Hola everyone how was your Christmas!!!!!!!!! I wished so bad I could be there but hey there was some good stuff I got to do out here! I cant tell you how much I loved skyping you even though it might not have looked like it!!! In case you couldnt tell I've been a little stressed haha!! Dont worry things have gotten much better! Christmas Eve and Christmas were very hard with homesickness but for some reason on Thursday I felt better than I have the whole time and it is getting better everyday!
The spanish comes very slowly day by day but its coming nonetheless. Sorry I was so scatter brained and crying I just wanted to tell you everything and be happy for you but my mind was overloaded. Its all good now dont worry. Mom dont worry Ive been keeping very warm at night and had no problems.
Well we had our first baptism this week!!!! Woo I cant really take much credit because she was pretty much ready for her baptism when I got here, but still!!! Woo!! It was awesome!! It made everything worth it to see that Im out here to help people and it can be done!!!
On Christmas we got to go to the chapel with all of the Elders in our district and watch Monsters University so that was way fun. Here in Mexico they party more on Christmas eve so we had a HUGE meal that night with turkey and there was tons of little kids on the streets just lighting off their little bomb fireworks haha! I havent found any corn on a stick so thats sad but there are plenty of moments that are prime for Nacho LIbre quotes but sadly nobody understands them here!
Ive eaten a lot of tacos and refried beans since coming here and its all generally pretty good. Sometimes they mix meat and fruit in their food here which is kind of nasty but its all good thats only happened a couple times. Pretty much the only bugs Ive seen are the flies on all the dog poop!
Haha I love my ghetto, this is totally a place that I wanted to come to! Its been hard because of the language but Im feeling a million times better than last week!! I love you all so much!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you everyone for your support I cant tell you how much it means!!
Have fun at Hollys on new years, Im jealous! They fixed our water heater...kind of. Its tempermental and warm for a couple minutes but still I took a 5 minute hot shower this morening and it was awesome!!! I went on an intercambio on friday with hermanas from the other district in ensenada so that was fun. I stayed at their apartment for the night and it was really fun to get to know other people and see them have so much fun. Again I didnt understand any of what they said becasue they speak zero english but it was fun. The houses in their district are significantly nicer than the houses I work in. they were bigger and nicer even though its only like a 15 minute difference. They only had 3 beds and 4 hermanas so they just stack them together so it was a tight squeeze but it was funny. I gave an invitation for baptism the first time on Christmas and he accepted it was AWESOME!!!! He didnt come to church though so weve got to work on him some more this week. Im getting better at participating in the lessons and I did the first vision the first time the other day and it was awesome!!! Im going to try and do pictures now so just know that I love you so much and Im doing a lot better and dont worry about me!!! Im going to be fine and soon ill love every second here!! Im printing off your emails so if I dont have time to answer Im sorry! Happy new year and I hope you had the best christmas ever I love you all like crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
