Hey everyone!! Ok this week was absolutely insane as always and there is just so much to say and talk about so let's get into it. Last monday, we went to Africam Safari which is like a sick drive through Jurassic Park thing with a whole bunch of African animals and it was so hype! I'll drop some pics down below. Then we got back to the house and we lost all power to the house for 2 days which sucked because we didn't have power to charge our phone so it died. So we didn't have anyones contact information or a way to make appointments or any way to call or text anyone.  There was also like a HUGE thunderstorm and the thunder was shaking our house and stuff and the lightning was the only light we had. It was intense. So then we eneded up running to the KFC to charge our phone and it was a total disaster. The phone was wet and wouldn't charge. On tuesday we still didn't have our power and when we went to district counsel GUESS WHAT WE DISCOVERED?!?! The bed bugs ar...

Hey everyone!! It was another INSANE week out here in Puebla. I kinda feel like I say that everytime, but somehow every week the mission continues to surprise me. This week we were trolled, almost poisoned, and were fed spiritually and of course physically with some amazing Mexican food. But, let's get into it. So basically, the mission collected all the phones in the mission last monday to pass them out to all the missionaries on Wednesday. Because every missionary got there own phones in the mission! Buuuut that meant half of Monday and all of Tuesday we grinded out our missionary work without phones, WHICH SUCKED. Let me makes myself clear: I have a newfound respect for all past missionaries who served without a cell phone. It is impressive and you have my respect forever. Anyways, on Wednesday we just straight up got trolled by the mission and we didn't get our phone, because they sent it like 3 hours down south in Izucar so thats just fun. So we also didn't receive it ...

Hey everyone!! Another glorious week came and went out here in good ol Puebla. I hope you are all doing well and that you have enjoyed your summer vacation so far. Well, as always, a ton of stuff happened this week so let's just get into it. But some big news happened: I'M STAYING IN REFUGIO WITH MY SON! So that was just absolutely HYPE when we heard that that was going to happen. So yes not much changed around here, pretty much all of our district stayed the same which is awesome because we are going to get to WORK this transfer. Anyways, so we've been having a lot of bug bites recently and we previously thought it was just all the mosquitoes at night out in the streets. But then our District Leader commented one time that we might have Bed Bugs. And I was like "What the heck those things actually exist?!?!?" Well, it turns out that they do exist, and the phrase "Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite!!" is a real phrase, and they have infested our beds!! So w...
