Feliz día de acción de gracias!!

I wish Thanksgiving was as hype here as it is in America! One thing I'm absolutely the most grateful for, outside of my family and the gospel, is being a Texas-American mostly American. What a privilege it is.

My Spanish is getting better slowly. I'm just trying to learn a few words a day! It's hard having time to put in actual language study because I would rather read the LdM but I should make time.
There were actually some pretty interesting things that happened this week. I had my first lesson actually in a jungle this week. We taught a man that didn't have space in his house for a visit so we met out back behind his house and he chopped some banana tree leaves down and put our bags on them. He is just the best little abuelito he has like 5 dogs and he lives with his brother who is 72 but they do everything for themselves. We are sitting in the lesson and the 74 year old man stands up and cuts a trash bag down that was hanging in a tree and all his dogs run over. He pulls out of the trash bag a huge, legit horse leg with a hoof on it and everything. He just starts chopping it up with an axe and all the dogs are trying to steal it from him. I asked if I could help him and he said no- he can do it himself. It was the grossest thing ever. lol. I'm just trying to soak everything in.
Make sure to sit back and take advantage of the time we have in the places we are. I love sitting back and just keeping my head up when I walk because it reminds me of how blessed we are to live in such a beautiful planet.
Stay away from pochitoque, it's so gross it's basically a cooked turtle with some green sauce on it.

The Tabasco mud turtle, commonly known as pochitoque here, is a small turtle that can be found in Veracruz, Tabasco, northern Guatemala and Belize. It is found in small streams, marshes and ponds.
Honestly, the food here, in general, is getting really good. I'm starting to settle in!
We have transfers next week and I'm nervous, I hope I get to go somewhere in the city by a Walmart! I got all my housemates into 'golf.' We swing metal poles, working on our swing. It's so funny. I was talking to my mission president and he says we are going to try and golf before he leaves and after the rainy season.
I miss y'all so much. I'm just trying to do my best but I feel like alot of things go wrong. I just finished reading the book Jesus, The Christ. It is so great, I wish I would have read it before my mission. 
I also found some puppies playing in a sandpit and just some pictures of 4 caminos which is the area where we live.
Hope all is well, love ya-
