Elder Holland

so this week was better. but our two baptisms got pushed back again. they have to wait to get married first. but with my comp things went allot smother. so this week we had to take the metro which is like that trolley but under ground. and there is a stop called eugenia. most of you should pick up the significance of that one. but we took the metro to aragon where that temple is. we whent to the mtc which is right next to the temple to listen to Elder Holland speak. he spoke to all 4 mexico city missions and the mtc at the same time. it was an awesome experieance. he spoke so directly to us. it was awesome to listen to an Apostle. He spoke allot about making sure our converts stay strong and make it to the temple. i forgot my notes but i might write more about it later. it was such a good and strong spiritual experiance. we are so lucky here in Mexi town.

so im getting transfered tomarrow. im going to be in Mirasoles in the steak istapalapa. i think that im going to be comps with elder alvarez again. he was comps with me when i first got here when we were in the trio. so that sould be really cool. it should be interesting to leave my greeenie area and see what else there is in mexi town.

um i think im like 2 months late but what happened in The Office? how did it end and are jim and pam still together? also survivor who won? any updates on the LLWS? is US going to be in the finals? i miss watching those little kids play. and watching them loose and cry their little hearts out. jk. but seriosly. updates please. and also the chargers.

hey i love you guys and thanks for all of the love and support.

what up,hey this week was ok. our baptism fell through but thats alright cuz we have two for sat set up. they are really cool people they are a coupple and a re going to get married soon. they have christians trying to convince them to not get baptized but they are staying really strong. so we founfd these new family it is 3 sisters who are like 40 years old and they are all pretty cool and receptive. so this week i saw something in the street that gave me a little bit of hope. i saw a Dan Fauts jersy. i got so excited for chargers season to start. i kind of forgot about how suckky the pads are this year. i heared the chargeres are picked to go to the super bowl. thats cool.so my comp has absolutly no manners. he smacks his food and crunches his chips really laoud. when he eats he spreads his elbows out on the table and gets really close to the food and eats really really fast. kind of like a dog. it is really rude.so i learned a new word this week. largartijas. it means lizzard or push ups. pretty cool huh. i think itsa funny cuz lizzards do allot of push ups. so this week should be sweet. tuesday we are going to have a missionary activity in the capilla (chapel). it should be good if the members show up and bring their friends. also on wed we get to listen to jeffrey r holland in the mtc with all of the missionaries in DF (mexico city) it should be an amazing experieance. hope you are all haveing a good week. i love you and write back.amor y dedos elder skaggs
