Hey momma, this week was pretty solid. Im still in manzanillo, we didnt feel the earth quake, we are pretty far away from it. Its hard for me to train him because since he already speaks spanish i assume he knows stuff, but sometimes i forget he doesnt know how to be a missionary. But it is good, he is super good, kinda weird. I have a leadership training thing in a couple weeks so i should get my package, that will be rad.  The water was hecka deep, idk if my videos went through. walking in water rushing up to your thighs about takes you off your feet, which makes it hard to proselyte effectively. This week we had a super awesome lesson with a family of 6 and the uncle, 7, that we are teaching. The uncle is 18 and acts like he doesnt care, but he always teaches them how to pray when they say they dont remember, because he has been praying. He also reads the stuff we leave which never happens. Like one of the daughters asked a question and he said "it answers your question in verse 5, youd know that if you read." but we taught them the plan of salvation and everything went well, and after the lesson the mom says "i have something on my mind that i know is going to keep me out of the celestial kingdom, im not married, we just live together" and we were like "well awesome, you know what you got to do", so hopefully they can get married, it was just super awesome that she understands that she is living in sin, she said so herself, and she said she prays every day that God gives her another day to live so she can get married, because she knows if she dies in her sins its bad.She is afraid of commitment, but they have 4 children, which i dont understand but whatever. Because she said shes afraid it wont work out and she knows God doesnt accept Divorce. That was the best part of the week. We also found this cool lady named Nancy that says she doesnt have a religion, but im pretty sure shes TJ because she says we should talk less about christ and more about Jehovah, but whatever. Its also hard to train because i am in charge of keeping us safe, Elder pacheco is from the hoods of Peru, and is muscly so i was never worried with him, but my new companion is  white skinned and scrawny, i feel like we look more robbable so i have to be more careful about where we go now, which is a pain that theres places we went with elder pacheco that i feel like a shouldnt take my new companion, but whatever...Thats about all i got, thanks for the email. Also, in the next package if you could send me a backpack that would be nice, because i lost mine, and backpacks here are not good quality at all. Thanks. I love you.
