HEYYYYYY!!!  Wowza this week will go down as one of the wildest, most fun weeks of my entire mission! We got a lot of work done, put some more people on date for baptism, hit my 1 YEAR in the mission, and the cherry on top is Hurricane Grace absolutely pounding my entire mission leaving more than half of the missionaries without power, houses flooded and even some missionaries evacuated from their areas. Here's the spill... La Zonaaa Last P-day was soooo dope! We did a lot of cool stuff. We woke up really early in the morning to take a bus ride down south to a small town named Xico. This town is so beautiful. Filled with murals, cobblestone roads, colorful walls and cathedrals I couldn't help but get an Italy vibe. Next to this small town is this massive waterfall (nothing comparable to Hawaii but still really big). We hiked down to the bottom with the entire zone to take photos and take in the beautiful view. Many movies have filmed this waterfall including Indiana Jones so it

Buen día viejo lobo pachones!!  Sorry for not sending an email last week, I didn’t have time. We were way busy helping out President and the missionaries in our zone.  Pato About a week and a half ago... I was dying. We ate at a members house and they did not stop bringing out food for us.

I literally felt the Spirit carrying me during those contacts and lessons because the stomach pain and the migraine al

After a long week sleeping on the floor in a dirty, crappy house we finally moved into our new house. I can easily argue that this house is the best in the mission. Nobody has lived here, it is brand new, there was still plastic on the toilet when we arrived. We are also in a gated apartment complex with a security guard. Living that first class life in México! The boys Every time we talk to a taxi driver and explain to them where we live, they always get excited and say "You live right next to the Black Cat!! (Strip club)" There's a reason why we are supposed to be inside by 9:30. They play some wild music. Volcano My companion lost the keys to the house and was really upset because he is so prideful about never losing anything. We eventually found them and he kept shouting "I knew it was there this entire time!!" 😑 Someone we contacted on the street told us that she is going to divorce her husband because she is in love with my companion. We stopped teaching
