Aight so I know a lot of you guys on this list are cool and tough and all that, but are yall cool enough or tough enough to join the BANDA MACHOS?? I think NOT!!! PS we only sing macho man by the Village People soooo. So I've been eatin big lately because I splurged and bought peanut butter and jelly and I've eaten probably about five sandwiches a day bc anything that tastes like america right now is my fam as in pb&j, rootbeer, and pizza. My ward here is actually the best. My bishop brought me and my compa blankets and a heater because we were eating with our favorite ward hermanas and they asked how we were doing with the cold and we admitted we only had sheets and no hot water. So they called the bishop who called the mish pres who told the secretaries to get us some stuff but they wouldn't till monday so opispo brought us the goods. Also we fixed our water heater in the true mexican way and we got gas so I had my first hot shower in three weeks on saturday! The ward has also started bringing us dinner and not just lunch so I think they have a crush on me and my compa lol. We had a ward party and brought some investigators and everyone was having such a good time! 
I've heard it said that Christ is the "font of every blessing"but i don't think i can testify to this as much as one of my best investigators. When we found him he was drunk and smoking a cigarillo and told us to come back later. For some reason we decided to actually go back later and I am glad we did. My mans was jobless, his wife had left him, and he was about to slip back into drugs but he loved our message so much, he attended church, and is alwasy ready for us. Shortly after hearing about us his wife came back because she heard how happy he is now, he found a job better than he's had before, and he's working on quitting smoking and hasn't drank since. He blames it all on the gospel and that was a big faith builder for me. 
Love you all have a good week!

Hey yall not too much time but my new area is huge and we have this little town 30 minutes outside the city that I can see New Mexico from haha. My new companion is a really hard worker and we get along really well. I live in a house separated in two parts so there's really four missionaries there so that's really fun. There's a bunch of work here, we have like six baptismal dates. I went back to Del Real on saturday to dunk one of my oldest investigators. Gtg, go do some service or be nice to someone this week! peace, Smelly out

aight lol this was a v interesting week. First i got my new companion who is sooooo funny. Hes this chubby lil dude that deep fries everything he eats and then never does the dishes hahaha. Some members gave me a big picture of some indian dude in mexico city carrying a woman so im big culture now!! I love mexico bc they shut off our gas even tho we payed our bill so the members recommended just cutting off the padlock on the meter and so we did and now we have gas lol, cant do that in america. I also took a quick vacation to mexico city for my green card, it was super fun to go with my compa from the mtc and we met up with my friends in cancun. I threw away the super important paper that nobody told me to keep so that was almost a problem but a dude from the mtc came and gave me a new one. I got roped into playing piano in sacrament meeting so thats super fun! Yesterday it rained like none other and by the night the streets were literally filled with water up to my knees and ...

Aight yall one transfer in the field over with! Kinda sad because me and my companion finally clicked this week and had a ton of fun but now he's going home to ecuador. I had to give a talk in sacrament meeting lol so that was funny. We can't go out too much because my compa isn't allowed to be in the sun after his surgery so we chill in the house and listen to our neighbors blast banda all day. I went to the temple with my ward which includes my first convert and two other recent converts. My compa went to a session with the mish pres so i was just like a dad explaining everything to my three sons haha. Kinda sad because one of my investigators that was really into the church, going on sundays, reading the BOM all that good stuff got a new job a couple weeks ago that didn't let him go to church anymore, He stopped reading the BOM and then lost his job, he now thinks its because he didn't put the Lord first but i feel bad bc he's having a real rough time rn. I f...
