who the heck did BSU play? was it Ohio state or Ohio university, or Miami Ohio? if it was Ohio state i think i might pee my pants. but don't be miss led i don't really care because I'm doing more important things here in Mexico (but please respond to the first 2nd question). so MY comp and me and some other elders that live here close just got back from zumpango. I told you about this new part of our area where we started to work, its where we got the 109 references. so this place is called Santa Inés and its way out in the boonies, and its really close to a air force base. right now all of Mexico is getting read for the big bash that they have on the 15 de September. entonces, the air force for the past week has been practicing for something they are going to do on the 15. so when ever we are over in Santa Inés we always see these planes passing by. at first i was to excited, it was cool but nothing to start screaming like a girl over. but my comp has a bit of a different perspective. the kid saw his first plane in person when he flew to the CCMorMTC. so every time he sees a plane pass he starts to have spasm's, he always scrambles for the camera, and he always is way to late to get a pic. Being around someone with this kind of enthusiasm has rubbed off on me. I find myself every time i hear anything that sounds like a plane having the same type of spasms. we have been talking to a lot of people about how cool the planes are, and one of our investigators told us where the air base is. I called pres. yesterday and asked if we could go, he told me it was out of the mission, but because pres. call is new he let us go. we got up early and spent an hour and a half in a combi only to find out that they wouldn't let us enter the base. we were desperate to find some where we could see all the planes taking off and doing their formations. we knew that the train goes right past the base, so we found the tracks and walked for a good half hour until we found it. it was the coolest thing I've ever done on a p-day. their were hundreds of planes and helicopters practicing. my comp almost died. when we decided to head back we heard the train coming. joking around my comp said we could just jump on the train just like all the immigrants do. when the train passed by he gave them the hitch hikers sign and to our surprise the train immediately stopped and the conductor told us to get on . we ran up to the train and got on. it was THE COOLEST THING EVER. sitting in the train riding back to our area. when we got back to Prado's the train stopped right in the middle of town, right in the middle of the intersection. all the cars were stopped wondering why the heck the train stopped in the middle of the road, and then they see 4 missionaries jump off and every ones faces where like, what the deal is going on. it was the best p day ever.
ok next week ill focus more on telling you about the people we are teaching, but dang how cool was that. I'm sending a couple of pics but you have to see the rest. I love you all, and hope that life is just dandy. I love you all, take care.
with a bunch of love and adrenaline
