9-22

So i would start off with the best but then you would just stop reading so first the normal stuff, so my first week in Mexico has been awesome, just trying to be understood by everyone, because i am understood by adults but teenagers and children i am not. they don´t know some of the words but i guess that´s okay since i use a word that isn´t common which is message in spanish its mensaje. so i just use other words, or i just repeat my self, even though i feel sort of stupid when doing so but i guess practice makes perfect. So since my compainon elder silva is a native i only speak spanish with him, so that helps me with my spanish also.

the work here is alot faster and a little different then my mission in atlanta, here there is hardly anytime that we are not outside, we are outside talking to people usually 10.5 hours a day. okay so this week with elder silva we taught 28 lessons and together contacted 311 which i contacted 152 for my first week that is good, our goal is to teach 30 lessons and 300 contacts.okay so yesterday was my biggest day of my week i contacted 59 people yea alot, sundays are the best day of the week since so many people are home, so its a lot easier to contact people,i think you have waited long enoug so yesterday was my first baptism, how cool is that, well i didn´t really do anything but teach one lesson but still it´s pretty sweet to have a baptism in my companionship. so we are going to confirm her next week, oh just to tell you her name is maria eulalia.

oh and to end on a funny note, did anyone know that mexican elders can go on their missions at 18, my companion is at 16 months in his mission, and i am actually ten days older then him.

so all and all everything is good here
talk to you next week
love ya

So my first few days in Mexico have been awesome because lets start with the funny stuff, so you know how you thought I couldn´t shop in America in a store, well put me in a Wal-Mart in Mexico and you just have awesomely funny because Wal-Marts in America are busy but in Mexico have so many people, and it is so expensive for my one week of food cost be $188 and change so expensive, but if you take in to count that ten pesos equal one American dollar then I only spent around eighteen dollars so it is all good, it is sort of funny to see the sales because they still look expensive. Okay I think everyone has seen the third harry potter movie, with the bus part, well here it is the same driving as the bus in that movie, I first thought it was just the buses here, but yesterday me and my new companion who is Elder Silva took a taxi and found out all Mexican drivers drive just like the bus in that movie, also Mexican cars have some very useless parts, like no one here uses there blinker and also they really don´t need the speedometer. But it is always fun. Okay my mission is still around the Guadalajara area I am still in the state of Jalisco, in the city Tonala, Jalisco. So I am still in a big city it is quite awesome here you will never see carpet here, but that is okay actually there is one place that has carpet and that is the temple. And we were blessed to be able to go to the temple on Friday. The temple isn´t in our mission so you don´t really get to go unless you are special, usually you don´t go till you are a zone leader or something, but we were lucky. So it is awesome very small but way cool still. My house has four elders two natives and a elder who is from California, so far it looks awesome, oh yea just remembered it seems like I might be doing some laundry by hand here so that is going to be awesome. Well that is all for now write again next week.

so hi everyone i made it to mexico just fine i have been here a few days and it has been awesome, the work here is a lot faster, so far in the past two days of tracting i have contacted 42 people my self so i think that is good, so today is the day that i get my new trainer, i think it is going to be awesome president Davidson said that he makes sure that he has a good feeling about the trainer and the trainee so i know this trainer will help me in some way.

so that is all that i have to say today, but i think i get to write tomorrow also. but my p-day is usually on monday but because of the independence day i will have my p-day tomorrow can´t be outside when there is a huge party so bye for now.

oh yea and the mission rules are a little stricter about e-mails so i can only write family members now so if you want to tell others about what i said that would be much helpful since i can't or just have them go on my blog where these e-mails should be being posted

so adios

so today i am back in the mtc,
i know really that is funny to be back here, okay it is now cold to me in utah this morning i was frezzing, i don't like it, i need to be sweating at all times. just joking, so seriously who else can say that they were able to come to the mtc twice, actually who would want to, not me it now really does suck, coming from the real world to this, is painful, but i am only here till thursday morning so oh well

so what i got from atl was amazing, it was an awesome time, i didn't baptize, but who knows i probably touched someone and down the road they will get baptized.so really my letter this week is short but my bad next week will be off the hook since i wont be in this country anymore
