September 6, 2017 Late email because of transfers

Theres a thing here to buy stuff, its called the mercado libre, free market, i think its pretty sketchy but you could try it out, im not too worried about my shoes, but my shoelaces broke on one pair of shoes like 2 months ago and i havent been able to find shoelaces, which is stinking ridiculous, so i just havent worn rhose shoes. if you send me light brown shoelaces that would be deluxe. if you could also send me my yellow jumprope i used when boxing, a little black casio watch because my watch is breaking, and like some nyquil that would be cool too. im thinking of all the stuff i should need since i never got a birthday package :p also, on the contents sheet when you send the package, just put missionary supplies and they dont ask too many questions. If you send it through fedex you dont have to put jesus pictures on it either. This week it rained a lot. like up to my thighs, i think it was hurricane lidia, thats what ive heard, but obviously we dont have the news, all i know is it was really windy and rained a bunch. It was insane. Me and elder pacheco cooked some fish and it was so good, and we made yellow rice with peas and carrots and corn. that was the most exciting thing that happened, we also had a district activity and an elder that was a graffiti artist in argentina made us a giant sign with chalk and we made an 8 foot tall book of mormon and contacted people, it was cool. When elder pacheco left i stayed with some other elders and we didnt accomplish much, i havent been in my area to work since forever. wednesday the water was up to my thighs so we had to go in our houses for safety, thursday we had planning all morning, friday we spent the entire day at the activity, and saturday until today i havent been in my area because i had to go to guadalajara and a bunch of junk happened. so i dont have tons to tell you, we found a really big scorpion and i took pictures of it. I've been pretty sick this week, hermana clayton noticed when we were in our training for trainers so she bought me medicine and some centrum vitamins, and a maruchan and some orange juice, shes the best. idk if the vitamins are any good but theyre better than nothing, they arent gel. Ask cary what ginseng does. I love you

Holy smokes thats a lot of questions. remember momma, you raised me right, i can take care of myself. also you can probably send my shoes together, but send it FedEx, if you send them FedEx it comes fedex the whole way, mexican fedex gets here was fast and reliable, like 2 weeks, but the mail system of mexico is a garbage, so if you send it through the normal mail it probably wont get here. my shirts are good, washing them by hand gets them wayyy cleaner than a machine ever can. You are finally sending me underwear? i just sent money with the secretaries to buy me some, but send it anyways because it wears out fast. i dont need socks, i havent had time to get vitamins yet, and rama means branch. Im still in manzanillo, transfers arent til next week. elder pacheco is just fun, and familiar. with other companions i was slow to get to know them and like proper and kinda shy ish and stuff, but elder pacheco is super chill and gets to know you quick and is easy to be comfortable around. he taught me bunches of stuff, mostly spanish. Tender mercy this week was our lesson with this family, of 7 we are teaching, they used to be testigos but not anymore because those dudes are crazy. Umm last week the satelite crashed with the moon because of the eclipse and the entire state lost wifi. We did service making a fence for a widow out in the middle of nowhere, today we are going to go make some stairs for her so she can get up the hill to her house. carrying cement up a hill should be fun. Today we went and climbed on these rocks out on the ocean, which im not sure is completely allowed, but it wasnt beach so whatever, we went with some members. nothing much really happened this week. my shoelaces broke like a month ago but i havent been able to find new ones so i just havent worn those shoes in a while. I cleaned our yard, we always sleep up all the leaves that fall but i pulled some weeds and trimmed the trees with my machete, i think i already told you we have a hammock, but its cool. thats pretty much all i got...we had a FHE this week, there is an hermana less actice that we have been teaching since i got here. Her family is sealed in the temple but her dad sold drugs and they were trying to kill him so he had to hide in the house all day, but while he was hiding he was cheating on his wife, so he left and lives in some other state now, and her sister is 14 and pregnant and her mom is kinda crazy, but she FINALLY is going to church, and mutual, and teaching classes, and inviting memebers to her house to get to know her family because she wants her whole family to go back to church, but her whole family just kind of tears her down like "why do you go to church if you come home and arent living a perfectly christian life" which is way stupid and frustrating because they are all inactive and dumb and they tear her down for trying to be good, but whatever. BUT she is finally going to church which is way super awesome. I love you
