Xalapa

Hmm....what to say about this week....well, I'm not sure exatly where I should start so we will see how it all pans out! SO as you already know, I have been enjoying my first week here in Xalapa.  It's pretty sweet here. Sometimes I forget I'm in Mexico to tell the truth.  But one of my favorite parts is the hot water heater in our apartment! Ohh man you don't even know! 


There is a lot of work to be done here. My area is called Americas. We have 2 wards: Americas and Ensueño. They are both really neat wards, and the members are all such neat people! Our apartment is just a one room flat that is forever high in the sky. The staircase is the next best thing to rock climbing here, but my luggage made it up, so no worries there! It's neat though because we have a neat little view of a small portion of the city.  It's so BIG here. Man, I forgot what a big city feels like. I gotta get some pictures so you guys can see. It's a really pretty city.  It gets pretty cold because of the humidity, and possibly because I was in the hottest part of the mission before here.  But I'm planning on buying a sweater or two and maybe a sleeping bag! Ha, but the teaching pool is pretty dry, so hurray for   basically whitewashing the week of Christmas, actually it's not that bad.  My comp is Elder Moreno. He is from Mission Tampico--and yes, I got another DL for my comp. Who knows what's up with that. But he is chill. He is different from any comp I have had before, he is from a small town in el Estado de Mexico. He came here when they did all the changing of the boundaries here.  He goes home this April, so he's starting do his final big push in the mission. But we have a lot of potential success here, a lot of it just depends on us and what we do. So cross your fingers for something good to come out of all this. 


This week I'm really just trying to figure out how to be a good missionary but at the same time enjoy my mission. It's harder than it sounds, ha, but I guess it will just come in time. I certainly am open to any inspiration or advice! But I guess we can talk more on the phone this Friday, man thats gonna be sweet! Welp hope all of ya enjoy your navidad, cuz I know I'm going to, because we have Costco, Samsclub, and Walmart here! So things should be good! I finally get to drink real milk again! All of the milk here is milk that is rotten proof and it worked wonders for the intestines, so hurray for real milk again, and thank you Costco! But yeah, those or the words I have acerca de this week so hope you all enjoy, and I can't even wait until Friday! Peace and take luck!
