Letter # 4

Hola here from Mexico!

I'm am doing swell. The Spanish is coming pretty good but I have a hilarious story...

In one day three separate times with three different people I was told I can't understand what your saying. It was either I cant understand you americans or It's hard to understand you or what did you say? It was so funny and kind of disheartening but all good.

Elder Juergens and I are so obedient, get up before six thirty, study at eight, study at nine, leave at ten and return before nine thirty, and get to bed before ten thirty and we shine our shoes. It's so fun. We had two baptisms drop this week but hopefully we will have four more this Sunday, and even more after that.

We are always so busy either tracting or teaching lessions or doing what ever. We have had a lot of cool people but a lot of people drop because of the virgin. we finally had to drop the girl that was going to get baptized. They believe inthe virgin more than anything, more than God. They pray to her, worship her and all. We told them, listen... Mexico is the only place in the world were they worship the virgin, Catholics In united states don't worship her, no one in europe worships her. she is mentioned three times in the bible and Jesus is on almost every page. It's difficult.

We ride our bikes everywhere it so much riding everyday. They have amazing tacos here! Tacos de pastor are the best hands down. We also had home made tortas... they were amazing, one of the best things i have ever tasted. We killed 4 mice this week and we did more cleaning. Especially the kitchen.

I started to read Jesus the Christ! It's super hard to understand, and really deep. but it has a lot of interesting things to say.

If anyone ever wants to write me send it to the MTC and write the departure date not mail box number. the church sends a package to the mission home. Dear Elders still work that way to. You can still write them but it just takes a little longer to get here. Everyone can write me but I can only send one email home every week. Packages you have to send it to my mission home and it and wrap it in the virgin!

I love you all so much!!!!!

Elder Clark
