My companions name is elder chora he is from mexico city,we live in a two story house with the zone leaders who are pretty awesome our house is pretty nice too!! Well at least for tuxtla haha but I love it, we sleep just on matresses on the floor but your so tired at the end of the day you dont care you just thankful you have anything.. Haha the foo d here is amazing I love it so much I have eaten some weird things but they all go to the same place haha they only eat one big meal a day heer but we try and eat three though we eat with the members everyday and they cook so good then usually the zone leaders make something and they are good cooks, I drink lots of coke dont worry that is all people drink down heer is pop haha its funny and yes only bottled water I dont wanna get sick that would be no good haha, I wash my clothes in this little wash machine thing or do it by hand then hand them out to dry on our little balcony thing its so awesome. The spainsh is coming really good all the natives keep saying that I can understand really good and I learn really fast some thought that I had more time in the mission cause I can understand most of what they say if not all, but still I got lots of work to do with it haha, oh and with emailing we have to email the president and our family first then after the president sadi we can write anybody else but we have like only 45 to 50 minutes wher we can be on, so other people can email me if they want I wont guarantee ill write back right away... Haha but hey im sure they will understand

This week was so awesome though my compoanion and I worked our tails off and it paid off to the assistants said you see how well your work during the week waqs when sunday comes around and if your investigators are at church, haha thi sunday we had 7 minvestigators at church 4 less active members come and 6 recent converts come so our week paid off well and we have one baptism on the way an 11 year old girl named ezmeralda she is so sweet she has such a big heart and a huge smile always, but all we are waiting for is the okay from her parents and everything is a go!! Im excited we were thinking of challengintwo other investigators this week to be baptized but we found out they had been drinking adn so they kinda changed things a bit... We even had to take the alcohol from one family with us and get rid of it they all want to change but its just hard and it really is satan is really working on them, also this week we had the opportunity to attend a baptism of an 8 year old in our ward it was one of the first that I can really remember since my own even and I got to be a witness at it it was so amazing watching this littlew bot and I could feel so strong in my hjeart and I could literally see myself in that tank with my own son or daughter there holding them and afyter baptizing them just smiling at them and holding them in my arms, I cant wait till that day it was so amazing to see and feel that. Also our ward is so awesome here the members and all the people in general are so aweosme so willing to give. Occasionally you run into the people who are just plan mean we ran into like 5 in one day but I just smiled at them and we just bore testimony and left
