Hola Familia!
     Those are pretty much the only two words that don´t have the red squiggly line underneath them. haha. Anyways I had another great week here in Mexico. Christmas was just another day (besides being on skype of course) Right after I got off the Ipad, we went right to work. On Christmas Eve, we had a zone party at our stake center. We watched two worldly movies. Rise of the Guardians and Hotel Transylvania. Both in Spanish. I understood about 20 percent of them. We had pizza for dinner (heaven) and played games as a zone. We have an amazing zone. On Friday, Elder Woodbury went to the misión offices to have his final interview and go to the temple, so I went to Metepec with Elder Borgel and Elder Gomez. It was a different experience because they both only speak spanish. I did pretty good with them. I was able to understand them and have conversations with them too. It was a normal work day with them, and Elder Woodbury came back that night. Thank you so much for that Christmas present of letters from the family. I opened it up Christmas night and I loved it. As for my memory card on my camera, I have been taking pictures to fill it up and send home with Elder Woodbury. I´ll send home a piece of paper with it explaining all the pictures, like the names of the people or what´s going on. One thing you need to know is that I took some money out of the ATM using my personal card. I took out 1000 pesos just in case of emergencia. I´m going to stash it away somewhere and it will be emergencia money. Or money to buy a soccer jersey. haha they are only 120 pesos. Which reminds me, I need you all to do some homework about the soccer teams in Mexico. Tell me which team is the best, which team has the coolest jerseys, etc. haha. Other than that, I don´t need anything. I´m doing great here and having a blast. I did a lot of traveling this week, so I don´t have any cool stories that happened. Besides our baptism dates fell through. We had 2 scheduled for yesterday and they fell through and they moved away. One weird thing was this. One night, we came home and there was a HUGE party going on outside our door. Just a party in the Street for Christmas. There was so many people there and they had a mariachi and everything. The band was playing so loud. Even at 11 p.m. they were still going. If I wasn´t so tired from the day´s work, I would have had trouble sleeping. Tomorrow for New Years Eve, we are going to our stake center again for another zone party, because it is dangerous to be out on the Street. We are going to watch 2 more movies and just have fun again. And then resume as normal the next day. That´s all I have for this week. I love you all!
