What's up everybody and welcome back to another episode of House Hunters: Mexico Edition. So just sit back, relax, and enjoy this whack adventure with me. Ok so a little background basically half the time its impossible to find houses here. None of them are marked and its so hard to find addresses. And the Mexican directions are built different. Well half time we have to just ask everyone in the towns who this person is because everyone knows everyone. Sometimes we get answers like "Oh he is dead" or "Ahh yes he lives about 5 streets down with the Black dog" or sometimes people just tell us their life stories so thats fun. The other day we were in one of our small towns and we get a call from one of people interested in getting taught and when we asked him where he lived, he told us "You'll find me and my friends under The Tree Thats Older Than 500 Years" And then we were like what the heck what in the World is going on.

What's up everyone!! I hope everyone had an amazing week and Happy March!!! Its crazy how it is already March! Time has really flown by. This week was another good week filled with work. So, I'm just gonna recap whats been going on out here in Good ol' Atlixco. Elder Baez da:  Ok so living with 4 Elders is absolutely awesome. Especially because 2 of us are from the States and the other 2 are from Mexico and so the mix of culture and behavior is ummmmm... different. But Elder Baez is probably my favorite Mexican ever. So, Elder DeBry and I have been teaching him some American things and it had been so awesome. First, he tried his FIRST peanut butter and jelly sandwich of his life and now he is hooked!! We even bought extra ingredients for him to satisfy his cravings. Also, you know how you have a box of salad and you put the dressing on and shake it up? He has mastered that skill. And finally, Elder Baez has been introduced to Fry Sauce and he will never go back to his old w...
