Jacob Max—Mexico City North Mission

So it's been a week in a new area. I cant believe I’m already in my 4th one. I was able to recover most of the emails that I wasn’t able to find on the last phone I was using, so if your randomly here again after like 12 weeks of not getting the letters, that’s why. Anyways. I got to the area Monday night. The areas pure farmland and open country, with corn fields and mountains forests and hills. It's also big. Sometimes we have to take buses 30-45 minutes to go see someone in the area, for this mission its insane. Also im quite grateful to not have to smell Mexico City/Ecatepec every time I walk out the door.  I realized as it was too late, that I had left my dang backpack in my last area with all my scriptures and journals and my copy of Jesus the Christ (a book I’d highly recommend). It really sucked to have left the thing. My comp luckily lent me a large backpack that I've been using until I can somehow get my old one back and I've been using different scriptures (w...

Well well well...I'm a but surprised at the letter I have to write today. It's not even gonna be a letter more of a note cause I don't have time. Transfer news came last night and they're gonna do a whitewash on the area and send 2 New elders in and ship me and my companion off. I was sad to hear the news because I would've liked to have been here another transfer even if ir was only for Enrique, Miriam and of course Sergio. I'm nervous for how the area will be because they're sending in two dudes from the US to take care of this place. We told sergio if these guys come in and don't do anything, then he'll have to do it all himself. We went to say goodbye to a lot of people last night. It was a good week I just was shocked. Now where I'm I going? Well I'm going to LITERALLY the farthest area in the whole mission. An area called Jilotepec, Tula, Hidalgo. Im gonna finish training a guy. I don't even know his name. What I've heard about ...

So. This week wasn't the most exciting in the terms of anything but this is what happened:  On Tuesday were went to district council and all that, we went to go eat. Later we went to go see this guy were teaching named Enrique. (Were literally teaching like 3 people with that name I have no clue why) he's a nice guy but he's one of the MANY that just talk and talk and talk. He talks about a lot of uncomfortable topics as well and its difficult to just sit there and listen to him. Plus he doesn't really want to go to church. He reads the book of Mormon though. We'll try to have one more lesson this week to see if we can get him to budge but if not it's probably adios. Later we had to go to the Stake Center to teach a guy named William. He's someone the sisters are teaching but dude to unfortunate/uncomfortable circumstances were teaching him now. He's a nice guy I suppose but has some commandment problems. Also trying to teach a lesson with 4 missionaries...
