laughing it up with the goofy dog, elder valenzuela

this week some very nice members fixed my glasses for me, i really needed that. my glasses broke and i couldn´t fix them! they had already broken like 6 months ago in durango, but i´d always just glued them together and sometimes they would break again, because the glue isn´t that strong, but i´d just glue them again and it was all chill. but this last time that they broke, i tried to glue them together and i couldn´t! and i went without glasses for like a whole week. and while i was in a food appointment with sister zamora, i showed her my broken glasses and told her the story and she took them from me and the next day i came back and they were as good as new! in a new frame! wow! i´m grateful to these good people.
also we had a missionary conference this week with a setenta, the president of the area of mexico, elder valensuela, he is an amazing guy, i was really impressed by the considerate way that he treated all the missionaries. and his testimony was really strong.
i also got sick this week! like i just got a fever for a whole day i was in bed all day and they gave me a blessing and then the next day i was more or less better, i think honestly i was just really really tired, so much so that my body shut down and i got sick. I think training is actually pretty taxing. i´m like, in charge of everything man. low key hoping that i don´t train next transfer to end my mission.

love all of you homies and all yur lil homie loves.

hey we had Christmas this week. we ate turkey and got to call our families. that was really nice. this week we also saved a cat. we were at like a little park gazebo and some little kids were next to us playing with this dying kitten. the cat was dying. he was crying and trying to get away, but his back legs didn´t work so he was just crawling and it looked really horrible. the kids told us he got hit by a bike. the little boy was like grabbing him and shaking him and it was pretty cold out. and it really seemed like the cat was going to die. so now we have a cat. he´s doing a bit better.  Elder Grilliot

New Camera! Elder Saico  My goofy smile look (Here is the gentleman that is blind that I shared in this week's letter.) okay well we have already got to go but man wasn´t it cool that i sent pictures this week? more next week probably some higlights from this week some of our friends told us some wack stories we talked with this guy who is really cool, he used so much drugs that he went blind, and then he left all the drugs and he told us that he is much happier blind than he ever was being an addict, he told us about the way that an addicts mind works and it´s really ugly. it really opened my mind. Drugs ruined his life and he has scars all up his arms because he tried to kill himslef with a razor. now he´s a really happy delightful blind man. his dad shined our shoes, his dad is ex police, he has some crazy stories too, he was almost killed a few times. like they kidnapped him ...

Muscle Boys Go!

I started teaching elder Saico some good phrases in english, he wants to go to school in America. One of the phrases that i tried to teach him was "Doof McMuffin, the greatest horseman that ever lived." but it didn´t stick. So this week we made a new power phrase, following our secret handshake, we throw our hands in the air and shout, "Muscle Boys Go!" At first he didn´t like it, but he began to realize that he could get me to laugh every time he says it, and so he uses it now to encourage me. Use Humor Earlier today i received some revelation that i was really needing. This has been a hard week actually. I´ve just been feeling grumpy and kind of stressed. And last night i had the funniest dream. I was hanging out with a bunch of guys from the NBA and they were just joking around, and in my dream i thought they were Sooo funny. like I’m almost sure that i laughed in my sleep. and i woke up and we went and bought groceries and i ate really well. i mixed scra...
