Repentance, The Second Principle in the Gospel

so basically the title is to say im sorry for not doing anything with this since i got here to tampico. i have repented and i am going to be better... but i have decided that the pride cycle is not the only cycle in life... i am trapped in one far worse... The lazyness Cycle, and the problem is that im not cycling anymore. so sorry about the lack of communication back to the states. im beginning to forget that i had life before this one. i think i need to review the plan of salvation again to check out ¨life before the mtc¨

Here I am in Tampico. Im going to have to explain what has happened in these last 5 weeks. First I got here as senior companion to Elder Bautista who had 3 months in the mission. I was his second companion. and we hit the work hard. Thanks to Elder Ewell who i replaced we had a baptism the first week. Elder Ewell is now zone leader and an amazing example. i love good misionaries. Eduardo Cardiel was the name of our first baptism together. we then went one week until we had another baptism. Dulce. She got married to an RM and we taught her the lessons in one week. President and Sister Moss came to that baptism. It caught me off gaurd as i was teaching english they showed up. every one teased me that i turned bright red.

Once again i am in the rodantes (markets) i love it. our district has great success every week in talking to people as they walk pass. we send them away with a free gift and a promise of a visit from two missionaries. plus its just fun to be with the district and get excited about the work. Elder Nelson always makes me excited to work harder.

Then everything Changed. I got a call wednesday telling me that my companion was leaving and i would be recieving Elder Johnson as my companion... And it has been very interesting every since. i just feel weird with a gringo at my side.. and speaking english... or at least trying to... thats definately different. The only pictures i have of Elder Johnson are a sneak peak of our Xmas card. we were defrosting our fridge....

The work is amazing and it is inspired. I wish i could share with you all the experiences that happen daily here. but that would take to long. I hope you enjoy the pictures and remember that letters are always welcome... check with my mom and dad ffor particulars about that. I love you all and i hope you all have a great week.. i definately will, i get to preach the gospel
