Week 5 Industrial

Another great week here in the grand city of Gomez Palacio! I´ve decided that living in Mexico is like living 15 to 20 years in the past. At least ha. All the cars and buses are from the 70´s or 80´s for the most part. Old American rock is what everyone loves here, Everyone wears crocs.. Ive always wondered how crocs havent gone bankrupt. Now i know... Mexico is just a funny place ha. Especially here i think. Its so close to America that everyone wears clothes with places from America. Name a College or a National Park, and im betting ive seen someone wearing something from there... Also this place is just full of cowboys. Good old Mexican Cowboys. Also this makes the language quite hard, because they all speak with a southern accent. Its very hard to understand them ha... They just add these weird endings to all their words. Its awful ha, but also funny. This last week was really good! met lots of new people who are very accepting to the Gospel. Theres this one little lady named Juanita that must be 80 years old that we started teaching this week. Half way through our lesson we just heard these screams of rage coming from this little room in the corner of her house. She then went on to explain that her son has been locked in that  room for 15 years because i guess when they let him out he just attacks people and tries to kill people. She said he cant talk and that hes got serious problems. ( Obviously ). so yeah, she just puts a tray of food under the door 3 times a day. So that was a little scary. I felt like i was in a horror story. So that was fun. Had a very spiritual experience this week. Me and Elder Fuentes were heading to an appointment with a family in one of the less safe areas of town. While walking i got a very strong impression to stop walking and turn around. which is what i did ha. Even tho Elder Fuentes was not happy with me. The next day when we talked to the family they started telling us about these guys in the street last night doing drugs and beating eachother up in the street... I know that the lord is keeping me safe and im very grateful to have the holy ghost with me always. Its truly an amazing blessing im my life. I see miracles in my life everyweek like this one. My testimony has grown more then you can even imagine in just 2 months. Especiallly of the Prophet jose smith. I have a picture of him in Liberty Jail on my desk, and every time i look at it, it gives me the confidence i need for the day. He had such a hard life and so many trial and afflictions. Mine are small compared to his.. good week this week! bautismo next week i think! lots going on. I love you all and miss you all. youre all in my prayers!!! keep making good choices!!! till next week!
