Well this week went by so
so so fast. We have been working really really hard and are going to have a lot
more people at church this Sunday, we have 2 baptism dates for next month and
we are hoping one of their family members would make three. The sisters here in
Palmas are doing well and working really hard also. It has been such a great
change so far and I love my companion. I can’t believe that I’m coming up on 11
months..... wow.... The time is flying by so so so fast. This week we also had
zone conferences, and President asked my companion and I to go with him. That
was a really cool experience and I love being with President so much. This
experience is something I will never forget and I love my time here in the
offices. Speaking of unforgettable experiences my companion and I had one
today:
My companion and I went to Zócalo (the heart of
Mexico City) today just to go shopping, see the sites and all of that, and then
we found a huge Basketball set up in the middle of Zócalo with like 20 out door
basketball courts and tons of people playing and watching. After asking around
a bit we found out it was a huge National 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament for all
of Mexico, there were tons of courts but there were two courts set aside just
for shooting around and having fun so my companion and I went over in our white
shirt and ties to shoot around. After a little while we had asked a team that
was shooting around if they wanted to play, they said yea but we have 3. We
told it wasn't a problem and that we would play 2 on 3. My
companion and I beat them, but meanwhile another team was watching and
wanted to play us after, we beat them to. Before you know it we had beaten 5
teams straight playing 2 on 3 and tons of people came over to the court where
no one was originally. Everyone had phones out videoing us playing and laughing
and cheering on the two white missionaries. Before you knew it the camera crew
came over also to start filming us also... We won multiple games before having
to go but it was so cool because after everyone came up and talked to us and
treated us like we were superstars and we got to contact a few people and get
some references, but overall it was such a cool experience!!
I love this work so much, I love everything I am
doing and even though I miss you all so much and even though the time is so far
away, I'm going to be so sad to finish my mission and say goodbye to
Mexico. The mission has made such a huge impact on the person I am and I am
sure for the person I will be for the rest of my life, there is nothing better
and there is no other place Id rather be.
Love,
Elder Adams
