We passed a football stadium this week and I asked what college it was… it was a highschool. It was literally a stadium. Also all the churches here are massive!! They don’t lie when they say everything is bigger in texas! I’ve been unimpressed with the food here. Idk if its cuz I’m in a spanish area and only get mexican food or what but the fast food here isn’t as good as people say. Like Jack in the box, whattaburger, and the waffle house. I hate to say it but I was expecting it to be a lot better than it actually was. Don’t get me wrong Canes is amazing butttt Texas better step up their game.
Margarita!!! This lady is awesome!! Shes the one whose father past away from covid. We have been teaching her over the phone and she invited us over to eat some tamales!! They were amazing. She had pork, bean, and chicken tamales. They were super good but eating when you aren’t hungry sucks hahahah we had eaten right before we went to her house. I had like 6 tamales and almost threw up. Super awkward story for you guys. Basically we aren’t invited back over to their house anymore… I said the closing prayer and basically said thanks for the Martinez fam and the food they prepared for us. Soooo basically after the prayer she said sooo I loved your prayer butttt we aren’t the Martinez fam hahahah. Super awkward and I felt awful but she was just joking about not letting us come back. I just got them mixed up with another fam we are teaching. But she’s super awesome so we will see what happens! My spanish is still awful but the people are always so nice about it which is a blessing for sure.
I talked to some people in the ward and one of them lived in my OG mission! He says aguascalientes is a pretty nice area but everywhere else like zacatecas and san luis petosi is super poor. They said the food is amazing so that’s good!! He talked about how people get robbed there all the time which is kinda sketch. He said that basically if they want your shoes you give them your shoes hahaha. The little old lady this week at church called me muy guapo (very handsome) and told me I need to call myself muy guapo. She just loves me. She has a son in the bishopric named kevin and he is hilarious. Everytime he sees me he asks me If I have a joke for him and sunday I asked what is brown and sticky but it doesn’t really translate to spanish correctly so he didn’t laugh just made fun of me like the usual hahahah. I absolutley love the members here. I’ve had some crazy food this week. One of the english elders, Elder Wells invited a bunch of us over to have some Thai curry and some chinese cabbage it was bomb it was the first time I’ve had it.
Bertha is doing super awesome! We didn’t have fam home evening with her at Obispos house because her baby got sick. He had a ear infection which sucks. He’s doing a lot better this week tho! She couldn’t make it to church this week either and she was super sad about it. She is so solid and just an all around awesome person. Her kids are super awesome and nice. Like for being a single mother she is doing an awesome job. Still nothing about her finding a job which is super sad.
This week I’ve been focusing a lot on my spanish. I was studying my patriarchal blessing and I wanted to share something. I was promised that by sharing my beliefs and truths that my testimony will be strengthened and my ability to share will be increased. I have been so surprised how true that is. Before the mission I was super worried about teaching and all that stuff but I’ve noticed that the more I share the easier it is for me to teach! Both in spanish and english. Some of the things I’ve been doing I just think how I was before the mission and how much the mission has already changed me. These last 4 ish months have gone by way too fast. I already feel like I’m going to dread the day I’ll take off the tag. Being a missionary has seriously changed my life and it’s only been about 4 months! Just gotta enjoy it while it lasts cuz its going by too fast!
