Well this week was pretty great!! To be honest I feel like
it just flew by hahah. We had a lot of fun and crazy things go down in
Monterrey this week so where should I start?
Well first I'll start with the most important thing in
Mexico...FÚTBOL, So this week was the final in Mexican Futbol, and the two
equipos were from Monterrey!! It was the Tigres vs the Rayados. The Tigres
ended up winning it all and let's just say the streets were crazy. We actually
had to be in our casa antes de 7 on jueves y domingo because of how dangerous
the streets are during games, especially when the game is against same city
rivals. There were a bunch of crazy drunk people in the streets and we could
here the gunshots ringing out too jajaj. Our vecino is a tigre so let's just
say we didn't get any sleep that night jajaja.
We also had intercambios twice this week, with Elder De la
Cruz y Elder Fontana. I went to the area of De la Cruz and he is one of the
funniest dudes ever. He is from the Dominican Republic so he was not used to
the frió that we had. (oh yeah it was like -2 the other day) De la Cruz ended
up wearing 2 pairs of pants, 3 pairs of socks, 2 sweaters, and a huge winter
jacket. And good thing he did because it snowed here!! The second intercambio
was with Fontana and I got to stay and lead the area. That was an experience
haha. I had to do just about everything, start every conversation, talk on the
teléfono, and it actually went pretty well. We had a Noche de Hogar with the
famila Garcia and took some pics and ate some tacos. We ended the intercambios
by finally cutting the forest we have outside haha.
So the last thing that I have was that I had to give a 10
minute talk in church yesterday. I had a solid hour to prepare this talk too.
Oh yeah, and it was in spanish. SO I wrote it all down but when I got up there
I just started talking with the Spanish that I knew and it ended up being
pretty good. I talked about how we need endure to the end. How we can't just
wait till the end we must strive will all of our strength and effort, doing all
we can to reach our goal.
Sorry for the short email, we didn't have much time today. We went to another area to make ties as a district for our Cena de Navidad!
