We went to the TEMPLE!!! week 24

You may be wondering why I haven´t written all day...

We went to the temple!!!!

The Brailsfords are like our Grandparents here in the offices. Hermana Brailsford loves to bake. They invited us over for thanks giving dinner last night, it was amazing! We didn't lack anything, we had Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, corn, apple and pumpkin pie! We were in heaven! They are the greatest! We also were able to escort them to the Temple today, that was our excuse to go :)

 ´´umm president, the Brailsfords want to go to the temple but don't feel comfortable going in public transportation on their own, can elder brown and I go with them to help them out?´´

 (President immediately replies) 

´´YES! I that sounds like a great plan!´´

I think president likes us :) We are so blessed to have such a close relationship with him!

Oh something funny that happened this week with president: We were walking to the bank talking and having a good conversation about the new missionaries that arrived this week. The whole time he was talking about how he was worrying for them because they are all super stressed about their Spanish. Then on the way home out of the blue he started talking in English., he said he should practice his English so he can talk with them. hahaha He talk in English with us all the walk back to the offices. It was pretty funny :) I love that man!

Why do you think I took the photo! It is fake wood tile and all! I was so excited, I told Elder Brown you were putting this in the house!

 

We went to paint tree trunks white(to keep out the beetles) for a ward service project Saturday morning. We thought this was pretty funny, You will have to translate it, I am not going to write what it means

We started a tradition with the assistants called Paisley P day! But I have to lend out three of my paisley ties for us to all have paisleys! :) Elder Sanabria, Elder Quinn, Elder Brown, Elder Frazier I love them all so much and we all get a long SOOOOOO WELLLL!!!! We had another pretty crazy week with transfers. Monday morning we recieved 4 from the Mexico CCM, Monday night we picked up 14 American Elders and 4 American Sisters (the first in the Mission) (hey do cindy bailey or natalie know Hailey Robison? She graduated from Bonneville this year and is related to the Hix somehow, not sure how) Then we had the training Tuesday, then 2 went to the airport Wednesday morning, then we took 8 to migracion yesterday, and Elder Torres took 10 more today to Migracion today while we were at the Temple. It has been a lot of traveling this week and we are tired. It is so much work as a secratary, but it truly is fun. Work is fun, especially when it is the Lords work

This book is TRUE!!

Our home teachers were at the house when McKay emailed and Michael Peterson emailed McKay. McKay's message to the young men:

Hey thank you Michael! How have you been? Keep up the good work Home Teaching, my family needs it :) hahaha Thanks for watching out for them. Hey how are all the guys in the Ward, Blake and Ian and Dillan should be starting their mission papers in a month or two! Never forget that you are a member of this church. Everyone at school sees you and knows it! Stay strong to your standards. Always keep the mission in mind... everyday do something to help you prepare for it! It is the most important decision I have made yet! I love it everyday! I am forever indebted to my Savior Jesus Christ who has given me all I have and continues to bless me here in Mexico City. I love my life! 

Thank you! I love you all... I am here because i love the lord... I dont need any other reason! Keep up the good work. Just as you guys have looked up to me, Always remember that the younger guys are always looking up to you! They see every action, help them out! Love you all

I cannot believe that 1/4 of my mission is gone. It has flown by! It is crazy fast!
