im writng really late today, but we went to tepoztlan to see an ancient pyramid.! i am going to send a box home soon enough for you, with a few small gifts and my memory card. the biggest gift ever! i have been trying to take pics of everything, but it is hard to remember sometimes.
angelica is a great member here who speaks great english, and would really love to go to byu to study, if you could please send the info of what she needs to do that would be great. she is currently a student at a college in cuernavaca, and i would like to see if there was any way to help her get there.
well luckily i am better now. it was something in one of the meals i ate that was appearantly very new! i love the food here. everymeal, we have tortillas with it, usually a soup, and usually with chicken. they eat chicken with everything. i would have to say one of my favorite things to eat here, is called picadas. or french toast! haha me and elder snyder eat it for breakfast almost everyday. haha it is wierd to have to provide for myself... i miss you mom haha. for other meals i dont know, i havent have had a ton of stuff. everything is mostly the same genre of meal.
to try to answer some of alyssas questions, there is absolutely no neutral color of house. purple, red, green, blue, yellow, white, black. all made out of cement. when i send the pictures home, you will see a lot more of what i mean. i love laughing with elder snyder about that here, here, you can say hi to anyone, and they will respond. but if i was to do that with everyone on the street in the usa, almost no one would respond. yes driving is insane. it really does scare me when we have to go long distanes in a combie (little bus) or in a taxi. everyone knows to watch out for them. the poverty level really is insane here. especially in anenequilco. mom, i dont know if you would be able to handle coming to pick me up.... bugs and cockroaches, spiders, mosquitoes etc are everywhere in our house. but also there are geckos to help get rid of some bugs. it is crazy hot here everyday, but i hear when i go to acapulco, it is even worse.... everyone dies in acapulco of heat.
we had mission conference on tuesday, and that was incredible! it was good to see president and get his info on some things.
sorry im trying to get through this quick, because i dont have a ton of time. if i dont answer a question this time, please ask it again and i will answer it next time.
i also went on splits with another missionary in my district, so we could get a lady her baptismal interview. splits was great, i was with a mexican companion who didnt know english, so it really forced me to speak 100%. it was great. also that day i saw a moving circus and two huge white tigers! awesome.
with that baptismal interview, it was ana. we are teaching her, and her baptism was last saturday and i did the service. it was such a great experience. the first baptism i went to here, i performed it.
im sorry that i dont have more time, cause i really want to write more! but for today i cant. i love you all and keep up the good work. please pray for karina, luis, alejandra, sandra, guadalupe, jazmin, juan, hector, maria luisa, paty, jesus, cristina, and herlinda. these are some of our progressing investigators who definitely need all the help from prayers they can get! love you all!
