Dear Familia,
Oh my goodness this place is so cool because I can get anything I need just
a couple of blocks away from my house in every direction and the food has been
super good so far. I have been really blessed with not getting super sick yet
and the people are really nice. Where do I begin...well we didn't get any rain
from the storm and we were getting ready for it by getting extra water, food,
etc. Thankfully though it died out pretty quickly. Yesterday I got the chance to
eat some grasshoppers and they were pretty good because they tasted like peppers
and lime and I have some pictures I will try to send. Ok so every Sunday they
have choir practice after church because they are getting ready for stake
conference and they want me to be in the choir because my comp plays the piano
and they need more guys, so I joined and I'm telling you they are really bad.
Remember at Kyall's farewell the church choir was pretty bad and Kate looked at
you and said,"Oh my gosh they were absolutely terrible." It is a thousand times
worse than that day. My comp and I for Halloween are going to wear super hero
shirts under our white dress shirts and it's going to look super cool because he
is going to be Clark Kent and I'm going to be Captain America. It is going to be
super cool. Here in Mexico we have competition for teaching people. The
Jehovah's Witnesses tell people that the Book of Mormon has weird stuff and that
none of it is true, but the really funny part is that they talk to people about
my comp and I. They say we are really handsome and strong and they might see us
walking around sometime to try and talk to them. The best part is they gave me a
nickname and some of the people here call me that. They call me Goliath because
they think that I am huge and strong, but can be slain by a rock haha. No
seriously though they call me that and others because they can not say Wolford
they call me Waffles, Gigantic, Lobo, and a few others. My Spanish is coming
along everyday, but I still can't say a whole lot. I can understand a little bit
more though which is good because now I can tell if they are making fun of me or
if they try to trick me as well as when they say,'' Oh you don't understand do
you? Anyways my comp is awesome and my area is really great because the members
here are really helpful and they always have food for us and to be honest I
might gain weight here rather than lose weight. We had an awesome lesson with an
inactive member and it was super cool to see the change of heart he had during
the lesson. You could even see it in his eyes. I did't say much, but my comp
said exactly what needed to be said it was so cool. Well I love you all so much
and can't wait to bring you here someday it is so flipping awesome.
