first off my companion elder cooley got called to be a district leader! we found out on firday night. the great thing is we will BOTH be staying in our area! and probably with a car, although except for sunday and p day and our meetings on friday we will probably be using the bus... but it is very nice to know that because i was just starting to worry (a little bit because i am really working on not worrying about things i cant control- im getting better at it...) anyway but now we know before transfers whats going on... what a relief!
some small stuff... they were filming the TV show castle at the same place they were filming ghost whisperers like a month a go... i think dad said that he might start watching castle/that it looked interesting... kinda cool... they film a lot in my area but no movies yet just a lot of tv shows and commercials... so no star spottings yet even though we drove bty the grammys on the way home from church the other day... just A LOT of limos hahaha
i also at an entire Habanero pepper in one bite the other day at the Chavez house... (they didnt force me to haha) yeah it was really really hot hahahahaha (its the hottest commercially sold pepper in the world...) and the mexicans even think its super super hot! hha
elder cooley got the opportunity to through away some marijuana for one of our investigators named herbert. he is really really nice and progressing very well but we are still working on some word of wisdom issues...but obvi he is making huge strides! right now his date is for v day
i got the opportunity to preform my first baptism! and give my first talk in spanish in sacrament meeting! on the same day! both went very well!i baptized jorge! and his whole family came. it was very wonderful and happy, it was amazing because i was really stressed with filling up the font which didnt look like it would fill in time (we were talking about baptizing him face first... haha) and everything else but right before i said a prayer and i was very calm in the minutes leading up to it... it aws a good experience and a lesson- it should never be about us and there is NEVER a need to worry... just do what you can control, work hard and the rest will all work out... and nothing is ever the end of the world (except after the second coming... but that hasnt happened yet... haha)
i love you all!
sorry i dont hav emore time!
love
elder myers
