If you can't say anything nice....

hey, well this was another long week... sadly elder zazueta and i still havent quite found our middle ground, even though we take quite a bit of time to talk about our differences. after talking, we leave happy, but we both keep falling in the things that we said wouldnt happen and then we get mad again. the good thing is that when we get mad, it doesnt last for long. he is a hot headed type, and so when things arent going his way, he kinda loses it. im still prideful and think i know the best way to do things, so we usually have a conflict in important decisions. the good thing is that we are both here in the same goal towards baptism, so that is about the only thing that is still keeping us alive and going....
we had the wonderful baptism of ivan this week, and that also got us a little toed to the edge. he called us and told us he would get there late, so when ivan finally got there, the lights went out. the light crew of acapulco has been going around to all the streets and rewiring them all.... so it just so happens saturday night at 730 they were on the street of the church right while we were changing into white. elder zazueta got really mad and lost his temper and kinda put a lot of other people in bad moods too, but when the lights came back on, he cheered right up and was happy again. haha the baptism went really well, and i did the ordinance. ivan´s mom didnt want him to do it, but because of his testimony, he knew he had to, and did it. he is 20, so he didnt need his parents permission. well like i was saying before, me and elder zazueta have had a few discussions this past week, and they were about various things, which i feel really helped, and we are making improvements, just very little by little. i want to know how little the lines and precepts are that the book of mormon talkes about..... because these are very little lines we are working on and trying to build.. but everytime something comes up between us, i try to calm myself and think patience, positive attitude, and love. i just put those three things in my mind and try not to say anything else. i have struggled not blowing up on him and yelling, but it has been a good thing. im just not quite sure how to translate ´if you cant say anything nice, its better that you say nothing at all´...
well im going to ask for your prayers in a new way this time. i ask that you pray that we are guided to the people that we need to teach. we really need to be finding and teaching more people and preparing them for baptism.. please pray that the members will be excited and willing to help us find the children of god that are ready to accept us in this moment of their lives. thanks for your help. i know that your faith is greater than mine, and with all of you together, you can move mountains. trust in god, and be diligent in all that you do, especially overcoming trials. love you all tons, and hope you have a great week!
