This week was sweet! Ok, here´s what happened:
My comp highlights everything when we read stuff out of pmg, like he´ll like a section, so he´ll highlight it, and then end up highlighting the whole chapter:)
My Spanish is improving I think, I am getting a lot better in the lessons!
One of our investigators brought us cupcakes, it pays to be teaching a baker:)
So I tried a wonderful new food called Chicharon, Zack and Dustin will know what I am talking about. But for the rest of you, essentially it is large chunks of spicy pig fat in a soup. No me gusta.
Also had more chicken gizzards, still don´t like those...
Saw a sheep being straight up skinned and gutted while hanging on a tree this week.
Right now it is very rainy and very cold...
Oh so there´s this member in our ward that we ate this with this week. He is older, and spent 38 years working in the states, so he knows English fairly well. Also he brought a bunch of money back with him to Mexico and so he has a really big house, like 5 tvs, scented toilet paper, and real nice f-150:) Also we got to have shrimp, fish, and crab, it was awesome:)
Cantaloupe juice is amazing...
There is a american, white lady in our ward teaching english, weird!
o something I have notice with Mexican men is that once they get to ohhh 70 plus they begin to have an eternal battle with flies. Every time I see an older man he is sitting down and just smacking away at the flies:)
Zack was right, there is no such thing as an ugly Mexican kid...
Our ward chorister sings really loudly, and really tone-deafly so the whole ward can know what pace to go. Unfortunately the piano player usually doesn't agree so it can be a bit off sometime:)
We live over a bakery and when we go down we go through this storage room where the baker is letting the cakes sit, I always want to smash one...
The minimum wage here is 88 pesos a day, or about 7 dollars! A day!
Right now I am in Pachuca! I was finally able to get a camera! Man it is weird not to see all the animals and everything in the streets! Also I am super excited because we are having pizza for lunch!
I blessed my oil this week. It was so cool to actually feel the power of the priesthood flow through me while I was blessing it!!:)
So guess what?!?!?!? We committed Mourilio to baptism! His baptism was supposed to be this weekend, but he didnt come to church this week so it won´t work out:( I don´t know how your missions were, but the investigators have to go to 5 Sundays of church before they are baptized!
So we had this lesson with this old couple this week. The lady was 86, and the man said he was 110;) We later asked his brother and found out that he was only 96, but still that's old! So the man really really like to talk, and he would cut us off like every time. One time he did so to my comp and I just couldn´t help myself! The next 20 minutes or so I was either laughing or holding it back!!:) I felt bad, but something just overcame me! It´s ok though because by the end the couple, especially the man, were laughing with me, even they didn't know the actual reason:) All I could tell them was ¨there's a joke in my mind´ :)
Well folks I know this church is true and that I am doing the lords work!!;) Hasta proxima semana!
