Elder Ross Warburton:Mexico Puebla North Mission: The Worlds Smallest Volcano

The weeks go by faster with p day on Saturday.

Nothing too noteworthy happened this week. For starters it's basically rained every day in the afternoon. Its pretty funny how the Lords timetable works. We go out and work at different times every day, but it always seems that right as we go out to work it starts to downpour. So, i have been getting soaked almost everyday because an umbrella doesn't work when its raining sideways. On Monday we went into the center of Puebla because i talked to a doctor and she said i had to take some medicine for the ankle that i twisted a couple months back. The center is really cool this time of year and i took a couple of pictures. The "Noche Mexicana" is coming up so everything is decorated. i don't really know what the noche mexicana is because i thought every night in mexico was a mexican night.

On Tuesday we visited the american couple that is living here for the summer and they bought domino's pizza for us. We also found a super good food place that sells burritos (which are really hard to find here in mexico). I don't really know what those two sentences have in common, but they are about food and the food here is really great.

We have also seen some more progress with Teresa and Claudia, the mother and daughter we are teaching. We taught Claudia how she needs to get married and it might delay her baptism and Teresa was super funny and said "Well it doesn't matter what happens i'm still getting baptized the 22nd." They both really want to be baptized so we are really hoping and praying that we can help them through this challenge. Then on Friday we went back and only Teresa was home and we talked with her and Claudia's 9 year old son for a little bit. We found out that Teresa doesn't want her daughter to get married to the guy shes been with. We should hopefully be meeting her husband Sunday night and should see if he really wants to change or just keep living in sin. Hopefully we can get them both married and baptized, but it all depends on if the people are willing to act and change.

Last night we had a ward activity with carne asada. We brought some less active members that we are reactivating and we got to eat some good carne asada.

Today we went to the smallest volcano in the world and it was a let down to say the least. It just turned out being a really funny experience and a good look into the Mexican culture. We went to get wings for Elder Vocis last pday (he leaves on Tuesday) and we got in total 155 wings and they were better than any wings you could get in the states.

Oh and i also sent a group email out to all the stake presidents of the missionaries in our mission because our mission president wants to do a whatsapp group with them. Apparently a lot of them were replying to all instead of just me so one stake president got really mad and chewed me out over email. Who knew that i could start a group message fight between stake presidents in my mission.

This week i'm going to mexico city on Tuesday to drop off all of the missionaries that are leaving so hopefully i can get some cool pictures. Also all the new missionaries are coming in on Monday, so it will be a crazy week.

Hasta la proxima
