Hey I don't have a ton of time but what a crazy week!!! This week was mexico Independencia Dia so there have been parties everywhere! It has been a crazy day! P days are the best. First of all let me explain a few things.
I am in the Casasona area of Cuaultla, Mexico! I am in the hottest part of the mission and it is kind of a beast. I always sweat. My companion name is Elder Najera and he is from Puebla, Mexico. I really like him a lot and we have a lot in common. Its really fun here and different.
Mexico is a really weird place. My place looks really scary and there are a lot of different things to adjust to but I really like the life here. Go to my website and look at the pictures. I have pictures of me and my companion and with some of my district. We had a ward party and that was fun.
The food is amazing. They give you sooo much food here!!! I have never eaten so much food! Also all of the Mexican resturants are liars in america. Food is very good but nothing like i thought it would be. I have pasta and soups and chicken and beef. Its nothing like Mexican resturants I have had before.
Spanish is going really good and I am learning a ton!!! I think I will get the hang of it really fast honestly.
Alright - I have to go, but I love you all!!!

Hi! Elder Draper, I work for Public Utilities and I know your father. I have to say ...I've never seen such a happy and proud father. You see him at work sharing some of your experiences just as he did when your brother was on his mission. Just like Nephi you were born of great parents. Thanks for sharing such great pictures, the food looks amazing and I agree the Mexican food here in the U.S is not the same. Looks like your REALLY enjoying your mission.
ReplyDeleteCuidese mucho y que Nuestro Padre Celestial (NPC) lo bendiga.
I guess it is late to say: Don't drink the water but you're way beyond that. lol :)
