The Land of Coke!!!!!

Whats up my family all is well. I got transferred this past Tuesday and i am now right outside the city of Puebla and i still don't have a clue what the name is called because i'ts really long. Its way different here and i like it better. First off the food is way better. I can't believe it but i have actually had ice cream here for two of our lunch appointments. It's so nice, all i ate in tlachi was soup ant the same tortillas every meal. I had a flour tortilla the other day and it was seriously like the celestial kingdom. I didn't have coke once in tlachi and only tang but here they drink coke 24 hours a day for every day of the week haha needless to say after one week i am all coked out. 

The actual town is way different. This place is all apartment buildings and gated in communities that we can only go in if we have our id and if we say exactly where were going. So that's a little different. Our apartment is good and i like it a lot more once we cleaned it all morning today because when two Latinos live before you lets just say they don't clean. We even found a family of lizards in our apt but now that it's clean it's pretty good and we even have a stove: so I want to try making cookies.  So mom if you could send me an easy recipe for cookies without choc chips because they don't have them here i would appreciate it. i Had my first experience today of washing my clothes in a sink and lets just say i don't think I'm very good at it and really appreciate washers.

I am in a ward here and it was really weird going to church yesterday in a real church with more than 40 people. The people here are different, my comp says the members are kinda hard and cold and lots of time for lunch they just give us money to go eat somewhere so that's kinda strange. But there are some really good members also and hopefully we can get them excited about missionary work. 

My comp is Elder Aviles from Guadalajara Mexico or something like that. This is his last transfer before he leaves and i love him. We just flat out click and we pretty much like all the same things...backstreet boys, batman, Pokemon, socks haha so its fun he reminds me of this like little Mexican gangster haha and is always wearing a dog tag and baggy shorts when we play stuff haha.

The two missionaries the week before i got here had 2 baptisms so right now we are searching for people but have good people also right now. Roman was one of the baptisms the week before i got here and he is 25 and we are also teaching his biiiiggggg family. ITs honestly a huge family,there  is a grandma and six kids and those six kids all have some kids except Roman who is the youngest of the six kids. So it's kinda crazy because it's like going to grandma call's house and just teaching whoever is there and it's different people every time. But we have like 4 people in that family who are good investigators.They are kinda crazy and they think its so funny just to have me try saying big words in Spanish for some reason haha. Roman the recent convert has a problem with smoking and we have permission from president to exercise with him every couple of days because i guess that helps him so that is way sweet and we play soccer and basketball ha.

We found an AWESOME girl named Patricia who is 23 this week. Well actually she found us. I guess she saw a post about the church on Facebook about happiness and she commented on it and someone from Argentina told her how to get in contact with people. So somehow she got in contact with the bishop and then with us and she is sweet. We taught her on Saturday and she is searching for peace and happiness and we taught her the plan of salvation and asked her if she wanted to come to church and she actually came to church  at 8 in the morning so that was way sweet and we think she is golden.

That's about it from the land of wherever im at. All is good and this church is as true as ever. Im finally starting to get out of the shock stage of the mission and starting to enjoy it. I love you guys and have a great week. Keep Patricia in your prayers and the Rodriguez family that they may stop drinking haha. Love ya
