January 3, 2011 Another week in lovely Mexico!

Oh the time sure is passing quickly here! i`m almost 6 months into my mission!! weird!! Well we had a pretty good week. it was a little difficult with the holdiays, becuase the day before, of, and after new years everyone was drunk. so there was really no one to teach, and a lot of our investigators went on vacation. but we still had a good week, we found 3 new investigators that are pretty cool and we challenged 4 people to be baptized! it was great! so yeah, we definately had a good week here in Pradera! We also had a get together on new years with our district, we were allowed to stay out till 10:30!! So we watched a church movie (states of grace) and ate pizza. it was great! except I really didn`t enjoy the movie a whole lot. the end was lame. very lame. but thus it is. haha oh well...

Today we went and visited some more pyramids! these were smaller and not quite as cool as Xochicalco. But still pretty cool. Sadly the computer i`m on doesn`t have a card reader so I can`t send pictures this week. But maybe next week. It was quite fun!

and though all of you are thinking that the holidays are over... your wrong! theres one more on the 5th! El dia de los Magos Reyos. The day of the Wise men. When the wise men reached christ the baby and presented him with presents. It`s pretty much just another reason to get drunk... and eat bread. They have special bread for that holiday. haha weird. But thus is mexico. They have lots of holidays.

New years day was weird. No one was out of their houses. it was seriously weird. haha we walked around and cuernavaca was like a ghost town, there were barely any busses so we had to wait forever to go anywhere and yeah. it was a strange experience. Yeah well thats about all that happened this week. If all goes well we`re going to marry and baptize an guy this next week. hopefully. and have 3 or 4 baptisms for the week after. I`m really excited for that. we`re getting some pretty good investigators here, I love it!

yeah well I love you all and hope you have a great week!

Love
