Searching for the Pure Love of Christ

hey everyone! all is somewhat well here in acapulco. all is really good, because we did complete with the four baptisms we had planned, but sadly i left the camera cord in the house, so ill send the pics next week. bad news is that we still arent finding many people to continue finding and teaching, so we are going to have to focus this week on finding, and see how good our willingness to the lord is. we are still struggling to get better in our companionship, and that is why the time feels a lot longer, but it is still moving along.
this week had a few things that were kinda interesting. monday, i bought some new tennis shoes, because my other ones broke, but dont worry mom, they were cheap. haha. tuesday, when we went to talk with three of the people we were getting ready for baptism this week, and as we challenged them for saturday, they asked ´well, could we do it on thursday?´ haha of course we didnt decline, and they all got baptized thursday happily. i did the ordinance for them three. in the afternoon, i went on changes with an elder pond from flagstaff, and he helped me ration things out with the zone and my companion. we talked for a long time and he helped me realize better what i needed to do. mostly have better, more humble prayers about love and really praying for my companion. sadly he told me that most of the zone is also upset with elder zazueta, because he tries to take everything into his own hands.... i have tried to mention it to him discreetly, but he still hasnt accepted that fact that he is uptight. wednesday later in the night, i actually politely asked elder zazueta to not do something he was doing(that was strictly against the rules), and he got mad at me for saying that if he didnt stop, i would have to talk to president. he told me dont be so fariseo(pharisee? from the new testament) just because i was trying to take care of him and me... but i think i did the right thing. then thursday, we talked with our other baptism possibility, and she was willing to accept her date for friday, and got pretty excited, because she thought it was going to have to be postponed, becuase she didnt go to church the last week. the only reason she didnt go, is because her family didnt have money to go. but we helped them get rides arranged and everything for friday and sunday, so it all went well! but as we entered into her house, one if her dogs got scared and jumped and attacked me. i dodged out of the way a little so it didnt bite me, but as it fell, its nail cut my left pant leg right above the knee. i didnt really get cut, but i was pretty sad.... i now have it sewed up and it looks pretty bad, but i had to have it open during the baptism. also when we went to eat lunch, i burnt myself pretty bad on a hot plate and it blistered immediatley... i will send pics next week of the two things. friday the baptism went well for esteffani, but sunday is when it was a little odd. one girl, of the three that were baptized, wasnt completely sure about her full name, so we called her aunt(because her mom was working) and she told us her name, and we baptized her. but sunday, during the confirmation, the man said her name wrong, so elder zazu went to correct him. then the lady that has helped us with them also went up and said that the middle name wasnt correct, it was just a nickname.... so we stopped her confirmation and after sacrament went to her house to dig and dig for her birth certificate. we found that it was actually her middle name, and we didnt have to baptize her again, just do the confirmation right. then later in the day, we got planched(rebuked) pretty bad by the assistants because the whole zone is suffering to find and complete with baptisms. we had 9 that were going to be sure in the zone, but only 5 got confirmed.... and president doesnt like that. he wants that if we say 9, 9 get confirmed. so they also yelled for that.
i was pretty happy with this week, except that it felt like two weeks... i just ask for your prayers that elder zazueta and i can be more united in this week. also, does anyone know the first name of elder miller(jeffs companion) im not remembering anyone with the last name miller right now.. he wrote me today saying that all is well and slow. (he is still finding less investigators than me) i wonder what it would be like in a eastern states mission... i think the lord calls his best missionaries there, because they can handle it. im not sure if i could. haha. love you all tons. hope all is well..
