Week 2 in the field!!

   Hola everyone!! Sorry i didn't write last week!  These last two weeks have been the best, and most exhausting weeks of my life.  Sorry for my grammar, this keyboard is terrible.  I cant believe Its already another pday.  I'm convinced time doesn't exist in the mission.  If time keeps on going this fast, my time to come home is gonna be tomorrow lol.  

   

   I just gotta say that Mexico is completely different than the states, but I love it.  Being here has been so humbling, and has really made me truly grateful for how good of a life I had back at home, and how good it is now too.  I am gonna be taking a cold shower for the next two years, yikes.  The only way to get warm water is to buy gas and connect it to your house, and Its super expensive so Idk if we are dong that.    Yesterday and today I killed about 25 spiders.  I felt like changing things up a bit, so while I was ironing my pants I burnt one with the iron lol.    

  My area is called Sabinas, its about 5 hours north of Saltillo.  The people here are so nice and humble, for the most part haha.  Everyone here loves to talk, you can just walk up to someone who is sitting on their porch and start asking about their life, the culture here is completely different. 

   We are working super super hard every day!  My companion is from panama and he is sick!! One of the funniest dudes ever.  His name is elder Lorenzo, he is 20 and he has been in the mission for a year.  He doesn't speak any English, its hard but it has helped my Spanish so much.  We have a lot of investigators right now, and four of them have baptismal dates!!!  

   Spanish is soooo hard!  The Latinos speak extremely fast, and slurred.  Sometimes I don't understand a thing someone is saying, then I can understand someone else just fine, its interesting how differently  people can speak the same language.  My Spanish is getting better every day though!! The gift of tongues is so real!  

   Sorry for the super short email this week, I don't have a ton of time.  Everything is going well!  We are working hard everyday to bring more souls unto Christ!  I want to end by giving you guys a challenge, just try to be grateful for all the things you have.  I didn't realize how great I had it, until I got here, not that its bad here, its just not nearly as nice, and there is a lot of poverty.  We have so much to be grateful for, especially the Gospel in our lives, so don't take for granite all the amazing things you have!! I love you all, have a great week!
