Moctezuma

Dear Familia y amigos,

   Sorry about last week this is what happened... after our zone activity we went with some of the Elders to Sams club because one of them had a card. Anyways it only took us like 10 minutes to get there and our taxi driver was super cool he bought us suckers on the way there... but then because its rainy season and pours like every night it took us an hour and a half...HOUR AND A HALF to get home. It was terrible we were all squished in the taxi and stuck in traffic for an hour and a half and we got back late and had a baptismal interview of one of our investigators and we were late and it was a mess. So after his interview we wrote you real quick just to let you know we are alive we just couldn't write because we ran our of time thanks to the rain. But this week was SO GOOD! 

   First of all Nacho and Alma got ....MARRIED! We taught them my very first day in the field about eternal families and now #holla sealed the deal after living together for 14 years. It was a great day we got to leave the mish for the wedding because the cheap judge that is only 600 pesos; works in the south east mission so we got to leave the mish and of course we got permission; don't worry mother. It was fun and they were so happy and we were so happy and it was just a good day. Now he just needs to stop smoking,  We and the zone leaders made a goal with him and he should be done with smoking and be baptized in two weeks so please pray for that man. Nacho is a cool guy he is super chill and speaks English because he used to live in San Fran. But hna. rhoten y yo told nacho we would quit eating chocolate until he stops smoking just to show we would sacrifice something too... we think its an okay idea...but he tells us we need to quit chocolate for life because he is quitting cigs for life. lol not gonna happen!

Making Wedding Cakes

   Also this week was the baptism of Gerrardo, he is 22 and really quiet but he was golden. His cousins are members and we would come with them every once in a while and would go to ysa stuff. One day he was at church with them so we went to talk to him and we started the lessons and now BAM he is baptized. We only taught him for 4 weeks because he already had so many assistences he really only needed the lessons and a strong testimony to be dunked. But yeah that was last night and it was really good! His cousin baptized him who is waiting for his mission call and we told him this counts as his 1st baptism and he needed to put it in his Preach my Gospel! 

The other week we contacted this guy outside his house and that seemed cool and we went back and taught him and we found out that he and all his roommates are pilots...so cool! They are all rich too, It's weird that they all have nice cars and their house has an upstairs because that doesn't really exist here. He is cool and actually the first time we talked to him he was saying how he went to the PCC and the visitor center in Hawaii and we were telling him how our Mexico open house is soon.  He should be pretty good contact, we have a cita with him tonight so we will see. 

  I hope you all had a good 4th of July Hna. Rhoten and I got into the spirit here and painted our nails and had our red, white and blue outfits. We taught clases de ingles con los elderes that speak english so that was about as american as we got but it was good! Oh something funny I learned this week is Mexcans curl their eye lashes with a spoon....jaja.  Before Nacho y Alma's wedding her sister was getting ready and putting on her make up and she pulled out a spoon from her make up bag like a big tin spoon you would use for camping and started to curl her eye lashes.  I was just in awe and she was telling me how she has been using the same spoon for 13 years so proud..haha I guess next time I go camping if I ever need to curl my eye lash I will just whip out a nice big spoon. 

Teaching English Classes

Today has been a different p day hna. Rhoten is sick with...we don't know what so we are using the members computers we live with (family Galicia) with permission of course. I went to Walmart with Bishop's daughter while hna. Rhoten stayed home with hna. Galicia with permission of course. Also this week we had division and I stayed in the Moctezuma and hna. rhoten went with the sister training leader for the day. It was good and weird because I was in charge and had to direct the lessons but it actually went better than I thought and I gained a bit more confidence about my Spanish for it. We have interviews with president this week so we should find out more about the open house because right now we don't really know anything other than they are pulling missionary's for all the cuidad misiones to help so that way we can still work in our areas but that is all we really know right now. I have lots of pictures for you this week. Most are from the wedding and we don't have the pictures for the baptism because we forgot our cameras but one of the elders had his so he will send them to me and I will send them to you guys next week. 

Love you all
