5 mezes whooo!‏

Wow 5 months, the time is flying by! Hoy vamos a ver cambios, mi compañero problamente va a cambiar. I hope that my new compañero is cool! wow i cant believe that skylee is on the verge of crawling, and becket is riding a bike without training wheels and rachael is about to graduate so much stuff is going on. ok so i have to admit that i completely forgot to write down the stuff that i was going to tell you guys this week. this week is semana santa for the catholic church and there are always crazy mexican fireworks going off that sound almost like gunshots. we have tons of cool new people that we are teaching. we taught this one family about the word of wisdom and that week they stopped drinking coffee and started praying as a family. they are really poor cause they are really young, like 23, and they just had their first baby and they just moved so they have absolutely nothing in their house. one night after a church activity there was a bunch of leftover food so we took it all to them. they were pretty excited. it was cool. We also helped a lady paint her house, so she fed us breakfast. We were eating pozole and my compañero was squirting some salsa on his food from a little bag when the bag exploded all over him. there was kind of a awkward pause and then i pretty much was laughing for the rest of the day. you gotta laugh at the small stuff! So yeah we do a ton of walking we walk EVERYWHERE. i think we probably walk about 5-10 miles a day. dont worry though my feet are fine. the first few weeks tenia ampollas un BUEN. we occasionally take buses which is fun because i think all of the buss drivers are also aspirering nascar drivers either that or they just dont really know how to drive and so everyone kinda gets out of their way. Most of the time when we take busses we are standing too, because they are always packed. we also rented a washing mashine these past two days...oh my gosh i will actually have clean cloths. i dont really think that rubbing my cloths on a bumpy tablet gets them clean. the other day we were studying and we left the front door open to let the air in and a chihuahua wondered in too....freaking mexico jajaja(this is how mexicans write haha) :) this week we also went to manzanillo centro to teach to some patients at a drug and violence rehabilitation center. that was really cool. they are all really humble and they have a lot of faith. they were all really excepting of what we had to say, except for one who called us all anti-christs...he was probably still on drugs jaja. well those are my stories for this week. if you want to send me something you can send some more of that mtn dew flavored chapstick that stuff is pretty bomb, or rootbeer flavored. water flavorings are good. mints, gum, sweet ties, PICS, idk other lightweight stuff. well thats it for this week kiddies...love you all and i am praying for you too! Portense bien!
Love,
Elder May
