Important safety protocol

Alright! So this was my first week in my new area, and it was sweet! The area is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pretty, and there are trees! Beautiful, glorious, trees! Ah I love it, But so our house is really nice and just everything is so much nicer than my old area it kinda freaked me out for the first few days. And then so yesterday I taught a primary class all by myself! :D So that was super sweet, and fun, the kids were hilarious. 


Okay cool fact that I learned this week.
How to defend yourself from crazy wild street dogs:
Step 1. Lift up your arms
Step 2. Run at them
Step 3. Finish your transformation as a bear until the dogs run away. 
Step 4. Forage for berries/just do some bear stuff until the transformation wears off.
But yeah really this does work! I had to practice on just a normal calm street dog to see if it works, and I think I gave the dog a heart attack so yeah! It works:) 


Also funny story so last night we were driving home with a investigator and we were in his super old beetle and we were about to drive over a huge puddle and he just speeds up A TON and then we hit the puddle and just like a explosion of water just rushed into the car, like a water cannon and it just hit me right in the face, it was awful well hilarious but I didn't appreciate being wet with dirty dirty dirty water but yeah! That was my week of adventures! 
Hope you guys are doing awesome!

Change!

Well so this week was crazy, so we had interviews with the president and in my interview he told me that I would have a short change. So this morning I left my first area. I spent quite a bit of time this week saying goodbye to the members and my converts. 

But one of my favorite members is the one pictured below. His name is Jose Montecones and he is sooo cool. he is ex-military and yesterday in the night he left Saltillo to go join a mini army that is forming in another state in Mexico to fight all the bad people there. But he is just super cool, humble, and I just really liked him. Also he has a pit bull named Tyson - its awesome. 

But so yeah I got my change and I am still in Saltillo but in a different stake, and my house is sooo nice. I am very excited to be here and yeah next week I will have more to to tell you, like how the area s and everything, But yeah Love you guys!

Mouse Traps and Nails

Alright! So this week was very interesting! We are having to contact a ton, because we don't have a ton of progressing investigators so we are on the look out for new people. We are loving the area, the people here are really awesome and nice and stuff. The ward is super cool and we are working really well with them. Ummm so we are teaching the niece of Juana, her name is Vanessa and she is really cool, she has a baptism date so the is really exciting. But so this week we have been trying to think of new ways to teach, but so we have bought nails and mouse traps and have been thinking of other ideas. But my favorite is I made a new pamphlet out of part of the Liahona from April for the plan of salvation and I put contact paper all around it so we can draw on it. And I have really enjoyed using it for lessons. But yeah everything is really good here, Elder Briggs is super funny, I love seeing him marvel at Mexico and it freaks me out how used to it I am. Like I feel like a Mexican. Also my mom told me that I cant funny so I guess I am a Mexican... But anyways super good week!

I am just a walking dictionary

Okay! So this week was really awesome! First, I got my new companions on Tuesday so I am working full time in my area again in a trio! My new comps are Elder Acala and Elder Briggs. Elder Briggs is new and Elder Acala can't speak very much English so for them I am just a walking dictionary, but its super fun and I am happy to be back. But so one of the consequences of basically leaving the area for a few weeks is we have to find all new people to teach which is rather difficult. But yeah everything is going super good! And we had a baptism Saturday! Alexis our investigator was who we baptised, and he is super cool. He really liked his baptism and is super excited to move forward! Yeah but so we are finding lots of new people to work with out here and I believe we will have alot of success out here in the auora! Gracias por todo!
