September 13, 2018


 We found a house, were just waiting on an answer. Transfers are this coming week, were gonna be here in guadalajara now. The work will be harder which im not a fan of, people in the city are not as cool. It is nice here, like 75 every day probably, maybe 60 in the morning, and it rains every day in the afternoon and the night. Living conditions are fine.   this week i learned how to be a mexican bull fighter. So we were out in the forest with the group (like the branch, but its just a family group with 2 families) and the 2 14 year old boys were up ahead, then me and my comp, and everyone else was a ways back, and they stopped because their was a cow and they were scared, so i said "its just a stinkin cow, just yell at it and itll go away" so i ran towards it making a bunch of noise and yelling like a maniac to scare it away, but when i get through the trees it just squares up to me and im about 3 feet away looking at this thing when i realize its not a cow and its got some big ol balls and some horns, and my companion says "hey...thats not a cow." so im just standing there squared up to a bull with a camp chair in one hand and our picnic lunch in a shoulder bag, with two 2 liter cokes in the other hand. So this bull accepted the challenge and wanted to show me he was the king of the jungle, so he hooks his horns to the left, hooks his horns to the right, pawed the ground, gave a little snort and takes off straight at me, i knew i couldnt outrun it straight on, plus if i run down this tiny path the bull is gonna take out all 3 of our primary children, so i take off and am hoppin through the thorn bushes running for my life, tryna hop behind trees so this thing doesnt kill me. It was a pretty quick chase, because i think the bull got scared of me, but i understand how 8 seconds is so long for bull riders now.
