This has been super crazy! Everyone speaks Spanish all the time! I can understand the majority when I'm locked in and focused, but it's hard to be laser focused on what people are saying for hours and hours at a time without the luxury of worrying about anything else! I'm going to get the pictures sent now. Actually never mind I don't have my cord....

Elder Rojas is a really good missionary although with conference
and his decision that I needed to get to know the members my first two
days here, we've honestly done next to nothing and I'm not happy about
it. It should go well this week though, I really think he's a good
hardworking missionary, we just haven't been doing what he normally
does. I hope and pray that's the case at least. If it's not, we're going
to be doing something about it real quick, don't you worry. I can be
aggressive in Spanish too, if I really think about it.
I'm in a city called Teziutlan. It's actually kind of funny it's a
cold part of the mission and I'm headed into winter, so it's definitely
going to be an adventure for the next 11 weeks. It's really pretty here
and I like it a lot though. One morning I accidentally locked us out of
the room so I had to climb two stories on my sketchy building in pajamas
and slippers to squeeze through a window. I'll go ahead and send you a
picture of that next week.
I listened to the majority of conference in Spanish but a few of
the talks I went in with the other Guerros and listened in English. I
loved Elder Oaks talk. I'm so sick of loving Christians and Mormons who
don't feel the need to love others despite their beliefs. And I'm
realizing how hypocritical that sounds. I hope you guys are doing well,
and I'll admit that conference made me a wee bit homesick.
My studies have been interesting and good, I just have SO MUCH to
do and learn and start committing to memory, Spanish most definitely
included. I'm hoping six weeks from now
I know when to get off of the van/buses they have and where I'm going
most of the time, but we'll see. I'm with Elder Rojas for 12 [weeks], so I've
got some breathing room.
Love you!
Elder Wadman
