There are only 2 other missionaries going to Chihuahua and they are both Latinos and speak 0 English hahaha.
I'm so excited to leave this place. Not that the MTC is horrible but 10 hours of class and study time a day really makes me excited for the field.
I was talking to my teacher about Chihuahua and he said that there are a lot of Latinos that are "gangsters" and cartel members and that a lot of the time they give missionaries money because they want us to pray for the illegal business and crimes and they think God will bless them haha. My teacher said I should take the money because they will get mad if I don't so who knows maybe Il'l end up making a profit after the mission is over.
Anyway I'm way excited and pumped to get out into the field and I hope the gift of tongues really kicks in right about now!
Also have been told by a bunch of Latinos that in Chihuahua the people speak really loud and like yell when they talk so maybe when I come home I'll be even louder than usual. I'm sad to leave all the friends that I've made in the MTC. These guys are awesome people and are gonna be great missionaries. Elder Oliphant said that he knows a guy and will hook me up with some courtside Jazz tickets after the mish so I gotta make sure to keep in touch with him haha.
Anyway I have some pics for this week. We found this iguana that had froze to death during the night. Elder de Guzman picked it up and brought it to class and just laid it down on the teachers desk.
We drew a Christmas tree and a fire place in our casa because we asked the president if we could have a real tree and he said no so we had to improvise lol.
Anyway that's all for this week.
Love you all!
Elder Lignell
