How´s it going in Texas? I don´t know if it´s true but I heard rumors that you guys had a winter storm come through. Right now it´s snowing but it´s more like it´s raining so it´s not much fun.

This week was great because we had a little bit of success. We had an investigator who we taught the Sabbath day but he didn´t come to church so we taught him the lesson again and emphasized how important it is to go so this week he came. He had a good time and the sisters brought another investigator so we had a good week. 

Our house is the warehouse for the mission so this week the President came by and took inventory. We have a bunch of old blenders from areas that got shut down or who knows why but he told us to sell them. So we put a table outside and started selling blenders for 150 pesos. We sold 4 out of our 7.5 blenders and I think there is a sister who wants another 2. It was crazy because we put it out for only a half hour and we sold 4. 

We also had a clogged storm drain in front of our house so every time we showered or washed clothes water would run into the street so we had a lot of mud to clean up. So we spent a day cleaning the mud and selling blenders. But on Thursday we were out looking at the drain throwing the water out into the street and the water guys drove by which never happens and called us some help. So a truck showed up in like 5 minutes (not like the maintenance guys back home) and using pipes and a weird slinky thing unclogged the drain. 

Like I said our ward is pretty rich. So Saturday we had 4 meals to go to, mostly because the American Elder is leaving. At 7 in the morning a member dropped of some McD breakfast which was so good, but then at 9 we went to another member´s house for Mexico breakfast. Some how I managed to eat both. Then at 2 we had lunch with another member. Then at about 6 we had dinner with some investigators. I don´t know how I did it. 

So we were pretty busy selling blenders, clearing sewage, and eating a lot of food. This Sunday was transfers so I get a new trainer because mine goes to Casas Grandes, and our district gets rearranged. 

I hope you guys are having a blast back home. How´s school? Any cool experiences? 

Love yáll lots,
Elder Nelson
