hows it going? fyi the thing with hermana flakes sister is just a joke...dont worry. i cant beleive im almost out of here its kinda of wierd. i dont feel ready, but thats what every one has said. and this morning we had this guy come in, i will get his name later, but he taught us about the apostacy. it was as a 4 and a half hour class. it was all in spanish but i learned so much. we preatty much covered why all of the churches got corrupt and why. it really put my brain to thinking of how satan does whatever he can to break down all that is good. incredible. and i understood most of it and barley even listedned to the translator we had. not much has really happened in the last little bit. its been the same old thing as usuall. its getting so hot here. im used to haveing christmas when its cold not when its 80 degrees with 70 percent humidity. and thanks for the letter with the stamps in it. i havent recived anything else. the mail system here is preatty unstable. and a thought just popped into my head. the driving here is so crazy. like when dad describes the driving in boston. like they have no space and go really fast. its about 10 times worse here. it can be quite an adreanaline rush. for example our first day of prosyliting we got hit by a car. we were stopped and the car in front of us went backwards and hit us. and our driver didnt even flinch. he just waved. crazy stuff. and when your next to some one your only about 5 inches away from them. i could literally reach out and poke some one. which remindes me. an elder from the last transfer before me stuck his body out the window on the bus and he was giving a pamphlet to the person in the car next to them. crazy stuff here. and they are all cars that i have never seen before. and also i have some rules here in the CCM. like enjoy the little things and cardio. stuff like that. and something for dad here...i have been having a tough time here with hermana collins. she is in my district. shes really negative and has a problems. she has alreaddy been talked to by the president 4 times and its not getting better. and every one is feeling the negative efects in the district. there was a lot of complaining. and i just thought of it as a trial and why are we complaing? we need to love her and help her. and one day i volenteered to give a spiritual thought about loveing one another and how it helps us. theres acouple of scriptures that i want to share with you. in section 123 the very last verse states we must do all things cheerfully and a scripture in section 88 about we must love on another. so i challenge my family back home to be cheerfull in all things and love one another. no mattwer hard it is and how much it suck. it blesses our lives in ways we dont comprehend. i have been following these two scriptures and it helps. i dont complain as often and i think more about others thatn how much something bugs me. also oi got new companions too. i guess its my first transfer. my two new comanions are elder duke and elder minter. i had to change rooms and evrything. and its going all good. and elder minter was made our new district leader. so its fun stuff here. i cant wait to hear back from ya'll. oh and also, dad can you find a buch of stuff on porter rockwell. like stories and a biography. they were talking about him and iwant to know more. and also can you share some info on scriptures are good to use on investagators and why. and also do you hjave any good deep doctrine you could share with me. and if i can ask one more thing. could i get some some beeks on gospel stuff. for example grandpas book and a book about modern daay prophets profecies and revelations. i heard some cool stories on that kind of stuff and i would be nice to have a book about it. and people here say that a prophet talked with bigfoot and said he was cain. could you do some reasearch on that too. thanks
con amor...jake
