Rain and Trump

    

     It rained almost everyday this week and was overcast all week. It was nice except for the first time it rained because we had no umbrellas and got soaked but after that we were always prepared. Also about everyone and their mother talked to us about trump this week and how he won and all that stuff so that was a good conversation starter on the buses.

This week started off slow with Elder Tovar and Elder Burbidge being gone Tuesday and Thursday and part of Wednesday. Elder Carr and I were able to have some good lessons without them though. We even got to teach a lesson in English! There's a guy we met named Constantine from Chicago and we taught him this week. It´s weird teaching in English because all we do is practice in Spanish and sometimes it´s hard to find the words say. We also went on a contacting role and we just talked to everyone and we set up a lot of future visits. 

         Friday was great. We had a baptism. We've been trying to reactivate a less active family and they've been coming lately so we were able to baptize their son! Tovar baptized him and Elder Santacruz and I got to be witnesses.

        Saturday was interesting to say the least. So after a long day of work and lots of walking we finally got home around 9 and were getting ready for bed when all heck broke loose. Elder Carr shot Tovar with the squirt bottle so then Tovar attacked Carr and stole the squirt bottle and started spraying Carr and Burbidge. Then Burbidge proceeded to grab baby powder and start throwing it at Tovar so then Tovar grabbed his own baby powder and started doing the same. Next thing you know there's a nice baby powder mist throughout the whole house and a layer of it over EVERYTHING. Battle is over right? Nope. Far from it. Elder Burbidge grabbed an egg from the fridge and nailed Elder Tovar so then Tovar chased him in to the bathroom (which was being used at the time by Elder Carr) and started throwing more baby powder. Then Tovar went and got two eggs of his own and started pelting them at Burbidge. The house smelt and continues to smell like eggs now. Awesome. And believe it or not but I actually didn't do anything! I was the angel in the whole situation, which i mean, isn't saying much. I just sat there really and laughed. But Ya what a night.  I don't expect to see anything like that again during the mission. 

        Sunday we went to church and Ximena came with us! It was a conference of sorts for all of mexico and we got to listen to Russell M. Nelson, Robert D. Hales, and a few other church leaders and it was really cool.

        Ya that was my week. Everything is going great and I´m loving it here. My spanish is coming along slowly but surely. Thank you everyone for the prayers! I love you all!
