 Hola!! This week went by super fast, I don't know why because I feel like we didn't have any really big things, but here we are!! They shaved one of the dogs that lives in our building! She looks terrible XD! So like I said, this week has gone by so crazy fast, Like I blinked and it was over! I feel like my entire time here in Mexico is going by so very fast, I mean in 2.5 weeks I hit my 8 month mark as being a missionary! And I feel like my time here in Alborada has been going by really fast. It's honestly been one of the hardest things about being a missionary lately, I feel like my biggest enemy is time, and unfortunately I can't exactly slow it down! I've really just been learning how important it is to take advantage of every moment, to take every second that God gives us and make it count! You can't get time back, but you can make sure to use the short time we have on this earth to do some real good! Anyway time flies here on the mission, And I feel like

  ¡Hola hola! Well not much happened this week, we've been working hard to find new people but nothing besides that haha!! Zona Xalapa photo! Zona Xalapa after our Zone Coucil!!! So as I said, we've been continuing our work in trying to find new people and keep up our momentum! And we've been able to see some real fruits from that, we were able to find 8 new people this week to teach! I'll quickly talk about a few of them, the first one is a reference that we received from facebook named Cash! We received a reference with his number about two weeks ago, and he said he really wanted to learn, but we've had a lot of trouble getting an appointment set up in these past couple days, but on Saturday we were finally able to get some time with him! We stopped by at around 6:30 and met him in person and also his mother! They told us that they have heard a lot of people teach them the gospel and they are truly trying to find the truth, and a place where they feel comfortable

  ¡Hola familia y amigos! This week has been pretty great! Nothing too amazing happened but we've been able to get a lot done and help ourselves get set up for a really good couple of weeks!! Elders in the rain This week has been a little weird to be honest. We had to do a lot of computer stuff, and a little less traditional missionary stuff. But with the things that I learned last week about remembering the importance of this work, I haven't taken it too hard! And it's also been a little fun doing "business" stuff, in fact on Tuesday we had a meeting with Elder Day, one half of the senior couple we have in our mission! After our weekly meeting on Monday Elder Day asked us if we would be able to meet with him the next day at 10:00, after a quick schedule check we told him we'd be there! We thought that the reason we were meeting with him was to talk about our English Connect plan, so he could look it over and give us any advice to make it ready to send out! Bu

  ¡Hola a hola! This week went by even faster than last week, but I feel like it's also been the fullest week of the transfer as well! Even though I don't have a lot of time (like always) I'll make sure you're not disappointed! Goblet of Coke So first things first, this week we had a wedding! As you all know, our friend Kris and his wife have been working with us to help them get married, and Tuesday was the day! Early on Tuesday morning Elder Parker and I got ready for the day and headed out to meet up with Kris. We only had to walk a short distance to the place we decided to meet up, called Trancas. From there we battled a little bit to find a taxi that would take us to Coatepec for less than 100 pesos, after trying with a lot of taxistas eventually Kris used this app he had on his phone to order a few taxis for us all to get there! Kinda wish he would've used it earlier, but no matter, we got there and that's what's important haha! Once in Coatepec, we me
