Sorry, I love you guys a ton and I really need to write to you guys more I was looking in our rule book and I am trying not to include anything to specific like names of people and all that jazz but I will try to let you guys know alot. Also it is really hard some times but in the book it says not to say anything bad about your area or the people you serve in so I have just tried to avoid it all together.
So Tijuana is really nuts. Its really busy, in another language, and their is a ton of dogs. Our sector is pretty big and we just found out that it is even bigger. The pictures I sent last time of the Privadas is only the tiniest part of our sector. We have a more rich area around Matamoros and then we also have a really poor area with house on the side of giant hill going into a valley that holds RB (Rivera del Bosque). We encounter a lot of different people with a lot of different problems.
We are recently dealing with some people that are trying to get over addictions and I am learning alot about how to really help them. Also contacting is really hard here. The majority of people have the idea of All is well as long as you have a faith in God and have a religious belief your good. The most popular phrase we usually here is that it all goes to the same place. Its a bit hard not to be too mean and say there wrong. Instead, we use scriptures. YEAH!!! So we also just had a huge meeting with our small little branch leaders and everyone else like that. They are really kicking the mission into gear with more than just Missionaries doing the work and I am loving it.
My Spanish is getting pretty good as I have been studying and walking and just trying to fill my brain with all the concepts. I also have made some goals for myself that you might find interesting
- I really want to learn the Guitar when I get back
- I want to learn Sign Language as well as other languages
- I am currently working on trying to be able to do the splits
¡LES AMO MUCHO!
