First week in the field has been a blast! Although, I am lost 88% of the time! First day was rough with the language, but I can mostly understand what is being said during our lessons now!
But this past week has been awesome. Invited 3 people to baptism, and baptised someone already! Augustin was his name. I had to do in spanish obviously and that was tough!
My comp Elder Avila is from Veracruz Mexico, so he knows 0 english. That is a little tough but It´s fun!
Our ward is great... sorta. Our bishop is lazy. Like alot. And forgot to do the confirmation of our newly baptised investigators on sunday during sacrament. Oh and Im typing on a spanish computer so it thinks everything I type is incorrect and my spelling is terrible now that i have two languages trying to come out. So sorry if i misspell stuff.
What else.... Oh yeah the food! We get fed everyday so thats awesome. Most days we start with a soup, then some type of carne and rice. And always always picante. Ive definitely gotten used to it though! Oh and every meal we have corn tortillas. And the coke here is magical. Its normally reffered to as Agua de Mexico because everyone drinks it all the time. MAinly because the water here has to be bottled to be safe to drink, so its just as cheap to buy a 3 liter of coke. Yes, a 3 liter. Insane!
Hows everything over there?! Miss you guys! Ill definitely send pictures in a second!
Love,
Elder Butler
Dad's note - in an separate email he mentioned that the shower in his apartment is broken so they take a bucket shower. To heat the water they drop an old iron in the water to heat it up. He did say they unplug the iron and wait a few minutes to take it out.

This soup was the color of a pink highlighter. And tasted like one too. Only thing you can do is just down it as fast as humanly possible!
our casa is on the roof of an apt building and this is the view from our back patio. City as far as the eye can see.
