Snow Snow in Mexico

it snowed this week!
it hasn´t snowed here in 20 years, but this week it got really cold and it snowed all through the night on friday. 
we live above this member lady and she is really awesome and kind and she has a grand daughter who is 5 years old and her name is abby and abby´s christmas wish this year was that she would see snow, and she was soo excited and the hermana made us tacos for breakfast and we played in the snow with her granddaughter and we snowball fought and she made a little snowman, she is super cute. she sang jinglebells in english and did a little dance, all the snow had melted by like 10 o clock, but they still canceled school. 
Mexicans are a little superstitious about some health things, the bishop gave us doctor masks because he said that when you breath in cold air it goes to your lungs and gives you pnemonia, and i´m like, "dude it´s like 40 degrees, i don´t need a doctor mask". but i apreciated the thought. 
more cristmas miracles, we got gifted a lot of things this week, some lady gave us tortilla chips for no reason, a member gave us both these cool hat scarfs. and Leo, the coolest guy, the spanish engineer that we are teaching, looks at me and he is like "Grilliot are you cold?" and i´m like "yeah a little" and he just takes his scarf right off and gives it to me. wow. the next day he´s like "Grilliot how are your hands feeling?" and i´m warming them, "a little cold" and he takes a pair of gloves out of his pocket and gives them to me, and they were nice gloves! I hope everyone in spain is as gentleman and honorable and kind as Leo. It´s really needed too because i really did not expect it to get cold in mexico haha.

all in all this was a wonderful week. like a beautiful week. there were many moments this week that i just felt filled with good junk. really happy. When you serve people, you just love them. I love being a missionary, this is the most satisfiying work. i really believe that. 

LOVE ELDER GRILLIOT

hey we had Christmas this week. we ate turkey and got to call our families. that was really nice. this week we also saved a cat. we were at like a little park gazebo and some little kids were next to us playing with this dying kitten. the cat was dying. he was crying and trying to get away, but his back legs didn´t work so he was just crawling and it looked really horrible. the kids told us he got hit by a bike. the little boy was like grabbing him and shaking him and it was pretty cold out. and it really seemed like the cat was going to die. so now we have a cat. he´s doing a bit better.  Elder Grilliot

Muscle Boys Go!

I started teaching elder Saico some good phrases in english, he wants to go to school in America. One of the phrases that i tried to teach him was "Doof McMuffin, the greatest horseman that ever lived." but it didn´t stick. So this week we made a new power phrase, following our secret handshake, we throw our hands in the air and shout, "Muscle Boys Go!" At first he didn´t like it, but he began to realize that he could get me to laugh every time he says it, and so he uses it now to encourage me. Use Humor Earlier today i received some revelation that i was really needing. This has been a hard week actually. I´ve just been feeling grumpy and kind of stressed. And last night i had the funniest dream. I was hanging out with a bunch of guys from the NBA and they were just joking around, and in my dream i thought they were Sooo funny. like I’m almost sure that i laughed in my sleep. and i woke up and we went and bought groceries and i ate really well. i mixed scra...

New Camera! Elder Saico  My goofy smile look (Here is the gentleman that is blind that I shared in this week's letter.) okay well we have already got to go but man wasn´t it cool that i sent pictures this week? more next week probably some higlights from this week some of our friends told us some wack stories we talked with this guy who is really cool, he used so much drugs that he went blind, and then he left all the drugs and he told us that he is much happier blind than he ever was being an addict, he told us about the way that an addicts mind works and it´s really ugly. it really opened my mind. Drugs ruined his life and he has scars all up his arms because he tried to kill himslef with a razor. now he´s a really happy delightful blind man. his dad shined our shoes, his dad is ex police, he has some crazy stories too, he was almost killed a few times. like they kidnapped him ...
