Elder Ross Warburton:Mexico Puebla North Mission: One Last Time

It rained a lot this week. I think it rains a lot every week, but i just notice it more when i don't have my rain boots on and my feet get all wet.

Funny thing happened when we went to eat with some members. We knocked the house number 11 just like we were supposed to, but somebody answered it and immediately slammed it in our face saying no. So, we thought we weren't going to eat, but luckily there were two houses numbered 11 right next to each other, so we knocked the other and we proceeded to eat.

My comp got medicine for his stomach. I'm starting to think i might need to look into that.

There are some members here that live part of the time in Monterrey and the other part here in Puebla. We ate with them and they gave us some amazing carne asada with flour tortilla quesadillas and some type of beans that i've never had before. All super good. I think the highlights this week are mostly food related.

We did some intercambios this week and i worked with elder Nacimento in his area. we visited a lady that has been inactive ever since the bishop asked her to talk and we taught her about the sacrament. She said she would come to church (they always say that), we gave her a blessing for her health and left. Then to our surprise she actually came on Sunday and stayed the whole time, so that was a good miracle. We also didn't have water the whole time we were in intercambios. We had to awkwardly ask their neighbor to lend us a couple of buckets

A five year old on a bus saw me and said "Es me amigo!" and started talking to me. Her mom told her to stop talking to me, but she just kept on talking and talking. Then when we got off she said adios like 10 times. If only the adults were as receptive as the kids.

Elder Tarrega (my trainer) finally left this week. We had various going a-way parties between us and the members. We bought pizza, tacos, and took lots of pictures. We also got our transfer news (6 more weeks left) and i'm staying in my area as district leader and will be finishing the training of a missionary who has 1 transfer in the mission.

Adios
