I still didnt get the package, i did not feel the earthquake. Training is good, my companion is super good, super direct which sometimes make me uncomfortable, but direct is good. Who won the 5k? what is your spar class? i thought cary didnt do box for all the insurance stuff. you should send me workouts that dont involve legs, or effort. we go to church for 6 hours every week and this week i heard some cool quotes, the sound cooler in spanish, but were originally english so ill gfive you it in spanish and you can find the original. "no hay paz si no hay confianza, no hay libertad si no hay lealtad" by Gordon B hinckley. Also i have been thinking a lot about why they are so many freaking less actives and i studied in lehis dream when they eat the fruit of the tree and then leave in forbidden paths. people fall way because they fear men more than the love God. For language study my companion tells me stories of chasing girls, but he tells the stories in english which makes it 100 times funnier. His english is actually pretty good, but sometimes he speaks to me in english and i have no idea what he is trying to say. He said "lets go beach" like lets go to the beach, but with he accent it sounded like a bad word, use your imagination, and i thought i was going to have to fight him right there. this week we took a taxi from colima to manzanillo instead of a bus, which is a few hours, and the taxi driver was from the US and he bought someones social security number to try to join the airforce but the didnt let him in (obviously) and then they deported him for attempted murder, "i didnt even kill the guy, just almost, but now i cant go back like ever because apparently im a danger to society or some bull---", he cussed so much and i was dying laughing. he was a piece of work, ill tell you what, but he gave us pizza so it was chill. The other zone leader is 26 and worked 8 years as a bar tender and is super chill but he knows how to talk people up because of his work, he is super smooth and its way cool. Also, it rained a ton. Thursday night one of the zone leaders slept in my hammock outside and the other one in my bed, so i slept on the ground outside and it started raining in the night and so i went inside, but the person in the hammock didnt wake up until later when he was soaking wet and was the only one outside and he got all mad at me, idk why its my fault it rained. It didnt stop raining until yesterday in the afternoon and after our food we were walking and saw a member that is 86 helping a lady who her store flooded so we went and helped her, and she gave us a hammer and a chisel and we made drainage path things in the floor of her store so that the water would leave, that was super fun. We were talking to the lady about religion and asked the hermano to share his testimony and he said "i know the church is true, i know thomas s monson is the prophet, i cant remember much else but its all true" and  he said he got baptized with us, and said he got baptized three times and the lady said god was going to punish him for getting baptized so much, and he started to explain that that is what he thought until he found the true church, and it was so awesome, then the lady said "and which church is the true church" and the member says "well all of them" and everything went from so good to soo bad so quickly, i was laughing. Thats pretty much all that happened this week.
