So another week, another adventure. Bible bashing with tj, drug dealing and eating higado.
So its been intresting ... one of my more adventurous weeks. So we are going door to door looking for an investigator and knock on one door and an older lady stares at us. I do the door approach ans she says pasale. As we enter evil shows its face in the form if a testigo de jehovah (jehovah witness). She starts going off... wanting to bible bash... my comp invites her to have a lesson and she states that she doesn't accept our kind of people. My comp freaks out by that statement explains that we are ministers of God and why dont you accept the people. She tried to recover from that by saying we shouldn't be in mexico because we make mistakes with the language, we don't know the bible and some other things i didn't understand and then starts speaking in some weird dialect. ...Interesting. Then another day I was going to a comida (main meal of the day.. lunch here) and the first thing they bring out is liver. So I take a bite which suprised me that it wasnt to bad... kinda like dirt. The lady asks if I want to eat it all and I say yes, of coarse I'm a manly man. I'm a stupid manly man who was sick the rest of the day... threw up proselyting... really threw up that night and diaryia the next day and was living off of pepto the rest of the day. Everyone was trying to give me this herbel tea as if it wasnt hot enough out side. Until next week...Love, Elder Brown

Finally in Mexico
Finally in Mexico. Eric with the Mission President and his wife. Eric does look happy. He called from Ft Worth and was very happy to be out of jail...oh..I mean the MTC. He was one of 10 that left this week. Apparently, and we have it on good sources, the Mexican consulate is only signing 10 visas a week. There are about 70 missionaries overdue, with their departure date for the 21st. So Eric can count his lucky stars..as they are going in alphabetical order.
