Everything thats going on......Ok maybe not Everything.

Hey Everyone!!!!!

Another update of THE MISSION. As known from ELDER MICHAEL GORDON. This past littlen while has been rather difficult. THis past week has been contacting City. We are trying out a few new tactics as well. We are going around and talking to all the Members that are in our area and we are trying to help them do the goal that the stake has put for the stake. They have the goal to have everyone bring opne person to get to know the church. To try to find the opne that will be baptized and endure to the end.  Its a rather good goal. We are trying to help the stake acheive it. From what we ahve seen all the memebers have a rather good animo for this goal.

THis past week went from super hot to a really good clouded nice breeze week. It has been super nice. Rerally nice for lots of contacting.  This past week my companiopn had a rather fun adventure.  We were heading back from Ranchito Piche whenwhen we had a gang of samurai warriors attack us. My companion and I thought we were done for. We started to defend ourselves with the explosive power of our testimonies and as well as Using our pass along cards and our scriptures as shields. Luckily the sheilds held up. We had taken out about 20  out of 50 when  We were starting tio get tired this was at the end of the day so we were really tired. When Jackie chan jumped off from the building right next to us and starting to help us out.  With his help we took them out easily. We were rather thankful to Jackie but he took off to go help other people. So we couldnt take any photos with him.

Also this past week I lost a battle against the lawn mower. The lawn mower won. I let you know how bad it was. But if you want to send me questtions. And it would definetly make updating this blog a lot easier.  Today we ate at a place called burgers ya. It was fantastic. The burgers were huge. With my burger I started eating it and about 4 paper towels later I finished. With Frys and Cheese. It was DELICIOUS. But send me  questions you want me to answer it will make updating my blog a lot Easier.

Love Elder Gordon

Another update from yuor favorite Elder

What do you get when you mix an island in the carribbean with lots of rain......................some very wet Elders.

Ok enough of the dry humor. Hehehehe.....

Speaking about dry humor  what do you get when you put a hot sun on a wet island.....a humid island and lots of heat and the Elders are still wet......

Ok Anyhow. This past week has been incredibly hot! It has been in the 90s.....I think. Around there at least. Which after having along time since being in such hot weather it makes me glad I am coming back to the States when its cold.....It gives me time to warm up to my desert again. This past week has been full of rejections. We have been tracking a lot and it has been extremely difficult I dont think I have had more rejections in my mssion then here. But whats weird is that I love it. When I am just in  the work. No matter what part of it that I am in. I  absolutly LOVE IT!!!!!!Even if its super hot or Super wet outside. i love it!!!!! My momsent me this really cool quote that I would like to add here.

 It's so hard when I have to, and so easy when I want to.  ~Annie Gottlier

That is such a true statement. I dont like to do things when I have to. But when I want to. WOW. The difference in my work.The willingness and the desire. Its a lot different. I am going to learn better how to appply this to my life. But mainly right now in Los Reyes. Everything is doing awesome. This transfer there are 22 missionaries finishing the mission and only 4 coming in. Isnt that Crazy?????? The mission is going to be come alot smaller. It was close to raining here....agai but I dont think its going to.....I am not quite sure. I hope it will bvecause it makes sleeping at nigfht so much easier. If anyone of you want to know how it is to sleep go into a house without airconditioning .....well a block house that doesnt have any type of insulation not a single fdoor that closes well nor windows that shut. And you have a few open areasesposed to outside. And then only a fan to sleep with......That more or less how we sleep here. And how our houses are here. Its a lot of fun.

Contacting is so fun. You meet so many different types of people. Everyone seems like they have lost their religious valor. Its sad. We have never gotten a door slammed in iour face but we have very few people whop want to listen. You return missionaries I believe know how it is. We have a good week comig up lots of people to try to find because of all the contacting. But its ok we are oing to keep working.

Right now we are in the ward chhoir. For a stake mission conference for this saturday and a stake geneology conference on Sunday. It has been really awesome to be part of a choir again. To sing parts and to sound really good with the Lords help. It has been pretty awesome. We actually have our last practice tronight in about an hour. Thats gonig to be awesome. Well.....Thats about all I got. If you want to learn more feel free o ask qustions. Have a fantasmic week!!!!!!
