ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh HEEEEERRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MI FAMILIA!!!!! what the crap is going on there back in YASMILLE YUMA? hahah guess what? the other day i saw a car with utah licence plates haha it was the best thing ever. i wanted to take a picture but it was raining harder than ive ever seen in my whole entire life. we were using umbrellas and i was still dripping wet there wasnt any part of me dry and all the streets turn into rivers haha we were up to our shins in water and it really does get cold! after it stopped raining we could see our breath! crazy huh? my comp got sick again after that day and now he drinks tea all the time haha mmmmmmmm what happened this week.....oh yeah hahahhahah ok last tuesday we went to ruths house to help her pull some weeds in her front yard, so we helped her do that, then shes like ´um..could you guys help me patch some holes on my roof?´ so we were like sure but all the houses here are made of concrete and all the roofs are flat with drains for the water to drain, so we went and bought concrete and i was the one that had to carry the bag of concrete up the ladder of her 3 story house hahah it was horrifying especially when i got to the top and had to take the bag of concrete off my shoulder and throw it on the roof haha so i got up there and mixed up the concrete and patched up the cracks, then she climbed up and was like ´that looks good, but maybe we should just cover the whole roof with it´ haha so i ended up putting concrete across her whole roof haha but it turned out good. so then we come back down from the roof and theres this huge pile of weeds on the side of her house, and she asked if we would help her burn them. so i started trying to light them on fire, but they were way wet cuz its been raining, so it wouldnt really light on fire, then shes like ´would it work if we bought gasoline?´ hahah i was like ´umm...i think so´ hahha so we went and bought gas and filled it up in an old juice container, and we came back to the house hahahahhahaha ohhhh this was sooo bad k so we come back to the house and we go to the pile of weeds, and i take the lid off the can of gas, and start pouring it on the pile but i guess there were still some sparks on the bottom from when i tried to light it earlier cuz the fire jumped from the weeds and started the container and my hand on fire hahahhaha it scared me way bad so i dropped the container, but when i did that all this gas splashed on the side of her house and the whole side of her HOUSE started on fire hahahhahahahahahhahahaha ahhhhhh hahahahh so her house is on fire and so is this FULL container of gas right on the side of her house, so i ran around back and filled up this bucket with water, but when i threw it on the fire it just splashed more gas and made it worse hahahhahhahhahhaha but luckily her house was made of concrete so it didnt burn down hahahhahahahhhahaha ohhhhhhh my heck if we werent in mexico that could have been suuuch a disaster hhahahhaha oh yeah! i didnt have to buy groceries last week cuz i got that package, so i bought this sweeeeet suit from this lady we´re teaching for 200 pesos or like 18 dollars hahaha how sweet is that? its seriously such a sweet suit its grey pinstriped. the ladys dad used to be a lawyer but he...died...so shes selling all his clothes haha but it looks new! it reminds me of the office when dwight is like ´this tux is my grandfathers. he was BURIED in it´ hahhaha the jacket fits way good but the pants are 36 and i need like a 32 but i think theirs a lady in our ward that does that for free. soooo that was cool. whhhhaat else. oh yeah. remember saraid the lady we baptized last week? she asked if id be her godfather? haha i have no idea what that is but i said yes :/ i dont really have any responsibility..right? we baptized yesterday too. we baptized a lady named miriam and her daughter lorena. this guy named hermano galicia baptized miriam cuz shes his sister, and i baptized lorena. all that went good, but we went to the church a couple hours early to start fillling up the font and there was the biggest spider ive ever seen dead in the font. it was soo huge with these nasty legs it was so sick. mmmm what else. oh yeah this week at the church we had an activity called trip to hawaii, where we invited everyone and told them we were going on a trip to hawaii and it was free. well our ward mission leader planned it all so we thought it would be cool,. but we get there and everyone goes into the sacrament room and all the seats are set up like a plane so we thought it was gonna be cool, and on the wall hes projecting this movie of the inside of a plane like going through all the pre flight safety stuff so if really did feel real, then the plane takes off and then we´re flying for a sec and its all peaceful, then the movie cuts to a clip of one of the planes hitting one of the twin towers on 911! what the crap? so the activity was that after that everyone that ´died´ in the plane crash had to go to the different rooms in the church to learn about heaven and stuff haha it was...weird hahaha me and my comp just kept looking at each other like ´what the crap....´ hahah especially the 911 part it was weird but after that we played volleyball in the rain and they sold all this food and had karaoke so that was fun but only a couple of investigators came to the airplane part and the rest were members so that was good hahhahha oh yeah! i sent a package home last monday! it was pretty expensive to send haha i hope it got home. the guy told me it was gonna be 1700 pesos and i was like ´wow. ok yeah i guess so´ and hes like ´are you sure?´ hahah like trying to talk me out of it cuz it was so expensive so i hope it got there! anyways thanks for all you guys do for me i hope that you have a way fun week! you guys only have a month of summer left MUA HA HAHA. but. have fun with it. gage i cant believe your old enough to go to efy that is soooooooooooooooo weird to me. do you have braces yet?
