I went toPalenque again it was awesome! this time was even better. but guess why! there were a ton of white people there but i didn’t see them at first when we got there and all of a sudden i start hearing claps and cheers and yells saying elder elder! i turn around and there is a huge tour group of mormons! they were doing a book of mormon tour trip it was awesome. they were all old, minus like 2 or 3 families. they were so stoked to see us. they let us tag along and listen to there guide who is a convert. he knows english, spanish, mayan and he is trying to learn navajo right now. the dude is cool. but yeah it was awesome trying to speak to them i kept switching my form of talk i couldn’t control it. i would start talking spanish and i couldn’t stop. it was awesome lol. i got some pretty cool paintings for the wall at home. work is going great we are really working hard. hard enough that president called me and my comp and told us to come to the zone leader conference tomorrow and be apart of it. haha that is awesome thanks Dylan.

I love you dad things are going great though. keep up your work and find some more people to baptize. I’m drained i wont lie I’m so tired!  I love you dude adios! gringo! 

I lost my patience this week during a lesson. yep haha totally lost it and the love of Christ. all during a lesson. There was a guy that my comp and the other elder who taught before i got here and they hadn’t passed for him for awhile. we went over and were teaching. he was getting really lazy during the lesson in his hammock any way he had his phone out texting the whole time as we were explaining. well he just wasn’t listening we would had to double ask him things and even then he didn’t respond with a real intent. well during the lesson i realized i was in the wrong. i was far over board with patience and love it wasn’t there. so i prayed. i prayed for what i needed and i repented. soon after you would have thought i was standing up talking to his face the way i was talking but i was seated down across from him a good distance and the words that came from my mouth grabbed him because he could tell i was serious. he felt it. he felt the spirit as well telling him listen. at the end of the lesson i asked him if he was brave. he said he was i asked if he had faith he said yes i do. i said good then lets pray on our knees. you need to pray to know if The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church. sure enough he did. got down and prayed like a man. he felt great afterwards. He told us he was going to church and everything. but its a great lesson learner because i expressed my love and faith with him but its a two sided thing he has to do his part.
