Hey all!
Well to start off the big news is that Elder Andablo is
going home Wednesday! So tomorrow I will have a new companion! I am excited for
the opportunity to stay in Topilejo for another change but I honestly cannot believe
that i have already been here one change!! It’s crazy!
So there’s not too much to report this week because sadly in
his last week Elder Andablo got pretty sick so we didn’t have much of an
opportunity to work. But there were two cool Mexican adventures this week
worthy of an email note! First of all, this last week started the Topilejo
Festival, that goes for almost 3 weeks! Its like a bunch of live bands and
carnival games in the streets all day every day! We call it Disneylejos because
there are ALWAYS fireworks going off, a bunch of people screaming, and you can
take free pictures with Mickey Mouse (that’s actually just what a drunk guy
told us his name was, but I think it almost counts)! Haha but we have been
keeping super safe, don’t worry. We have had to come back to the house early
almost every day this last week, and probably will have to continue doing so
next week too, it’s hard to not be working, but I know the Lord wants his
servants safe, so it’s alright.
Also, we went to the coolest little town the other day! We
had to go to the dentist so that Elder Andablo could get some work done before
heading home, and we headed to a little town that’s like built on top of a
lake, it’s like a really run down version of Venice! Haha it’s called
Xochimilco! I hope that at some point of my mission I get to go over to this
area, because it was just a super cute little town! It reminded me a lot of
Jackson Hole, and I literally fell in love with it at first glance!
So that’s pretty much all that happened this week, I know a
pretty lame week! I will have a lot more to write next week because I will have
a new comp and we are going to hit the ground running with him as soon as we
get back up to Topi!!
Love and miss you all, hope you have a great week!!
Elder Stout
