Elder Kendall Mitchell Marrott: Mexican Country

Everyone,

Hey!! I had a pretty good week this week. Its been raining a ton every night which is a lot nicer than dying of hotness every night. But we might need to look for a tank of gas again because the water is pretty dang cold. I shower at night and in the morning, my body at night because the water isn’t as cold and only my hair in the morning to get rid of the bedhead and shave.

Tomorrow we are going to go to Cuernavaca! I’m stoked. I’ll get to see my old companion Elder Carter and a few other people. I think it also MIGHT be the last time I see president too... Getting a new president will be so weird. I have no idea what is going to change. Possibly everything.

I was thinking how soooo different it is to be a missionary here in this part of Mexico compared to the US or like Europe or something. Culture is such an interesting thing.. I love it here in Mexico. It’s grown on me. Next Sunday will be Election Day for cities and counties. There have been like cars and Trucks going around blasting popular songs that have been changed to talk about a candidate. It’s funny. The elections should be interesting. We might have to stay in all day. I know in Guerrero they can go to church and to the food but then they have to go back to their houses. If things happen here we will have to do the same.

This week we could have a baptism!! Her name is Enedina and she was a miracle that we found. I’m not sure if I told the story a few weeks ago.. I don’t think so. Anyways we went to the food at this return missionaries house and she is like pretty old and lives alone but is super cool. Anyways we went with her to eat and then afterwards I went to go wash my dishes. I first washed all ours then I though why not all her dishes! So by the end of it I had washed like a big tubful. Anyways we were there for a while but when we left and were walking back this guy on the street was like hey glad you came, my wife is inside waiting for you! We had no idea who he was so we asked more and he said she was in there reading the book of Mormon. Well we went in and met her! She has a daughter in Texas that’s a member and she visited her for like 3 months and went to church the whole time. She even has like 3 apps from the church on her tablet and has seen all the book of mormon animations. Anyways she’s like super cool and hopefully we can baptize her this week. We are going to see her today after pday.

So I’m loving it here. I’m learning a lot more and having fun. Have a good week everyone!!!

Love

Elder Marrott
