oh my gosh. this week has been insane lol. i love your pictures. sorry for my gross typing. this keyboard is weird lol. alright heres whats going on in a nutshell. the driving here is crazy. i stayed right in tuxtla for my first area and live at the real de bosque. apparently i need a cord for my camera for the computers here. ugh. so ill try and figure that out and if not ill get you pictures next week. real de bosque is just house upon house upon house upon house all staked on this stinking mountain. i walk up and down hills all day long. im so happy and miserable at the same time its a little ridiculous lol. so our apartment was soooo gross. if i meet the elders that had it before us i might kill them. oh my gosh. i opened the microwave to a molding plate of who knows what. they left us 6 bags of trash and i saw my first cocraoches last night in the room i have all my clothes in. i screamed like a baby. so gross. there were like 3. ugh. so needless to say i didn{t sleep at all last night because i was so paranoid. we didnt have water until wednesday becasue we didnt know we had to pay for water in these huge tanks on top of the houses. so i was looking really special. theres a walmart here and a sams club so ill have everything ill need im pretty sure. ok so i wish i could send pictures ill try again soon but i literally have 60 mosquito bites. ive been gong through the bug spray like crazy and a member gave us some cream that helps them not itch. so their getting better and i ahvent gotten a ton more. so painful though lol. and oh my gosh hace calor. it is sooooo hot. so hot. im brown. well red brown already. ive been trying to carry an umbrella to keep the sun off but i have so much stuff it gets heavy. that and im literally pooping water. i dont think ill poop solid for a year and a half. not going to lie i had to change my g bottoms the other day. ew. so gross. bad bad bad. anyways. at least my stomache isnt bugging me. just struggling. we ride in these things called cambios everywhere and pay 7 pescos. just insane. and oh this is hilarious. my compainon loves singing but is so tone deaf i can hardly stand it. i want to die laughing everytime we sing. at first i though she just didnt know the tunes. but at church on sunday the lady in front of us was plugging an ear to hear herself and get the tune lol. it was so bad i started laughing so hard. oh and i caught a lizard thing in the house too the other day. they are everywhere. one more funny thing one of my investigators calls me hermana baer and thinks it is just the funniest thing in the whole world lol. anyways, i think thats in on the weird random stuff.. heres how the church stuff has gone


first, i dont know if ive ever told you to read the prayer section in the bible dictionary but do it! its soo good. go to the part that starts with, as soon as we learn the true realtionship.. its so good and it makes me think differently about how i pray. i really like my trainer. shes from tampico mexico. but i kind of feel like a salcker this week. contacting is hard when i dont know the language so ill report next week and hopefully ill be braver. we had one investigator come to church and hes really great. the best thing about him so far is that the first time we taught him my comp said, hes not interested. and i didnt feel the same way. in the second lesson he broke down crying and said we wants to believe in god but he doesnt know how. it was really cool. we watched the finding faith in christ video with him. it made me realize again that im not the judge and i dont know who is ready and who isnt to recieve the gospel. and if i dont contact and ask! the answer is always no. thats my modo this week. i also gave the baptism invite this week and the lady accepted so that was really cool too. i feel like we walk a ton and teach really little but my comp doesnt know this area so were learning where everything is and its taking a little bit of time. overall though im learning something everyday and except for those stinking roaches ive slept really good. i think thats all for today. ill send another if i think of anything. i love you tons! i cant even believe ive been here a week already. its flying by even though its hard. Love you, have an awesome week and thank you for the pictures!  Talk to you again soon. Love you,
