Week 4 has come and gone

EVERYBODY SHUT UP! MY BOY'S ON TV!! Right, now that I've got your attention, hello and welcome to my letter today. I am SO STOKED for General Conference this weekend. Y'all better be there or be square. Or at least listen to it.

Entonces, we are now in the middle of our week 5. Entonces, we will have been here a month tomorrow. Entonces, last P-day was awesome because it was our temple trip! Entonces, the temple was really beautiful and they had this little tienda there with some really sweet ties and CTR/HLJ rings. Entonces, I had to listen to most of it in Spanish though because the headset I got wasn't working right. Entonces, it was really cool getting to see how much I could recognize what they were saying. Entonces, I knew a lot of what it was in English too so I could go off of that as well! Entonces, I'll stop using entonces because it's getting repetitive. 

Entonces, I don't have my journal with me so I'm just gonna wing this. That was a bat pun. Just know that what I talk about in this letter has happened within the last week. Because I may not remember the day.

Entonces, we took this terrible test the other day to see how far our Spanish has come. Needless to say, everyone hated the test and I can't think straight under pressure. So it went pretty bad. For example, on of the questions was, "One of the first things that will happen when you go into the mission field is you will meet your Mission President. Describe what you think will happen you meet your Mission President." And it's not like I had a ton of time to think about what I wanted to say. They gave me like 30 seconds to prepare and then I had to speak about through a mic in only 30 seconds. So yeah.

Entonces, the next thing I want to share with everyone is about a spider. So this spider is like huge. Like basically the size of my palm. And is just chillin right outside a window on our casa. Needless to say, we weren't gonna have any of this spider. So Elder Oldham smacked it with a flyswatter and killed it, then proceeded to slip on the wet tile in the entryway to our casa and scrape his knee. It was quite the turn of events.


Entonces, our service project this week almost seemed pointless. It was like they wanted us to rake up dead, mowed grass and move it 100 yards away. Where they would spread out the grass for someone else to rake up and move it again. But I don't think they would have us do that. Also it was by the wall of the CCM and literally there were like 10 spiders for every square inch.

Entonces, there is probably something big that I am forgetting to say. But for now I believe this is it.

Love y'all.
Hasta luego y gracias por todos los pescados.
Elder Turner

Lots of pictures.


And the temple. 






And a scripture case.


And a hillside full of colorful houses but getting a picture of it is a pain.


And 2 new ties!


Also, here's a pic with half of the Latino district that we are comps with. 
My comp, Elder Palacios, isn't in it though


Also, I don't know if you have seen the Mormon Message called The Hope of God's Light, but it is really powerful! Just wanted to share it!

Hello people! So back once again here. Let's get into this letter. Which won't be too long because there isn't much too say. So on Wednesday, I went on a quick intercambio with Elder Diaz, who I was with for a time in Sabinas. So that was awesome, though the people that went looking for weren't home. And then after we ended the exchange and went to a FHE with our most recent convert Lalo and his family. We invited this missionary who served in this mission before who happened to be here to come. But then him and his bishop turned our FHE into their business proposal... So that was interesting. There was this person that we were teaching, Diana, who was really open and interested. The only problem was, that her parents are very, very against us. So that was a big bummer. She can't progress right now because of her parents. And Saturday was a busy day as well. We had our cita with Gaby, who is interested, but doesn't want to come to church. And finding...
