Una Noche Muy Divertido

Last night I went to a wedding and it was way fun! The night started with cramming i a taxi with my friend becca and four of her friends. When we first got to the wedding, everyone and i mean everyone was staring at Becca and I. That did not stop for the rest of the night lol. We ate mole and this time it was sweet and pretty good. we also drank this awesome strawberry pop. people could not believe that we did not drink alchol! lol. its cray to me how these weddings are. They are so fancy but so casual all at once. For example the whole place was decked out in white table clothes and decorations. But it was all in an uneven land of dirt and trash everywhere. There were also two bands that played. The first band was a bunch of mexican cowboys lol and man they were hilarious. They got so into it! Yet when we looked around everyone else seemed to be bored out of their minds. Later they set up a huge stage! Like the kind of stage that they use at the county fair for all the big concerts. This band was a little more profestional with red suits and horns lol. Later they moved out the tables in the middle to create a dance floor. These two drunk guys would not leave Becca and I alone. We danced and danced and danced! Then we just had to shut them down. But I am glad that we did because after that we got asked by seriously like 10 other guys. Ah Banda is sooo fun to dance to! i even got asked by two of the cutest guys there:) i love mexico! jaja but I am going to have a bit of a low self-esteem when I get back, because we get so much attention here with out trying lol. There is also a custom her in mexico where everyone dances around the bide and groom in a cirle holding hands and then people go in and dance with the bride and groom. se llama valz. The people I was there with made me go in and dance with the groom. But luckily a different lady took my place quickly so it was not too okward:) Then we sqooshed in a car and went back to Tehuacan. I wanna have my reception in Mexico!!!!!

La Mas Grande Ciudad Del Mundo!

Hey gang. so two weeks ago I traveled to Mexico city that was a good experience:) our first day there we went to the temple. That was awesome. The spirit was so strong and it was soo beautiful and it was so big! ah it was awesome. Our next adventure took place at six flaggs-MEXICO. it was wierd to be at a theme park where noone else spoke english lol. we also got a lot of attention to say the least lol. Carson our blue eyed blonde haired friend, was liked so much that while in line to go on a ride these school girls gave him their school uniform shirt HAHAHA! That night we were all prity tired and hungry. We went to go for dinner but our driver just kept driving and driving. We still have no idea why. Eventually we stopped at our driver's cousin's house lol. Then he gave us directions to a pimpin taco place. It was pretty legit. The tacos were awesome but I put on a lil too much salsa. I can eat spicy food pretty well but that night my mouth was on fire!!!! Lemon and salt and coke were my new best friends lol. They also had these way awesome fried bananas! jaja that place made a small fortune off of all of us that night, i'm sure. Then we got in the bus and again drove forever and ever looking for a place to stay. you would think it an easy task in such a big city. We finally got to a hotel taht seemed reasonable. ha. As soon as we got out of the bus it sounded like we were in a rain storm. But there was no rain. Then we looked up to see the electric power lines. The "rain" we heard was actually the traveling electricity and static in the air. haha! Then when we asked the guy if that was safe he was basically like "idk, it just started doing that the other day." Ha, gotta love Mexico!Then we go down the basement to find a ghetto full sized bed for the three of us. Kinzi, katy y yo. It didn't comfort me any to see over a hundred names carved into the head board with hearts. Then there was no consistency to the hot water at all. The first person to showerhad it ice cold. the second cold hot and hot. Then when I got in, I was scolded by hot water and the cold water didn't work jaja. ya. The next day we hit up muesems, and the zoo. We were pretty excited to find out that the zoo was free, but soon sound out why. Seriously the first 5 stalls looked like an animal habitat, but did not have animals lol. Later we traveled to the center. that was tight there were sooo many people! Mexico city really is the biggest city in the world. I am thankful and awestruck that noone was lost. There were all these ladies with insents "ridding people of evil spirits" lol. Then there was just soo much to look at! I wish that I would have had more time there. Then we went to meet and pick up Becca but someone had the not so smart idea to meet at the airport! ah we drove around for more than 2 hours in search of her lol. But this is how tight my group is. I had a blast going in those circles and just chilling with my hommies and I don't think anyone was angry, there were just a couple people that about wet their pants lol. On this trip we also went to Taxaco! Oh man. Definitely the most beautiful city I have seen here in Mexico. There was no garbage in the street and it was in the mountains and all the buildings were painted white! It is a silver mining town, so obviously there was a ton of silver. Yes I did buy a freakin awesome silver elephant ring:) while there we had a couple meals on the top of rooftops. it made me laugh how expensive it felt to eat there, in comparison to other places to mexico, When really it was like $6 for a good meal with a breathtaking view lol. The best was the ride home. We stopped and ate at Mcdonalds. Haha i've been missing those fries! Then we had a movie marathon on the way home. It was the funniest moment ever. We were in the middle of no where and its gotta be like 11 pm and as we are deciding which movie to watch, everyone just let out all their wiggles by yelling (not contentiously) back and forth and just laughing like crazy. Our bus driver who speaks no english had to be so confused. It was so random. had to be there.
Since we've been back its just my daily adventures. We are currently preparing for a show for the parents. But that has been a nightmare! I have a new respect for the leaders who run the primary program at church! But today we used candy as a motivation and believe me that worked incredibly! I have also obtained a gym membership. Us Americans tend to take over the gym lol. Me and my host brohter have also gotten pritty tight. We hang out everyday. I feel like he is my real brother. we fight and he tries to hang out with my cool older friends and I boss him around haha its fun. We had a birthday party for my host sister last week and ate and danced like every good mexican party. Last Sunday was general conference and so we watched it with all the american missionaries here....IN AN AIR CONDITIONED ROOM! AMAZING! first time since I have been here. It is getting hot. I haven't slept with the covers in 2 weeks now. Oh and this morning I was in another Earth quake! haha it seems so normal to me now lol. Other than that not too much is going on. ha. lie but im tired of writing:)P
