Hello friends!
I'm back to my Spanish roots,
drinking horchata like every day, eating only spicy food (porque si no pica no
sabe), telling people that I'm from Parangaricutirimicuaro, and todo eso.
My companion's name is Elder Felix.
He was born in Sinaloa but moved to Chihuahua in the Mormon Colonies of Mexico when
he was a kid. It's a blessing to have a native speaker as a companion for
sure. He came out with me but he only went to the MTC in Provo for 2 weeks
so he will go home a transfer after me.

Our area is pretty big since it
covers about half of the Central Stake. The other Elders in our ward
cover the east part by the temple and we cover the more ghetto part on the east
side. It borders my first area, the El Rancho ward. Our ward is
Monte Bello. It starts at 9 AM and the daylight savings time took a toll
on the ward. When sacrament started there was about 20 people there including
the 4 missionaries so…. after the
opening song a flood of people came in. There are a ton of priests so
they always come out with us.
It's official now that Elder
Faldmo's favorite food is Mexican food and also pupusas. I could live on
tacos, pupusas, and horchata the rest of my life. It's like I get La
Jua's but 10x better every night for dinner.
I had my first baptism interview
this week and it was all in Spanish so that was fun. But really, it was
one of the coolest experiences ever... seeing someone tell you in their
interview that they want to use the atonement in their lives and follow Jesus
Christ.
We have an artificial tuft soccer
field right across the street from my apartment and so that is being used well
by the missionaries in our stake. Call me Chicharito!

All smiles for Vivian's baptism on
Saturday!! She was a joy to teach and she couldn't stop smiling after she came out of the water. Such a cool experience. She started with no
background with God at all but she had the desire to know and so the Spirit
taught her! The reason she said she wanted to
know more about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is because her next door neighbors, the Shupes
(bro. shupe baptized her), were always nice to her and one Sunday when she saw
the Shupes going to church she asked them, "Where do you go every
Sunday?" and they said "to church, you wanna come?"

My District is an all Spanish
District so that's pretty neat and out ZL's are both Spanish speaking so we'll
be able to do a lot of things in Spanish.
I helped a family get their remote
control airplane down from a tree. I climbed the tree and shook it ya que
estoy gordito and it dropped. they were very grateful and now we are teaching
them this week. Firemen save cats, Elders save airplanes.
That was a hodge podge of stuff but
everything is great here in Monte Bello! Vamos a encontrar, ensenar, y
bautizar.
Love you all!
Elder Faldmo
