Izcalli - Agua de limon, aahh no!

Hnas Heywood and Woodford
All is well here in Mexico... dang Carlos didn't get baptized because he was working non-stop legit! He works 24 hrs and then no and 24 hrs and then no but... dang man, he kept on covering for other peoples shifts jaja and I don't know how he is alive. CARLOS haha he is something else but we just love him and ya this week he is gonna get baptized if its the last thing I do! 

15 familias is coming along we are still searching for more and more! This week it was just a lot of teaching, finding....having stake outs in front of Carlos's house because he wasn't answering his phone and we were worried he was gonna get home from work and then go to sleep and we wouldn't be able to find him jaja but all is well now we are going to see him tonight! 

Funny story of the week... so Isabel y Augustine; we love them so much and well we don't love their house. let me describe it to you.... they would be number 1 candidates for the tv show Hoarders (or how ever you spell it)! Their bedroom isn't awful... that is where we teach them... but the rest of the house... you look into the other rooms and there is just piles and piles of crap and garbage and on the roof trash bags full of who knows what man oh man we need to do a service project for them! But anyways we went and ate with them Tuesday because they signed up to feed us and so we ate sopes a nice traditional mexi food that is really good and harmless... well at least we thought so! The next day hna Woodford threw up 6 times and then once the day after it was terrible poor thing! We are pretty sure that the lemonade (agua de limon) they used the tap water and not filtered water and yeah... who knows but it was not too good! I mean my stomach felt a little bit weird but that is normal here but yeah it was bad so Wednesday we were not able to leave the house all day so we just studied, wrote our talks for Sunday because we both spoke yesterday and we watched the testaments and the josé smith movie and hna Woodford was mad because I only have that one is spánish haha! But it was just a grand time and luckily la familia Peña helped us out with meds and all that jazz! Oh how I love them. The nice thing was I was able to clean the house really well Wednesday... like hardcore deep clean so yay! But we were glad to get out of the house Wednesday morning and work! 

    This week hmm what else happened... really I feel like I just wrote like two days ago I cant believe it has already been a week! We are half way done with this cycle and I am afraid I am gonna leave in three weeks because hna Woodford might train... it would be so good for her and she is totally ready but we don't want to get switched!!! Today we discovered that we both LOVE sytycd and yes i was Hna how have we never known this before this is groundbreaking in our friendship haha we really don't want to get switched because then we can be together for Christmas and you guys can all meet her in skype!  We will see but if she trains I will be happy for her and I know she will keep on killing it here! Time is flying by because life in the mission is so much happier because you are worried about other people and not about yourself! but yes good thing I still have a year ish left! Also all this news about the church is crazy and I don't understand how people can be so stupid. The gospel really is SO SIMPLE! These people just need to take and study PMG ch 3 and then pray about it and yeah they will stop being dumb... but yes satanás he is a powerful one and sometimes he really knows how to confuse people! 
We took Odaylis a cake for her birthday last Monday.
This is in the tienda.

   Other things that happened this week hmmm... well not to much just  alot of finding new people and helping our investigators right now keep all their commitments and gain a testimony! Luz and Odayls are doing good yesterday we went in to their tienda a little bit after we had dropped Odayls off from church and we were talking about how we can get all of them to church and everything and we lent them the Testaments to watch in their tienda as a Sunday activity and then we were like okay we need to pray and we will see you guys Tuesday because we need to go to another cita and she was like no stay with us watch the movie you guys can eat what ever you want in the tienda and I was like no hna we have to help other people too jaja and then she was like okay well can we at least give you some peaches so we were like okay and then she was like oh and a drink.. and then when we had finished oh and eat this pizza and oh have another ... haha we were like LUZ we need to go, other peoples salvation is important too hahah she was like okay hnas its okay but they were trying so hard to make us stay and watch the movie with them.  haha we love them and I think they will be baptized on my birthday... best present ever!!!!!!!! 


One of the many paintings on our walk from home to the Stake Center.
 Sorry I don't have alot of fotos just ones we took on our walk home from the stake center today because we went and played soccer and basket ball with our district and some members in different wards and it was fun and nice to be outside running around... not like we don't do that everyday because we are always late to citas hahah but no it was fun! I am glad all is well at home and Katie's house is all nice and finished, and you guys are enjoying the high life flying to cali for 6 flags and cool things like that! Mom, I am glad you had fun with your gang up in Payson, that cabin sounds way too posh and I am glad you got to see Jackie!  Well I must go but I love you all and gracias for the fotos!
