Another week in Mexico...


Monday 23 July 18

I tell you it has been real hot over here too.  the skies have been grey its been so hot.  Like on those days where its real fresh outside and feels good the sky is real blue, but right now its just straight heat, and its so hot the red of the heat is canceling out the blue of the sky and we have a grey sky.  I will take a photo this next week.  

It is so weird being the only missionary of the family.

The remodel is gonna be done just in time for me to be home! Oh wait, never mind.  

Is Smiles still into the bike riding scene or not so much?

Man I was in the bathroom at a member’s house when I remembered that
Fiesta Days started and I got real trunky for a second.  That is one celebration I miss quite a bit.  Tomorrow is the parade and the barbecue.  wowza i do not remember the time passing so fast.

Last year when i had no life? Please, more like last year when the ever so hip pre-elder smiley took time out of his ever so busy schedule to spend some quality time with his old fashioned parents.  I like that definition better!  How cool that the other ever so hip brother did the same thing.

The area is going super well, as well as the district.  We are getting work done and my comp is a genius! He pulls out the smooth talk every contact and absolutely destroys the lessons with his spiritual bombs.  I hope we can land another change together but I think I may be outta this area in 4 weeks.

Its awesome here in Mexico, It seems that rainy season has come to an end, and now we are heading into the cold months (depending on the zone), and i am coming close to one year of service!  I love not counting time, because I know if I was, I would be counting up until September, and then counting down until the next one!

one more thing, could you or smiles look up when the fall semester starts next year? Because if it starts close to the end of my mission, I might talk to you guys about coming home early to get a good start in school, what do you think?

Love ya, you’re doing great, and I miss the whole fam

Only 1 Smiley Missionary!!! But things are going well

so we aint got much time today because of changes but i managed to get to the internet real quick for an email.  

i am back to district leader! and there are 5 companionships in my district! we are living with elders too in a tiny lil house so that will be fun too.

this week was awesome, even though our two baptisms fell. patience and diligence will be the theme for this next change with these investigators.

keep it real, the book of mormon is true, God is good, and Cody is home!

Which way should we be going?  As you can see there are some wide open spaces in Mark's mission

That is a real church he is in front of

I own this country...

...but maybe I don't want the rain!!
