slow week

well hello, so this week was kinda a slower week for us not to much success but we have some really promissing families. but our new president is here but i havent met him yet but everyone who has is saying he is the law on the rule book and is enforcing the part in the hair, and has sent a kid home already so hopefully all goes well, our zone conference is the 15 so ill meet him then.
other than that like i said things were kinda slow this week and we didnt get the kinda numbers we were hopeing for but we are still one of the top companionships in the zone and our zone is leading the mission in baptisms so thats cool.
so it sounds like its going alright i sure did miss the rodeo and all the excitement. well thats a bummer about the mtc and families but it was kinda getting out of hand with huge groups of people going in but we made it haha
well i hope i answered all your questions this time haha im sorry it gets busy here but ill get better at it
i love you guys soo much and hope you have a good time at the reunion im gonna miss it
love you

In his last area there was a member who would refill fire estinguishers so of course Josh wanted to see what that was like, as you can see he had fun. Wish he'd sent the one where they did it all down the street!
In the group picture, Josh is sitting next to one of his really good friends Elder Smedley as well as both of their comps, Reyes (Josh's) and Martinez (Smedley's).

Elder Perez, new comp

June 22, 2009
hey hows it going? well this week has been very Interesting to say the least. so my comp is Elder Perez, hes from Colorado Springs Colorado and he has a few months less than me so here we are in mexico teaching people the gospel. his spanish is.... well its getting better haha he just isnt very comfortable with speaking it. but in my new area we have 3 towns Clapala, Cuatzingo, and Los Alamos where we live its cool we live in like apartment type things its aton of houses but they are all the same and right next to eachother so its really easy to work cause if we are knocking doors its really easy haha but we have been having a ton of success we have people with baptism dates up untill the 12 of july so now just have to wait and see who really sticks it out and gets baptised its usually 1 in 4 so a 25% success from the people who go to church to getting baptised so 4 people in the church 1 gets baptized, this week we had 7 people go with us to church and we had to pay for all of them it sucked but its good to see them come with us so its worth it. so me and smedley are still in the same district so thats cool. but im pretty sure our new President comes this thursday because we have a mission conference so its like pres Doxeys farewell and pres Chavez is going to talk and interview all of us so that should be interesting other than that its the same ol work just in a new place, im probably 30 min from my first area here so thats cool im planning on visiting them soon. so today we played soccer, volleyball, and basketball for another 5 hours so now im super tired and just want to go to bed!
so what happened with dustin were thay repeling or what i didnt understand what happened? but yeah well i hope you guys have a good time with grandma up there for a few weeks that should be fun. well i better get going im super tired and hungry so ill talk to you guys later!
give sam and lia hugs and i love you guys soo much!!!
love you
adios

transferred Chalco area

hey hows it going. its good to hear how well sam and lia are doing, i sure do miss them. so yesterday we had the transfers phone call to see who was leaving but my comp had a ton of stuff packed but when the phone call never came we thouhjt we were going to be together another change. so in the morning he wanted to call our district leader to find out for sure cause he really wants to leave haha and sure enough the DL said i had changes ME! i just got here 3 months ago to my 3rd area and now off to my 4th area in 8 months! i move way to much but it keeps it interesting, so last night me and E Smedley were talking about if we both got changed to the same district again how funny and how slim the chances are of that happening but it turns out we are neighbors again! and in the same district. im going back out to Chalco where i started but im in a different area its called Vincente Guerrero its kinda the suburbs of chalco but really poor and dirty a big change from where we are now but i like it out therea lot more relaxed and the members are way cool and humble, so me and smedley are leaving tommorrow and our comps are both americans and we are the senior comps so hopefully my comp knows some spanish at least i dont want to teach him everything because i barely know it! so thats the news about changes, so today we played our last soccer game as a zone and in our last game Smedley came to shoot and i went to block and some how some way my ankle got messed up! i can barely walk on it and it hurts so hopefully it gets to feeling better soon or its goonna be a long few weeks walking on it every day. but other than that i still have to go and pack all my stuff and then say goodbye to all the members so its gonna be a LONG P-Day well othr than that its about it on my side down here i hope you guys have a great week and keep up the good work, tell the hollidays that im proud of them and give lia and sam hugs and i love you guys soo much.
adios
