package of treats from my mom!
Well this week has been a little rough. Monday after P-day we went to our district meeting and that was fun. We had english class, and played a game where someone chooses a topic like fruits or colors, then picks one specifically. Then we go in a circle and say something in that topic and if you say the thing they chose, or repeat, they dump water on you. The problem was the cup was filled with a ton of water. I repeated and regretted that very quickly. It was fun.
We had a lot of people we found and set up return appointments. When me and Elder Arroyo went back most of them were gone, or couldn't talk right then. That was pretty rough. We also had a training in the mission offices. It was awesome, and I got to see Elder Miskho from the CCM. The first thing he said to me was about how tan I've gotten. I've got a wonderful collar tan line (picture down below).
Things with Manuel are going really well. I found out a lot more about him this week. He's from Culiacan and he's moving his family. It's sad because he's leaving September 15 to go back and sell his house. I think we're going to be able to baptize him before he leaves, because he only needs to attend church one more time.
Until Next Week...

Bits and pieces from family phone calls:
Best thing I ate this week was chili rellenos...so good! They reminded me of dad's poppers.
My mom sent cinnamon toast crunch cereal...but we don't have milk...so I'm just eating plain and it's awesome!
Addresses here are so crazy. There's random street names and house numbers, but no street signs, so we end up wandering around and asking people where to find specific streets until we find someone who can send us in the right direction.
My tan lines are really coming in strong..haha...even the ring tan line.
Homesickness is getting better this last week.
The language is coming slowly, but I can tell I'm understanding more.

that collar tan line is coming in nice!
