Monterrey Mac: Diciembre...I think.... (Semana 14)

Wow it is already Diciembre...it doesn't feel like it at all though.

Two Reasons. 1. It's still pretty warm here in Monterrey. 2. It feels like I just left for Mexico like last week! Time is really flying and it sure is really fun out here!

This week was a pretty cool and exciting time. First, let me tell you about Evan, the joven that we are teaching thats from Texas. He is such an awesome person and his testimony is growing everyday. When we first met him he didn't believe in God and was living a pretty rough life. But now his faith is growing so so much and he loves to go to church with us and tell others about Jesucristo tambien. De hecho this week when we went to visit him he told his friend that he was with to join us and during the lesson Evan started teaching his friend, almost better than Elder Diaz y yo. When we invited Evan to be baptized and said a date in Enero he asked us if he could be baptized sooner. He is such an amazing joven and he is making so many friends in the church now too!

Ok so some super awesome and straight up crazy things from this week!

Well the first thing is that I ate chapulin this week. For those that don't know what that is they are crickets. So yeah I ate crickets this week. They actually weren't that bad.

Second, I had some amazing carne asada with an amazing family and they had the futbol game on and the Tigres won! So now the finals here in Mexico are the Rayados vs Tigres. Both teams are from Monterrey. Its gonna be crazy here!

The last thing that happened was actually pretty scary. So here in Mexico there are wild dogs on the street like everywhere. Some are really chill and follow us around and stuff like that. The others are not so friendly and act like lobos. So we were walking at night down this street in an abandoned colonia de our area. Its almost pitch black with only the light from our cell phone. So we are walking and then all of the sudden we feel something strange and turn around and see two wild crazy dogs coming at us. We took our bags off and started swinging them at them trying to keep them away. They tried to take bites out of our mochilas but luckily nothing happened. They ended up running away and we walked very very quickly back to our house. We were literally shaking, haha.

Ok so before I sign off I would invite all of you watch this video and think of ways to Ilumina El Mundo this Christmas Season. Look for ways to serve those around you in any way possible. The best way to celebrate this year is to not focus on what you receive but to focus on the giving!!
