The weeks are going by faster and faster. I feel like I'll be home in no time at this rate. This week was pretty good on this end. This week I think we changed climates. We got pretty much no rain, and a lot of heat. It was a nice break from the rain, but it's not the most pleasent thing walking all day in the heat. But it looks like that's about to change, since we've got a pretty good storm brewing right now.
Other than strange weather, things were pretty good this week. We found another new family to teach. They actually contacted us. We went to the house of a contact, who wasn't in home, and when we were leaving the mom signaled for us to come over. When we walked over to where she was, she asked if her son could study with us. Almost always when they ask something like that, it means that they want to have English lessons, so we asked if he wanted to study English or about God. She said about God. She said that every time her son saw the missionaries he said that he wants to study with them, so when she saw us she figured it was the chance. We set up an appointment with them for the next day, which went pretty well. (Except that the son, Andres, at one point started reciting Our father who art in heaven and Ave Maria. Yeah, they may be a bit catholic.(Oh, the mom's name is Nayeli.)) At the end we were about to ask her to come to church on Sunday, but she beat us to it. She asked us if she could come to our church on Sunday, since she said that she goes to the Catholic church more out of commitment to her family than out of a desire to go. The best part is that when she came on Sunday, by herself, she brought her mom, Socorro, with her. (We offered to pass for her in the morning, but she said no.) Her son didn't come because he had some activity that he had to do. For the same reason they had to leave after sacrament meeting. But we have an appointment with them this Wednesday. (I didn't almost just put miércoles. Absolutely not. I can still speak English.) Other than her, Guillermo and Lizbeth are coming along as well. Lizbeth was a bit sick this week, including on Sunday, but Guillermo still came. (Yeah, it's hard to remember the names of the days of the week in English now. Just an FYI, Sunday is domingo, Monday is lunes, Tuesday is martes, Wednesday is miércoles, Thursday is jueves, Friday is viernes, and Saturday is sábado. Now you know, so that if I forget you can still understand me.)
That's about it for news this week. We played soccor today after the zone meeting, and somebody kicked the ball so hard at Elder Cory that it left a mark that lasted a couple of hours. At least two Elders left bleeding, and a couple more have some pretty good bruises. And this was a pretty relaxed game as far as Mexico goes. It was actually pretty fun today. When it gets competitive it loses its appeal.
That's about it for me this week. I'm sorry your summer went by so fast. Enjoy the time you have left I guess. And at the very least you don't have to have another split this year. As far as Sarah's new car goes, she did in fact send me the picture. It looks pretty fancy.
OK, I love you, and I'll write you next week.
Love,
Elder Samuel Long
