i'm just bored of my ties and i like packages, and i hear that silk ties bleed in the nicaragua humidty and heat and ruin shirts soo that is all. about the scriptures thank you, the talks werent really for the investigators though they are for me, i get alot of time in the day to work on self improvement and i just love hearing the words of modern day prophets.

What are some good scriptures about receiving revelation? tI don't know what you want to know about my schedule i just have two class periods a day where we practice grammar, teaching, and learning. personal study, comp study, language study, food and gym. oh ya! I am now a zone leader, we are down to one district in the branch that is being reassigned this week so we dont know where or when they leave and then also my district. my fellow ZL is elder inoke the one mom asked about last email. Oh and i have bad news! i can't find my patriarchal blessing so please get me a copy of that ASAP is got to be somewhere in my room but i searched high and low and no dice! i need my mommy to find my stuff! unless you packed it someplace crazy but i thought i saw it earlier please add these emails to the list and the blog it is a family that volunteers and we give them a little lesson and it is my favorite thing to do other than the temple and i love them. i just love  this family! alot of my teachers are leaving which are sad but the new ones anr way fun. i have not gotten the cupcakes but i have a package notice that i havent turned in so thanks for ruining the surprise. we get a new district today and as zone leader that is really the only time i am busy. we orient them and welcome them and it should be fun. four elders and four sisters! i am really excited and i think one of the sisters went to hillcrest! it is great seeing people i know here. but i am good and i miss you all! my new p day will be tuesdays. please keep writing and praying and telling me how your lives are. it really is a great blessing to hear from my family and friends! PAZ!

Melene is being baptised this saturday and our other teacher is doing this new thing where he is only giving us two visits to have a spiritual expiernce and we met our first one josue he was a member super young i really dont know if he is baptized or not but i had a spiritual experience bearing my testimony of prayer so i hope he felt it. Its nice to hear about your tennis, the field is open here and it opens up a whole new array of lazy man sports. Bocce, horse shoes, croquet, passy flicky thing, its just so much fun! but ya, write back and i'll get to it at laundry around three thirty or four. its so crazy that i will be in the campo! field! soon, i cant wait. our zone is starting to pick up our game and kick it in gear and i am super busy. the temple was great this morning, our teacher came with us and it was really fun. oh ya i have been sick again, haha remember in january when i got sick, kinda the same thing, my stomach is just failing at its job, the doc said its a mix of awful MTC diet and stress, but dont worry its not as bad as last time. and i think i am losing weight from it so that is always a plus. well i gotta save some time for later so i love you! and dont worry mom your mothers day present is coming with the sd card.

so...i leave   the  28th, my companion and i are getting along swimmingly, we have a drunk investigator right know who we are trying to help stop drinking he is 54 years old and just got divorced but i have a lot of hope, his name is David, has three kids and he is a pretty spiritual guy. my other investigator is melene who thinks its all true but she just complains on not having enough faith to get baptized. but I'll find out Wednesday if she went to church and had a good experience. an elder has joined my comp and i, his name is elder leatham he is also from California but he was have visa issues but his whole district  got reassigned and he had to stay back for health reasons. oh dad! i forgot to tell you i finished the book of mormon in 29 days..or less. i thought you would be proud:) but i have been working on the  b.o.m. in spanish and english but focusing on the new testament and i just started corithians too and just read roman s 8 and loved it!!  but please keep the talks coming i love them! you really are an inspired man! but about mothers day, the mtc just can't facilitate 2,500 missionaries all trying to call the same day so i'm sorry but  you hear from me on the 28th at the airport so don't fret. ummm oh i NEEED my patriarchal blessing please get that to me!! Ashley said to share a spiritual expierence but really i can't start to begin to choose one to share, they literally happen every day. i have amazing teachers and leaders and talks, devo, films, that are all sooo great that it is just constant. i feel my spanish learning slowing and thats not good, i'm not even close to ready! and elder messed up his hips yesterday playing basketball, but i don't have to worry about that since my  physical exercise is pretty much four square or volleyball in the gym, or horse shoes, bocce, ladder golf, or passy flicky thing when i am on the field. it is pretty great. but over all the most spiritual thing is  the power of revelation, and how often that occurs when  you are searching for it, and are in the right place, our new group of elders are amazing! they are all so powerful an d energetic, all are heading to different parts of mexico. yes one is going to t.j. daniel. umm but really over all the work is great. i love it so much.  love you all! bye!
