This week was pretty interesting haha.
Last P-Day we went down to Eagle Pass and went right next to the
border of Mexico. It was pretty sweet. So we took some pictures with
the giant Mexico Flag in the back.
So on Tuesday we had exchanges. It was the funniest exchange ever. I
went up to Eagle Pass again with Elder Tingey the new District Leader.
The day went great. We taught a lot of lessons and it was all in
Spanish so that was sweet. But to make a long story short we broke 2
bikes so we ended up having to walk around all day which took forever
but it was awesome!
There was a Mission Spanish Conference on Friday up in Kyle which is
about an hour and a half north of San Antonio. So we drove 3 hours to
San Antonio on Thursday and stayed with some other Elders then drove
the rest of the way on Friday. The conference was great. Learned lots
of cool things about Spanish. Then we drove the four and a half hours
back to Carrizo. So basically we were sitting down all day.. But it
was fun.
On Saturday we had a super hard lesson in Spanish. We were teaching an
old hispanic man and I would say something to him and he would look at
me like he had no idea what I just said, then he would ask me what a
word I said meant. So at first I thought it was weird cause he
actually speaks Spanish but then I realized that the words he asked
about had a TexMex version that I had heard people say. So I used
those words and then it was making sense. So we had to teach using
words that we aren't used to using. Which is really hard. But it was a
good learning experience!
That's all I can think of for last week! Have a great week! Love y'all!
