But to start off, DOES ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT MEXICO?! I'm more than happy to tell you what I know. And to find out the rest. haha.
This week has been the craziest. I BROKE MISSION RULES! MWAHAHA. You're not allowed to have pets but my companion and I made an exception, I had a pet snail and named him speedy. I just carried him around for a day, then I saw a goose and I fed speedy to him. And that ended that.. haha, and then while feeding the goose we saw that the lady had ducks and other geese too! Sooo, being the missionaries that we are, we bought a HUGE duck. And tied him up in our apartment and are feeding him tons of corn. and we are taking him to the slaughter house (a members house) tomorrow for our meat for the week. He's cool. We named him Daffy. Real original right.
Today we killed rabbits. We killed and skinned three rabbits and we are about to go eat them for a before dinner, dinner in about ten minutes. I learned how to kill them with one firm karate chop. I was pretty proud doing it all by my hands. But we will be eating GOOD TONIGHT!
On the topic of food here, we get 400 pesos a week for food for 2 of us, that's 32 dollars, and we can buy a TON of food. we eat 11 eggs a day as well as an overwhelming amount of veggies. We just get so stuffed every morning while other missionaries buy 3 boxes of cereal for about the same price.. lame. We also bought a whole chicken this week and cleaned, gutted, and chopped it up ourselves. And I guess there was some kind of deal going on because THERE WAS AN EGG INSIDE OF IT! We ate that too. haha They eat like a knock off version of sour cream and onion chips here, but they pour them into a bag with chili sauce, and I tried it. AND ITS DISGUSTING! haha
So the only really other crazy thing to happen this week was it rained more in one day then it did for like 4 months... we were up on the hill when it started and we were running down when we crossed this HUGE river. and then we started walking some more but we got stuck at another river. And when we went to go back from where we came we couldn't cross back! So we were stuck under a tree in POURING RAIN! and everything we had was completely soaked. We were stuck there for about ten minutes before it started HAILING! Which made it that much more fun. So my companion and I started to have an Ice fight and started throwing them at each other. The people inside a house heard us and told us to come in. We went in and sat down. They didn't say much but the grandpa just started talking to us for a LONG time. I couldn't understand the story, but he told us his entire life story. We were there for 2 HOURS waiting! My companion then retold me the story and it was just CRAZY. So I've started writing a book based on all of the events in his life. Its called DON ISAAC. Like old man Isaac being translated. Its awesome. And my companion has been translating it into Spanish! Its pretty cool.
Well things sure are different here! But I'm loving it!
Keep doing what you're doing! Love you all!
