So something super crazy happened this week that i saw! we were playing soccer during gym time. the goalie was hanging upside down on top of the goal, when he slipped off and landed on his back. Then the whole goal fell on top of him and totally crushed his face. this goal was made of 4 inch metal pipe, so it was not very light. blood was just pouring out of his face. We gave him a blessing right there then he got another one from the president a few minutes later . he went right to the hospital. Our president told us he had a very complex surgery, but he was very lucky because his eyes and brain were not touched at all. so deifinitly a good reminder to follow the rules and not mess around.
It was mexican indepedence day last thursday and it was crazy. Viva Mexico! we are surrounded by houses on the mountain right next to us, and they were blaring music untill probably 4 in the morning. tons of fireworks were going off all night to! we had an awesome ceremony that they probably put on the mtc blog.
Sleeping is isnt too bad. theres no ac so we always keep the windows open but it still gets kind of hot. There isnt really a cool side to the pillow, its kinda just one bot thing. a fw things is we have wold flocks of little parrots that live in the trees here and at night they just swarm around and make tons of noise. super annoying. Theres also always random gunshots, fireworks, and sirens all the time. And we can hear traffic from all the crazy streets outside! Trains that come through town blare their horns for literally 25 to 35 seonds and once there was three of them going at the same time. Yeah, i counted off how long they go. It always wakes me up haha. Super nice weather during the day though.
I dont have a lot of time but it has been a great 10 days so far. Hope yall are doing good!

More to Mom and Dad:
Hello mom and dad! things are crazy here but it is getting better. The first week went by super slow but it is already thursday and time is fliyng! the spanish is hard but im slowly getting better the more we have. Thanks for the sonuts and milk! that was super awesome and if you want to keep sending letters that way so i can hear from you more than once a week that would be awesome. My companion is elder hafoka from tonga! he is trying his best and has a great testimony. The food is here is pretty good most of the time. they dont have chocholate milk but the do always have milk and horchata on most days! all meals are pretty much dinner meals here, theres not really a specific breakfast meal. but its os pretty tasty. the weather here is perfect and could not get better! its like the weather when we were in california. No problems with bugs here. We went to the temple today! it was super awesome. My district is super awesome and we all get along pretty great. the study is pretty crazy, literally the only free time is when im eating. the language is very hard to learn and its kinda discouraging with how much i dont know. Good to hear about the news from home and i hope things go good. the stuff here is pretty cheap and next time we go to the temple im going to get a cool shirt at one of the stores there.
We have 8 latinos and 8 whites in our house, so its cool to practice and talk with them. everyone here is super friendly. the worst part is having to teach lessons cause we barely have enough time to study. we are suppposed to give 20 minutes lessons in spanish and its really hard cause we have to keep progressing the investigator when were still barely know parts of the restoration in spanish. Just not enough time to study for what they want us to do so most of the time i just end up reading off from the pamhflets, preach my gosple, and 2 other books that they gave us and different scriptures. id rather be able to actually learn it inspanish so i can just teach from the heart. I have to teach tonight and ove literally only had 20 minutes of prep this morning for it... oh well.
they keep us very busy so i dont have have a lot of time to think of home but i do miss and love you guys. Hope you are all doing good. sorry for all the bad spelling and such but this computer wont switch to english and i dont have a lot time to fix it.
