Second P Day and Still Going Strong 8-11-16

hello. I am still alive and the food is still good. i hope you all have a good week. talk to you next week. haha jk. so much has happened this week!

Monday was super great! Learning spanish and learning how to teach has been such a great experience. I am so greatful for the chance i have to be serving the lord. (also i only have a spanish keyboard so it has no autocorrect so if there are lots of spelling error its only kind of my fault.)saturday: we started teaching a new investigator in the mtc that turned out to be running a drug cartel, and he is acctepting the gosple well, and has a baptismal date which should be good practice for me in reynosa. i honestly want to get out of the mtc and into the feild so bad.

 monday my teacher is cool, he is like the older brother i never had.hes proposing to his girlfriend next week so that was exciting. Honestly one of the biggest lessons ive learned from him is how important smiling is. he is always so happy and it makes everyone around him happy.

tuesday: we challenged our rival district to a game of volleyball and we totally won. like destroyed them, but they are good missionaries. technically we arent allowed to keep track of score so the game doesnt get too competative but if we were keeping score it wouldve been like 100 to like 5.

Wednesday: was the hardest day of my whole life, a elder in my district told me he was going home, they told me they were going to make me a zone leader which is crazy a lot of work, and we started this new teaching thing where they record us. holy cow. so crazy hard. I was praying the whole day and i wasn't really getting any answers and i was so frustrated. but the lord makes up everything. Wednesday night i was talking with my roommates and we were reading scriptures and while we were reading and just them talking literally answered every single question i had prayed about. It was so amazing.

I just got back from the temple and oh man the Mexico city temple is the greatest thing ever. its like the 4th largest temple i think! it was such a good experience especially since i don't think that i  am going to be able to go to the temple for the rest of the time. oh also i talked to the elder and he decided he is going to stay which is awesome.

  Well basically everything is going great, the food still messes with my body and my companion is still good, and i am just getting more and more excited to get into the field! so yeah I hope you all have a great week! -Elder Hawley
