 Now to answer a few questions from Dad:  We drink aguas of all different kinds. YES I have tried Polzol in blanco y caco. I will be honest, I like blanco mejor!!! YUM! It was so weird the first few times I drank it because it was caco and I thought that it was dirt--you literally chew your drink. It was kinda hard to get used to but then when my companion explained that it was not dirt, I actually kinda like it now. There's another one, I don't remember the name.... tascalate I think. But that one really  tastes like dirt to me; but people serve it, so I drink it! Other aguas are really delicioso!!! Como Piña y mango y otros fruitas!!! que rico!!!! 

 

Our bishop has a washing machine and he lets us  come and use it each week. So I haven't had to wash by hand! Seriously, it is such a blessing to just let electricity do all the work!!! And I feel like the clothes get cleaner too..... He is our neighbor and so we are always at his house; for food or meetings or whatever. I LOVE the leaders in our bario, Jardines. They are all so willing to work right along side us. Last night after our meeting with the mission leader, he came with Hna Rodriguez and I to our appointment. It is SOOO nice when we can have a member come with us.  Their added testimonies help so much and bring a different spirit and also provide the friendship needed for the investigators! 

Look, Mom!  It's Clean!

I sure miss the temple, it is our wards turn to clean the Tuxtla temple this week and they signed people up on Sunday. I was jumping out of my seat because I wanted to go, but my work is in other areas for now. How amazing that my momma gets to work in and be in the House of the Lord EVERY single night!!!! 

 

 

 

 

 

Well I have to go. This week has been really good, other than the fact that I went to the Dr friday night... but that's a story for another day. I am fine:  just having problems with the heat--we think. Thank you for everything you do! :)
