may the cuarto be with you
sup peeps,
so this week was interesting, first because of the whole opening
an area thing, and second, because this area is basically the opposite of my
first area. matehuala was a small town with a few people, aguas is huge, our
area is impossible to walk across (though we ended up doing it a couple times
because we got lost.) but basically we have to take public transportation
everywhere. there are taxis and buses but what we use most are the combes (i
think its pronounces for you guys like comb-bees) which are basically just big
(tnt berry style) vans that you get rides in.
our area is way different too, we have the super-rich
privadas that make you guys all look poor, we have the average old suburbs
(though a bit mexicanized) and we have an area that is pretty poor. (still
safe, our whole mission is), the people are a lot less
open. right now we are living with the secretaries right now, elder g and
elder h, so our house is super duper fresa (strawberry or fancy, pick
your favorite) and you might even think that we were loaded, except for the fact
that we are all dead broke, and with all the transportation cost we managed to
burn through our personal money and emergency fund, but it’s all reimbursable
and we just got our mensualidad so todo
bien.
the work is good but still
bit slow. for the first five days we only had one lesson every day, but
these last few days we have had like 5, so we are starting to get the hang of
it. the assistants left us with 2 people preparing for baptism, so this saturday
we have an 8 year old girl l, and the next week we will have the wife of
a menos active, both of them are great.
well that’s it for now, but if i left anything out i can
fill you in on sunday, still don’t know when we will call, but i will try so
shoot for later. like 6 or 7 here (4 or 5 california time). yup, peace out.

ps oh yeah, be good, os amo
