came to me. that night, we planned and talked about the zone, and that it is suffering a little bit right now, and how we need to pick it up. sleeping is pretty rough because you are always swatting at mosquitos, and it is really sticky because of the humidity, but im starting to get accustomed.
my first day here, we didnt have any appointments, but a few references to contact in the night, but during the day, we were contacting the entire time. elder zazueta still had a little fear to get out and contact a bus, but i showed him how to do it, and he contacted the second one, so we did a lot of street contacts and passed out a lot of pass along cards and pamphlets, and we will see if they get contacted or if there are results. we did it for about 15-20 mins then started to contact. as we did it for the whole day, we ended up finding 8 nuevos, which was really needed, and then we ended and went home. church was also really good, there are a ton of really solid members who want to help, but i just dont think they know how, so we are going to try to work with them and get the member missionary work going. our bishop is a new guy, so we will need to help him along, but we have strong teachers and a happy ward. not a ton else is happening, but we are doing good, we went to the beach this morning, and saw some cliff jumpers from 90 feet! but somehow those pics, and the other ones that elder romney took(other elder with us) got erased from his phone, so you all will have to wait another week to see pics of acapulco elder zazueta, and me.
also, elder smith, my mtc companion is the district leader here in my district, so it will be good to see him, but i dont think he was too happy to see me at church yesterday. im not sure why, but maybe it was pride... who knows. ill still show him love and we will probably be going on splits with him this week too.
everything is super great right now, but im just really worried about the investigators we had in Guerrero, i sure hope they will all continue. by the way mom, all my packages that i have got, get to me sealed. all is well here, and we are both happy and sweaty! if you could please pray for german, we put him with a baptismal date for thursday, and he needs a little more help to complete. thanks! love you all tons, and i am glad to hear that everything is good at home! love you and pray for your health and safety.
