Guess Who's Coming to Mexico?

no manches!!! mi mano va a ser chilango cuate!!!! im sooooo excited!!! wow! im not going to lie, but i was very shocked.... elder zazueta tells me that the temple is in his mission, but the only problem is that i might be going to the temple in june or july... haha. hopefully we could talk for a little together. advice.....only buy one pair of shoes and buy the other pair here. in el DF (his mission)(distrito federal) everything is really cheap. there, its the cheapest in all mexico. pack light at home, because leaving the mtc, you dont want to be overweight on luggage it costs a lot. you may want a sweater actually, or a sweater vest, because its close to the estado de mexico, and there it actually can get snow, or -5 deg celcius. only bring what you need for the first year, and then get the other part from packages. i have still been using the same garments and socks (10 pairs) since the beginning, and i really think i might be able to go my whole mission with just these. socks were the only thing i needed more, and i have another 9 pairs for the second year that mom and rusty have sent me. also, i only use three white shirts per week, every week. all the others, are there in my luggage waiting for these first three to wear out, then i will change. i might only buy one long sleeve shirt, and a few less for short sleeve, and here you can buy the rest if you need it. i have never needed an umbrella, and very rarely my jacket for rain. usually we just suck it up and get wet, because it came down hard, and a jacket or umbrella didnt help with much. enough about you joseph..... haha jk, im really so excited and so proud of you. you will love your time here, but just start praying for love for the mexican people. the faster you can get it, the faster you will be a more effective misisonary. i love you little brother, and i know the lord has sent you there, in a specific time of your life, to find specific people, to influence and be influenced by specific people, etc. you are in the right place.
dad, the two words you learned are arriba and abajo(above and below). very good!! im also proud of you hahaha.
well, our week has been stressful, but very very progressive. in this month, just from the people we have found in these past few weeks, and in this last week especially, we should baptize 7 in this month! almost every one of them is for sure, and we just need time to teach them! the week was stressful, because we were preparing for this week that is coming. today, we had zone changes, but we only had one guy leave, and one come. tomorrow, we leave for cuerna for consejo, then thursday we have a conference that we are directing of the zones acapulco, costa azul and guacamayas, because elder johnson(area president) is coming to talk with us, and we are in charge.... very nerve racking! president spannaus is also kinda worried about it, so he is stressing us that everything is prepared and perfect.... ill tell you about it next week though.
this week, we had the baptism of just shirly. she is incredible, and another perfect 12 year old daughter of god. she is completely focused on family and doing what god wants her to do. she helps her single mom work in a paper store, and take care of her little baby sister of 6 months. she is great, ill send pics afterwards. we sadly didnt have the baptism of michel, because she was too scared to talk to her dad about it.... she only needs permission of her mom, because she lives with her mom, but she just doesnt want to disappoint her dad if she gets baptized. she wants to, but also doesnt want to tell her dad, or ask permission to do it, so we hit a wall with her. we will still try to visit her the end of this week, but who knows if anything will change. please keep praying for her... the good news of this week, is that me and elder zazueta didnt really fight this week, so thanks for your prayers, they are helping! really its kinda sad that not much is happening, just that god is really blessing us with a lot of great member help, and we are getting some really good references from them, that are progressing really well. as far as i can think of,(not very far, because i need to go to the bathroom, and there isnt one here) we didnt have a really cool experience this week.... i will have to talk later, because im starting to sweat bullets. i love you all tons, and hope all is great. congratulations joseph!
love elder facer
