Tyler's movin' on up...

hey

so i got my new comp this week. his name is elder morales. he is from chiapas. he is kind of weird and controlling. i guess ill have to learn to love him for who he is cuz i cant change him. so his first day here he asked me if i wanted to try some food from chiapas, i said sure. and he pulled out this jar full of little black things. little black ants. so i ate one. it sucked. i knew i would eat weierd things in mexi town but i never expected ants. he also carrys his wodden jap sword all over his mish. its kind of scary he could bash me in the head with it if he gets mad at me. he said that if he was mad he would punch me. but he says that he dosnt get mad ever. i hope not for my lifes sake. so we moved houses this week and we have a kitchen so that is cool. we also have hot water. this week was the first week that i have taken a hot shower since i got to mexitown.

so i had chicken foot soup again. the soup part wasnt bad. tortillas are the gringos lifesaver. if i have to eat anything nasty or down right terrible. i just slap that succer in a nice fresh tortilla and chow down. i think God made tortillas popular in mexico to save missionaries from the gross food.

no baptisms this week and the work has been allot harder without bentancourt. im going to have to really streach this transfer and work really hard. thanks for the love and support.

so this week was pretty good but couldhave been better. we had one baptism when we had 3 people with dates. one guy has to quit smoking and drinking coffee. hopefully they can have allot of faith and be ready for next sunday. we will see. we are also working on getting a lady in our ward married so her husband can get baptized. we had service on sat. we went to help reforest and plant 5,500 trees. it was up in the dinamos (waterfalls) and we hiked like 3 miles up this mountian and on the way down it rained the whole time. but it was good. there were a lot of people there. we have been visiting allot of recent converts lately because my comp thinks it is really important but we dont really have any new investigators that are progressing and i think we need to focus on finding more people. but mi dont really know much about the mission and how it works and my comp only has 6 months left i dont even have 5 months in the mish.

so we had one baptism this week. his name is abraham he is really cool. we played soccer with hinm and some other members this morning. it was really fun. i am sending the pics to my mom andshe should put them on my blog soon. we are going to have noche de hogar (family home evening) tonight with some members. it should be chill. hope all is going well in the sd. sounds like it. go pads and keep the faith
