Marc's email 12/20/2010

Well it is time again for another email somehow. This week absolutely flew by. I honestly cant remember much so I will just write the Highlights. On Tuesday we had our area´s Christmas party that was pretty good. There were like 70 Elders and we all just met at the chapel and ate. The food was terrible and the noise was a bit much. There arent many things worse than a group of missionaries talking as loud as they can in Spanish. I gave an elder a machete for Christmas while all of the other missionaries gave ties and stuff. How lame are some people in this life. He was excited for it though, who wouldnt be. Then last night we went to the temple to try to contact people and get them to go to the Visitor Center. LEt me paint the picture for you. Your boy, Elder Burr and his comp Elder Wright were posted up in the median right next to some guy with an amputated leg begging for money. When the light would turn green we would walk up to the windows and I would have to talk to the people in spanish. Yeah I had to knock on peoples windows to speak to them in spanish. So tight and so funny. I love it though. So overall this week was great. Every day we just walk our feet raw and laugh all along the way. That is about all you can do out here is laugh and speak spanish. It sounds like things there are great. I will call at 12 your time so whoever wants to be there can but i only have like an hour or so. Thank you everybody for your support. Mom and Dad and family I love you and wish you a Merry Christmas from Mexico. I will call you on Saturday. Have a great week and a Merry Christmas.
