I bought a guitar!

This week was pretty good because today I bought a guitar because it was super cheep and my comp said it would be cooler. I bought it really cheap and I'm trying to learn and I need some good easy songs to practice. On Sunday I had a talk about service and of course that is one of the easiest talks to give, but the only problem I had was that it was in Spanish so it took me awhile to put it together, but I think it went pretty good because I felt good giving it. So I think I got my package because my old comp went to the offices and dropped it off at a members house for me because I was in Centro buying the guitar, but he said it was from someone with the last name Wilson. So I don't know if they sent me stuff or if you sent it with them. Oh and a member wants a Chili recipe and I told her I can get one that is out of this world so I'm going to need that from you mom.

I still need to burn my tie.This week has been pretty good and we got some people that could easily in the future get baptized so we will see how that goes. Having a comp that only speaks Spanish helps a lot because he can correct me and help me pronounce everything correctly. Yea we got a few people to teach and we have a new and his wife is a member and he was born in California so he knows English, but he had a really rough past like he has been in jail and in a gang and other stuff. The cool thing

A bad time to need the baño

What's going on fam,

Wow a lot has happened this last week and I got a bunch of little stories to share about things that happened that I thought was funny. The first story is called "A bad time to need the baño" Well I just finished eating at a members house and really needed to go to the bathroom. So after a few minutes of talking and all that I asked if I could use their bathroom and like always they say for sure. Anyways when I got in there my mouth about dropped to the floor because I was about to relieve myself, but the toilet didn't have any water in it and didn't have a seat. Great now I have to squat above the toilet and hope nothing bad happens. A few minutes pass and I thought all was well until I noticed the bucket next to me full of used paper, are you flipping kidding me. I wish I could have held it because this bathroom was pretty bad and to add to all this the sink was broken too. 

"Who wants a Tamale?" My comp and I just got back to the house when a Tamale vender was right outside our window. We live on the top floor so he told me to turn off the lights so I did. He cracked the window open just a little bit. The Tamale venders in Mexico ride the Nacho Libre bikes around and have horns on the front the yell TAMALES!!! To get there attention you whistle. So my comp cracked the window open and whistled so the guy got off his bike and looked around, but there was no one there. My comp did it like 5 times it was super funny. 

"Watch your step." My comp and I were at the church with one of our investigators to play soccer with the young men of the ward and my comp and I sat on the side. Anyways this little boy about 12 years old was walking in the little patch of grass we have at the church talking to another kid and I noticed a mountain of dog crap in the grass. Honestly it would be almost imposible to miss it, but this kid wasn't looking at the ground and stepped 1 inch away. No way I told my comp to look because this kid almost destroyed his shoe and as I said that he moved his foot right on top of the mountain of dog crap and his friend started to laugh because it seriously almost went into his shoe.

"Baby I'm worth it." This last Sunday right after sacrament someones ringtone started going off and we have a sign before you enter that says turn all phones off, but you know how that goes. Anyways this ringtone was the song Baby I'm worth it and it was going off for about 10-15 seconds the member I was sitting with couldn't keep a straight face and it made things worse that I couldn't either. 

Happy Birthday Mom I hope it was supper awesome and I love you so much and am so thankful that you made the choice to join the church so that I could be here in Mexico teaching others about what truly matters in life. Being here makes it more clear to me that what truly matters is the gospel and family. Love you with all my heart.

Belated Christmas

What's going on family,

Alright this week has been pretty awesome and there is a lot that is about to happen. So this last week I got to talk with you guys and that was super fun and it felt like I was at home and never left, but I wont lie I felt a little weird after because it felt like I left home again. Yeah, but the power kept going out and the I-pad I was using was being super dumb so that kicked my butt a little and was a little frustrating, but all is well.  I loved seeing everybody and Grandmas package got here and the socks were made in China and my comp said that I should get everything alright except the jerky because a while ago he got a package and they only took the jerky. He told me that the people there are just being dumb and to just talk more to his mom because she ships thing all of the time around the world. This week we have permission to watch Disney cartoon movies on the New year because everyone and there dog gets drunk so going out and working is pretty much a huge waste and is a little dangerous. I think the other Elders want to watch Atlantis and some other movies. We will also play some card games to pass the time. Today I asked a guy how much he is selling the Nintendo 64's for and he said he would for about 800 pesos which is literally nothing so I will definitely buy one before I go home.  

Ok so this Saturday I will find out if I'm leaving my area and if I have changes with bags or not and on Tuesday I will find out where I'm going if I have changes so that is going to be super fun and exciting to find out what is going to happen next in the mission. Finally I will finish my training after 18 weeks and honestly I thing I broke the record for the longest time being trained and it was almost 1/4th of my mission. What was everybody's favorite present they got for Christmas? I can't believe that I'm going to be 19 in a few weeks it's my last year as a teenager for the rest of my life oh my word time just flies by so fast. It just keeps getting faster and faster every year. I love all of you so much and hope you had a wonderful Christmas and will have an awesome New Year. 

Love,
