Peanut butter for my birthday! Haha mata quilla de kakawates is hard to find here in Mexico plus its super expensive.
This week has been good but I have stayed past my 30 day that are allotted and have to go to the migration office tomorrow to get everything figured out. Oh well. Oh my debit card is fine you don’t need to check on it. My companion was trying to help me use it but it I guess he doesn’t know how to use an ATM very well. I want to know how much it cost to use an ‘ATM I used one and don’t want to use another just in case it’s like 10 bucks every time or something. Have Justin fix the blog he knows the password and all that. Ah well Craig Spencer, and Kyle will be entering the MTC soon so I’m going to write them a little ditty.
Here are my tip´s take them or leave them. (Most of these are for Spencer because we are in the same country.)
1. Garments-Mesh and the nylon type are the best cotton holds a stench like nobody’s business and is extremely difficult to hand wash because they stretch out and what not.
2. If you can and you have room bring exercise equipment. it’s really nice to have something to wake up and do instead of pushups on the floor. But remember those iron gyms aren’t going to work because the doors in Mexico aren’t built the same and just by looking I can tell they won’t work because they don’t have molding and all the walls are concrete.
3. Eat slow- because you probably won’t know how to eat some things because Mexicans just slap a whole bunck of stuff on your plate and you have to mix it all in a taco or what not. Anyway just eat slower than your comp and watch what he does.
4. In the MTC focus on grammar and pronunciation. Mexicans don’t know any grammar so they can’t explain it to you. Just like we don’t really know that much English grammar we just say the words in a way because it sounds right. I don’t plus who knows the difference between there, their and thare anyways I don’t think that last one is a word but whatever. I just always hope spell check is on.
5. People love pictures of your fam and what not but don’t bring pictures of things you have like you house or cars because your comps and everyone will think your rich and what not and even if you’re not rich by American standards you are in Mexican standards.
6. There is a book 1001 pitfalls in the Spanish language they sell it in the mtc. BUY IT! Because it’s awesome and it will be the only thing that can explain grammar after you leave the mtc. I study it every day.
7. Don’t show your comps your debit cards until you trust them I have heard a bunch of terrible stories about comps stealing from Americans "because all Americans are rich" that’s total bowl but everybody says that.
ok that’s about it
This week has been good where getting ready to baptize a bunch of people! in the next 3 weeks we have about 12 lined up for baptism but who knows if they will all make it. It will bea milagro if they all get baptized.
Anyway I don’t think I have missed anything on the mission but after reading your letters about skiing!! Fetch I miss snowboarding! but don’t worry it can wait. Sounds like a killer time. Too bad there is no snow in Mexico and the white bible says in plain words no snowboarding. For Christmas and New Years everybody gets drunk really drunk and lights off a bunch of fireworks. What a great way to celebrate the birth of Christ....drunk! oh well the work is hard during that time so I’m just glad it’s over so we can start working full time again.
