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
