Dia de Reyes Magos

Que onda? Esta Iluminado (It's lit) Shout out to T-$cott aka Elder Murray 🔥

This week/year started out way way way cold. The pipes in our house like froze or something like that so we didn’t have water until Wednesday afternoon when it warmed up a little bit. Being here in Mexico this winter has made me so grateful for my house back home in Utah: because when it’s cold here it’s like ten times colder inside all of the houses.

This week I spoke tons of English... which was both good and bad haha. Over the last two changes all of the other missionaries in my district were Latinos so I never spoke any English. However, this change we got two gringos. Elder Smith (from Bountiful, UT) and Elder Oldham (from Spanish Fork, UT) in our district! It's nice to talk a little bit of English lol but Spanish is definitely way better ha! 

One of our zone leaders Elder Wells was with us on Friday and Saturday. So, Saturday morning I pulled out the book of gainz and we hit a good chest and back workout. It definitely made me miss my gym buddy Elder Brant who's serving a mission in Compton at the moment.

Saturday afternoon Elder Carreon and I were contacting and there was an older lady sweeping up a bunch of garbage in front of her house. So, we helped her clean it all up and then we were talking to her and she said that she made some tamales out of deer meat haha. Anyways, after we talked with her for a bit she gave us a bag of deer tamales lol.

Later Saturday night Hermana Coty invited us over to her mom’s house to celebrate the "Día de Reyes Magos." So, we ate a "Rosca" which is just like a really sweet bread. Anyways, there is like these little plastic angel things in the bread and everyone cuts off the piece of bread they want and if there is a little plastic thingy then they have to buy tamales for everyone on February 2nd lol. I had one on my piece, so I have to buy some tamales ha and Elder Ortega had two, so he has to buy a bunch lol! 

Sunday night after church we were contacting in Coccidental and we ended up close to Hermana Muchoco’s house, so we decided we would stop by for a second. Turns out they were having a carne asada, so they invited us in! It was a great night mainly because we ate lots and lots of protein!

Oh, and if anyone’s wondering, the surgeon is still out here grinding ha! I sewed like four ties this week, and I’m working on a special project at the moment that I should finish up this week! 

Thanks for all the love/ Amor mucho / Elder Ceb
