Fetching Legendary

Well the explanation for the title is first, the word "fetching" is the most common word in the mission field, and wether I like it or not, it has become a part of my vocabulary. The thing that was legendary was conference. There was no broadcast for the ward so since we were just watching with a few missionaries, I was able to watch all of it in english. Now don't worry, I'm not about to get all spiritual on you, but the talks were so good. Also according to President Nielson, freaking buckle up. If you're reading my letter and you haven't watched conference, stop reading right now and go watch it because I promise you’ll get more out of one talk then you ever will from my dumb ol' letters. 

Alright. Hello everyone. I don't have a ton of time because we have transfers later so rejoice you don't have to read a long letter today. I'm getting a new companion but I'm staying in the area. My current companion is going home, and let me tell you how hard it is to see people leave when you have sooo much time left. 

What's else happened this week? Well on Tuesday we were walking back from an appointment and we walked past a very large army of catholics and it was really awkward cause they were just staring at us. I was really afraid we'd have to resort to a "1 Kings 18" level showdown. The same thing happened yesterday too and every time without fail they just stare at us and then yell at us that god loves us.

I won't be able to include any photos this week and I'm annoyed because this week, we were walking to a member meal, and we had to cut through a large farm and it was so amazing to look at the wide open fields and animals. (The real reason I'm mad I cant include pictures this week is because I got an awesome picture with a donkey that I wanted to include) 

The rest of the week wasn't extremely exciting. We did a little service for a family in our neighborhood. We moved some cinderblock and dirt onto her roof. We could’ve had up to 3 baptisms this week but they fell through. On Friday we went to the mission office for an end of 6 weeks meeting. Those are always fun, cause I can talk to all the other new missionaries but coming to think of it I'm not 100 percent sure what the exact point of the meeting was, but really it was fun. After, we walked with our companions so they could go get the second dose of the vaccine. It rained a ton this week and I know when I get home (one day) I'm going to miss the thunderstorms here. 

Saturday and Sunday were so awesome cause of conference. We watched some at the house (my comp was sick after the second dose)  and the rest at the church. But again it was so awesome. Although I do have to say I was also super homesick watching conference too. 

Well thats all for today. Later we're returning to the mission office to get new companions. Even though ill technically still be in training i'll be expected to know everybody and now how to get everywhere and I'm REALLY nervous for that. Anyway read the scriptures and bye.

 I don't really have a title this week, but I was informed by my companion that if I was from México this would be my name cause everyone here has about 8 names.  Lets see. This week wasn't all that eventful, but I suppose I should write anyway lest the wrath of those who for some reason enjoy my dumb ol’ letters be invoked.  Túz day- we had our final exchanges of the transfer. I was with Elder Randall from Montana. We didn't have a ton of things to do. We went to the Stake Presidents house (who I'm convinced is way to nice of a man to be a Stake President) to eat. 4 missionaries went, and we had pezole and they always have tostada shells with crema, and I once in another letter mentioned it, but the shells with crema are the greatest food on the planet. Afterwards we walked back through Cañada (the coolest part of the mission) and went back to the church and then Elder Randall’s area, which is really cool. We only had one lesson that night so me and Elder Randall went ...

Sunday was just weird

Its true it was but ill get into that  Tuesday was pretty boring. In the afternoon we went to Quma and I don't know how many more Quma trips this guy (me) can take. We taught some people including our one legged friend. Also I'm not kidding I saw ANOTHER one legged dude in Quma. Thats about it though I cant really think of anything that interesting that happened on Tuesday. Wednesday was the same thing not a ton, but a Lady gave us money for KFC (the same who last week told me a gargantuan American like me could easily inhale 10 pieces of KFC. Well it wasn't EXACTLY like that but) and we ordered 8 pieces but for some reason they threw in 7 more for free. KFC is good but when you have that much, it becomes a daunting task and KFC seems like a monster of skin and grease.  Thursday ALSO was quite uneventful but in the night some dude named Alejandro came to the church for a lesson. I’ve mentioned him before but he's just weird. He's always got a look like he's dizz...

I thought he was dead

 Hi, This was one of those slower weeks I'm sad to say. Tuesday was district conference and all that. We had some lessons planned for the night and so we walked to this one guys house for a lesson with a member and he wasn't there and that was the second time that this is happened with this guy so that wasn't great. Afterwards we went to teach Silvestre and he invited the lady he lives with to listen so that was good BUT we found out he has to get divorced and married again.  Wednesday we visited good old Norma. She showed us randomly a ton of pictures of central México city and I want to go sooo bad. Norma was also super excited cause someone had asked her what church she went to and she told them and she was so excited she had shared the gospel. I'll miss Norma when I leave.  Thursday was Thanksgiving and all that so I was expecting to be feeling all sad, but luckily I didn't have time to think about that cause we were super busy. We went to Quma and we taught som...
