MANZANILLO--Jan 24, 2011

hola familia
YEAH SO I AM AT A PUBLIC COMPUTOR LIBRARY RIGHT NOW AND THIS IS PROBABLY THE GAYEST COMPUTADORA EVER!! THE KEYS ALL STICK AND I CAN´T GET THE CAPS LOCK TO TURN OFF SO EXCUSE ME IF IT SEEMS LIKE I AM SCREAMING AT YOU. MY NEW COMPANION IS FROM PERU AND HE SPEAKS NO ENGLISH...LUCKILY PERUVIANS DON´T SPEAK AS FAST AS MEXICANOS SO I CAN UNDERSTAND HIM MOST OF THE TIME AND THERE IS ALSO ONE OTHER GRINGO IN THE HOUSE WITH ME. ahhh there we go i got it. so the mission pres is kinda strict. no soccer, p days end at 3 or 5 depending on what month it is, and everyone has to have a part in their hair. ashley thank you for the trimmers because my hair came off real quick after i learned that. i think i did a pretty good job. it is long enough but too short to part...yessss. yeah so mexico is crazy awesome. the drivers here are crazy and take the lines on the roads more as suggestions. people and dogs roam the streets including the highways. i saw a semi tipped over on the side of the high way and all of the fruit was spilled on the road. i got a picture of it but i don´t have my camera with me cause i didn´t know that we would becoming here. the place where we live is really nice and we actually have a balcony and a hammock. no washing machine and only one burner on a little portable stove to cook with. peanut butter is ridiculously expensive here!! you know the people that rome around bakersfield selling random stuff and honking there horns and whatever to get peoples attention..this is definitely where they come from. there are constantly people driving around playing their little jingle over their loudspeaker or honking their horn or just straight up yelling to get your attention that they are coming near your house. they sell jugs of water, gass, bread, and other random stuff. it is also crazy seeing the police drive buy cause they are pretty much the army, they all carry around rifles and drive around in a normal truck with officers standing
in the bed. don´t worry though, because everything is completely chill where i am. i have felt completely safe the whole time that i have been here. mom we have this investigator named judith who has cancer and i want to get her something small to help her out but i don´t know what have any suggestions? alright well i have to go cause i only have a couple minutes left (back to 30 min computer time) and i stilll have to write my letter to the president. i love you all and i pray for you. the church is true!
your missionary,
elder may
