Happy Birthday Mom!

Everyone,

Hey!! So Christmas was really good! Christmas eve we only got to stay out until 9 which is kind of lame because i guess last year they were out until 10 30. First we went to one of the recent converts houses for his birthday (Christmas eve. unlucky birthday.. haha) and ate some turkey and good food. Then we went to this investigators house to have some more food! We had this stuff called pozole and its this really fatty soup with giant corn and chicken. Its super filling and when they asked me if i wanted postre (dessert) or more pozole i gave her my dish and said postre por favor but they gave me another helping of pozole and i felt like i was gonna explode haha. THEN we went and ate with this cool family and sang and everything with them We ate so much that day... I loved it.

Then Christmas was good! We had breakfast/lunch with our ward mission leader and his family and it was sooo good. They made turkey but it was stuffed and super good. Then this like apple salad thing and a pasta too. It was super good. Then we went to The member named Sergios house and I got to talk to the family!!! Super cool. I loved it. To be honest Christmas in the mission isn't the greatest and you get homesick a bit but its soo nice being able talk to your family.

After that we went back to that same families house and ate with them and took some pictures. Ever since then its been pretty chill this week. Like everyone is still on vacations and so either they are there or wont be there for another 2 weeks.

We met some really cool people to teach though and yesterday at church we had 5 people which is really good! The whole district had a lot of people. They also started sending more people to Guerrero so that should be interesting. So far I haven't heard that things are calming down really but i haven't heard anything worse either.. Either way I'm excited for this week! I have to learn the area good because my comp is going home after this week and I'll be left here to the area! I love you all and hope you have a great new years!!

Love,
Elder Marrott

Robbed, and looking forward to Christmas

I’m excited to see you for Christmas! I should have a lot of time. The only thing that I might not have is that much privacy. I’m going to be at this members house and I think he will have a lot of family over. I’ll introduce you guys and translate for you if you want! 

I still haven’t got any packages... the last one I got was the one from Katie for my birthday. Idk whats up. I think I have a chance to get something tomorrow though. I hope so...

Oh also I got robbed today.. haha. We went and played soccer at this court with this member from another ward and there was like 30 people there who were his friends and all recovering drug addicts and I left my bag on their side and I got robbed 600 pesos.. So like 40 bucks. I took it out of my account but I have no idea how much money is there.

This week was really good. We had a lot of people in the church and its really cool to be working and busy instead of just looking to see if people are home or whatnot. This week will be crazy with vacations and everything but I’ll let you know how it is on Wednesday or Thursday! Well I gotta go. Not much time this week but I’ll see you soon!!

love you!
