mexico!

I had an awesome week this week! I made a ton of improvements in the language and am having a ton more fun:) So here are the deets:

Found two scorpions so far, don't worry, we took care of them.

It rains quite a bit, but now it{s only like every other day or so, so I am happy about that:)

I had chicken gizzards the other day, no me gusta...

There are a ton of donkeys here.

Every once in a while someone will ride their house into town, that is always exciting:)

Also in el campo, the country, everybody has chickens and turkeys running around everywhere. In the city there are about a million dogs.

I was looking at the photobook yesterday, can not wait to go back to Hawaii!!:)

The people are very very very nice and humble. I've been in some pretty sketchy houses. Sometimes they only have 2 chairs, so they stand and we sit. Also no toilet seats a lot of the time...also they always offer you something to eat or drink, always, no matter how well they do or do not know you.

I practiced my sewing skills last night because I got a couple rips in my suit pants, I am not sure if you would be proud of me or not...:)

Oh so there is this one part of our area which is like a few miles out of town so we usually take a taxi, but there wasn't one yesterday, so we straight up hitchhiked out to it:)

Toilets of the members do not have seats.

 So we really have only 2 investigators that are really progressing. The first one is Yazaira, and she is only like 9 years old, so I{m not sure she counts as much, her pop is inactive.

The other one is Maurilio. He is awesome:) He doesn't have a ton of faith, but he really wants to. He is about 18 or 20. Girlfriends a member. So we had this awesome talk/lesson on Sunday with him, where me and my comp were able to relate to all of the problems he has been having. The Spirit was so strong there, the promptings of what to say and what scripture to share just came to me, even though sometimes I didn't even know what he had said:) It made me so much more excited to serve! So glad I have the opportunity to teach him:)  

Ok so this week I progressed a lot in the language. I am pretty much at the point where I can discern what people are saying, I just need the vocabulary. This week a couple people told me that I have really good pronunciation:) Also my comp told me that I{m doing a lot better than most other gringos:)

My homesickness has gotten a lot better!

Well those are the highlights for this week. ¡Hasta luego!
