The Will to Change

sorry every one for how depressing my last letter sounded. turns out i was in the early stages of food poisoning. i had eaten a tostada with some thing that was like jello but meat and it was made out of cow hooves. so yeah, i am going to take the food a little easier now. 

 

this week we had divisions and most every thing was ok but when i got to the apartment with one of the zone leaders my companion did not have any food, he does not eat much at our apt i only had a little so that was the main thing that we were doing wrong other that he said every thing was fine.  

 

Everyone  is telling me that after this transfer i will be training.  which is not uncomman at all,  but its  kinda scary to think i have to teach someone how to be a missionary in less than a month. i feel i barely know what is going on. but then i think about how i could try to be a better trainer than the one i have and i realize i can do it and i can do it more my way, whatever my way is. i have not found that out yet. not saying i have a bad trainer i just want to be better. 

 

the other night we were walking down the street and i saw a football game playing in a shop and someone had shown me a roster for the play offs and i wanted to see if it was the chiefs playing. it was and they were playing against the colts and i started to talk with the guy who owned the store he was nice and enjoyed talking with us, he said we can come talk with him again some time. i doubt he belived me when i said the quarter back is my dad's cousin. but i didn't see who won the game, i only saw the score and one or two plays. 

 

i found the guy who yelled at me on Christmas day and i got to thank him for what he said. we did not have time to talk with him much at all. just to remind him what he did then thank him.

 

well i am doing good now, not sick any more and all our investigators and other people who were on vaccation are home now so we can get back to work. not that we ever stopped, but when everyone we usually visit is gone and all the people we try to visit are gone we definitely  slowed down. 

 

that's awesome that peter is married.  i am glad i got to attend even if it was just in paper form. ( my face glued to a cardboard cut out of Obama).  i still can't believe sam got married before him. but then i think back and that is how i expected it to happen my whole life until pete started dating katelyn.  it's amazing how people change.  i get to see people change their lives all the time here even if they are not my investigators. when i see people change it makes me think, would i do the same if i was where they are? then i think in ways i am where they are, i just need to realize what i need to change. all we need is a realization of a need to change and then a will to do so.

 

this is the burger stand of Antonio's mom, Alisi,a she is like my mom here, she always tells me to stand up straight and stuff. she gives us free hotdogs and burgers too.
