This week went by pretty well. The weeks are flying by out here, it is insane. I really do not remember much of it but I know that it was good.
We were able to go to the temple today and it was litty as always. We went with a recent convert family in the ward who were receiving their endowments. So get this, we planned it all out to be there for the 11 o'clock session. We show up on time because you know we are missionaries, but I tend to forget everyone else here runs off of Mexican standard time. So they showed up late and were unable to make the 11 o'clock session so we couldn't go through with them, but oh well. Mexico right? I was able to go through for one of President Naumanns ancestors so that was cool.
We probably dropped 8 investigators this week so that is hard, but for real it is cool because now we don't have to lose a bunch of time with people who don't want to progress.
Can I just say something about the heat? We are baking out here, my face is toasted, and I mean toasted. I would like to buy sunscreen but it is so dang expensive. It's hard out here for a Elder of the Lord. "milk was a bad choice..." In this internet cafe/casino I am blazing up in here right now fam. There is no such thing as air conditioning here so inside houses and businesses you just get absolutely tanked with heat during the day. But hey we got new mattresses so Uncle Kade is going to sleep like a baby.
Sorry I don't have much time, but to answer your question right quick, yes I feel super comfortable now with the language. Obviously I'm not fluent but my accent is pretty good. I tell people I'm from Guadalajara all the time and they buy it. "works every time!" I just got to work on the vocabulary. You don't really realize how many words a language has until you have to learn it. And no I don't have Facebook so I cannot see the pictures, but send them porfa.
Love you, have a good week, stay humble.
