Week 7 - Dec 15, 2014 My trainer is Elder Rodriquez from Guatamala! 1st Area - Rio Braxo

hola, ¿como estan? Its been a pretty crazy week! boy it sure flew right by though. So, starting last week when we left the mtc. We left the mtc about 3:30am when were supposed to leave at 2. we got to the airport at like 5 and then had to wait in a huge line to check on our luggage. Finally we made it through that mess and through security, with only like 20 minutes till our gate closed! This airport is huge and it took us forever to even find our gate. we got to our gate and there was a huge line of people for some reason and we thought we needed to wait in it. Then we heard, "last call for reynosa" so we ran to the front and said "we are heading reynosa" and she said "sorry the gate is closed" that was the worst feeling. I was so tired and i just wanted to get on the plane and sleep. The next flight wasn´t for another 12 hours. So we went and put all of our pillows down and went to sleep on the floor.
When we got to reynosa, President moralez and two APs were there waiting for us. We got all of our luggege and went out to load up the van. When we got outside, there was a soldier with a machine gun just walking back and forth. haha i thought "welp, thats different," We spent the night in the mission home, where met Elder Rawl. He´s an AP. I get to see all the other LP guys on wednesday becasue the whole mission is getting together for a christmas pary! so im excited for that. My trainer is Elder Rodriquez from guatamala! He has 4 months left on his mission. I love the guy, he is such a humble person. I really look up to him. There is a kid in my district, elder Harvey, who was in the same zone as brody in the mtc. He was showing me some pictures that he had of him when they were in the mtc. Anyways, im loving the food! I only eat breakfast and lunch becasue they feed us so much at lunch. Yesterday, at a members home they fed us something really spicy that was making me tear up. and the guy said in english, "dont cry" haha you wouldve had to been there, it was funny. This is a new area to my trainor so we dont know anything about it and dont know who the members are and we dont have any investigators. so we tract alot. We´ve found a couple of people and have set up appointment and the lessons have gone really well. Other then I about fall asleep because I dont really say much. The spanish is comeing slowly but surley. The area we are in is called Rio Bravo. Our house is really dirty because of previous missionaries but me and my comp cleaned it today. count your blessing every morning when you take a hot shower because my showers sure are not hot. NO hot water in this house. its the worst part of the day, taking a shower.
Anyways, dont worry about me. Im having a blast. this place is safe.
