Hey ya all

So I actually had 2 salads this week during comida with miembros and it was awesome cause they were my first salads in the 2 months that I have lived in Mexico.  We have to take vitamins everyday because we don't eat a lot of vegetables here and if we don't take the vitamins our hair will start to fall our so gg at us ha ha.

This week was awesome for us.  We found 10 new investigators and got a baptismal date with a few others  The work here is pretty rough and slow cause there are a lot of super catholic people but we are constantly moving and working and we can see the Milagros because of it.
  (forgot that word in English)  my Spanish has been getting a lot better but there is still so much I need to learn.  Everyone here has a lot of patience with me which is good and we have actually been able to teach people lessons cause they come up and try and talk to me in English then we start taking and hit them with the restoration and they want to learn more and practice English.  So it helps being a 6 foo tall white guy in the middle of Mexico. 

Out mew mission president just got here this week and so we get to go up to Puebla and meet him Thursday.  It will be interesting to see if he changes anything about our mission.

Love Elder King

Ho la

I'm still alive somehow ha ha this has been a crazy week, but i love it so much.  First off we have 5 cities in our area so we are always going back and forth meeting with people and teaching lessons so we don't have down time, ever, which is good.  Also my legs are going to be steel after these two years cause of how much hills we get to walk everyday.  This area is really really catholic and so a lot of people won't even talk to us they just say.  Soy Catolico and close the door and then well knock again but they won't answer ha ha but I love this work so much. 

There's a returned missionary in our ward here that sells jello to people every morning and he always stops and gives us jello for free which is cool but at the same time sucks cause I hate jello ha ha.  Also I have never eaten so many tortillas in my lifetime every meal with members you'll eat probably 5 or 6 tortillas with what ever food you are eating.  The food here is pretty bomb but I have also eaten some pretty sketch things.

I have also been humbled to my core this week with some of the houses and living situation I've seen.  But I love these people soooo much and would honestly do anything for some of the people that I've met.  Our best investigator right is a 13 year old kid named Filipe.  His family has meet with missionaries before and weren't receptive but his sister and him came to church with us and felt the spirit really strong.  I really do think that it is their time to hear the gospel.

We had a baptism Saturday with a hermana  named Mirian Lopez which was awesome and well and I was able to baptize her which was cool for meas well.

I love you guys and I love this gospel so much.  This week has kicked my butt and really made me doubt a lot of things about myself but through the Lord all things are possible

Amor de mi vida

Hola

Nothing dandy this week down here in the spiritual compound of Mexico.  First off, ya boy is now a zone leader for my last two weeks here in the CCM which is going to be super interesting.  Our zone has two American districts and two  Latino districts so my Spanish is going to be put to the test haha.  It is not that bad though got to love all my experiences here.  The Latinos are my favorite people on the planet they are so nice and humble and they are all soooo funny.  There are about 15 Latinos here that I am super close with and they all call me amor de mi vida  which means love of my life.  There is one that they call my kid and he is like 4 and a half feet tall from Guatemala cutest kid in the world.  Not much has happened down here at the CCM.  all the days are basically the same because we have such strict schedules and never really get the chance to do anything else.  My Spanish has gotten super good because of how much I hang out with the Latinos and every Tuesday and Wednesday we teach lessons with them.  Like they give us Latinos companions for the night and we get to prepare a lesson and teach it with them which is super cool and fun. 
   We were able to watch a way cool devotional that was broad casted from Salt Lake and it was called Be One.  It was commemorating the restoration for the priesthood for all the people on the earth.  It was nice pick me up for all of us here cause it was all tribal music and president Nelson encouraged clapping for it so our President let us clap in the chapel and it was honestly so much fun.  The message in it was awesome to all of us are children of God and the gospel can bless all of our families.  I am so grateful for the priesthood in my life and the opportunity I have to serve the people of Puebla.
I talk to all the workers and they all tell me 3 things about Puebla
the food is good
its cold
and super beautiful
so I am pumped that I get to go their in a week and a half.

Love
Elder King
