WOW IM 20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CANT BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Sounds so wierd in english, I tell people "cumplo 20 años hoy" or "tengo 20 años" but its hitting me in english. I tell myself over and over and over that im 20, and it just sounds soooo wierd! WHERE DID MY TEENS GO?!?!?!?!??! Oh come on, I have to be an adult??? LAME!
But yesterday did not feel at ALL like my birthday, not to mention that my birthday came on a fast sunday....
BUT, I had the best meal from a member yet yesterday. Spaghetti with chicken cordon bleu with BACON!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!! "YAY BACON!!!!" Jim Gaffigan (Oh this week I completely told my companion JIm Gaffigans Mexican food joke....IN SPANISH) IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!! BACON!!!! Although of course there were tortillas at the table. I literally have not eaten a meal at a members house without tortillas offered.
Oh but so much has happened here in Mexico. I baptized another convert on tuesday, Im gonna baptize another this tuesday, and we are on track to meeting our mission goal of a baptism a week for the month of august. SO, thats great news, because apparently the area of me and my companion is one of the few areas in Cancun thats baptizing right now.
So story that I didnt have time to share last week. The Sunday before last the bishop comes up to my companion while we are greeting people and asks him to give a talk, and my comp tells him "mi hijo puede hacerlo" literally meaning "my son can do it", so yes, my comp bummed off his assignment of giving a talk onto me, and I gave a 10 minute talk in spanish with very little preparation. It was....interesting...Although the members told me that they could understand me, Im not sure.....oh and I had to teach the gospel principles class yesterday as well....
Ive seen several crazy animals here. The week before last I saw my first live wild tarantula while we were teaching a lesson. The cockroaches are HUGE!!!!! Ive seen 3 iguanas today alone. Ive been stung several times by fire ants. Oh, and Ive gotten tons of mosquito bites as well.
Im POSITIVE Ive lost weight since Ive been here. I guess thats what walking all day in the steaming hot of Mexico does to you.
Last week was a really good week as regards to my spanish. Im able to understand much more and many members have told me that I dont sound like someone whos been out for less than a month.
SO, Thanks for all of the birthday wishes!!! As always, I love you all!!!!!
Love,
