Adventures in Mexico: Transfers

Here in Mexico is fun. My companion, Hermana Boyer, was transfered this week so it is just me and Hermana Batz right now. Let´s just say that communication is not our strong suit right now. We are trying though. I have also gotten quite a few compliments on my Spanish and I teach a little bit more in lessons. I´m also understanding more. I´m not perfect yet, but I´m still learning.

I´m finally giving my teaching time, we missed it the first week and Hermana Boyer was sick the second time, but it´s happening today. I´m excited and a little scared about it, but it should be fine.

We have all been trying to learn how to better teach our investigators. It has been a challenge but I feel like we are starting to get it. I´m feeling the Spirit more and I can slowly see the change in the people that we are teaching.

We are also trying to get the Ward more involved in helping us with teaching people. It´s been exciting seeing the Ward work towards this and last Sunday´s talks were all about missionary work. It was fantastic. Hopefully we can use this burst of energy to have more people help us in the future.

Now, probably the biggest question that you all have. How is the food? Well, it´s not bad. We usually start off with a soup, no matter what the weather is, then it´s the main course, usually consisting of some sort of meat. I´ve had tamales, a taste of chincharos (pork rinde or pig skin, aka not my favorite), steak, french fries, etc. It´s not a whole lot different from the States, amazingly enough, but they eat a lot. One meal the Wife was just handing us taco after taco, they don´t usually eat with us just serve us and watch us eat, I only wanted maybe 3 but she ended up handing me a 4th and tried to give me a 5th. I apparently eat very little here and because of that I´m usually the first one done, which never happens at home.

Well, I think that´s all for now. I will encourage you all to read the conference talks. I´ve been reading mine slowly and it is certainly a joy and a good reminder to look to the future and to help people get there. Love you all.
