I Might Be Mexican- Estanzeuala- Week 9

Okay, lets see, I will see what I can do about my suit.(I told him that he needs to find a tailor and get it taken it, because it is so huge on him in the pictures that he sent.) I do notice that its necessary, because this thing is really big now. I just remember that guy in Missionary Mall that told me that everybody gains weight on their mission. He lied.
But Mexico, The biggest tradition for Christmas I have heard about here are the tamales. They say that everybody just makes a ton of them here. And everybody wants to have us come eat tamales on Christmas. I have also seen a lot of pinatas being sold and poinsettias too. The branch had a posada but we were only able to be at like an hour of it because it started super late. At this point i have also just been seeing a lot of Santa Claus stuff and Christmas lights. Everything is pretty normal. Except it sounds like the 24th is bigger than the 25th here. Probably because here they all care a lot about the Virgin Mary. But apart from that there have been a few less active members that ask us about when Christ was really born. And like it says in Jesus the Christ, we believe Christ was born in the flesh April 6th bc 1. But then we tell them that it is okay that we celebrate Christmas in December because the important thing is that we dedicate a time to remember His birth, and we don't want to be the weirdos that are celebrating Christmas in April. So that has been fairly interesting this week.
And which little sister are you trying to fatten up. You didn't say, and I don't know which it would be. Also about the whole Skype thing. Between coordinating with the other elders and the branch members here, the time I think I will be writing is 6 o'clock here in Monterrey. Which I think works out to 4 back there. So I know that that might not be perfect, but I think that is the time it is going to work out as. You can confirm with me on Monday and there might be the chance of me changing to 5 if you want, but I think six is when it will be. But if you could forward me the Skype name and password that I will use to talk to you that would be totally awesome.

Okay, well, I would just like to congratulate you on your relief society work. The relief society secretary is getting released here too, and when I told her you were getting released as a relief society secretary, she thought that that was so awesome. And how great that you are called to teach little children. Great for you at least, I'm not sure I would like it. There are some awfully behaved children here. But today I found out that one of the sisters in our district wants to go to the US and be a kindergarten teacher. I told here that you were one and she thought that was awesome. So I guess the moral of both of those stories is that Mexican people think you are awesome. And I think you are awesome, too. So the possible conclusions are either that I am Mexican (and the people that yell "gringo" or "guero" (that second word has the little two dots over the u and is pronounced gwero and means light skinned person) as we walk by in the street constantly remind me that I'm not Mexican) or that you're awesome. And I guess you are just awesome. I hope that made sense. 

We just had a zone activity where we played american football and basketball and Mexican football or just football or soccer as you gringos call it and I am super tired, too. But everything is super awesome, and I will see you in a week hopefully. and talk to you on Monday. I love all of you and hope you are enjoying your holiday season. I love all of you!!!!!! BYE!!!!!! (when I say all of you I mean anybody that ever reads this letter.) And I especially love you my family!!!!
