Wow ok i finally got this thing to work this is dope. Ok week 1 fill in, not writing a letter, just writing a journal so its gucci. Things I forgot, the people here love fireworks, the first thing I heard when I got out of the car’ BOOM BOOM. There was a big festival here for one of the saints and people went wild. There´s bugs all over too which, me being the prissy American guerro that I am, really BUGged at first lol. But the aranas and I have come to an understanding. You stay away from my bed, chair, books, and bag, and I won´t spray OFF on you with the wrath of a catholic bus preacher. The spiders are freaking huge tho. Also, we aren´t allowed to say certain numbers here, such as twelve plus one, or nineteen minus one Î spelled it out bc I can´t risk this falling in the hands of the wrong person* There is graffiti everywhere and some sketchy peeps around. But we coolin tho in that aspect. As long as we exersize caution it is never a problem. Drunk people are my fav, I haven´t met a lot yet but one grabbed my head and smacked me, then called me Obama and went staggering down the street. Yeet. I feel so much better rn, the prayers and stuff worked miracles. My biggest fear is stepping in dog crap. It happened at Hmna Elsie´s daughters party and like halfway thru, Noe was like ¨who stepped in crap_¨and we all look at Ortega, then I´m like nah I´m always cautious. Look down it was all over my pants and shoe haha. Also, I don´t exactly comprehend everything yet, we were at a place and listening to someone and they were just going off, and smiling so I started smiling too bc at a point if you ain´t with it you can´t just jump in or take a pause. Anyways turns out she was talking about how her husband was torn into pieces by a bus, the gangs robbed his body, and she got fired. Once I figured that out I started crying. There´s been a few moments like that, where I don´t really know what´s going on, but I know enough and get emotional.

Week two was more of the same, I can understand casi todo now, can´t speak for crap tho. Not sick anymore, I actually am doing very well in that department. Which reminds me the address of the hospital was, as their card says, Ä lado de Pizza Hut¨The addresses here get funky haha. I´ve had to eat some wack stuff, wack combos. Chicken foot soup, spaghetti w sauce and w beans and avocado, green crunchy omelets with a pile of tomatoes and popcorn. Most our investigators are dead which is hard and our one date fell thru so we´re back to square one in a sense, but we got 20 nuevos this week so we´ll see. There´s a fam here, our neighbors, who treat us like their own kids. They are amazing, and help us so much. I think I talked about them last time or already idk. But recently we´ve seen them reading the LdM and we´ve had some amazing talks about doctrine. They are our golden meta, we are going slow haha. Also the fam who feeds us lunch, menos activos, treat me like a son. They are way chivo and we are all learning Portuguese together. They have 2 kids’ 7 and 10 and we play American games, piedra papel tieras, and soccer everyday. We are working hard on them. We have gotten caught in some insane rainstorms tho, the streets just flood and its always fun.
JesuCristo Vive!

Hey mom,
soup of chicken feet is grooss. I miss ur food so bad. Problem is white people don´t really have culture so when people here talk food- which is all they do- I can´t be like yeah well I like MacnCheese. But its cool, just know I miss ur food. We don´t cook here either. We have a microwave for popcorn or ramen if we can find it. I usually eat ice cream or a pan dulce and chips for breakfast haaha.
torres family is our neighbors, not members but soon. or not soon. but eventually.
Time has gone by very fast haha, I mean 2 years is still so long and I really kinda wanna be 6 months in, speaking Spanish and knowing the area but its ok. con tiempo. I have really been working on patience.
