Bye bye Pradera

Well well well...I'm a but surprised at the letter I have to write today. It's not even gonna be a letter more of a note cause I don't have time. Transfer news came last night and they're gonna do a whitewash on the area and send 2 New elders in and ship me and my companion off. I was sad to hear the news because I would've liked to have been here another transfer even if ir was only for Enrique, Miriam and of course Sergio. I'm nervous for how the area will be because they're sending in two dudes from the US to take care of this place. We told sergio if these guys come in and don't do anything, then he'll have to do it all himself. We went to say goodbye to a lot of people last night. It was a good week I just was shocked. Now where I'm I going? Well I'm going to LITERALLY the farthest area in the whole mission. An area called Jilotepec, Tula, Hidalgo. Im gonna finish training a guy. I don't even know his name. What I've heard about the area is that it's HUGE. And there's a ton of farm land. I think it's a branch. It's the most North you can go in the mission. It'll be a break from the total concrete areas of the south. Obviously nervousness is a big factor but fear luckily isn't a part anymore. Well see though. This morning early we went to go say goodbye to Enrique and Miriam and the made us  chilaquiles. I'm gonna miss those guys. Enrique told us that our mission was worth it because we were able to help them and they're gonna stay active In the church and get baptized. I've noticed that even though I have to obviously improve a lot as a missionary and missionaries sure ain't perfect (I've definitely learned that)you'll do a lot more good helping people in the world by going on a mission than ANYTHING you'll do if you stay home. Anyways bye 

(If I look back leaving this area I'll likely turn into a pillar of salt) 

1. Farewell to sergio 
2. Hermana America and us. (She cooks super well)
3.us the other missionaries and some random lady I don't know
4.me on a pyramid
5 and 6. Us and Enrique and Miriam

 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...
