The Beginning

These past ten days have been crazyyyy.  Everyone says this but it seriously feels like ive been here for two months, and its been 10 days haha.  Time goes by really slow but it also goes by way fast.  I cant really explain it.  This is a spanish keyboard so its kinda confusing lol.  Today we went to get our visas. We drove to downtown mexico and let me tell ya mexican drivers are savages.  They could care less.  Everyone is cutting each other off.  The biggest car gets the right of way.  There were motorcycles riding on the wrong side of the road against traffic it was so funny.  People walk around the freeway in between cars selling food, we were laughing so hard.  The mexico mtc is so pretty.  There are huge palm trees everywhere and we are surrounded by huge green mountains.  We live in houses and its basically just a big neighborhood full of missionaries on the mtc campus.  Ive been having so much fun here.  Its really hard but ive also never had this much fun.  My comp is  Elder Cebollero and he is from layton.  He is sooo ripped and we work out everyday haha.  We are way tight already and we have a lot on common.  Im super excited to serve in saltillo with these guys.  They are all super cool, i can tell they are gonna e ies for life.  My district is awesome.  Everyone is so funny, I dont think I have ever laughed this much in my life.  We sit in class pretty much all day studying spanish, its hard but a lot of fun.  We taught our first investigator in spanish on the second day.  That was interesting.  We were able to do it though so that was cool.  The gift of tounges is so real.  The other day we were teaching an investigator and my comp said fish instead of sins, so he said christ took away our fish, it was so funny.  Our investigators name is juan, and we are getting another one on monday.  Its cool when your in a lesson and you know zero spanish, and you dont understand them, and you cant figure out how to say what you want in spanish, then the spirit just tells you what to say.  Then I try and say it again after the lesson and i cant haha.  It makes me realize that i truly need to rely on the spirit to be able to learn spanish.  Another funny thing that happened, we were teaching one of our old investigators, tony.  I told him that nephi was a girl hahaha it was so funny.  He still got got baptised so its okay lol.  My spanish is still pretty bad but it will come if i keep working hard.  I can bare my testimony and pray, and keep a simple conversation going, its crazy how much you can learn in a week at the mtc.  I see elder peterson all the time and its super hard not to call him zac.  I still do sometimes on accident lol.  love that kid.  I know this email was short but I dont have a lot of time.  I love you all and I know this church is true without a doubt.  I miss you all, id love to hear from you guys.

Carry the spirit with you at all times! Hola hola everyone!  Super good week this week.  Gonna keep this email a little shorter cause I dont have a ton of time!  I'll just tell you guys all the important stuff! We have two baptisms  this Saturday !! I'm gonna be baptizing them!  Their names are Lisandro and Salvador.  Lisandro is 9, and Salvador is 13.  Lisandro reminds me of Scotty haha.  Lisandro is not quite as energetic but they have a similar personality.  They have a big family so hopefully we can get the rest of them baptized soon as well!  Oh and pray for me cause they have like 4 names and their full names take like 10 seconds to say, and I'm performing the baptisms haha.   Rufina and Jose are doing awesome!  We have a date set with them for the first Saturday of December!  Jose can barely walk, and he cant move the left side of his body very well, we gave him a blessing about two weeks ago, an...
