Alive and Kicking

So I am still alive and kicking, Spanish is getting better every day. I have gotten into the habit of every single time I dont know a word in spanish I write it down and look it up, so I carry around my dictionary all day and my invesgators all think it is funny. So it has cold and rainy here in Mexico since a little before Christmas. It is pretty horrible, the other day I had to wear my pajamas under my pants to stay warm. So Mexico has no drainage systems where I live so when it rains basically everything turns into a river so me and my campanion have gotten very good at fording rivers recently. So on Friday one of our invesgators is having a wedding! Then on Saturday is the same invesgators baptism, and then on Sunday is her confirmation! So that is exciting. But yeah life here in Mexico is sweet, and the food is super good! I hope you are doing well!

Mexico Mormons

HOLA FROM MEXICO! I hope you are doing well! I love it here, it is sooo warm and the people are awesome. They always talk about me with my compainion. It is rather odd. But I hardly understand anything unless I use all of my brain power then it is not so bad. I can talk but since understanding is so hard I just sit and look at stuff until lessons start. So one crazy adventure was the other day was super windy so! the entire sky turned brown it was gross, but yeah life is good. Mexico Mormon culture is very diffirent. I was at a christmas party at the church and it was supposed to start at 6, but then it was 7, then 8, then 9! Three hours late and we had to go home at this point so that was pretty silly. But so I have decided that contacting people is la mejor, the other night we talked to a family for about am hour and we talked about the plan of salvation, and the mother of the family shared how she has lost many people in family and how much the plan and our message meant to her, so that was sweet, EXCEPT they live like 3 hours away:( so I will never know how they turn out... But yeah I am loving it here and am super excited to be here! I hope you are doing well!

Final Week at MTC

December 11, 2013

Hello family, sorry to hear about all the snow/ice, it has been horrible in Utah - soooooo cold, like 7 degrees. Tell everyone I say Hi, I hope everyone is doing good! Yeah so my travel plans were changed on me but I should be heading out on Monday! It will be nice to be in a warmer area. The final week at the MTC has been going awesome. I am super busy but things are good. Espanol es bueno, hablo mucha espanol durante el semana entonces aprendo mucha. I saw Ben last night so that was exciting, and Quinten L. Cook came and talked to us so that was also pretty sweet. Life is still good and my bags do not weigh to much so I will be good on that front :) but yeah everything is going awesome. Okay so for my final package I am gonna need some better shoes ( yes mother you were correct the shoes I have will not last). So apparently Echos are really good, but basically I need those asap because I wont be able to get shoes in Mexico because they will get stolen before I could ever get them. And the Piano Guys make super super super awesome cds so maybe hook me up with one of those? Anyways I love you guys and I will have better stories next week!

Week Four

Alright, so first things first - thank you and please thank Nicole and Ivan ( Those ties are sweet) for the presents! I did open them because I am leaving a week early to Mexico so I have to pack and it was all kind of big, but so on monday afternoon I will be calling home and then be in Mexico! So it just snowed like 8 inchs here and Umm we have some new missionary's coming in this week so that will be fun. It is odd how everyone that was here when I came in are all gone. But every district that leaves hands down their extra food/general items so as the oldest district we got like 8 boxes of stuff it was crazy, and now I own a pair of sweet pink shorts! I just got called to be district leader so thats pretty neat. Estoy amable for Mexico, es loco perro bueno oprunitida. Utah es muy frio y Mexico es perfecto entonecs eso mucho bueno. I miss you guys but everything is going great here, I will have better stories for you next week!
