Everything is also really cheap here too. I try not to think about the conversion rate and just go by pesos. When something is $20 pesos I usually think that its expensive, but then I realize it is only a little more than a dollar in US currency. I got a pair of fake ray-bans for a little more than $3 US dollars, so now the streets of Morelos will see how good I look in sunglasses.
This week we had a really cool experience with an investigator. We were knocking doors and we knocked the door of a man name Roberto Martinez and he said he was busy, so we kept knocking doors on that street. About three minutes later he came outside and called us back to his house. He said that when he sat down after opening the door and rejecting us he heard a voice say "Escuche" or "Listen." So, he called us back and we shared the first lesson with him and the Light the World video and he accepted it all. We invited him to baptism and he didn't say yes, because he wants to learn more first.
This week we had intercambios, so I went to a different area that was even colder than mine, so now in the mornings I don't complain as much.

This week we also performed our play we have been working on. I don't know if i've said anything about this, but we've been practicing a play for members and investigators since I got here and this week we finally performed it. I had the part of Jehovah and luckily it was only one set of lines.
I also gave my first full priesthood blessing that wasn't an anointing with oil. It was about as good as it gets with a little under two months of Spanish training. There was another member there with us and she started crying so I'm going to think it was because she felt the spirit and not because I was talking complete gibberish.
I also had my first encounter with a drunk guy this week who was trying to follow us home, but luckily we walk so fast its impossible to keep up with us even if you're not inebriated.
P.S. I also heard some really good classic music throughout this week, so God really does bless us.
Adios
