So this week got a little bit colder
here in tijuana. During the day its not really cold at all but in the
morning at 630 it feels pretty cold. Especially in the house because the
house is made of solid concrete or brick and there is no instalation.
We also dont have any gas, that ran out about a few weeks ago and we
have been showering with really cold water. The water actaully feels
like it was refregerated somewhere, thats how cold it feels. This past
week i actually bought myself a sweater. The one i am wearing in the
photo. The year before i went pretty much the whole winter in short
sleeves, so i know i can do it again but i really liked the sweater
haha.
So this week we had our first real big rain fall and
in all the time i have been here on the mision it was my first time
being in a lightning storm, i really enjoyed it. Thursday
was when it rained, it started to rain and hail at 330 when we were
finishing up a lesson with a less active. From that point on we had like
2 appts and a whole bunch of plans but no one was home so we ended up
be out in the rain for the whole storm. Alot of things got soaked, but
thankfully out of all that got wet my camara and scriptures stayed dry.
It was very interesting becasue here there i no drainage system so half
of the streets were made into rivers, and we walked through water that
got up halfway to our knees. I still have a few things hanging out to
dry like my jacket and shoes.
So i am really excited for this xmas season, i have
seen a few decorations put up, but not too much. A few xmas light here
and there. My bishop has probably the must decor that i have seen here.
Nothing outside but inside the house he has a whole bunch of lights,
holly, other stuff, and their tree. His house is pretty close to what i
am used to seeing in the states. Probably more cali style then anything.
Oh and this week me and my comp will be eating at my ward mision
leaders house for thanksgiving.
Well here in terms of work, our investagator that
was progressing the most just moved to Montaray so thats a bummer but i
am almost certain that she will look up the elders there. She told us
that she even knows where the church is there. We had a few people
assist church with us, it was a good surprise because the 3 that came
were 3 that wernt really progressing but now i think they will be able
to progress better and be more accepting to baptism. We will be going to
visit them tomorrow.
Well love you all,
Elder Evasn

xmis but they dont sell them here. Andies mints and maybe chocolate
