This week was a pretty normal one for a missionary. But that`s not to say that I didn`t have anything cool happen this week. This week I was able to put a name to the dish I absolutely love here in mexico. It`s name is called chile relleno and it is SO good! It`s basically a big pepper filled with some meat and some other stuff and a sauce that is to die for. Speaking of food there are 2 fruits that I have fell in love with here that are not available in the US and they are called jamaica (more of a water flavor but only in mexico you get it from a flower) and guayaba and that is one fruit I will miss a whole lot! this week my companion expressed to me that he really wants to get a smart car. I expressed my concern and asked why on earth would he want to have a smart car! But at that very moment passed a super jacked smart car! I didn`t think that smart cars were capable but I guess this one was super moded up! And this week I was reminded of the great named teams in the league of Grandpa when I saw a shirt that said BREW CREW on the front and it was made to be a softball shirt. I couldn`t help but think of Gpa. This week for our district meeting we began with class in english for those that didn`t know english. I was tempted to join. But during this class my companion asked how do you say "Dios tiene un cuerpo de carne y huesos" meaning God has a body of flesh and bone. But here in mexico if you ordered carne then you would get served beef. so during this the other spanish speaker that we have in our district said "oh I know this God has a body of beef and bones". super funny.
This week was a pretty tough one concidering trying to focus and as everyone (I think) knows I am really hard on myself at times. And it seems like it`s the only way for me to improve. I have been trying really hard not to be too hard on myself and at the same time try to critic myself to get better. It`s really hard to find the line there in this situation. But I am finding it I`m sure!. At times I know that we need to get ourselves moving and working but at the same time we need to realize that if we are doing the best that we are capable and having a good attitude about it. That`s the thing I think that I`m looking for is a way to enjoy my working hard and to enjoy what I`m doing. It`s really hard to find and I encourage everyone to find a way to well find it! Because it seems like everytime we practice something like an instrument or a sport we hate it so much! But why do we do it? because we want to be better! and at times it`s the way we show our passion for this thing that we`re practicing. But why do we hate practice? when we practice and we practice well we are able to enjoy the fruit that is to shine in the thing that we practice. Work is tough but we should enjoy it because without work there isn`t any blessings.
LOVE YOU ALL AND THE CHURCH IS TRUE!
