Missionary Moments from San Antonio, Texas: Half Way Through the CCM!

Okay so I was bored and I figured out that by the time I leave the CCM I will have 22 months left on my mission, I get that bored sometimes :/ Also every Tuesday night is pizza night and last night I had 5 pieces so I think that was the fullest I have been while I have been here :) I have scored four goals while playing soccer and played goalie and made some awesome saves!! So far Gym is my favorite part of the day! Also, me and my companion Elder Najarian, who is from Bountiful, Utah, we are now Zone leaders!! Only 3 weeks in!!

We just taught Juan about the word of wisdom which was interesting because we were all ready and half was through he asks is marajuana is bad because he smokes it, so we explained to him that because Adam and Eve ate the fruit, God put both good and bad natural things on the Earth. But he has stopped his addictions which we were happy about!!

On Sunday we watched the John Tanner story which I love!! It was cool and I learned so much more, probably because I am on a mission so I related more to him.

Also this week our hermanas pulled a prank and got us to practice singing for sacrament meeting, then they told us that they were joking with us (I was watching another district have sunday school when this was announced) then we did end up having to sing because the branch president heard about our practice haha. It went well, we sang Praise to the Man (in spanish) I actually love singing in spanish. So later that day we had one of the other elders pretend he was going home and he got his face wet and everything and walked in and told us and went out of the classroom. The hermanas were dead quiet while the rest of us were trying not to laugh! Then he came in and said " Psych!!" It was so funny watching the hermanas react, Hermana Howell threw her scriptures at him, thankfully he caught them. That was probably the best part of the week!

There is this man here who makes homemade scripture cases and we get a picture and our names, mission and a scripture on them, we saw some samples and they are incredible! so I got two, one to hold my spanish and one to hold my english, it was about 90 dollars but I think it will so be worth it and something I will tresure forever!! When I get them I will send pictures of them!!! (The scripture he chose was D&C 50:24)
