We just got 2 new investigators yesterday! They are Lupe and Isidro. They are extremely prepared and they had great questions and they said that they will read and be baptized when they find the truth of it. They were dead set on following God. They were very kind and she said that the Holy Ghost had to be with us in order for her to feel the spirit with complete strangers and that we were able to speak it in her language. She was really touched and she said that she wanted to know. Tell Bryn that titles and positions don't matter. Because of something that happened in the zone, I am no longer a District Leader. It was really devastating at first but then I realized that me being a District Leader has absolutely zero importance on what will happen to me later in life. My mission has zero importance if I take the politics instead of the lessons out of it. So I will just take the lessons and tips I have learned and forget about the rest. I will leave the mission happy and forget the mission as what it is and remember the lessons that I learned instead. So names and places will be forgotten, leaders and presidents will leave my life. But the lessons and what I do with them matter and will always remain.
The rain is coming back this weekend! Yay! I can't wait to see what it does this time :) Tell Bryson and Caden that grades don't matter either, but life does. So do what you need to do to have a life, if that includes learning and retaining stuff in a manner that appeases the government, then do it quick and you will never have to deal with it again. I talked to Dustin and I will be having a career right as I get back but don't worry, I will still help out at the restaurant when possible. besides the disneyland trip, I need to save up for a Guatemala trip hopefully. Do you think that Andrew and I will be on the same plane? I hope so, that would be amazing! Those horses are pretty, you have switched them out so much in the past 2 years that I have no clue which one is named what. So you will have to enlighten me about that! I have already explained most of my week. I honestly can't stand the politics of the mission or the leaders but again, it won't matter if I do it quick and move on with life. We haven't met with Jesse yet, Jesus and Maribel are still doing good, they notice the spirit that we bring as well. Really great people, and the branch is doing a lot better with unity and helping the missionaries! I teach in both languages, the price I have to pay by being in the United States. But I have been told that my spanish skills exceed that of the Branch President and his first councilor, and 90 percent of the branch itself. I still make mistakes, granted, but it comes naturally for the most part. I have memorized over 60 different pages worth of vocabulary in the Oxford Dictionary and I use that vocabulary every day. I will continue to master Spanish and it would be awesome to marry a native speaker. I can teach you Spanish but it will be a process. It will remind you a little of Tagalog. Tell Mason that I said hi, I honestly don't know if I will be seeing any of them really when I get back. It just seems like everybody has moved on with their life which is good for them but a bummer for me. But thank you so much for your support, I love you so much and I am sending a Mother's day card to you today! But have a great week and I love you guys so much,
Austin
