TAMALES!!!!!!!!

To all of the people that I love so much,

So it rains here... A lot. it starts at around 2 and then it doesn't stop until we´re sleeping like babies because we´re so exhausted. I´m just damp like all of the time though. So that´s a party. I´m getting pretty fit... I just walk around preachin the word like a guera (white girl) and barely eat anything. But I´m never hungry. The only thing I've really grown to love here is the fruit. and the cheese, the cheese is divine. hijole...(wow) They also make fresh juice which I absolutely adore. I can´t wait until I can learn how to make it. I´m in love with all of the plants, flowers, and trees here. it makes this place look beautiful when there´s a beautiful plant in the front of a rusty house...I met a Mexican Mr. Blower the other day.... that really wigged me out...

The people love it when I sing... So I´m getting better at just singing on the spot now. They even want me to do it in English so that´s nice since I still am not very good with spanish. But I´ll get there... Especially if all of you spanish speaking RMs help me out like you said you would! You know who you are.... yes. I´m talking to you. 

There´s this old guy here named Franklin that wrote our names on a felt frame of a mirror... so he wouldn't forget. My name is Hermana Ildoma.... (language or speech?) hahaha I love him. We also have a menos activo (less active) named Abundio that looks like the ¨dead¨ guy on Nacho Libre. I've seen some of the spots from Nacho here. I can´t wait till I get to go to the ruins which should be soon. 

So We have an investigator family that is having a hard time right now. they can´t find a job. and they need a job to get money so that they can get married so that they can finally get baptized. they are so faithful. They've been such a strength to me Their names are Natalia and Aristeo, and their boys names are Marcos and Julio. I love little Marcos. He´s 9 and just thinks that I´m the best. He´s just cute. He´ll give me hugs and draw me pictures and he always tries to help me with my Español. He´s a cutie.

This is still the hardest work, But I´m going to do this. I´m going to study my guts out and do the best I can for these people so that when it comes to be my time to be judged before God I won´t be ashamed. And I´ll have brought souls with me. In order for that to happen though I need my Savior. And that is because I will never be perfect. But I can strive to become more like Christ more and more each day, hour, minute, and second. Stay focused on the goal of Eternity: not tomorrow, not 10 years or 25. Eternity. And grin and bare it until you get there. you can do it with the lord on your side. Love others, serve them, and make it a priority to bring as many souls as you can with you to the truth. <-- that´s my goal.

I love you all, I´m out of time. But just know that I miss you.
