Elder Smart, first day in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz México. |
@MisionMexicoVillahermosa2019to2022
We taught a young boy and his family this past week. I thought it went well even though my Spanish is still coming along and getting better. This is a photo of the family's home we taught. Their home, in the foreground is to the far left, in the photo below.
Elder Cicerone, my companion from the CCM/MTC emailed me and said this about the Spanish language spoken in Villahermosa - which I think must be pretty accurate; the Spanish spoken here is like a Floridian - someone from Florida speaking with an Alabaman accent. I think my Spanish is getting better - when I sleep, I dream in Spanish, haha. I have also learned some Spanish cuss words - not by my own will but by others, haha.
The members feed us well too! I am thankful for that. They will often cook a dish that is pork, that has a bright red color to it, add some Feta cheese and eggs - not sure what it is called but is very good! Also, a jello-type pudding with fruit and nuts - fantastic! Have to figure out how to make that too! Have a great week!
