Hello from Mexico

Well let me give just a little recap of some of the stuff that this week had to offer. last tuesday we had Cricket tacos, with flaming slabs of boogers, you might hear some people call it chicharron with salsa verde (it was as bad as it sounds). we taught a guy while he was taking a shower, piled into a bus that was 10X over its suggested capacity, and 3X over its actually physically possible (just an every day occurance for these people) we would stop at every bus stop and see like 10 people waiting for the bus, and every time i would think in my head your not all going to fit. but to my amazment every time they would just keep packing it in. these people are crazy over hear, every one is bundled up for the ice age. I doubt its as cold in Utah as people think it is here. and there i am this skinny white pole walking around everywhere with my short sleave on sweating. we are trying to endure the bitter cold of 70 degrees. when and if you stop recieving these lists of things that happen, then you´ll know that i´ve overcome the culture shock. thes people are crazy but i love em!

Dang, i love you all so much, and am trying to cope with the idea that i won´t be having thanksgiving this week. so i though since i´m not going to have the chance to say what i´m gratful for i´ll do so now...

Im most gratefull for the wonderful, hard, long, uneasy trials that we all have to go through. i´m grateful for this chance i have to learn and to grow, and evern though some times i get off track i always have the ability to find the straight and narrow again. im gratful for the knowlege that my family has the true knowlege of the the gospel of jesus christ, and to know that even though that we have to endure, in the end will are all going to have the greastest blessing of all, eternal life with my family. I´m grateful for all of you and the support you give me, and for all the love you have. Í love you all so much
