More to Learn from Acapulco

wow... well i will start out with a repass of the week. monday was nice, we finally were able to talk to the entire zone about their statistics(data) and goals, and why they arent completing them. i talked pretty rough with the other district where we arent, because they havent had good training for the last 3 months. so i went and talked to them and made it more of a chat, instead of yelling. i felt that it went over well, and they seemed more excited to get out and work, but now looking back on it, it only affected the district leader and his companion. which is a start. the other missionaries were way focused on changes, and not even worried about working. so sadly yesterday, we had to talk to them pretty sternly and frankly about some things. well starting tuesday in the afternoon, after lunch, elder miller started feeling really sick, and had a real bad head pain. it turns out he had a throat infection, cold, and also gave him a migrane. so we went home and waited to see if it would go away, and when we realized it wouldnt, i couldnt get ahold of a brother from the ward to go out with me to do visits. so we just stayed at home for the night. later the next day, i was with emmanuel guerrero, or old ward mission leader, and we worked pretty hard all day. we found three new investigators, and also had a few lessons. thursday, elder miller tried to go out and work, and made it a little more than 3-4 of the day when we had to go home and let him rest a little more. by friday he was good, and we worked friday and saturday. the hard thing, is that it was also raining a lot this last week, and we couldnt leave to work because of his sickness, so some times we had to wait out the rain. saturday night, we went out with a brother from the ward to a california buffet restaurant. it was all pretty much mexican food, with pancakes and hot dogs also haha. random. practically all the dessert was gelatin, gelatin with fruit, etc haha. but it was fun to go out and enjoy the last half hour of elder millers mission waiting to hear the changes from the assistents.
well i will still be here in acapulco for another 6 weeks. i will be training a new zone leader, and after training and working really hard, i will be changed. president spannaus called me this morning after elder miller left, and let me know what was going to happen, and also the situation of my new companion, elder sardui(sar-dewey) he has a little more time in the mission than i do, and i think president said that he is a convert to the church, and needs to learn leadership. president told me that i will only be here for this change then i leave, so i will have to work hard, and not let changes get to me next time. it was a little hard thinking about it, because i have a lot of time here, 6 months, and i was expecting to be changed, but we tried to work as hard as we could until the end. it was really sad to see elder miller go, we really enjoyed our time together, and traded a tie, so it was all sentimental... jaja. he was pretty nervous, and i told him to stay in touch with you all when he gets to byu. he recognized your building and where to go in, and he said when he goes back, he will be expecting a famous gary hamburger that following sunday. haha well those are actually the words i told him, and he agreed. dad your barbeque reputation is growing across the world!!!! well elder miller left with honor, and i wouldnt doubt feeling that he completed with what God sent him to do. he was a very successful missionary in my eyes.
once again my time has ended, but we will be in contact, and ill let you all know more about elder sardui this next week! take care, and know that i am praying for you all, and that god watches over you and protects you all. amen. love you,
