HOLA

Hello everyone.
Yes, I feel like the prodigal son, returning to writing you all this email after such a long time of
neglecting it.
Things are going well here. We had 3 baptisms 2 weeks ago (I think I already told you this
and sent pictures). The recent converts are all progressing and
doing well. One already received the Aaronic Priesthood.
Today we went to the Centro again and visted the National Museum of Athropology,
one of the most recognized in the world.
It was really amazing, but really big. We spent about 2 hours and got through about
3 rooms out of the 25 different rooms available.
We got to see the original Aztec Calendar and a replica of the Maya Calendar
(the one that supposedly says the world will end in 2012).
It is really really big (the aztec calendar) and really neat. Also we saw some
of the huge heads carved in huge stones by the Olmecs.
I don´t have my camera with me, but soon I will send some pictures.
It was really neat, but you have to go with lots of time to see everything.
There were lots of ruins to see and lots of stone sculptures. Quetzacoatl
(the ´white´ god that visited) and the feathered
serpent were both there. It was amazing.
Apart from that, this was a pretty slow week. We had a lot of appointments fall
through, but we got to do a lot of
exercise and walking, so thats plus. And lots of street contacts.
We have a zone conference next Tuesday,
which should be good. It´s a new zone and a new area. I´m also hoping for
some new exciting announcements.
President said a litte while ago that the church is thinking (THINKING) about
giving us cell phones here.
I really hope they made up their minds already because calling cell phones
from public phones is a huge
cost to us. Especially when we have to report our numbers and successes.
All in due time though.
I have really been progressing, learning to be more humble most of all.
I never receved in-field training
when i got here, so my companion and i are learning together.
I know this gospel and church are true without a doubt in my heart or mind.
I have a greater understanding
of missionary work and this gospel. I could never give it up. It´s the truth.
I love you all and wish you the best.
Love,
Elder Bunker
