​First off, Happy Mother's Day to all of the amazing Mom's out there.  I wouldn't be here with out mine and either would all of you. hahaha Hope you all have an amazing day!

Well, I successfully discovered Mayan ruins today. Their were already some people that named it but I think I'm gonna name it "Big Rocks". Lol We went to Palenque it was so freaking cool!! It was awesome to go down in the middle of this jungle place and find these giant pyramids. There were even other white people there! The first white people that I've seen that aren't missionaries hahaha. Today when we left to go to Palenque we had to wake up at 4 am to make the bus but then the dumb assistants didn't even show up until like an hour after! So we got there late but it's ok. It's about a 2 hour bus ride and then we were right in the thick of it boys. We got to see the big pyramids and the tombs of the people and all of the carvings and everything! There were horses and a man on fire and I killed a guy with a trident. It was probably the coolest thing I've done in a really long time. The only bad thing was that today it was 100° with 61% humidity, felt like 124 FREAKING DEGREES!!!!! That is so dang hot!!! hahahaha So needless to say I was sweating bullets. So cool though and I took some beautiful pictures.

This week was better for working in our area. We didn't have much time but we're hoping we can get in good with some of these people and dunk them! We met this one family and they were probably the nicest people I've ever met. hahaha They just invited us in to get us out of the heat and then were like,"so what is this message that you nice fellows share?" We taught them and stuck a nice fecha with them so lets see if they can progress this week! The hard thing is that everyone is so dang busy. When we have time, they don't. but alli vamos!!! 

So my comp is turning me into a mega nerd. He is teaching me how to write in the star wars language. hahahaha I have to admit I feel like I'm a 12 year old weenie but we can pass notes and no one knows what we're saying!! Don't judge me people, I'm taking advantage of the extra time I have here in the offices!

Well I love you all and I hope you have a good week!  HAPPY MOTHERS DAY again to all the mamás out there and especially mine!   I love you, Adioooooo
