Hello again everybody!!!

 

I have been getting a lot of emails about dealing with my companion and such but I want everyone to know that we actually get along really well and the language barrier isn´t much of a barrier. We laugh a lot and have a bunch of inside jokes and all that jazz but yes I will admit there are times I want to hit him but I feel that would happen with anyone you are with 24/7.

Anyways on with the random jazzy things of this past week.

 First I would like to announce my success of scoring 5 goals during soccer last p-day so all you who said I wouldn´t stand a chance against the Mexicans...well you were wrong and why Riverton High Soccer never put me in to play will forever be a mystery to us all.

 Also last week we traveled to Reynosa, and when I say we I mean me Elder Mecham (Arizona) and Elder Maughan (Utah). Me and Elder Maughan are from the same generation and us 3 get along really well and me and Elder Maughan really enjoy eating so ya we brought the treats for this long bus ride. And after we took care of our visa stuff we went to Little Ceasers and it was so good! It was a good day of rest and food and much talk of politics and other such things.

 

Ya all you people think it´s all warm and cozy here in Mexico well that is a an awful ridiculous rumor. It has been freezing here for the past week minus yesterday...yesterday was fine. But for real I have had a jacket and beanie and gloves on everyday and in my bed at night!

The other day we were at the part member family´s house and the told me to give the prayer in English and I literally forgot how to do it and luckily they don´t know English cause that prayer made absolutely no sense and just felt super awkward the whole time.

A nickname I have picked up here that nearly everyone who can´t pronunciation my name call me is "Mickey" or Mickey Mouse so ya that´s good fun.

The Familia Leja Torres. Our next golden investigators. They have a son who moved out and has since been baptized and been a member for about 4 months and has visited the temple twice. They found us and we are now teaching them and they rule and love it all and make us pancakes and hot chocolate so really everybody is winning right now.

Our shower is freezing cold. It is like showering in a waterfall in early June when the snow had just melted. So we use a bucket and put this electric coil in it to warm it up.

Also I still haven´t changed much when it comes to church so yes I did fall asleep and usually do fall asleep in sacrament.

 

Well this is all for this week!

Love and Miss you all!

Elder McQ
