My Church Mission to Mexico City

Question me an answer

Hey Hey,

Things are going well here, I’m glad that a lot of you were together for Thanksgiving. Not a lot of time, so I’ll start with the questions.

…Thanks for the list it makes it easier…or possible!

[I had asked Bryce the following questions. - Tanda]

[How did your baptisms go?]
The baptism was great though it was only one of the five. :) his name is AXEL Martinez Sanchez. We are working with the other 6 in his family right now, they have a lot going but they said they want to have their baptisms in this month.

[When are transfers due?]
Right before Christmas, I’m pretty sure I’ll be transfered this time

[Are you still with the same companion and in the same area?]
Yes which is good because I like him and the area, however I want to get down into Mexico [City] too!

[Any new investigators?]
Yes, every week, unfortunately not all of them are very interested. One of our new Families is a mom Dulce (candy) and her two daughters Dulce Maria, and Ana Laura

[Have you gotten to go to the Mexico City Temple yet?]
No, however I really want to, I don’t think it is possible unless I am in an area much closer to the temple.

[It must be getting cold there, have you gotten yourself a coat or sweater yet?]
Cold in the mornings and nights, like frost on cars and the grass turns white you can see your breath and of course in the afternoon its 85 degrees and I get sunburnt got to love mexican mountain weather! Yes, I bought a coat I haven’t really needed to use much personal money.

[How is your money holding out?]
It’s fine. By the way about sending packages I talked to other Elders and they said unless it electronics or really valuable you can send it normal USPS and it about $30 for 6 lb. or so and it takes about a month in total. Mail it to the mission office and they have never missed a package. So I guess if you want to mail something that’s the way to go, but really I can buy almost anything I need/want here including peanut-butter however its $3.50 a little expensive ;)

[Anything on your Christmas wish list?]
Not really. I have everything I need…maybe some souvenirs from Mexico?

[A spiritual thought or experience?]
Yes, I’ll get back to it next week

[It looks like from your pictures that you and one other elder are the only Americans in your district. Is that correct?]
Yes, but those pictures are old and right now the other Elder in my district is from Alberta, Canada.

[Describe how it is working with Mexican Elders.]
I love it! They have a little bit different way of doing things but its good to learn. :)

[I guess he was in such a hurry he didn't even sign it. But I guess that is it for this week.]
